Our Jessie is now 20 years old!  She arrived here when she was 15 years old. Friends of ours knew her original mama and she could no longer care for her. So, to FFRC she came! Jessie was fed yesterday, anytime she meowed (she has that deep craggly meow). But then, that happens everyday for Jessie! She is our oldest cat at FFRC. 

We just heard from Victoria's new owner. They love her (of course!).  She is doing wonderful!

We had another adoption!  Citrine was adopted. She went to her new home on 4/20. I heard back from them last night and all is well.  She loves the bay windows and chatters at the birds at the feeders. She seems relaxed and spreads out on the couch for her naps!

Mowgli--what a champ.  She is getting a whole can of A/D each day with plenty of water too.  She's absolutely perfect for her tube feedings. Lays in her bed like a good little girl and barely moves for them. She even recognizes her cup of yummy food.

We had BOXES yesterday.  I am so very grateful to you.

Forgive me if the above isn't exactly my normal.  I didn't get a chance to go over it.

I  had started this blog earlier and was going to say that Farrah had had an episode Saturday and Monday, yesterday.  And that today was a good day for her. And that she was a good girl and took her meds this morning. And that her episodes was not clot related but due to her CHF.  The fluid in her lungs and heart. But that we felt good that we had it a bit more under control as the cardiologist wanted us to double her lasix which would help.

But..... then she had another episode this afternoon.  Our dear sweet Farrah is gone.  This was just too much for her heart and lungs and I will miss her terribly. Thank you all for loving her too. My heart is heavy with this loss. Just hug your cats and pets and remember to tell them they make you happy.
