Yesterday was a HumaneOhio spay/neuter day! One of our favorite things to do! We sent up 39 cats--25females and 14 males! All spay/neuter days are extra good days! Thank you to Lynnette, Becky M, Gem, Debbie, Mary Braid, Marcia for helping us. We could not do this without all the help!
Wednesday was another Flash Sale! This sale brought in $807--super wonderful! Many thanks to those that provided the items we sold and to all the participants! Since this week is in the Solar Panel Project timeframe, this sale went towards our project goal!
We've heard from the family that adopted Freddie and Abicat, now known as Freddie and Ginger! "They are such a joy! I can't believe how fast they've settled in. After 1 day they were sleeping on my lap, which I love. They are having so much fun playing with each other and all their new toys. I love them so much!" Another happy adoption!
As you probably know, we are still doing our Solar Panel Project. I am completely blown away with the generosity and support shown for this project. Truly is heart warming. Here's a look at the last 10 days:
4/27, $4,160 donated
4/28 $2,286
4/29 $1,750
4/30 $1,637
5/1 $3,251
5/2 $2,269
5/3 $2,526.01
5/4 $1,610.17
5/5 $3,577
5/6 $2,092
This as of today, makes $25,158.18 (yes, every penny is important, especially when those pennies were donated in memory of LJ!).
Our Total cost for FFRC's share of the solar panels is $27,750. Monday is the last day that donations to FFRC goes towards the solar panel project. Will we make it? It's very close! Even though I am a very positive, optimistic person, I thought....wow, if we could even get $10,000 raised, we would figure out some how to pay the rest off. But, our FFRCNation is blowing that apart with their generosity! I am so full of gratitude, relief and joy about this.
Following the final show of the graph on Monday, we will do a live tour of the Rescue Center. This is a way to show my appreciation.

We have taken on a few more kittens/cats.
Bijou (Bee-zhoo)--female, DLH white calico. Name means Little Gem. Arrived 4/28. Her birthday is 4/18/20 so she is just a year old. This sweet, quiet girl was left unattended in a trap for over 24 hours. She was so very hungry. She is very beautiful and loves to be petted.
----------------------------------------------
The R2 litter is here now! Their birthdate is 3/25/21 so they ae just 6 weeks old. Super sweet, playful and ornery already!
Sleeky--female, white/black/gold calico
Shone--female, brown tiger
Herschel--male, black/white
Hudson--male, white and grey, dot on nose and chin
Hyatt--male, grey and white
-------------------------------------------------
A friend of FFRC has been caring for a group of cats that have no owner any longer. He brought 4 of them to FFRC yesterday for their spays (all 4 are girls). FFC has taken over ownership of these cats. They are ever so kind, so friendly, loud purrers. I didn't have the heart to send them back where they would be outside cats with no real owner.
Corabelle--the prettiest, super friendly DLH, white calico. Birthday is 2/4/21, 13 weeks old
Dee Dee--female, siamese, birthday is 6/14/20, is 11 months old. Super nice
Qapla--female, white/gold, birthday is 3/14/20, is 14 months old.
All names above are on the Name a Cat name list.

Yoey is healing. His wounds were very nasty. Everyday we find another wound that is abscessed but each are getting better. His appetite is good and he loves to wrap around your legs.
You may have noticed we have a bit of competition going on in the Main Area. We have 3 females with the desire of being wannabe caretakers of the kittens. Ms. M, Sazaz and Ruby. They just want to love on the kittens, give them baths and play with them without the other wannabe caretakers. It makes life a bit interesting. All will settle down soon though.
Sunday, Joan will go to her new home. She is the last of Ms. M's kittens. The next group which is the R1 kittens are having holds put on them now. They cannot leave yet until they are bigger and can be spayed/neutered.
Tomorrow is the Lilac Festival in Defiance and FFRC will be there! Please stop by and see the booth! Thanks to our awesome voluntees who have organized this and helping with the booth!
All is good here. It's still chilly but the sun shines for part of the day! Take good care.
