Tuesday, March 19, 2019

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring!  I saw robin today and the big maple in the front yard has nice big red buds! Spring is happening!

Yesterday was our HumaneOhio day. Always a good thing! We sent up 35 cats, which broke down to 26 females and 9 males. This brings our 2019 total to 266 cats--149 females and 117 males. 95% of the females yesterday were in heat. 

Today we continue our Fun-Raiser with 8 items.  Tomorrow it ends at 9 am.  BOXES will be at 3:00, with the fun-raiser right afterwards. plus we have some great consolation prizes! This Fun-Raiser will help us get caught up on some bills that mounted up. 

We had 4 adoptions this past Saturday!
Barin left first. He hitched a ride with Beth who met up with JustMe/Kathy. Kathy is now Barin's new mama. All is good there. Barin joined right into Kathy's cat family and is very happy and comfortable. A very good happening for Barin.

Abel left second. Abel has a new mama that was thrilled to adopt Abel. He was the only boy in the litter of 6 inky kittens. She planned his adoption so she would have a couple days home with him, acclimating to his new home.

Kabel left next. Kabel went into a home where Rill as adopted. I'm sure Rill and Kabel are rocking and rolling and full of energy! Kabel is one of the inky kittens.

Fabel was the last to leave, another inky kitten. She went into a home where there iare 2 other cats. And lots of people to hold her. 

Now we have 3 Abel Kittens left--Mabel, Sabel and Gable. 

Today all 8 of the kittens in the back Thumper's Room ate from the plate. Each day they get better and better at this! The 2 mama cats are so very kind. All kittens and mamas now spend 24/7 on the floor--no more going back into the Condo pens.

I've heard from Sinbad's new mom. The first day was a little strange for Sinbad and then he and Arlo made friends. They are now best buds. Jennifer sent me a video of Arlo grooming Sinbad and Sinbad so enjoyed the attention. From Jennifer: "My heart has just melted today over these boys of mine! I believe I made a great pick in Sinbad!"  So, all is great with sweet Sinbad. 

Mark your calendar. Next Tuesday, Mich and Vern will be here for a super Quickie Flash Sale!  It'll start about 2:30 ish.  Lots of great items--some never shown before! Come join the fun!

Tenzin is now in the Main Area. He's doing great. And he's so very soft. And agile with having 3 legs. He loves to be petted!  He's making friends.

Manville is very interesting. He is playing galore. At first, it seemed he wasn't sure how to play with the others. He's learning now though. Today he and Magic was having so much fun. His tail sutures will come out today. 

Morton is not adjusting very well inside.  He wants outside so so badly. We're still trying to figure out where his happy place is.

I've been asked about Pinto.  He is doing just fine as a Covie.  He most certainly is on the feral side--does not like people to be very close. He's making Covie friends and that's ok! He's eating good and knows where his comfy beds are! He's going to really enjoy the big playground area!

We had BOXES on Sunday. I'd like to say a big thanks to Mudjie for being our Catetary!

We are so excited about Catahon! It's only 96 days away! A couple times a week, for right now, we go out and organize the baskets and all the items. We are so very grateful for all you do for us here at FFRC.

Mowgli is still eating away! Lucie still bosses me in the morning when she's ready to go to the desk to help. Hensley still tells us 10 times a day he wants some of his special hugs. Vernie still tells us when he wants his uppies. Pania still meows (loudly) when she wants her Pania Flakes!  Life is normal!
