Today is our HumaneOhio Day. A very busy check in!  We sent up 57  (56 cats and 1 dog). Here's the breakdown:  1 dog, male    &    56 cats!!!!!!!  35 females & 21 males.  Here's the total for 2018, so far:  467 females and 356 males=823.  Plus, to date, we've done 2 male dogs. We're getting closer and closer to that golden goal of 1,000.  Last year at this time we were at 753. 

We took in a new kitten yesterday that was close to being eaten by a dog.  Her name is Kerfuzzy. She's a gorgeous long hair black/white kitten who was loaded with fleas. Itchy, itchy but not any longer. She had two bubble baths to get her clean. She's 10 weeks old with a birthday of 7/16/18.  Kerfuzzy is a sweetie--very friendly. 

We've also had 2 more adoptions. 
Callisynne was adopted 9/24.  She went into a home where she can have so much fun--watching birds and squirrels from many windows! I've already heard back from the family and she appears to be quite happy. She even has a couch facing the window to watch the woods!

Kwan was adopted this morning 9/25.  He went into a home with a mom/dad and 3 kids and 2 other cats. One of those cats is a past FFRC cat! He's going to have lots of loving from the entire family! 

The rumors must stop!  Derecho has NOT had a stroke.  Derecho is NOT crippled.  Yes, he has had a bit more wobbly gait. His top vertebrae and 5th vertebrae was out of alignment but was visited by his personal back doctor last night and all was put back  in order. He probably jiggled a bit too hard when he was walking about. He's also on anti-inflammatories. Derecho is already acting better.  

Many of you knew that Marilyn was adopted......yes but for only 2 days.  She was returned today. It was thought by her new person that she was terribly sad and did not want her to be that way.  So, she is back and I must say, Vernon has been very happy!

Czar is doing terrific. He and Rosie love to tussel and chase together. Giovanna's appetite has picked up some so hoping she is improving. 

Barnabus is doing good in his new home! Such good news. He's investigated the whole house but enjoys laying in the lap of his humans! 

Take care and I'll blog again probably after my vacation! Tomorrow packing has to be started! I will also keep my emails at a minimum.  All is taken care of and will go fine!
