Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone! Those rascally 6 kittens were overhead asking King Magic and Queen Coralie if they could dye their fur green today. We have good royalty cats as they persuaded the kitties to go in another direction. They then asked me if I could hide Shamrock's for a fun day! So, of course, we will. Keep your eyes open--there's 25 between the Kitty Kabana and the Main Area! Have fun!
We had an awesome adoption! Bub went to his new home. He is now called Mr. Bub and looks totally happy! Here's what they say---"Mr. Bub is living it up! He chose to spend all night in bed with my 8 year old and woke her up this morning by licking her face! He walks around like he owns the place already! If he's not sleeping or eating, he is walking around meowing asking for someone to pet him. My daughters get a kick out of his purr because we can hear him across the room! We truly couldn't be happier! He is just the sweetest, he even goes right upt o our 10 month old and let's him pet him and rubs against him! We are so grateful!". Sounds like Mr. Bub has a happy life!
Update on Steve! He is doing great! Can't keep a good guy down! He ended up not having to have another stent put in. His heart is not 100% (well, I think it is!!), but it still is functioning pretty good! As of today, he can drive again and we are still planning on starting our vacation tomorrow! We are both so grateful for your prayers and good thoughts.
We have more thanks!

My question--how did FFRC become such a lucky recipient of these wonderful folks in our FFRCNation. It's simply and plainly, a blessing to us. We could not function as we do without this support. It certainly warms the heart. I am grateful.
Lucy is here on my desk, chomping away on a whole stick of a treat bar! Magic is giving himself a bath, while listening to the music (he likes that!!). Coralie is with me too--she knows she always gets a sampling of the RC mother/babycat kibbles. CDot has come and gone several times, jumping on my shoulder, doing his morning drool on me and then going to play! Zelda has had her Temptation snackers on the desk. Spiker is always first to get in a certain bed, right behind my chair--easy reaching for ear scratches. Ramsay is just starting his nap, after having his special snacker mix too. My work desk crew!
As many of you already know, Steve and I are aiming to leave tomorrow for our spring vacation with family at the OuterBanks. We will be on the 4 x 4 beach, which we all love. So close to the ocean and we get lots of views of the wild horses there. No worries.......all pictures taken are at a far distance. We have seen in the past, the foals and their mamas, stallions fighting, horses right on the beach, their play times where they run all out on the sandy roads. This is what we enjoy watching. We always have lots of walk time on the beach and will visit a nature preserve we haven't seen before. We all practice good Covid safety. Our last day at the house is on the 28th, a Sunday. It's a long drive so we don't know if we will be back that night late or on Monday.
Please, a favor to ask! While I am gone, to keep the emails/correspondence at a minimum. I plan on not being on my phone, other than to take pictures and to check in with the mods and volunteers. We have the bestest folks in the world and I know that all will be fine while I am gone! Thank you--I'd sure appreciate that.
Tomorrow is HumaneOhio--should have a full load! No FFRC cats will be going on this trip.
Yesterday, Lynnette and Donna did a spa day for the Covies--nails were trimmed and more brushing and combing was done.
The 6 LJ kittens are doing super good--growing and either sleeping or playing at full speed! They are a very active group. They are out and about the entire day, just going into Paddys Place for night time sleeping.
We took on a new cat. His name is Zandro. He is a full Ragdoll who has gorgeous blue eyes. His mama will have to move and it's impossible to take him. I thank her for helping him--she rescued him at a young age. He is 13 months old, with a birthday of 2/14/20. A gorgeous cat. Today he made a short trip into the main area. I want to introduce him to Kitty Kabana today as he enjoys watching out windows! His fur is a bit short right now but is growing into a magnificent coat.
Take care! I'll miss the cats and kittens so much but know they are in good hands. You all stay healthy!
