Been a busy week. We are now open to the public again. Ideally, we do not want to overcrowd the rescue center though and prefer appointments. Those that do not have their covid vaccines must wear a mask. Above all, we want to protect our volunteers, who most have had their vaccines. I must say..it's been so nice to have visitors again!
We've had several adoptions!
Taffy was adopted 6/12. She went with a couple who were thrilled to adopt her and has much lap time to love on her.
Ms. M and Bobo were adopted together on 6/18. I'm so happy for this household as they have lots of love to give. Two wonderful new pets--an adult and a kitten!
Raza was adopted 6/19. She went to a home with a mom and a little girl. Both were Raza approved. I've already seen a video and Raza looks completely comfortable and at home already. She loves to be brushed by them.
Spring was adopted 6/19. This was a special adoption. While Spring doesn't appreciate being with cats, she sure loves people. She went into a home with an elderly lady who needs a cat to love on. A good match.
We recently have had two cats returned:
Sven--he was just not the right fit for this home. They have a resident cat and these two cats simply did not get along. To make life better, Sven was returned. Upon their vacation, they have a female kitten picked out to join their home. That kitten is Goldie Pearl who is super loving and playful.
Ringo--this was a hard one. His new mama only had him a few months. Her life has changed and she must move and cannot take Ringo, much to her sadness. I'm betting it won't take long for Ringo to readjust and to find a new home. He sure missed his new mama but he is starting to settle in now again. A wonderful young adult male.
We also took on 8 new kittens.
The cemetery kittens, born 5/18/21. They are only 4 weeks old and were dumped at a local cemetery. There is no way 4 week olds can survive without food and protection from mama. They came in loaded with fleas to the extent they are still anemic. They were very dehydrated and emaciated. There were actually 4 of them--2 did not survive due to their very poor condition. Thanks to the lady who found them and brought in the 2 living ones. Each day their energy level is improving but it will take a while for those red blood cells to overcome their anemia.
Frontigny--black, white tummy, scars on both eyes, male
Fendi--grey, white tummy, male
And then we have 6 of the Lisa kittens. These kitties were born 5/5/21. They have arrived at 6 weeks of age. Their mama is already scheduled for her spay. Lisa found these kittens on the day they were born, in the mulch of her garden. She spent many hours with them, holding and socializing them.
Algy--brown tiger, male
Arland--brown tiger, male
Buttons--black, no white, male
Boo Boo--black, no white, male
Celie--torti/tiger, ASH, female
Cambria--torti, gold on forehead, female
All the above names are from our Name a Cat list. As you can guess, the black kittens and the brown tiger kittens of Lisa's will be hard to tell apart!
Weds., we had a Presentation of Where the Money Goes. We showed a few dozen ways that claim our money. Hoping it was helpful to understand the needs of FFRC.
Following that Presentation, we had BOXES. As you know, due to Covid, we have been doing boxes in PawMart and sending out thank yous to the kind folks for their donations.
We want to continue doing BOXES on the cam, except for those that people have left us know to open off cam. Also heavy boxes will be opened in PawMart, as they many times are hard to be moving about. But acknowledgements will be given to the donors.
