FFRC's surgery day is this Saturday.  We have our tentative list.  Remember, thigs can change at the last minute due to weights.  Here is our hope-to-do-list:
Females:
Gisela, Zoie, Grace O'Malley, Jillian, Tina

Males:
Thane, Mars, Wellington, Wels, Zino, Zeke

Plus, we have a handful of public male cats coming in.  

We also have quite a few physicals to do: Marilyn, Spiker, Alma, Annetta, Derech, Eddie White, Hilary, Mitz, Paddy Purr, Paddy Cake & Pipkin.  Most of these are for their annual physicals. Remember.....those physicals are so important, just like your cats--that's where problems may be resolved while still a small problem. 

We had an awesome Warped Flash Sale yesterday.  Many thanks to Warped for her wonderful boxes--they were just full of all her famous things. We saw warpedeedoos, kleenex pouches, table toppers, crate pad, coasters, neck coolers just to name a few items.  These items are superb in quality. We are always so so grateful to Warped for sharing her items.  And thanks to Mich and Vern for coming to do the Sale. They even got to squeeze in kitten-holding-time! The money from this Flash Sale will help us with our operational needs. These needs have mounted with the increase of kittens--but we'll get those bills widdled down! 

Box #4 was not opened--we just simply ran out of time. So..........you will have the pleasure of that fourth box sometime soon. We'll keep you posted!  

We have many thanks to give!

It happened!  The floor kittens of the back Thumper's Room spent the entire day and night time in the Kitty Kabana room.They are now the Kabana crew! Their door was opened this morning and they are free to investigate and run about.  We will occasionally put them back in the Kabana to make sure they continue to eat good.

We had 2 cats returned yesterday.  They were both about 3 1/2 months old when adopted. They just recently turned 1 years old. Just as a refresher:
Paislie: her mama was killed by a dog. This dog then grabbed Paislie when my friend saw what was happening. She got the kitten away from the dog and brought here to FFRC.

Helga: found on a porch, all alone, no mama, was dehydrated.
They were adopted together and returned yesterday. Remember, our policy is that we will take back any cat or kitten, for any reason, without question.  They are doing good. Both cats are now in the back Thumper's Room, on the floor. Helga is out and about already. Paislie is a little shyer.  When they are comfortable we will see if they are ready to come to the Main Area. 

Vusiko is such a clown. She loves to whap a person when they go by her. Just for the fun of the reaction.  She's a little rascal--sure love her! Eddie White was on top of the refrigerator this morning, just watching things happening. What a difference in his life since he decided to join us. Pipkin too is remarkable. Remember when she was so very shy.  Now she likes to nose-kiss!

Things really start happening now for Catathon!  Baskets are in order of rounds now. Tags are on most of the items--others will be complete soon.  The special tags for each (of who the winners will be) will also be placed on each item soon.  Descriptions and pictures of each basket and item will start next week.  Volunteer slots will be filled for where help is needed. Talking to the telephone company to work on setting up the 7 phones will happen. Food will be planned for the big day. Discussions on the cams and microphones has to happen. Lots of things going on!   There are only 38 days left until Catathon!

Today we will have BOXES at 3:00.  See you then!  Have a wonderful day!
