Tuesday, November 7, 2017

Surgery day! This morning we had another HumaneOhio spay/neuter day.  Check ins begin about 5:20 and are done at 6:00 am.  Today we checked in 37 cats and kittens. This was made up of 27 females and 10 males.  Every single cat that we do is a help towards curbing the cat overpopulation problem. 

Our grand total now is 790 spays/neuters for 2017. This breaks down to 466 females and 324 males.  At this time a year ago, we were at 516. We have already let HumaneOhio that we want to continue doing 2 of their transports a month!  

We had BOXES last night! Oh, such wonderful boxes! Thank you!

Most of you know, but wanted to put this "out there" again as we always have new friends joining us!  Our website is fofrescue.org.  Lots of good information there to see!

And don't forget about our Petfinder information! It's at: http://www.fofrescue.org/adopting/now-available/

Zelda is doing just fine since her surgery! She swears they removed 2 pounds of "fat" from her hernia--so she's trying to coax extra snackers from us now.  I keep telling her that's not how it works!  Purrdony and Purrkins are crazy kittens--they've been dragging a feather around with some of the other kittens chasing after the feather. They sure know how to create fuN!  Boni has an endless pit of a tummy.  Poor kitten must've been so hungry sometime in her young life. She sometimes gets her very own plate so she doesn't boss those big adult cats away.  Shirley Mae is still having her ear treated every day.  Even though, I believe, we are making headway on her middle ear infection, she may still end up with a head tilt.  

Maya is awesome. She has it figured out--spread those legs to help with her balance and she can get quite a distance! She loves attention. And Lucie too--she is amazing. She is here again by my desk for the extra pettings. She can get to where she wants to go! And she's such a happy girl.  She so loves being in a lap and having her head rubbed and petted.

Still working on winter preparations.  We are putting two very large piles of stone into the horse corral to help keep the mud away this winter.  We will now also be getting the shelter house ready for winter since we probably won't have any more picnics there till spring.  We have to put a tarp up yet at The House that Jonah Built.  This tarp does a great job of keeping the wind away from the door.  The horses and cats are getting fuzzy with their winter furcoats.

Little Shalimar's sore leg is doing great now. But Arvin now has a slight limp.  These kittens get so super active and sometimes takes a tumble.  No fractures though--just need a bit of rest to let the sprain heal. No harm done. These Persian kittens are simply so much fun to watch--very active! 

We took in a cat that was found at a local hotel yesterday. It's the one that Deb11111 saw. There was another lady there too trying to catch the cat. Deb gave her the address of the rescue center and told her if she caught her to bring her here. Yesterday the lady showed up with the cat! And the best news is that we found the owner thru a lost/found ad! Today this cat is being spayed at HumaneOhio and then will go back to her family tomorrow morning! Thanks, Deb for being a part of this rescue!
