Cooler temps are coming! The volunteers and cats are
glad! I always find it interesting, that
even though we are air conditioned, on those really hot and humid days, the
cats can still feel it. They become “flat cats” on the floor. Extra thanks to those that provided drinks
for the volunteers—we’ve sure been doing a lot of rehydrating!
We took on two more sister kittens:
Tickles and Toodles.
They were dumped at a church a couple days ago in the very hot weather.
They huddled by the trash containers the entire day. A friend of ours and her
brother took food and water to them during the day. When they were still there
early evening, they brought them to FFRC.
Both were a bit dehydrated. But…somewhere, someone treated these two
kittens kindly as they are friendly. How does one come to be dumped then? I will never know or understand that. Toodles is a gorgeous brown tiger with golden
eyes. Tickles is a black/white with a white splotch on the back. Their birthday is 5/9/18, making them 4
months and 1 week old. They arrived 9/4/18.
The other two newbies—Myra and Boaz—are doing terrific. They
are now in the Main Area and have joined the rank of playful kittens! They both have just fit right in.
Annetta is especially happy.
Somehow her little toy that she thinks is her baby got lost. Connie D found a replacement. Last night,
Annetta had it in her mouth and was doing her special meowing that she does
when she’s carrying it around! Thanks, Connie for making Annetta happy!
We also took in a young kitten that our volunteer Susie
found on her way to work. We got her up
to date on the medical part but she needs major TLC as she is very unsure of
humans. So…..she is at a person’s house who is big-time holding her and helping
her know that people are nice! Her name is Greybie.

Update on Steve! His surgery went very well on Tuesday. He was
able to get his “real fake” knee. If the cultures show nothing by Monday, then
no infection! If it comes back positive,
he may need a couple weeks of IV therapy, but the doctor thought the knee
looked good! He’s already been up walking a bit and thinks this knee is
wonderful! Thanks for all your prayers and good thoughts. He will be home today!
Saturday/tomorrow is Catstock! Come one, come all for some fun
adult time! The Band is ready—Strawberry

We’ve had three adoptions yesterday morning! The twins Zazzle and
Razzle plus Leah have their new home and family! These are the School & Woodpile kittens. I've already heard from their new family and they are all 3 doing very well!
We've also heard from the family that adopted Cheerios and Prentyss. Prentyss isnow JuJu and Cheerios is Pina. They have won over their other cat Kiwi who would like to think she's their new mama! The kittens are both doing great.
Take care. Have a great day. Catstock……..here we come! 1 more days!
