We've had two more adoptions! That wonderful kitten Sweet Pete went to his new home yesterday. And he will have a great friend--Jondalar who was adopted from FFRC the end of Jan.  I have a feeling they will be rocking and rollin' the house! 

Zuri, one of the sister Siamese kittens also went to her new home! Zuri is a lavender point and has a wonderful new family! One more Siamese adoption left!

Update on Sylvia II.  She is with a friend of FFRC's who will take very good care of her.  Sylvia wanted outside every minute every day.  We could no longer be 100% sure of her staying inside as she was a whiz at slipping out the door.  Our friend has a gorgeous cat screened in porch that faces the woods. She can visit that porch anytime she wants and no doors to escape thru!  Eventually, FFRC will take the kittens! 

We took on a new young adult. Her name is Josette (a Name a Cat name). She's actually still a kitten--is 11 months old but soon will be a year old. Her birthday is 5/21/2019. She was found by a volunteer. Josette is a beautiful light torti. She has a sweet personality and seems to enjoy people and the other cats. I'm sure she will be up in the Main Area soon. Josette arrived 4/23. 

We've heard from the family that adopted Siamy. "She is doing great! The other kitties are coming around to her. They are very curious about the tiny little newcomer. Before long they'll be chasing each other around the house. She uses the litterbox on her own and has found the food and water too! Thank you so much for taking care of her until she could get home!"  

I've also heard from Alyssandra and Gyovannah's family again.  All is good. Both of the girls are happy and relaxed and enjoy their night time play sessions. 

We had BOXES yesterday! Want to say a special thanks to MK for being our Catetary!

We had a wonderful quickie Flash Sale on Weds.  This went towards our monthly bills.  We put up Pillows by Hatmaker and Crate Pads and Catnip Pads by Warped. We made $537 from the flash sale. We are so very thankful. Thanks to the Flashy Mods for their help!

It's officially spring weather (we hope!).  The clear plastic came off of the cat's sunporch. Plus the plastic guard for the Cove came off--it provided a wind shield for the door of THTJB. We do still have the heat lamps plugged in--it's still a bit chilly at night.

Coralie's incision is healing very nicely. Soon her sutures will be out.  
Mayor Anony had a date with the vet dentist this week.  He had 4 teeth removed. That night, he spent here in the front Thumper's Room but was glad to go back out to the Cove the next morning.  We have 4 other cats scheduled for their dentals in May. 

We have more THANKS to give:

The kittens of Basani and Kimmie have been having some fun in the mornings. Mamas are placed in a pen (for safety--those mama cats can be super protective!).  And the doors to their rooms are opened for the kittens to come out into the Main Area by themselves. They are so very cute and very active. And I just love this---when they are tired and ready for a nap, they know where their room is. They go back and snuggle in for a nap.  Door is shut and mamas are returned!  

Minnie and kittens are also doing well. They are so very round! A big sea of grey and white roly poly kittens! All are healthy. They are getting stronger on their legs. 

Please.....you all take very good care.  Come May, Ohio will slowly start doing a trickle of opening things up.  FFRC will not yet be open to the public until later in May. We are being careful, because of our volunteers.  We value their health.  Have a wonderful weekend.
