Tico and Taco have found their forever home! They are now with Painteddaisy and hubby. Many thanks to Gem and her nephew for driving them half way to meet them. They have went from initially to being quiet here to silly fun cats these last couple weeks. I wondered if they would be shy at first with Painted, but nope! She talked to them most of the way home and slept with them the first night. They are bonded to her. And both are enjoying their new home and loving the windows and all of the attention! Two great adoptions!
Muddles is now doing wonderful. He's running, playing, acting like a kitten with endless energy! His appetite is good. He is fully recovered!
There for quite some time, the kittens were mostly playing around Paddy's Place area. Now, they are in every room, acting like crazy kittens. That palm tree in the Kitty Kabana is taking a beating--saw 4 kittens on it at one time today.
Monday was HumaneOhio Day. I always love these days! A lot of work but........just think how many cats and kittens are reached by these events! We sent up 40 cats this time. This broke down to 24 females and 16 males. Two of those females are FFRC kittens--Marti and ChloeBear. Our safety system for check ins and check outs seem to be working smoothly. Many thanks to Lynnette, Gem and Becky M for your help. Something I think is pretty neat of HumaneOhio. As you would guess, they feel strongly about spaying and neutering. To help them catch up from being off due to the coronavirus for a couple months, they have been working 7 days a week. I believe, they are now doing 6 days a week--all in trying to help with the overpopulation problem.
This Saturday is our next FFRC surgery day. We won't know exactly which kittens we will have spayed/neutered until Friday, when we re-weigh them. We would also like to get more physicals done.
We have thanks to give! YOU are so appreciated!

We've taken on a few more kittens---2 seperate litters and 2 individuals
Sky--female, orange tiger weight 16 ounces, birthdate 5/15/20
Silvy--female, grey/white, weight 1.03
Ecee (s-c) Rose---female, muted calico, weight 1.03
Ralphie--male, beige, weight 1.15, birthdate 4/25/20
Raphael--male, white & Buff, weight 2.02
Roxi--female, torti, weight 1.15
Bluster--female, black long hair, 14 ounces, birthdate 5/11/20
Mr. Fluffypants--male, white long hair, weight 2.07, birthdate 4/10/20
Names are all from Name a Cat list. All kittens are in the back Thumper's Room--in the top and bottom condo. Between all of these kittens, we have a few issues--fungus, lice, fleas and 1 being frail (Bluster). But, all issues are being addressed and attended to. Our goal is to have them all in the Kitty Campus Room on Friday. We will need to use all condo space on Saturday for surgeries.
We also finally trapped a cat we've been working on for a couple weeks. Presto....finally, he went into a trap. He's been hanging around here--we told him he was welcome but he MUST be neutered. So....he finally went into the trap! He's been neutered, vaccinated, flea prevention applied, wormed and checked. He is back out now on the farmyard. We call him a Porchie. His name is Zippy, a brown tiger. His birthday is 6/5/19.
Sylvan was suppose to have had a dental yesterday but the second he saw the crate, zoooom, he was gone. So, I started looking at other cats teeth and picked Frank to go up. Thanks to Martha and Larry for transporting him up and back. Frank is only 2 1/2 years old but his poor teeth were awful. That's why x-rays at the time of a dental are so important--tell more of a story of how the teeth are. He had 15 removed. The back of his mouth was very swollen. Remember the trouble we had with Lucas? So did Dr. Darcy, so she put a feeding tube in Frankie. He's down on the floor of the front Thumper's Room. His main "job" is rubbing and rubbing and rubbing on our legs! He's such a great boy. He took his breakfast and lunch via the feeding tube like a pro. Hoping that will be out within a week. He's on antibiotics and soreness meds.
Take care! Tomorrow is a busy day. We have a Flash Sale plus families coming in to look at the kittens for possible adoptions.

Do you know how big our thank you is? It's very huge, it's giant, it's magnificently BIG. We are grateful for your help. YOU truly do make a difference for this Rescue Center!
We've had a few more adoptions!
Basani & Kimmie were adopted together on 6/11. They went into a big house with a side porch that overlooks their woods. They feed the wildlife and so that will mean some fun watching for these two girls. I've already heard from the lady who adopted them--all 3 of them are enjoying themselves together!
Dreamy was adopted on 6/11. I've already seen a picture of her--she looks very happy. Taking a nap after much exploring! Such a beauty. She is one of Basani's kittens.
We are starting to make appointments to look at kittens, for the next round of adoptions! Otis and Arch were put on holds yesterday.
Tomorrow, Sunday, our 2 T-boys leave us--Taco and Tico. Thanks to Gem and her family for offering to make the trip to meet their new mama--June/painteddaisy! June and her hubby will meet Gem for the passing over of the boys. These two boys have come a long way. They are so very sweet. They love to roll in catnip, to carry pipecleaners around and to have their backs scratched. They will travel together in a big comfortable carrier. They will be missed.
Monday is a busy day here at FFRC (but......they all seem very busy!).
5:15 to 6 am--check in for HumaneOhio
Sylvan has to go to the vet's office for his dental.
We had a Flash Sale on Weds. It was all about Biggeydews and Bowl Holders. This Sale brought in $285. Many thanks! It truly takes a group effort to make these Flash Sales work!

As you may know, our little Muddles had been quite sick earlier this week. Between many treatments, he is finally improving. And sweet URI kept him company during much of the time he was in a condo, resting. Muddles is now doing much better, is stronger and is back in the main area, under watchful eyes.
The kittens are all doing wonderful. They can zoom with speediness, purr in high volume, eat like a tiger, sleep like a log, play as only a kitten can. And then they do it all over again! They are a healthy lot!
The cats have asked me to send this message out from them---"Thank you for everything you have done and know that you are loved by all of us".
I've said this before, but it bears a repeat! We have a sign here at FFRC--it says: "This Rescue Center is a Place of Joy! Please....only bring peace, friendship and a good heart in our Rescue Center. Derecho and the other residents came up with this. And the reason........this is how we should approach so many things in life.
You all take good care, have a great weekend and stay healthy!

Here a Flacr! There a Flacr! We have lots of Flacrs! What started out as a Friday fundraiser event, went from Thursday afternoon to just now, Sunday early morning. I think I'm caught up! You all kept me hopping busy on the computer--all good things as it meant lots of response!
I was blown away by the totals. We ended up doing 10 rounds. The first round was Friday at 6:30 am. We had 7 rounds on Friday. Then we did 3 rounds on Sunday, the last being at 4:30 pm. Just this morning though, we've got the final paypals and notes and believe we are totally caught up!
Sit down.......your feet will come out from under you with this total! Here's the seperate round totalss:
Round 1: $5,140
Round 2: $6,585.75
Round 3: $7,270.75
Round 4: $8,300.75
Round 5: $10,038.99
Round 6: $11,809.74
Round 7: $13,216.43
Round 8: $15,532.42
Round 9: $16,932.82
Round 10: $21,502.00
And then.........we had bumper uppers, coins tossed in and a challenge of a cartwheel challenge too!
All together now, our GRAND TOTAL is: $21,859.83.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! I never expected that. You know, how you hope and wish? I was hoping we could get $5,000 from this fundraiser. You all blew that apart in the very first Round!
I am so extremely appreciative. I have learned once again......never ever underestimate the FFRCNation! You folks are the most kindest, most compassionate, most supportive group I hae ever met. And I thank you for this very wonderful event.
Our big Liability Insurance bill will be paid. Our vet bill will be paid. We have some repairs and maintenance things to do that we have put off--we will get a few of those done. And then, a little bit will be tucked away for an extreme emergency. A padding. A nest egg. And it won't be touched except if truly needed.
I thank you all for your support. I thank you for your kindness, your words of encouragement. I thank you for your gifts that keep FFRC going. I thank you for your confidence in us. I thank you for the hope you instill in us. Thank you for letting me lean on you. And very much.....thank you for your
One of our newest kittens, Otis is doing great. He's up in the Main Area and immediately made friends. I think he's covered at least 100 miles so far--he loves to run and play!
We also took on a new kitten! Her name is CHloe Bear, a Name a Cat name. She is a gold tiger/white kitten, weighing 1.08. She is 6 weeks old and was born on 4/23/20. She arrived 6/4. She is a tad bit shy but is making friends. I just KNOW there's a purr in there for us to hear soon!
Take care to you all. Know that you are appreciated. Wishing you a relaxing wonderful Sunday.

Tomorrow is Fiver FLACR Friday. Being a FLACR simply means you can donate a fiver (or more) to help FFRC! We have lost many fund-raisers due to the Coronavirus.
Fivers ($5) add up and will be a super bonus help to us! Or even a Oner!
Flacr stands for:
F--FUN-RAISER--so far we have cancelled 4 of these--March, April, May and June.
L--LILAC--the Defiance Lilac Festival in May was cancelled. We use that event as a PR and a fund-raiser
A--ART--One of our volunteers was going to hold a BIG art class, here at FFRC, cancelled
C--CATATHON--sadly, there was no way we could hold this event. 1) asking people to donate items for Catathon--too much financial stress already on our friends. 2) there was no way we could get this planned and hold this event while trying to keep safe and healthy.
R--RECITAL--our June Dance Concession Recital was cancelled. This was always a fund-raiser for FFRC.
So, there you have it. FLACR simply stands for all the fund-raisers we have had to cancel.
Please know I do not expect this Fiver to cover all of these cancelled fund-raisers. There's simply no way and I would never ever expect that. If we can recoup even some of the funds, that will be enough to be thankful for.
Then Friday----let the Fivers begin! I will, approximately every 2 hours give updates. And we'll show these on the chart. We will also put any donors names on cards that will go onto a rope "thingy" that LJ is working on, so all can see.
Oh--big news! Anyone who donates $50 or more, will have their name put into a bin. The winning name drawn will receive a BSIMB Digital Picture Frame, upgraded Digital Photo frame 8".
Plus, we will do 8 random drawings of whatever names we have at that time. We will send those 8 people a gift from FFRC! Pretty neat stuff!
We'll also have a bit of storytime on Friday. And of course, the cats and kittens have been bathing, napping to look rested, practicing their purrs--they heard that we will have some kitty/cat parades too during the event on Friday!
Be a FLACR for FFRC! We have had some vet appointments and many FFRC spays/neuters that this FIVER will help with. We have also put off some of our maintenance and repair. I don't like to get too far behind on that as it then piles up on us.
We had BOXES yesterday and we are very thankful!

We had 3 more adoptions!
Tango was adopted on 6 /1. Tango went into his new home where he is the only cat--going to be super loved by his new mom and dad! Tango is a Minnie kitten.
Toolie was adopted 6/1. He went into a home with 2 other cats. Tollie arrived here with his sister Taffeta who is already adopted.
Davena was adopted 6/2. She went into a home where her new mama has been waiting for her and has her whole home set up for a kitten! Davena is a Minnie kitten.
We also took on a new kitten. He had been found in a yard. A home was thought to be had but it didn't work out, so he came to FFRC. His name is Otis, a Name a Cat name. He's a brown tiger and white and has a cute white tip tail! He's 6 1/2 weeks old with a birthday of 4/19/20. He arrived on 6/3. Since he was in a home already, we hurried his quarantine time so he could have some play friends. Otis came up to the main area this morning and has been running non-stop, playing and jumping and racing around. A real sweet boy.
Thanks to everyone for what you do for FFRC. Each and everyone of you are important to FFRC--you make a HUGE difference to the lives of the cats. For that, I am grateful. As always, I promise to always do my very best for FFRC--to withhold the goodness of what we stand for, to help each cat and kitten know that their lives matter.
On to being a FLACR!!

Monday, June 1, 2020
The first day of June--time simply goes too fast. Time for us all to put the brakes on and enjoy each and every day! Lots of catching up to do here!
Saturday was our FFRC surgery day. Many thanks to Dr. Darcy, Amber, Lynnette and Becky M for helping. ALl went fine--just a lot of little kittens!
The spays were: Carolina, Dreamy, Jenga, Taffeta, Minnie, Leeta, Gypsy and Davena.
The neuters were: Perseus, Toolie, URI, Arvo, Tango, Vasil and Raseus
Uri provided some fun entertainment. Minnie even comforted the kittens the whole day, even when she was in recovery. Perseus got an A+ from Dr. Darcy--his rear leg with the 2 fractures appear to be healing nicely! Uri is fine just like he is--no matter his legs are splayed a bit--there is nothing he can't do if he wants to! All the physicals were good.
This makes our total 2020 surgery count at 414. I know we are behind what we were hoping for, for this time of year.........but the Coronavirus got in the way. So far, we've done 233 females and 181 males. A total of 414, plus 1 dog!
Taco and Tico also received their physicals. Both passed with flying colors. We did their rabies vaccine since they will be going to a different state. It was announced the other day on chat--the good news of where they will be living! Their new home will be with our good friend Painteddaisy! I am so happy for her. Taco and Tico are our two brothers, known as the T Boys--both are Ragamuffins. Black and white, striking facial looks. Tico has a bit of curled ears too. They have just turned 1 and are in good health and have been well loved. I personally know where they came from--a great home but life changes sometimes and that makes for a different home. We will be making plans soon on transporting the boys half way to Painteddaisy!
Lucas is now back in the Cove and is doing great! That was a bit of recovery for him. He gets chicken and special treats. I think he's playing this now for all he can get......which is absolutely ok with us!
Azreal has become a Covie. My initial plan was to take her down a few times to get use to the Covie life. But......no, that didn't happen. She was running, playing, climbing, having an absolutely good time. She went, she stayed and she loves it!
Many thanks to you all for helping us with our Flash Sale that was Thursday! We appreciate you! And thanks too to the Flashy Mods for your help. And to Joni for providing the cat tiles. Also to Donnajb for the canvas cat pictures! She not only provided the canvas pictures but she took each of those pictures! The Flash Sale brought in $759 (includes bump ups!)
Did you know that if you go thru our website at fofrescue.org and click on Amazon to make any orders, that FFRC gets a kick back on your purchases, whether it's for a personal use or for FFRC?! We just received an amount of $186.27--that's like free money! Easy to do and much appreciated!
Keefer is doing much better with his rear legs. Dr. Darcy does feel that this possibly may be from an injury that caused a bit of neurological malfunction of those rear legs. Plus, he was emaciated upon arrival. He keeps eating, sleeping and getting stronger! He can now run and play and loves to be loved on. His back legs are not 100% yet but definitely so much improved.
Muddles too was looked at by Dr. Darcy. She feels his rear legs too is from an injury. He certainly is doing better also. Both legs getting stronger. He plays a lot and then he's out for a nap!
We've taken in 5 new kittens.
Shaz arrived on 5/28. He's a 1.06 male kitten, orange tiger with white feet. He's 6 weeks old. He was simply found outside with 2 siblings which were already placed in homes. His birthday is 4/16/20. He's a cutie and is really enjoying the chin rubs.
4 kittens arrived together on 5/26. They are 3 1/2 weeks old, weighing between 10 to 13 ounces--just itty babies. We syringe fed them for a couple days but then they took right off onto their foods. They love gruel! Their birthday is 5/2/20. They were found in a box in a garage. Mama never came back after depositing the last kitten.
Aura--grey tiger, female
Arch--dark grey, ASH, male
Cassiopeia--gold/white, female
Chico--gold/more white, male
All names are from the Name a Cat list. Shaz and the other 4 kittens have become great friends already.

Azreal has become a Covie. My initial plan was to take her down a few times to get use to the Covie life. But......no, that didn't happen. She was running, playing, climbing, having an absolutely good time. She went, she stayed and she loves it!
Many thanks to you all for helping us with our Flash Sale that was Thursday! We appreciate you! And thanks too to the Flashy Mods for your help. And to Joni for providing the cat tiles. Also to Donnajb for the canvas cat pictures! She not only provided the canvas pictures but she took each of those pictures! The Flash Sale brought in $759 (includes bump ups!)
Did you know that if you go thru our website at fofrescue.org and click on Amazon to make any orders, that FFRC gets a kick back on your purchases, whether it's for a personal use or for FFRC?! We just received an amount of $186.27--that's like free money! Easy to do and much appreciated!
Keefer is doing much better with his rear legs. Dr. Darcy does feel that this possibly may be from an injury that caused a bit of neurological malfunction of those rear legs. Plus, he was emaciated upon arrival. He keeps eating, sleeping and getting stronger! He can now run and play and loves to be loved on. His back legs are not 100% yet but definitely so much improved.
Muddles too was looked at by Dr. Darcy. She feels his rear legs too is from an injury. He certainly is doing better also. Both legs getting stronger. He plays a lot and then he's out for a nap!
We've taken in 5 new kittens.
Shaz arrived on 5/28. He's a 1.06 male kitten, orange tiger with white feet. He's 6 weeks old. He was simply found outside with 2 siblings which were already placed in homes. His birthday is 4/16/20. He's a cutie and is really enjoying the chin rubs.
4 kittens arrived together on 5/26. They are 3 1/2 weeks old, weighing between 10 to 13 ounces--just itty babies. We syringe fed them for a couple days but then they took right off onto their foods. They love gruel! Their birthday is 5/2/20. They were found in a box in a garage. Mama never came back after depositing the last kitten.
Aura--grey tiger, female
Arch--dark grey, ASH, male
Cassiopeia--gold/white, female
Chico--gold/more white, male
All names are from the Name a Cat list. Shaz and the other 4 kittens have become great friends already.
Because of being so busy, I've gotten behind on the blog. We have lots of thank yous to give!

Yesterday, Sunday, we had SEVEN adoptions!
Basil and Arlor--went to their new home together--brothers from Minnie
Rascus--went into a home where he is the solo pet--lots of lap time!
Jenga--went into a home where she too is the solo pet--she will have a mom home 24/7!
Taffeta & Rezzy--went into a new home together--both of these kittens were abandoned
Gypsy--adopted into a home with lots of tlc, kitten of Minnie
I'm so thankful for these above new homes--each kitten was placed where there will be lots of attention and care. Most of these kittens have been on hold for a bit of time--now they have their very own home!
More adoptions today--Monday!

Happy Memorial Day. Let freedom ring. Memorial Day is an Americn holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Many thanks too to those who have served for our freedom.
We've had 6 more adoptions!
Dalia--adopted 5/21. A Basani kitten. She was adopted into a home with 2 other cats!
Navara & Pepper--adopted 5/21. Kittens of Kimmie. They were adopted into a home where they are the only pets.
Temba--adopted 5/22--a 7 yr. old cat. Went into a home where a young lady is her new mama!
Beulah & Celeste--adopted 5/22. Kittens that were brought by the Sheriff's.
I'm thrilled with these new homes and feel very happy with each of them. I've heard back from some of the families already and all seem to be acclimating well to their new homes.
We took in two new kittens--both very small, both with leg problems. (what is it with legs this year?)
Keefer--arrived 5/22, was found outside by self. 4 weeks old, weights 12 ounces, birthdate of 4/24/20. He is a long hair gold/white kitten. His rear legs, I believe, received an injury. That and with his emaciated state, he couldn't keep his legs under him--they kept toppling. He received fluids but when the food came........he couldn't eat it fast enough. The poor boy was so very hungry. Today, he has just a slight toppling of his rear legs. He is much stronger, has already gained a couple ounces and is climbing and running. A real sweetie.
Muddles--arrived 5/22--was also found by himself, 4 1/2 weeks old, 1.03 weight, birthdate of 4/20/20. He is a short hair black/whitekitten. His left rear leg is sore--has received an injury. It certainly isn't stopping him as he is playing and roughhousing with the other kittens. He too was very hungry and he went right into the food plate to eat. Another sweetie kitten.
Xibowa is doing great--he's already has gained 5 ounces and so loves playing with the other kittens. There's no stopping Uri--he is a little firrecracker--zooming here and jumping there. Perseus is also improving day by day. I watched him today and he was running with barely a limp. In all the kitten activity play, he's almost always in the middle of it!
Lucas is doing better! Eating just enough so he doesn't have to have a feeding tube placed! Today he will be in the front Thumper's Room for a bit of exercise. I'm sure he's starting to miss his Covie friends--it's been a week now since his dental. We need him eating a little bit more volume before he goes back to the Cove.
We have thanks to give! We are grateful----
Twkitty--donation in memory of her Auntie Mae, who passed at 100 years of age. She has a cat named Ebony who survives.
Candace A--donation to help with our utility bills!
Steph & Trevor--donation in honor of super mom cat Minnie
Janet K--donation for the ffrc kitties
Kelly L--donation for FFRC
Gusti--donation for sweet Lucas's vet bill
Marti W--donation for FFRC
Stanley E--donation to FFRC, in memory of Pauline/deptford
Cheryl L--donation to FFRC, in memory of Pauline/deptford
Yes, our dear friend Pauline has passed away. Her daughter let FFRC know. While very sad for this loss, her daughter wishes FFRC peace with this. Pauline has made such beautiful glassworks and donated so much of her work to FFRC. Treasure those Christmas trees, the stars, the cats , etc that she made--all done with love by her.
Many thanks for helping us with our flash sale--this one was made up of many individual items that were donated by our FFRC friends. Thanks to the flash mods for helping us with this. This Flash Sale brought in $611 and will be applied to our quarterly taxes. Big time thanks!
We still are making masks for anyone who needs them! I believe LJ has now made a bit over a thousand of these masks. They are very well made--2 layers of material with an interfacing in the middle. They are pleated, have a wire that goes over the nose to hold in place. We have them in women and men's sizes. The cost---a freewill donation to FFRC. You can email me if sending a check to let me know what you need--male or female. If using PayPal, simply go to paypal and send with a note as to your wishes. If you have a favorite color, let me know--we try to match things up. Sometimes we can, sometimes we can't! LJ firmly believes that if you want a mask, we need to send TWO--one to wear, one to wash. These masks can simply be washed in a sink with soak/water, rinsed well and hang up to dry. Thank you!
We had BOXES on Friday! We appreciate you all and for helping us. We are doubly grateful, during this coronavirus time, that you help us.
Preakness -- Fordite necklace "Ramsay" --such a kind gift

Derecho.......what an amazing cat he is. You know, he's kind to all of the cats and the kittens. He is their Uncle D that teaches the kittens their manners. This morning I saw the sweetest thing ever. There's Derecho in the Purple Office--he had most of the younguns with him. They were huddled around him, listening to him.. He was talking about the power of saying nice things, the power of doing kind things, the beauty of friendships.
You see, our kittens learn so much from the adults here. They learn polite play ways from the other kittens. But, so important, they learn how to grow up to be very nice cats.
He told the kittens that kindness makes them purr and that in itself makes humans smile. He told them that kindness is a remedy for the heart. It opens the door to new friendships and possibly their forever home. Being a sweet kitten gives them a kind identity. Plus, kindness comes back to them--they should share their catnip, share their sleeping blankets, share their snackers. It's all in the sake of friendship and just being kind.

Thursday, May 21, 2020
When this Coronavirus first started and we had to close, I thought we would have lots of extra time to do different things here. Well, things have actually been super busy, every single week, every single day. And yes, we do indeed have to do things differently---maybe that is why each week is so busy. Everyday has been full, it seems.
We had 2 adoptions yesterday.
Marin--kitten of Kimmie. Went to her new home and will be friends with an old, gentle giant of a dog. She now has her very own mama!
Lynnie--kitten of Kimmie. Went to her new home with a dad, mom and a little boy (grandsom to parents). Lynnie was the first of the 8 kittens to have a hold put on her.
Here is an email from Lynnie:
Dear Mama Jacci, Thank you for rescuing me, loving on me, helping me grow up and find a home.
I know some of you have been concerned with the major rain we got three days ago. Probably the most rain I've ever seen at one time here in Defiance. Yes, our rivers are flooded. But we are not flooded here at FFRC, even though the river is right across our road and the backwater is behind us. But, the farmyard was underwater for a full day. The ducks and geese loved it! But, we are dry here inside FFRC.

Dear Mama Jacci, Thank you for rescuing me, loving on me, helping me grow up and find a home.
I am so happy! I enjoyed my car ride to Fort Wayne and didn’t cry at all. I just watched my new parents and then fell asleep on my purple mama. When I got to my new home it was like Christmas! So many new toys and a nice little boy too...he’s their grandson. I used the litter box right away (and did both jobs) ate a little dinner then play, play, play! Soon it was time to go upstairs to get ready for bed...I was tired! The little boy had been nice to me so I crawled up in his lap and gave him my first purr. He was so happy! He then read me a book until I fell asleep.
When I woke up about an hour later, he wasn’t there so I went looking for my mom. She was right there sleeping on the floor! I snuggled up to her chin, turned on my purr box and slept the rest of the night with her. I didn’t cry at all...probably because I know I am loved lots here!
Thank you mama Jacci for finding me the perfect home...I love you!
Love, Lynnie
THIS is what it's all about and what our gift is to each and every cat and kitten that comes to FFRC--their very own home.
Yesterday was also Visitation Day--designed for people to have a certain time slot to come and see the available kittens. We put those kittens in the back Thumper's Room. Each family is allowed an hour to visit. By the end of the day, we had 4 more cats on hold---Tooley, Rascus, Jenga and Temba.
Temba will leave Friday morning around 9:00 am.
The other 3 kittens have to be spayed/neutered before their adoption can take place.
We have another VIsitation Day on Friday--2 more families coming in the morning to visit.
We also took on another kitten yesterday. And she had to have a beautiful name. The reason is because she was crying and a very nice couple found her---in a trash container. She is most certainly NOT trash. Her name is Xibowa which means flower. It's pronounced Shi BOW uh.
Xibowa is all black except for a white tummy. She weighs 14 ounces. Her birthday is 4/18/20, making her 4 1/2 weeks old. This morning, I had to draw blood for her leukemia/fiv/heartworm test. And she was crying. That dear sweet Minnie jumped up on the counter and tried to take her away from me. Minnie---an absolute gem of a mama. As soon as I was done, I gave Xibowa to Minnie to be comforted. She snugged up to Minnie's tummy. If there's anyone out there that doesn't believe cats have feelings, they should have witnessed that.
Today is a Flash Sale at 11:00--there's many individual items! This sale will help us with our utility bills (yes, still need to work on these). Also today at 1:00 is our Thursday Trivia.
We have some thanks to give!

On Monday, Lucas had his dental. Lucas is a Covie. This turned into a major deal with him--2 1/2 hours. He was thought to have aspirated but not 100% sure. X-rays had to be done and lab work. His heart also seems quite big. Will do a blood test for cardiomyopathy. All of his meds have had to be given by injection as he doesn't want anything in his mouth. He's been given SQ fluids twice a day. Just this morning though he licked up his breakfast! So, hoping today forward are all good days now. I'm sure he's anxious to get back out with his Covie friends.
Tonio's Den. I've been asked to pass on his story as it's been awhile since it's been said. Tonio's Den is part of our towel cabinet, under the countertop that we prepare food at.
"To know about Tonio's Den you first must know about Tonio. Tonio was an awesome cat. He arrived at FFRC when he was 12 years old. The people who were his family said their vet told them that he had diabetes and they just didn't want to deal with it. This wonderful soul was handed over without as much as a hug. We named him Tonio. He was part Siamese with gorgeous blue eyes. He was a gentle boy. He liked everyone, never fussed at anyone, just wanted to be loved. The odd thing is, he never showed a single sign of having diabetes and was never treated for it here at FFRC. Tonio was good to everyone--cats, kittens, dogs and people. He just enjoyed being alive and knowing he was loved. His absolute favorite place to sleep was in the cabinet under the counter. This is where the towels were stored and it was always good for a comfy sleep. He learned how the doors would open very easily. Soon the other cats and kittens figured it out too. Many times there would be a pile of cats sleeping away in what we now call Tonio's Den. One year, we were able to get new cabinets and we decided the far right door still had to have Tonio's Den painted on it. The kittens and cats have learned how to open these cupboard doors too. There came a time that Tonio slowed up and it was in the fall of 2010, after being with us for 4 years. By now he was 16 years old. It was time to say goodbye to this good old boy. Some of us circled him physically and with love, he was allowed to pass to kitty heaven. This boy was missed tremendously and we still think of him fondly. A truly gentle boy."
And those towel cabinets still continue to be a sleep zone for some of the cats! No worries---they cannot get locked inside them. There's no latches or hooks. It just takes a pull with a claw to open and a push with a paw to go back out!
I know some of you have been concerned with the major rain we got three days ago. Probably the most rain I've ever seen at one time here in Defiance. Yes, our rivers are flooded. But we are not flooded here at FFRC, even though the river is right across our road and the backwater is behind us. But, the farmyard was underwater for a full day. The ducks and geese loved it! But, we are dry here inside FFRC.
Thanks to you all for being a part of this Rescue Center. Take good care and stay healthy. BOXES are Friday at 1:00. See you at our Flash Sale today at 11:00!
