A week tomorrow, I put in a blog, simply explaining some of the recent rough times FFRC has been experiencing. I did that blog to enlighten our FFRC friends so they would understand why things were a bit "shadowed" in those recent days.
What I did not expect is that some of these friends would suggest to do something that would help us with the loss of us not doing Catathon (due to covid) and to show support. It was quickly named We Care and grew into this absolutely awesome wonderful event.
It actually began on Tuesday and ended yesterday with yet a few more donations coming in today.
Is our FFRCNation awesome..............yes!
Do we have the bestest volunteers anywhere...........yes!
Are the mods and admins the best support teams anywhere........yes!
Do we have the sweetest, cutest and nicest cats anywhere.......absolutely yes!
From the bottom of my heart, I am so very grateful for the phenomenal results of We Care. Tuesday began with a few paypals and notes of donations coming through the mail. And then it exploded! I was kept hopping busy on the computer, smiling and having joy tears the entire time. Here's how it worked out:
Tuesday/Weds---$10,593.07
Thursday--$4,295.00
Friday--$8,210.49
Saturday--$12,200.85
Sunday---$2191.01
The Grand Total is $37,490.42 (all the cents given is in memory of LJ!!)
Do you realize this is actually very close to what we would've done for a Catathon? I sit here in wonder and in awe of our FFRCNation. As I said yesterday, a thank you is not sufficient for what this means to FFRC. But, I promise, as always, to do my very best in taking care of this Rescue Center and each and every kitten and cat that comes our way.
Weds. we also had a Flash Sale. It was filled with a wide variety of items, all donated by our friends. This sale brought in $691.04. I thank these friends, all those that won the items and the mods for doing the PR for this event.
We've had another three adoptions!
Vlinder was adopted on 7/7. What a sweet brown tiger little girl. She went into the home that also adopted Herschel. Her new name is Harlow!
Quill and Quiller were adopted on 7/9, together in the same home! This family has kids that will give lots of love to these two twin boys!
We have several other kittens on hold: Buttons and Boo Boo together, Ju-in-ji, Ringo, Punky, Celie and Churchill.
June Bug--update! This morning, I am beyond encouraged. His wounds from the maggots are definitely healing. The process of filling in those open gaps is now happening! He is an awesome kitten and is feeling stronger and has more energy now!
Thursday was our HumaneOhio surgery day! We sent 41 kittens and cats! This broke down to 28 females and 13 males. Our total so far for 2021 is 530. A great day!
Many of you already know, but my family has grown by 3 dogs--1 adult dog and 2 puppies. Bolly, who is the "sister" to Molly is doing great. She is fitting in and leaning new things everyday. She thinks house living instead of barn living is quite nice! She enjoys the fenced in yard and comes to FFRC often to spend time. The two puppies are the two that Molly had. Both are doing better, getting stronger but have a ways to go to catch up to what "normal" would be. Steve and I are working with them to help grow them up and to be happy healthy dogs. The chocolate one is called Kenya, a female. The spotty one, like Molly, is called Abner, a male. Abner is quite small and has a few developmental things going on. But....he doesn't know it and just carries on!
Have a great Sunday. It's been raining all morning here and more expected. I saw the ducks and geese out on the farmyard....they are quite happy with the situation!
