Saturday, June 1

Happy June--Catathon Month! It's coming!  Catathon 3 is June 23, Sunday from 1:00 to 4:30 ish. Please mark your calendar. It's guaranteed to be fun and exciting! You can now pre-resgister for the Catathon. Just go to our website: fofrescue.org and check out the form. If you think you'll be ordering anything for the Catathon, this form will make it easier for us to have all the information correct. We do NOT share any of your info with anyone else. Then, about 2 weeks before the Catathon, the pre-orders of set-priced items will be available for you to order! We have 19 items that are all priced $5 to $28 that you can purchase out-right, without bidding on them! We'll be showing these items on the cam. During the Catathon, these same items can still be purchased, along with the Baskets and Big-Ticket Items! We'll be showing you the Baskets and Big-Ticket items also this month, plus they will be on the website soon.

Yesterday, throughout the day, we showed the six big boxes that Peggygal sent us. These boxes were stuffed full with more Leggydews! Awesome! They will be up for pre-sale and at the Catathon too! Beautiful designs. This will be a bit different though than the Day Sales. Here, you'll indicate if you'd like a boyish design, a girlish design or a "doesn't matter" design"!

We had BOXES last night! So many thanks to you!

Mix them all up and let them play together.............are you going to be able to tell them apart? My guess is NOT! I am even having a difficult time. It's very very important to not mis-ID them, as they are all on different schedules for vaccinations, wormings, tests, etc.  Because there are so many that look alike and many of them are very close in size, for the first time ever, we may need to put name tags on them. Don't like the thought of doing that, but it's possible that we may. They're all sweet, playful, healthy and happy.
