Me: Sasekani---you seem to be very interested in Feather's babies.
Sasekani: Well, you have to admit--they sure are cute!
Me: But, yours are too. Feather--what about you? You seem a bit disinterested.
Feather: Sasekani has it under control. I'm a bit bored with babies right now. I really like those birds out the window!
Me: Feather, you have 4 pretty babies and they need YOU to take care of them.
Feather: How about if I feed Sasekani's babes once in a while and mine once in a while and then go window watching again?! After all, my name is Feather, so I'm suppose to like watching birds.
Sasekani: Yes!!!!! That sounds like a plan! You pitch in some and I'll fill in the slack and you can watch those birds. As long as you share your dessert plates with me! I like those dollops of baby food we get!
And then there were paw-high 5's to seal the deal!
So it looks like Sasekani and Feather are in agreement about sharing the babies! Now we don't have to worry when the kittens are mixed up! They are well cared for by BOTH mamas! Such a wonderful thing!
We have a new updated thermometer for the 20th Anniversary activities! Check it out. Love seeing that red climb up!

Update on Pinto: He was already neutered at Dr. P's office, so we will just need to do his eye enucleation on 4/9, our FFRC surgery date. He is indeed a bit shy but doesn't have a mean bone in his body--just shy bones! And we're working on that.
We had a Quickie Flash Sale on Tuesday. We took in $532 for this sale. This amount will be directly applied for our recent propane gas bill! Many thanks for the items, the people who purchased them and to the Flash Mods.
We have a change in plans for Sinbad. He was originally going to be adopted this week. But his potential new owner found an oldster at the local shelter and decided this senior cat needed a home. I'm very happy for this oldster cat.
Do you shop Amazon? Do you, when placing an order, go to our website at fofrescue.org and click on the Amazon link? If so, FFRC gets a kick back from that. We just received the amount for December. It wa for $346.59! This really helps!

We have taken on 2 new cats yesterday.
TIM--a solid slate gray cat, 5 months old. Fractured front leg and lacerated eye area. Was a hit by car. Unfortunately, at this point, it looks like the radial nerve has been severed. We will let him rest and see what Dr. Darcy thinks. In the meantime, he's receiving soreness meds. His birthday is 9/16/18. He has been an outside kitten his whole young life.
Mowgli--a long hair torti. We're told she's been in the neighborhood for years. She arrived in such sad condition. She's emaciated, dehydrated, terribly matted, horrible feet/toes. Plus, something has happened to her mouth. Her tongue looks like possibly it had something tight around it. It's very swollen and very sore. It's hard for her to swallow anything. She received fluids, antibiotics, soreness meds. The majority of her mats have been removed so she's missing much of her fur. She also had a mega-bath, complete with a full foot soak to help her toes. And do you know what she did the entire time? Purred and purred. This morning she is trying so hard to eat--the soreness meds will help. What a real sweetie.
Hard to believe, but it's time. It's only 115 days to Catathon! This event is our main Fun-Raiser of the year. This year it is on June 23, Sunday. We're starting to put together a list of baskets and big ticket items. But, if you have ideas, feel free to start sending in items. We are extremely grateful for your help. We have until May 21 to receive items for the Catathon. The reason is that it takes us time to organize the baskets and to get pictures and descriptions done for the website. We have already started receiving a few items. Such an exciting event for FFRC!
