Three more adoptions!  I so love these wonderful homes!
Lizzie--adopted 12/3.  This was an especially happy adoption. She belonged to a friend of mine who could no longer care for her. She found a home with a man who wants nothing more than to dote on her forever!

LuLu and Tingle--adopted 12/4. These two friends were adopted together. They went with a lady who has lots of time to devote to these two kittens. What alot of fun they will be for her!

The doors are all wide open this morning--front to back!  Basani, Desmond and Donell are already up and playing.  Basani is still not 100% and continues to recover from his HBC.  At the moment, he is cuddled up to Derecho and napping. Desmond and Donell are too busy playing with everyone.  Won't be long until Kimmie joins them!

Our volunteer Elizabeth came to the rescue of a cat that we have taken on.  She was told there was a cat in a bag in the town area.  The cat got out of the bag and went into hiding under some pallets.  Angie came then to help Elizabeth and Debbie was on her way to help too, when we received word that the cat was caught!  Why would anyone even think of tying a cat inside a bag?  No matter--that is something that person will have to deal with him/herself. 

This cat was brought here to FFRC last night. Wow, what a beauty and what a sweetie. She is a Snowshoe Lynx Siamese. She's also spayed (with an ear tip), full of fleas and worms, missing some incisors and is in need of a dental.  The fleas are gone. Worming protocol has been started. A bubble bath has done wonders cleaning her fur and skin. She cannot get enough petting and purrs so nicely.  Her name is Cashew, a Name a Cat name.  No age yet, but a full adult.

TWO more days till Kitty Christmas!  We are all so very excited, thrilled and simply cannot hardly wait for this most special day.  A day of Christmas for all the kitties and cats that will help us for some time to come! The cats have been brushing up on their Christmas songs! 

Yesterday we had our Flash Sale. Many thanks and thumbs up to our mods, donators of these items, chatters who purchased these items, Lynnette and Marcia and to those that tried to purchase but didn't get that opportunity.  We sure do appreciate you all.  Your items will be out the door asap!  And the other good news on this---this Flash Sale brought in $1,168.  Almost exactly the amount needed to pay for a batch of flea prevention we just purchased!!

Friendship......it's a wonderful thing. And there's all types of friendships. But all in all, it fills a void in us..........it helps us to be able to share with others, to confine in another, to know that you are "safe" with that person, it makes us feel that we have worth, helps us cope with traumas in our lives.  A friend can inspire us to live up to our best. A friend won't ask you to compromise your principles and will still care for you regardless of a difference of opinion.  I am grateful for YOUR friendship to all of us here at FFRC and for being a friend also to the organization. Friendship should be a solid thing--to be able to be yourself, to forgive and to appreciate that role in each other's lives.

And the cats............they are amazing!  They also have friendships with each other!  Sometimes they are awesome examples to follow. 

Take care, have a great day.  Short blog due to a busy day.
