Awesome video! Many thanks to Kathy K/justme for doing this fantastic video. FFRC Official Christmas 2018 Video---this is an official video of ©Friends of Felines Rescue Center, Defiance, Ohio 2018.  Please click the like/thumbs up button on youtube as it helps generate more $$ for  https://youtu.be/r884OTXyJcE   Derecho is her assistant.

Two more adoptions!  A couple came in yesterday. The lady was going to pick out a cat for her. But....Coco had something to say. He zeroed in on the man and wouldn't give up. The pressure was on!  He batted the man, patted him, rubbed on him and made it quite clear that HE was the cat to be adopted! So........it had to happen. CoCo even went into the carrier all by himself! As we finished up the adoption, Toodles, who the lady had been looking at, jumped up beside CoCo's carrier and rubbed and rubbed on it.  That's all it took--Toodles was going too!  This is what I mean----it's wonderful to let the cats pick their owners!

Little Azzilee is doing great. She is up in the Main Area and is making friends. Edwina is improving. Her appetite is great. Her infected eye is doing better--I do believe this eye will be saved and she will have sight. We'll get her stronger and healthier--she is already wanting to make friends with the other cats!

Our Quickie Flash Sale yesterday was wonderful. We made $572 on this sale. All of it will be applied to our bill for the much needed window repairs for Kitty City.  We had to have 3 windows removed. The wood around them was rotted and the panels had slipped down, letting the weather into the building.  We now have 3 good windows and good wood frames on them.  In the spring, the outside of these areas have to have attention to keep the building in good working order. We use this building for so so many things for FFRC.  Thanks for helping us move forward with this repair.

Cashew, that was adopted, has a new name.....it's Tucker Cash! And he's a happy boy!

Singita has been returned.  While the family sure wanted to have her stay, they felt that Singita was mourning for her kitties.  She is already relaxed, eating and is right back to where she was before her adoption.  So.....a new plan of action!  2-3 times a day, all the doors will be opened from back Thumper's Room to the front, for short periods of time.  This will allow the kittens and Singita to explore the Main Area and the Main Area cats can explore the back.  Yesterday was their first exploration and we had baby fluffies even in the Kabana!  I believe the family will just stick to Telo--they love him so very much! 

The Crescent News visited FFRC and will do a story on our over 1,,000 spays/neuters!  It'll be probably this week.  Thanks to our local paper!

The upside down Christmas tree is up!  And it's so beautiful. It's decorated with ornaments that people have donated to FFRC over the years. It's safe and the cats can't get into it---at least they haven't figured it out yet! 

Kitties are healthy and growing. Cats are happy. All are so sweet. I think they're being extra good because King Derecho and Queen Coralie has told them Santa will be here soon!
