Weds., August 16, 2017

Where are these weeks going to?  Going by so fast.  I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with the mass about of cats and kitties???!  

The 18 kittens that have been in the back Thumper's Room are now up to the Main Area full time.  They spent their first night up last night. They have fit right in and can play full speed with the other kittens. We are definitely doing the kitty-shuffle-walk here. 

We've had 2 more adoptions!  Braewyn was adopted to his new family. I've already heard from his new family--he loves the toys and hair band toys and to cuddle. The pictures are so sweet. He fit right in too! And Olle went to the family that adopted Tucker earlier in the week. This made Tucker very happy to have a kitty friend to play with.  All is good!

We have many kittens on hold. We just have to have their spays/neuters done before they can leave.  Saturday is our FFRC surgery date. This will keep us busy. I don't think we'll make it thru our entire list but we will make sure those that have holds on them get done.  

The complete list is:
Females:  Betty Boots, Estelle, Kukisi, Denise, Shelly, Sheila, Gretl, Gudrid.
Males: Ramsay, Valentine, Valley, Darzin, Smitty, Storm, Anchor, Allman, Billy Boots, Coco, Clay, Brody and Arlo.

We will also have quite a few public cats that we committed to spaying and neutering. These we must do per our commitment

We had BOXES on Monday evening.  Your support is always very important to us. Thanks!

Ramsay the new Ch kitten is doing wonderful. He's figuring things out! We have been putting him in Cat's Corner Room though for nighttime. 

I'd like to put this out there---a super big giant thanks to our volunteers.  They are superb and the best in the world. The care they give, the compassion, the time and all that they do---it's just wonderful. We would not be able to function without them. 

We took on two new kittens. 
LJ--for Lloyd Jr.  He is a tiny brown tiger, 3 1/2 weeks old, just 13 ounces but is eating by himself!  He was found by himself and brought to FFRC. His birthday is 7/21/17. He's a happy boy and sure can purr. He loves his stuffed white goose that's in his pen with him to snuggle with.  He and Lloyd will be good friends, I'm sure. 

Florence--female, longhair grey tiger.  This little girl should be called Lucky Florence. She's 6 1/2 weeks old, weighs 1.08. Her birthday is 7/1/17.  She was on a busy street when a semi truck drove right over her (not ON her, but over the top of her).  The wind force rolled her into the other lane where another vehicle did the same thing. This driver saw her then in his rearview mirror all huddled along the side and so he stopped. Her only injuries is a very sore hip area. That should be better in a couple days. Such a pretty little girl.

LJ and Florence are "housing" together in the top pen of the front Thumper's Room.  We'll keep them there until Florence feels better and LJ is a bit bigger. 

Catstock....here we come!  Only 24 more days! I just talked to the band Strawberry Hill and they are ready to join us!
