Sunday, April 1, 2018

The new numbers are in!  Yesterday was our FFRC Neuter Day. We did 31 neuters and we snuck in 1 spay! These 31 neuters were from our community and surrounding area.  The spay was from FFRC's. Vusiko. She did just fine!  Hoping to encourage her to come up to the Main Area soon.

Ta-da!  You ready for the grand spay/neuter newest update?  The 31 neuters today now brings our total to 130 males done.  The single spay today brings our total to 147 spays done. This comes to 277 surgeries so far this year! Last year, at the end of March 2017, we were at a total of 191.  I'm dreaming of hitting 1000 this year! Our next spay/neuter day is this coming Tuesday, with HumaneOhio.

We just had a deposit of $259.79 to our FFRC account from Amazon for January sales! Thanks ever so much for this use of Amazon!

We've had 4 more adoptions!  On 3/29, we had 2 separate adoptions. 
Bert went to his new home. His new name is Bootsie. We've received pictures and he sure loves to cuddle with his new family. "Bootsie likes to sleep and sit on Carl's shoulder. He's a lovable lil'fella"!)  

Ashley was also adopted! She went to a great home as well. He went to a great lady! She'll also have her vet care continued at our vet in Bryan--Dr. P's office! 

On 3/30, we had another 2 separate adoptions.
Neve was adopted. She went to a family that has lots o love to give. They had recently lost a pet and needed to have the love of another kitten. I think Neve will work great! I've already seen a picture and she looks very happy!

Nedda was also adopted (Neve's sister). Nedda went to a very wonderful home too. She will also have grandchildren of her new mama to love on her! 

I've also heard from Congo's new family. This kitten is so cherished and belongs to a young boy that needed a kitten to love. From the pictures I've seen, Congo and his new friend are best buddies!

Emma Jane's kittens and the Grey plus litter makes up 9 kittens. Right now, we have 8 of them on hold! They need grow up time yet!

Our two newest goldie boys, Kandan and Kubu have now "graduated" to the Main Area. They love to climb the trees and jump. They are busy little boys! 

Many of you know that Jones had a couple weeks of being very "off".  We seem to have gotten thru this period and he is back to being our Jones boy again. There's not much more that can warm the heart as when you walk into PawMart and he comes "running" up to you. He so loves his cuddle time. 

Have a blessed Easter. I understand all the cats kittens are looking for their catnip  eggs!
