The Ms M kittens are out and about and everywhere! I love how they know though, that Paddy's Place is their home base. When they are tired, they pile up in their room for nap time. We are still putting them in this room for nighttime snoozing. They have good appetites. Won't be long before we start having folks visit to see if they would like to pick a kitten! Visitations will be Covid safe and in the Welcome Room or back Thumper's Room.
Yeah for an awesome Fun-Raiser that we had yesterday. I am so grateful for the items donated for this event and for every ticket placed for the items. Big thanks too to Marcia, Beth and Lynnette for working on the tickets. And to the mods for their spreading the word about the fun-raiser. It takes a group effort to make this successful! And I love how, during the fun-raiser, everyone congratulates the winners--so nice!

Steve spent the evening working on bills and was able to get some paid! We both are very thankful.
Zelda was ecstatic! She got to have a box to help open right before the Fun-Raiser. This box was from our wonderfully talented Larissa. She has an amazing talent and we are thankful that she shares her Artsie items with FFRC. It was filled with beautifully designed boxes and pictures. The details are phenomenal. These items will be in a fun-raiser, all their own!
I love the Trivia events that the mods do for the viewers on the cam. It's a fun way to be together.
Tomorrow is our FFRC surgery day. This is a spay/neuter day and will be doing some public females and males. It's amazing to me that we are booking HumaneOhio appointments for July already. We schedule approximately 50 cats for each HO event, month after month, twice a month. Yet, we still have so many kittens being born. It also amazes me that some folks get upset that they have to wait so long. Many of the veterinary offices are booking 7-8 months from now. It's all a sad situation because there is never enough homes. Make yourself a promise....get those cats spayed/neutered, can even do in the winter time when schedules are not as tight. And please.........don't get upset with us on the phone!! Our work with HumaneOhio is purely on a volunteer basis....we do this as a service to our community.
Have you checked your pet's teeth lately? This is one highly overlooked problem that your pets can have. If you've ever experienced a toothache, you can imagine the pain it can also cause your pet. Yes, dentals are expensive but left unchecked, teeth can be very painful, can cause a systemic infection and shorten lives.
Spiker and Magic are sound asleep on my desk, alongside Lucy. Ramsay has a full belly and is peacefully napping too. Derecho is so smart. In the mornings, he stays in the main area while Kim is sweeping the Kabana and purple office. Then when the sweeper goes off, he comes into the purple office and gets on a kuranda tower bed. He knows her routine and how to stay his distance from the sweeper.
Have you been listening to Kiara? She's been a talkative soul lately! Has quite a story to talk about. Pania is doing great--her cold is almost gone. We know she is feeling better because she is eating her Pania Flakes again. Asha also is another smart one. She knows what level on the Kuranda Towers to hang out on. She picks shoulder high to people--easy for her to ask for a head rub and back scratch.
The Covies are doing great. They so love their playground--lots of area to run full speed. And the grass is thick and green--great to roll in. They have a pile of cut up tree branches that is fun to climb on. They have full view of the farmyard.
Take care, have a wonderful weekend!
