Weds., April 22, 2020

It's chilly out there today!  Still wearing my winter coat to do the morning breakfast for the outside cats.  Brrrrrr. 

An extra special day!  Our Jessie is now 21 years old! She arrived here on 5/26/14 at 15 years old.  She's part Maine Coon. Her original mom had a health problem and could no longer care for her. Friends of ours knew her mom and FFRC and asked us to take her. I remember once talking to Jessie's original owner and she told me stories about Jessie who had been an outside cat in her younger years. She would bring "presents" to her mom, including a 3 foot long snake once.  Snake was released unharmed and Jessie was so proud! She's a happy girl.  Her Meow is attended to and gets what she needs! 

We had an adoption!
The third Siamese kitten went to her new home. Siamy left on 4/21!  I've already seen a picture on fb and all looks well!  The last two Siamese kittens will be leaving soon.

We took on a new cat--her name is Sylvia II. She was found by a friend of FFRC (and has adopted from us!). She obviously is pregnant. She's also a talker or I should say a part time hisser!  But her hisses don't mean anything. She loves people contact.  Sylvia arrived this past Sunday and made her way up to the Main Area this morning. Hopefully she will get comfortable before her babies are born.

Our other newbie cat who is really a kitten yet is Sweet Pete. He's doing wonderful and has made friends with everyone--people and cats. Sometimes when you talk to Sweet Pete, he falls right on over so he can get a bellyrub!  We have a possible home for him already! 

Do any of you remember our Jansen?  He was adopted in 2009. His family sent me a note--they love him and he melts his mama's heart! Such a lover cat. He will be 11 on May 25.

And here's another one. Remember Lara? Her mom wanted to let us know that she just celebrated her 13th birthday last week and is still a kitty at heart. They love her very much. Her name now is MissChief!
