What a crazy week. Monday was very hard. We had a big leak in the Kitty Kabana. Haven't had this happen for a long time. We will be calling in for the repair of this when the weather is better. On Monday it poured and poured and poured some more. And the wind.....very strong. Our electric power went out for about 4 1/2 hours. Our Jenna (generator) kicked in right away, but then went down 2 hours of use. We called the company and they got it set up to start again, but by that time, the electric had come back on. They were here yesterday to service Jenna again and to figure out the problem. We think we know what happened so that shouldn't be a problem again. The farmyard was very wet--water standing all over. We got the drain unplugged so it was able to drain into the system that goes into the river.The river is up but no worries about flooding. Whew---what a day Monday was.
Cleo is perfectly happy now being in the Main Area. So is Abe. They both are content. Such good cats! Byron is all over the place. He's been going on all of the cat walks, really enjoying the views! Cecil is right now climbing 2 sets of Kuranda Towers--he's been on probably 12 of the "steps" and sure is doing a good job! Bella loves her poofs still. We've been putting a poof inside the Froggy Pool and it keeps it "up" so the kitties don't roll off of it.
We have big thanks to give! We had Envelopes yesterday afternoon. We were all set to do BOXES on Monday evening when we ended up with no lights. So........to help us get caught up a bit, we did Envelopes yesterday! We are grateful to you!

Marta is now called Noel. She's doing great in her new home. She has already fit in with their other cat. The kids absolutely love her. She naps with Dexter, the other cat too!
We've also heard from Shep's new family. He is doing awesome and has fit right in. The little 7 year old boy so loves Shep!
Another update--Shiloh and Byron (who came in together) will soon be adopted together! So happy about this.
Remember, if you're going to order from Amazon, go to our website and click on the Amazon button. FFRC gets money credit for your order! It's very simple. We just received October's funds which came to $418.73! Thank you for doing this.
We have 4 cats at the vets today. Everly and Elfie are already done--they were neutered. Merri and Lucy Ann are there for their dentals. Big thanks to Donna and Larry for transporting them there.
It's almost 2016! A wonderful year coming up. I wish for all of you a healthy and happy year. May you find great peace with your family and friends. Value your relationships. Life really is too short to not fully enjoy each day. And give your pets a big extra hug! Happy New Year!

December 27, Sunday
Pania looked like she was going bonkers---spinning, twisting and almost flipping herself over. Then I realized it all over a catnip toy! So very nice to see her act so silly! Coralie was sleeping back to back with Everly and they both were enjoying it. Saturday we had the windows open for a little while--so hard to believe this crazy weather. As soon as the Welcome Room window was opened, there was Cyrus in between the screen and the slant window again---it's his very favorite place to be!
This morning at breakfast time, we opened the doors clear to the far back Thumper's Room---anyone in there could then make their way to the Main Area if they chose to. Cleo came up right away and was up for a few hours. She seemed so relaxed and happy. She enjoyed the Kitty Kabana windows. Abe, aka Abey Baby also came up and is still in the Main Area. Looks alot like Bender, but Abe has a black face while Bender has that cute white design on his nose. Elfie is in the Main Area too and is staying up--his feet look so much better. Just a little healing to go yet.
Thanks so very much to:
Joseph C from MA--donation by PayPal for FFRC
Tracey/traceylondonuk from UK--donation to be used towards medications for the kitties!
Shell J from OH & family--lint rollers, lots of kitty snackers, doggie treats
Debbie/lostgirl--2 bottles from Ahava (wonderful lotion!) & sardines!
We have an update about the two cats that were adopted here together--Obadiah & Dennison. They are both doing great and are very loved by their family!
We also heard from Gandolf & Rios family. Gandolf is now called Elvis. They are both doing super. Elvis sleeps with the 2 year old and they both love the Christmas tree!
We have an update on Audrey & Coca Cola. Audrey is white and Coca Cola is white/black. Coca is now called Tank. They were adopted 4 years ago and are much loved. The family says both cats have wonderful personalities. Tank also loves their collie dog and Audrey is very talkative!
We had FOUR adoptions yesterday! So happy about this. First, Marta left. This family was very excited to have her join their family. Marta's deafness is not a worry to them---they were thrilled to adopt her. Next Joop and Little Bit were adopted together. They had come in for Little Bit and when they realized Joop was back up for adoption, they scooped her up too! As their new dad said--they have enough heart for both kitties. Love this. Then Jun was adopted. So exciting for the family and for Jun. She will have a couple kids to play with. All good families and it felt good to let them go to their new homes.
We also had an adoption today. Shep got to go to his new home! The family of a volunteer came in and looked and looked yesterday. As soon as Shep came around, their choice was made! They picked him up right after noon today to make his way to his new home. Shep has a little boy to play with!
This coming week, we have several surgeries scheduled for Weds. Because of a break of one of their dental equipment pieces, we had to cancel Lucy Ann's dental the week before last. So, Lucy Ann will go on Weds. to get that dental done. We will also send Liesl and Everly for their spay/neuter and also Elfie for his neuter. Now that Elfie is doing so good, he can get that surgery done.
We did it. We finally closed the door to the Cove.They will still have The House that Jonah Built and the Covie Haven to go in and keep warm. The Cat's Cove is not built for winter weather--the wind, rain, snow goes right into the building. This is the longest we've been able to keep it open. Many times because of the weather, we've closed the Cove in mid November. This year due to such warm weather, we've been able to keep it open. The heaters in THTJB is keeping it toasty in there!
The Barnies and Porchies are doing good. They have their heaters also to cuddle under. All look good and seem happy.
Take care all--we're on the countdown to 2016! Please remember to vote and to keep walking for FFRC. Have a great upcoming week.

Christmas 2015
Tis the day of Christmas and we are grateful for this blessed day. We are also grateful for our wonderful volunteers and all those that help/support FFRC in so many varied, different ways! You are appreciated. I wish for all of you to have a wonderful happy Merry Christmas.
The Main Area cats, Porchies and FireCats have had a special breakfast....roasted chicken along with special cans of food! It's been gobbled up! There are bags waiting to give to the grey barn cats, the big red barn cats and the Covies. New toys too have been passed out and special snackers galore! Thank you for helping us be able to extra treat these cats.
Tomorrow we are expecting 3 more adoptions. All will happen in the morning.
We had 2 more adoptions on Weds. Wigglez and Alphonz went to their new home together! So exciting to see these cats and kittens leaving for good homes!
Little Elfie is healing fast and is walking now without any limps. He's doing very good. Such a sweet little soul. He's making friends with others here in the Main Area.
We have the Barnie Bella up in the back Thumper's Room in a double condo pen. She arrived here a year ago with very bad eyes. With treatment, they improved. Remember she came with that large group of barn cats that were so loved. Recently her eyes have gotten much worse where she couldn't keep them open any longer. We are going full speed ahead with treatment but so far, they are resisting what we are doing. Have changed her antibiotics today so we hope this will help. She's a grey long hair girl with a big white chin. A real beauty that loves to purr. I'm sure she's missing her barn family, but she's content to be on blankies and cushies for right now. We call her B Bella since we have a Bella here in the Main Area.
We have thanks to give! We had BOXES on Weds. evening.

Tuesday, December 22
And on the third day before Christmas, the kitties said to me: "We love our volunteers, mods, admins, chatters, lurkers, ALL of our supporters!!! Pleeeeease tell them all a big thanks, from the cats!"
We had two adoptions yesterday! Panda and Hoot went to their wonderful forever home with an FFRC friend, Val. I've already seen pictures and the household looks very happy and relaxed. There's going to be lots of rockin' and rollin' with these two new additions!
We have more adoptions coming up. For sure a couple on Saturday--Joop and Little Bit will be going to their individual homes. Great homes coming their way!
We had two returnees---the lady could no longer keep them as she felt they were not happy in her home. They were both adopted in 2014--Shiloh and Byron. Byron was already begging at the door to come to the Main Area, so up he came! He's fit right back in and is doing walk-abouts and playing already. Shiloh is still a bit shy.
Purrdelurps is doing better. I could tell she so loved her owner and was having a difficult time coming back. But today she was rubbing and purring--a good sign! She also likes Elfie. He is doing so good! His feet are rapidly healing. Elfie is a lovebug--he so loves to be held and fussed over. A really nice kitten.
We had BOXES last night! Many many thanks to you all.

We also had an adoption this morning! Little Marja (mama is Purrdelurps) went to her new home. What a great event--she was picked as a Christmas gift (to be given today) to his wife who has been so wanting a kitten! Marja will give them lots of love!
These boots are made for walkin', and that's just what we're doing! Walking, jogging, biking miles for FFRC! As of yesterday, we have now earned $152.33 for FFRC and just think how much better our hearts are for doing this! Thank you for each mile given! It's a free app--ResQwalk .
Are you still voting each day at /eaglerarelife.com/content/jacci-moss Votes are also free and can be done daily. I know we are in the top 30, but we need to maintain that. The contest is over in January. Thank you for your votes!
We are maintaining our healthy state of being with the cats and kittens. Big appetites and high play energy is back and we love it! Lucy Ann would love a quiet home where someone would give her a lap to have all day long. And she would need bird feeders to watch too! Cecil is running thru the purple office--he spent hours yesterday napping on the pink poof. Emily is at her usual "stealing" of the plastic bags--she loves to pluck them out of the bin. When she's not doing that, she "stealing" peacock feathers. Franklin Tommy just came whizzing in too--he can round the corners and keep on running at a high speed so gracefully!
On the ninth day of FFRC Christmas, my true love gave to me--
Nine Temptation Tubs ("those are ours!" grumbled Sevaun)
Eight Royal Canin Cat Food bags
Seven cases of Friskies Grilled,
Six Party Mixes (and a Coralie Swat),
Five jars of baby food,
Four packs of Simply Chicken,
Three minutes on the wheel (with Paddy's blessing),
Two window seats (to watch birds at the feeders)
and a warm mat in a Kuranda Tower! Thanks to Tigercat54!

We also had an adoption this morning! Little Marja (mama is Purrdelurps) went to her new home. What a great event--she was picked as a Christmas gift (to be given today) to his wife who has been so wanting a kitten! Marja will give them lots of love!
These boots are made for walkin', and that's just what we're doing! Walking, jogging, biking miles for FFRC! As of yesterday, we have now earned $152.33 for FFRC and just think how much better our hearts are for doing this! Thank you for each mile given! It's a free app--ResQwalk .
Are you still voting each day at /eaglerarelife.com/content/jacci-moss Votes are also free and can be done daily. I know we are in the top 30, but we need to maintain that. The contest is over in January. Thank you for your votes!
We are maintaining our healthy state of being with the cats and kittens. Big appetites and high play energy is back and we love it! Lucy Ann would love a quiet home where someone would give her a lap to have all day long. And she would need bird feeders to watch too! Cecil is running thru the purple office--he spent hours yesterday napping on the pink poof. Emily is at her usual "stealing" of the plastic bags--she loves to pluck them out of the bin. When she's not doing that, she "stealing" peacock feathers. Franklin Tommy just came whizzing in too--he can round the corners and keep on running at a high speed so gracefully!
On the ninth day of FFRC Christmas, my true love gave to me--
Nine Temptation Tubs ("those are ours!" grumbled Sevaun)
Eight Royal Canin Cat Food bags
Seven cases of Friskies Grilled,
Six Party Mixes (and a Coralie Swat),
Five jars of baby food,
Four packs of Simply Chicken,
Three minutes on the wheel (with Paddy's blessing),
Two window seats (to watch birds at the feeders)
and a warm mat in a Kuranda Tower! Thanks to Tigercat54!

Sunday, December 20
And on the fifth day before Christmas, we have happy cats!
Chicken was part of their breakfast, lots of extra petting today and high
energy of play time thru out the day and the Porchies had 3 heater beds put in
their Sunporch so they are extra warm!
We had two adoptions. The first was yesterday---this
adoption was for Squigglez. She had been long waited for. It took a bit of time
to be able to get her spayed. She’s now spayed and happily in her new home! The
second adoption was today—Stormy went to his new home. The young girl in the
family did not know why they were here at FFRC until she was presented Stormy
as her very own kitty! It was so sweet!
Our new 4-some cats are doing good—Cleo, Abe, Rooney &
Kit. They are starting to adjust to a new way of life. It has to be hard on
cats that have come from a good place—they have had their whole world changed.
But, they are coming along! Purrdelurps also is starting to settle in. She’s
having a harder time though---I know she loved her owner. She purred today for
us and is eating good.
Little Elfie is coming right along too! It’s amazing how
fast his toesies are healing! His lip too looks better. And today he actually
got himself to the litterbox by himself! He’s on antibiotics and soreness meds
still. And the diarrhea is still an issue but we’re working on that. He’s so
content just resting on his big cushie, like a good boy, so healing can take
place.
We have thanks to give---so grateful:
Cheryl B from AZ—donation to FFRC, whose favorite still is
Derecho!
Karla M from IA—a Merry Christmas donation to FFRC, to be
used where needed
I have some sad news to pass on to you. We lost our little
Aloha this afternoon. Very very sad about this. I’ve talked to Dr. Darcy and
she fully believes that Aloha arrived here in late stage of wet FIP. Yes, she
played a couple times, but she was too quiet, too laid back, slept much of the
time, tummy was way too big, poor appetite. The last 24 hours, she had definite
signs that things were not right. She passed quietly today. My big sadness is
that we had her promised to a dear FFRC friend where she would’ve been so so
loved. She did not get that opportunity.
I have to wonder if that’s why she was dropped off here---that the people who
had her knew something wasn’t right. Regardless, she was well loved here and so
enjoyed. I also want to say that I feel that we don’t have to worry about
another kitten here contracting FIP from this situation. Peace, little Aloha.
Flea info---did you know:
For every 5 fleas found on your pet, there’s 95 in your home.
Fleas feed on blood. A flea can live without a blood meal
for 100 days.
A female has to have a blood meal to lay eggs. She can lay
2,000 eggs in her lifetime.
When treating fleas, expect to see fleas the first month. These
are pupae that continue to emerge.
YOU can bring fleas into your home on your pant cuffs/socks.
It’s far easier to prevent fleas than it is to get rid of an
infestation.
I went out to see the Covies today---there were 12 of them
in The House that Jonah Built---they love it in there. So cozy and lots of room
to spread out. We actually still have the Cove open. As soon as it becomes more
wintery, we will close that door. But for now, it’s still a good place for them
to have.
Here are a few reasons why we adopt out to indoor only
homes:
CARS—many thousands of cats get hit by cars every year.
POISONING—there are people who don’t like cats and will
purposely set out poison.
LEUKEMIA/FIV—these are diseases that can be spread cat to
cat
RESEARCH LABS—your cat could be sold to a research lab. This
practice DOES happen.
ANTI-FREEZE—it takes such a very small amount to kill a cat
GETTING TRAPPED—your cat can become trapped in someone’s
garage/shed with no escape.
PARASITES—your cat can contract fleas, ticks, worms,
toxoplasmosis, cuterebra, giardia, lice, etc.
Acadia is doing wonderful. Hard to believe she’s the same
cat that came in. Cutie has been soaking up the attention---any lap to her is
fair game to plant herself! Joey discovered that Dodger’s Pen is open during
the day---he enjoys napping in there. Trucker’s poo is doing great. We made a
comment just today how good he is doing! Little Joop and Jun are such wonderful
kittens---they absolutely love to be held and so ornery too! Emily did it
again---“stole” the peacock feathers out of the adoption bags! She eyes those
and makes her move! Tabitha has now showed Farrah and Towanda that it’s great
fun to jump over the top of the open window of the door going into June’s
Room---nice napping places are in there! Pania also loves laps. I think that’s
partly why she likes her bench—it’s close to the door where people come in.
Every chance Alphonz gets to zip into the Storage Room he does! He scoots in,
runs to the other door and then sits—he waits to be picked up to be taken back
out. This happens at least 10 times a day! Bella so loves her poof pool. Love
these cats!

Saturday, December 19
And on the 6th day before Christmas, we have a whole bunch of healthy cats! Yep, I do believe that nasty kitty tummy flu bug is gone! Lots of crazy, ornery kitties and cats with ferocious appetites! So so nice to see that and to even do the finger-wagging scolding on some of them! Although, they just try to bat the wagging finger and then run off! Love it!
We had a bit of a scare last night. Steve saw a teenager size kitten going down the sidewalk by the PawMart Store and then take off running into the parking lot. It was dark and he didn't get a good look at him. Then the worry was....could that be one of our little rascals that got out the door somehow? So.....a full head count of all the cats and kittens inside the Rescue Center had to be done. While that was being done, Barb and Steve went out to look for the kitten, but no luck. It was realized that all was accounted for. We put out warm can food just in case he came back. He's welcome here, but he/she must be neutered or spayed. We'll keep our eyes open.
We had BOXES last night too. Many grateful thanks to you.

Our new little girl, Aloha is now up part time, in the Main Area. She's so sweet. Is a cuddler and hangs on to whoever is holding her. She's doing really good and is enjoying playing and exploring.
We also took in 4 adult cats yesterday. Their human mama passed away a few weeks ago. The family truly cares about these cats and asked if we could take them on. Here's a little info about them:
Cleo, 9 years old, short hair tiger, with dark brown stripe down back. Mama to Rooney & Kit. A super sweet girl, constantly wanting petting and loves to knead.
Rooney, 8 years old, female,very longgrey/cream hair, torti, Cleo's baby. A little shy, but so sweet
Kit, 8 years old, female, calico/tiger, Cleo's baby. Loves petting
Abe, 10 years old, male, black/white, loves loves people. Affectionately known as AbeyBaby.
Abe and Rooney are both 18 pounders. Abe looks a lot like Bender. We welcome them here and will give them much TLC as they are adjusting to their new life here.
We also took on a new kitten yesterday morning. He was at a gas station by Route #127. His poor footsies---looks like all 4 feet have a chemical burn which has made very bad sores on all of his pads on all 4 of his feet, plus a sore on his lip. Half the time he has his paws wrapped with a healing ointment on his feet. His name is Elfie. He is a brown tiger. Poor baby also has terrible diarrhea which we are treating. He's on soreness meds and antibiotics. He's a bit punky today and sleeping alot. That is just fine--sleeping promotes healing.
We had a returned cat this morning. Purrdelurps is back. While the man who adopted her is very sad at returning her, his health has taken a turn for the worse. He was worried about her future and so made the hard decision to return her. Purrdelurps is the mama to Marja, Scooper, Jun and Joop. I'm sure once she's back in the Main Area, she will round up her kitties! She is a great mama.
Please remember to keep on a'walkin'! We placed first in the ResQwalk the last two weeks. This week, at this point, we are third, which still is a money-maker. So far we have earned $119.89 just for walking/jogging/biking--good for the kitties and good for your heart! It's free---please continue to walk for FFRC. Thank you!
The other reminder please...keep on voting on the Eagle Rare contest. It's free and can be done once a day. This contest will wind down the first week of January. I know we are in the top 30, which is where the prizes start coming in! Please help....vote for FFRC! Thank you.
Coralie.....sweet Coralie. Yes, sometimes she seems to be rough with the cats walking by. But she also has very few claws on her front paws due to the frostbite. But she truly has a sweet side to her too. We have to be patient too with her "pottying habits". It's very difficult for her to get in a litterbox. We use to put her in the very low boxes, but it seems like she would panic and find herself stuck there. She solved the problem herself---those rugs are great for doing "the job". So, please, she's listening and wouldn't want to hear any negative comments about it! She gets embarrassed about it. So, we just let her do her thing and replace the rug. No mess, no hassle, problem easily solved! And we end up with a happy Coralie! Isn't she just so smart!
We have a few more adoptions coming up this next week. Very happy for these cats to be getting their forever homes!

Weds., December 16
Nine more days to Christmas. The best Christmas present of all---the kitties are all doing much better. It's true we had a tummy flu bug come in. Remember--no worries for people--these things are species specific. Monday was the hardest day for this bug. Yesterday was better, today is better yet. Cecil is still punky as is Marja. Both received fluids and injections this morning and actually are feeling better already. This equates to school classes--one kid/kitty brings in a bug and presto....all of them get it. Here's the silver lining in this--when they recover, it will have triggered their immune system and they will actually have a tougher immune system! We had changed their diet the last few days--using very easily digestible foods. Today we started them back pretty much on their regular diet as their appetites have increased now! That is a good thing! My Christmas wish---no more pukies!
Yesterday was the interview with the Eagle Rare Life people! The interview was about 23 minutes long. He told me we will have another interview on the phone the first week of January. I've been asked how we are doing and truthfully.....I have no idea. I know the competition is very tough. I also know we are in the overall top 30 picks and we are in the top 5 for the Devotion category. He stressed it's important to keep voting so please keep up the good work! I thank you for this!
We had BOXES Monday evening. You are very appreciated!
