It's been a busy week, as usual. Thursday was HumaneOhio. We sent up 46 cats! This broke down to 31 females and 15 males. FFRC sent up 5 kittens. We love these spay/neuter days. There's so many kitties that never have a home. Please.....spay and neuter. It's the best way to prevent the overpopulation problem. Many thanks to Lynnette, Gem, Mary Braid, Donnajb, Marcia and ConnieD for helping us with this day.
We assumed FFRC ownership of a special cat from HumaneOhio day. An owner could no longer care for this particular cat so we took her. She had quite a few medical issues that HumaneOhio diagnosed. We have her now and have named her Sazaz which means courage and determination. She has an upper respiratory infection, left eye conjunctivitis, severe bloody diarrhea, severe earmites and a very raw bum. But, she is determined to get better, already comes to be petted and is responding to her medications. Sazaz is a DSH gold tiger and has a sweet personality. She is 1 year old.
We also took ownership of another awesome cat. He was well loved by a neighborhood who many participated in feeding him. His name is Zayvan--he's a big, gold/white boy and was already neutered. Somewhere, somehow he came up with a very large laceration to his neck. He arrived Thursday, the 15th. His laceration was clipped of dead tissue, cleaned up and shaved. He was started on antibiotics. On Saturday when Dr. Darcy was here, she stitched him up. Next week his sutures will be removed. His birthday is 3/21/19. Because Zayvan needed to be inside due to his sutures, the neighborhood decided to relinquish him to FFRC. We will find him an indoor home. He loves his soft cushies and is a talker! Zayvan is in the Kitty Kabana, temporarily by himself, while he acclimates to being up front.
We also took on another kitten. His name is Sven. He arrived at 4 months of age with a birthday of 12/20/20. He was born inside and is the only survivor of the litter. His mama is on our spay schedule for HumaneOhio. Sven is a little shy at first but he sure enjoys being loved on. He is now in the Main Area and has made friends with Sparrow, Ruby and the kittens. Sven was neutered Thursday at HumaneOhio.
Yes, Ruby Lovie LittleBit is back for a little while. She had went back home to her family but wasn't feeling too well and was crying. She's here again but is just visiting.
And, we also took on another litter of kitties. A friend of ours found 2 very pregnant cats and took them into his home (he's a great guy!). Both have given birth and we promised him to find homes for the kittens. He already has the 2 mamas scheduled for their spays. This litter has 5 kittens and are now 6 weeks old. The second litter is about 10-12 days younger and will stay with mama until the first part of May.
This new litter was born 3/11/21. They are:
Chief Cleo--orange DSH, male
CoCo--black/white, with a white tip tail, male
Indigo--all black, DSH, female
April--muted calico, female
Pinkie--grey/cream torti, female
These are all Name a Cat names! Kittens are healthy and are doing great.
And now for the Ms. M litter--4 of the 5 were spayed/neutered this past Thursday. Little Joan was.....well, too little! She is catching up fast though and will be spayed soon. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday the other 4 will be leaving FFRC and going into their new homes. We will be looking for a special, loving home for Ms. M. She is a quiet young adult. She now comes to us for pets and lovings. Such a gentle girl who has been an awesome mama. And she has been great with the other cats here.
Some of you may remember Nemo, a cat that was adopted 12 years ago! I heard from his mom and she says he is doing great. From Nemo---"For the last 3 years, I have actually been living with my family in Germany. I have a great life as a German Prince. My family takes great care ofme and I really like it here. My hobbies include napping, eating snacks and sitting in the sun." Sounds like a happy Nemo!
Mark Weds. at 11:00 for our next Flash Sale! This is a super awesome one as it's chock full with miscellaneous items--many things we've never had before for Flash Sales! Come join us and help us get some bills paid.
We have a special school class coming in on the cam Tuesday at 1:00. It's my granddaughter Kellen's class. It won't be long and it'll be a Show of Cats for her and class. Fun!
Our electrical bills are enormous. But, we have a lot of rooms, freezers, refrigerators, heat lamps, etc. It all adds up. But.....we have a plan and will go over this with everyone very soon to keep you in the loop!
We are planning on starting BOXES up soon in May. In the meantime, I've been sending thank yous out so you all know that your boxes have arrived and how much we appreciate this support. There's a couple folks that I don't have emails for. If this would be you and you would like to, please email me at ffrcmoss@gmail.com so I can send a big thanks! Boxes and donations make a huge difference to FFRC--it keeps us going!
Have a great weekend.
