Tuesday, June 11,19

12 days to Catathon! Oh my! Our Catathon facebook Auction is on right now but is done at noon.  Starting Sunday is the beginning of our Catathon Fun-Raiser. It is over at noon on the 19th.  We have the big 55' TV with sound board reserved for the shelter house so visitors and volunteers and view the Catathon.  Today we will call Arthur phone company and make sure all will be ready for placing the 7 phone lines in.  Pre-Registration is still going on--will be over on the 20th. 

In addition to this, this coming Saturday is our FFRC surgery date. All slots are filled with FFRC spays/neuters. That following Monday, June 17 is another HumaneOhio day.  

Extra busy days right now in preparation of surgeries and Catathon. Plus, most importantly, is the care of the cats and kittens.  RIght now, the doors are open and the kittens are free roaming from the back to the front.  Mama Kayala has decided she's pretty much done nursing the kittens. She spent last night in the Main Area instead of where the smaller kittens are.  

We took in 3 new kittens, all separately. 
Ginga, (pronounced Gin-ja), female, slate gray, 10 weeks old. Her birthday is 4/1/19. She arrived yesterday.  A friend of a volunteer found her all by herself. Appears in fairly good health.

Claire, female, long hair, muted torti, 7 weeks old. Her birthday is 4/29/19. She arrived after being found by herself too, by one of our mod family. She has a slight URI, fleas and earmites.  Earmites are already being worked on. She's on antibiotics for her kitty cold and the fleas are already gone. 
Both of the above are names from Name A Cat list.

Hope, female, looks like a Himalayan.  Emaciated/dehydrated. Only weighs 10 ounces.  Today she weighs 10.10 ounces--a tiny tiny gain, but every little bit is good.  She is being syringe fed often. She arrived with a URI, both eyes pasted shut and bone thin. Hope was found alongside a road, in a ditch.  She's very "fragile" right now but she has a good spirit about her and seems to be a toughie.

The Double J kittens are doing great.  They are eating good now and have rounder tummies. Won't be long until they join the bunch on the floor.  These 3 kittens are very sweet and will add alot of fun to the group.  

We had BOXES yesterday! We are very grateful!  The word got out that we were extremely low on baby food meat. You heard and you sent baby food!!!  We are so very thankful!

This past weekend was the Dance Studio Recital.  As in many years past, FFRC has managed the concessions as a fund-raiser. This year, we had a bonus from Shoney's! They donated all the ice we needed, napkins, plates and volunteer help! They also provided shirts for the volunteers that worked it! Many thanks to Elizabeth who organized this event for FFRC. Thanks also to: Bill & Angie L, Edna/Gem, Peggy S, Faithy, Becky M, Patrick, Vicki and Matt.  The Shoney volunteers were Dominic, Aubrey and Erica. Corey B (from Shoney's) brought two large coolers of ice for each time period (4). Big thanks to Jo Ann H (from Shoney's) who facilitated all of this help and donations.  

This Concessions as able to raise $1198.08 for FFRC.  And......we had a bump-up of $51.92 which made our profit $1,200!!  We are very grateful for this.  This money will go towards a new batch of vaccines that we need to order--distemper, bordetella and leukemia!  Great news and lots of great effort. 

All I can say is we have an awesome FFRCNation!
