 Yeah for the LJ litter of 6 kittens! These kittens have all been adopted now.

4/9--Larry was adopted

4/9--Lennon was adopted

4/10--Laura was adopted (went to the home that has our Boom Boom)

4/10--Jean & Jerry were adopted (went together)

4/11--Joall was adopted

We also had 3 other adoptions!    

4/6--Maddie Mae Tru was adopted. She has an awesome family with a 3 year old. This little girl loves Maddie.  And Maddie climbed into her lap. So happy for this older cat!

4/7--Zandro was adopted. His  new name is Coco and he is doing very good in his new home

4/10--Zasha was adopted.  This is our sweet grey/white 3 legged girl with the ear that had a growth removed. Such a sweetie with a mega purr!

The Ms. M and her babies are now in the Main Area. They spent their first night in the Paddy's Place last night. This morning we opened their door. It wasn't long before they came out and started exploring!  4 girls and 1 boy--all cute and sweetiepies.  Mama Ms. M seems pretty laid back. 

Many thanks for the great response to our Flash Sale last week. It was a wonderful sale--it brought in $965! Steve was busy sorting bills and getting some paid!  What a good feeling.

This past Thursday was another HumaneOhio day.  We sent up 47 cats--25 females and 22 males. FFRC also sent up 6 kittens (the LJ litter) and 1 adult (Ms. M). A wonderful turnout. Someone asked me how much FFRC makes on these clinics.  The answer is zero.  All of us involved in check ins and check outs--Lynnette, Becky, Gem, Mary Braid, Lostgirl, Marcia and myself are there as volunteers. The charges we have for each cat is what HumaneOhio charges--we do not charge any additional costs. This is something we feel is important to our community. 

Do any of you remember Sophie who was adopted 14 years ago? Her family emailed me. She will be 15 in December. She is a torti that someone found on a snowy December day and had frostbite to her ears, pads and her tail. She may be completely deaf now but is doing very well!

Have heard from Laura's new mama. Her name is now Callie Mae. She and Boom Boom have been having fun playing together. 

We are having our Fun-Raiser right now.  There are 8 items, as usual but some are very different than we've had in the past.  Check out our FB pages for the items and pictures! It ends 9 am on THursday. The drawings will start at 1:00, followed by consolation prizes! 

Dr. Darcy will be here Saturday. She will be checking out Sparrow. We also have some physicals to do too. We're working on the surgery list.

We are shooting for the first of May to start doing boxes again on cam! That will be so nice--I'll enjoy that.  In the meantime, I've been trying to get personal thank yous sent to everyone.  If I've missed you, it's possible that I do not have your email. Feel free to let me know at ffrcmoss@gmail.com

I've also been asked about Catathon. It is realized now that we should already be in Catathon mode.  We are not even yet open to the public. Many places are still closed for inside dining. The majority of our volunteers are still asking for health safety over visitations, which I have to honor. So, at this time, no 2021 Catathon. This has always been our biggest fundraiser of the year and will be sorely missed. But, the health of our volunteers is of top priority. 

The outside cats have their wind guards now down at the Cove.  The clear plastic is off of the Porchies sunporch. Electric water bowls have been put away. Snow shovels are hanging in the shed. Let the sun shine! Take care, have a wonderful week!
