Today was a weight day......everyone is doing good. No big losses or big gains. Except one! Coralie has gained over half a pound! The steroids are helping to reduce that mass enough to help her eat more comfortably! Her appetite is good and she is relaxed and happy! I let Dr. Darcy know and she too is very happy with this news!
I know you haven't seen Ringo yet except through pictures. He's being a shy boy. Actually, he totally LOVES his big bed--the bed and Ringo are perched on top of the surgery table. He's happy as can be! His ears are improving and his wound behind his ear is healing.
We enjoyed our time with everyone New Year's Eve. It started with a story read by BillyPogo. Then I did two stories at 11:00 pm. Followed by the ball dropping here at FFRC--Mary (Friday night) designs that! At midnight, the ball gets a string pulled and Pania Flakes and snackers were dumped all over the floor for their midnight snack! We stayed and chatted with the viewers and loved up on the cats. A nice evening.
***** For Dec. 31, up to midnight, FFRC had 31,552 views on our youtube kitty cam. At midnight, as the ball dropped, we had 785 viewers on! And here's a bit more stats---In the last year, the channel has been viewed 4,230,335 times. Next time you are on chat, please give our moderators a shout out! They do their modding out of the goodness of their heats. I so appreciate them. Without our mods, we would not be able to have our chat.
We are trying to keep the people numbers low inside the Rescue Center. Covid positives are climbing in our area. That is why we are doing boxes in PawMart, just for the time being. Please know though that BOXES are important to us and we sincerely are grateful. Soon, hoping that things will get back to a more normal activity level around here. The important thing is to protect our volunteers as much as possible. I can't wait for the time that we can welcome visitors into the main area again! That will be a grand day!
We have thanks to give! (I'm sorry I've gotten behind)

We had to have a repair man come in to look at the furnace in THTJB. It got down to 48 degrees--the cats were cuddled together for warmth! The Covies though are doing good. We have a couple of them on meds for minor things. Every month they get their weights and nails trimmed. The furnace is back to working and will be toasty for them again!
We have an update on Caden, the handsome brown tiger that was adopted in late November. He came for a nail trim today. He looks great and is very happy. Santa brought him a super piece of climbing cat furniture that is front of the windows!
We also had an update on Dis and Dat. They loved climbing the Christmas tree, all the way to the top! And they have figured out how to open cabinet doors and exploring within! They are well loved.
Maddie Mae Tru is wonderful. She loves the couch in the Kitty Kabana. And yes, she was indeed in heat. We have her scheduled for her spay soon. She is doing very well getting around.
I've been asked about Shamballie. He just had a birthday on Christmas. Since he has come up to the Rescue Center, he has lost 1 1/2 pounds--slow and easy! He's been more active and seems to have found his happy spots! He also gets some time in the PawMart when he wants.
You all take good care. Stay healthy! Have a great day.
