Happy Spay & Neuter Day!  Today was another HumaneOhio day!  We sent up 37 cats. This broke down to 18 males and 19 females.  We have a new Total!  We have had 2 Voucher cats--both males.  That made our total 639.  Now, with these 37 cats--it's a total of 676!  This breaks down to 385 females and 291 males.  We sent up 3 of our boys--Clowey, Cherokee and March.

It is so very hard to never have enough room to take in the many kittens and cats that need help. But, sadly, it's true. We get socked daily with calls wanting us to take in more and more and more.  We try but of course, it's impossible. That is why we are trying to do as many spays/neuters as we can.  Currently, we do 3 spays/neuters a month.  Please......help with this overwhelming problem.  Even if each person did ONE spay/neuter, the impact made will be great. Thank you.

We had BOXES yesterday. We are always so very grateful. Everything given to FFRC is used 100% and with a smile!

We've heard from Joy who adopted Wonder and Brinn. They have new names. Brinn is now called Brynn Ann and Wonder is now Renee Lyn.  They are doing both. The pictures sent are wonderful! 

We've taken on 3 new kittens. 
Pow Wow--in memory of Nikka. He's an ASH (American Short Hair) tiger/white with a white muzzle & chin.  He's 7 weeks old with a birthday of 6/25/18.  He arrived 8/6.  He and his brother were simply on a doorstep of a lady who has big dogs that do not like cats. She snagged them up for safety and brought to FFRC. 

Freckles--he has a cute little dot on his nose! He's charcoal & white but as the charcoal goes back on his body, it looks more black! Very cute. His birthday/entry of course, is the same as Pow Wow's.  He has a white blaze up up  nose to forehead.  Both of these boys are very sweet and very playful!

Rosie--in honor of Gusti.  She's a beautiful brown tiger, only 4 weeks old, weighing 14 ounces.  She was found in an alley--no mama, no littermates.  Her birthday is 7/9/18 and she arrived on 8/6.  What a sweetheart she is.  Today, she got to join Freckles & Pow Wow for company.  They are all snugged up together napping at the moment!

We have more Thanks to give:
Hallie G--donation to FFRC
David D--donation to FFRC
Tina S & friend--day visitors--lots of wonderful items!
Eaglewatcher--donation to FFRC, in honor of Elizabeth's birthday!
Tracy L--donation to FFRC
Tracy L--donation to FFRC
Eric M--donation to help with Tshambo, Paddy Cakes & the spay/neuter program
Davszy--donation to help where needed
Ju-in-ji--donation to help with Clowey

Paddy Cake continues to do well.  And he will continue on his meds.  I'd say his personality is fully back too!  Tshambo is doing wonderful. He loves to put his head in your hand so his ears can be rubbed.  He's very good with the other cats. We've been trying to coax him into the Main Area---but to him, just looking into this area is enough for him!  

Soon, we will be letting the crew of 11 kittens up into the Main Area. Then we start all over again with adoptions!  Most of these 11 are way too small yet for spaying/neutering. But, they are growing and are very active. 

A friend sent this to me---I'd like to share (it's for Friendship):
I've learned....that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.   I've learned...that no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.  I've learned...that being kind is more important than being right.  These words are by Andy Rooney.  Take care and I wish for each of you to have a very wonderful day!
