Super busy times here. I have definitely gotten behind and something had to give. Unfortunately, it was the blog. But......let's get this caught up now! Lots of updates-----
Karleen did have her amputation of her rear left leg. She is doing wonderful. Such a beautiful torti with rich deep gold markings on her. Her sutures are out and she can whiz around here like she has extra legs!
We had a Flash Sale on 11/10. This brought in $1038. Our PawMart store is packed and so we have been having weekly flash sales. Many thanks to the Flashy Mods for their extra help. We have another Flash Sale this Weds. 11/24 at 11:00. Lots of great items--would be super for Christmas!
We also had a Fun-Raiser on 11/17. This brought in $1,965. But then, the wonderful bump ups began and brought in $1,147. This made a total of $3,112.
All of our Flash Sales and Fun-Raisers go towards our routine monthly bills. These are a huge help to us and keep us afloat.
Those adopted:
11/6--Veronica, Frumpkins and Cheshire were all adopted together, to the same family. I've seen lots of pictures of them and all seem happy and relaxed. They have two dogs in the family and they all get along just fine!
11/8--Killion was adopted. She is in a wonderful home and is super loved. I've received a note back that she has found her forever home with this family!
11/9--Trix was adopted to our new friends Cindy and Linda. Trix is bonded with Cindy. She is overcoming her shyness and has other cat friends to play with.
11/12--Courage was adopted. She also found the perfect home. She went into a home with 2 other cats and is quite happy!
11/13--Meander was adopted. Oh my......this is such an extra sweet boy who we all extra loved. He's a purr machine. He went into a home that had adopted from us before. They were ready to give another cat a wonderful forever home.
11/20--Bushie was adopted. He ended up having her pin pulled one week early as it was pressing on a nerve and causing discomfort. It took a few days but her appetite returned and she could walk and run with no pain. A person waited patiently for her to be well enough to be adopted!
11/20--Fifer was adopted! He absolutely loved his new mama from the moment he met her! It was ever so sweet. He went out the door, purring his heart out!
I have been asked about Cupid. Yes, he was adopted. We had a few reservations due to him spraying just a few times. But.....he is doing great and has adapted to his new home just fine. The person who shot Cupid with the arrow is not 100% confirmed yet, More than several leads point to a certain person but no warrants have been given.......yet.
We had another HumaneOhio spay/neuter day this past Thursday. We sent up 43 cats. This was made up of 23 females and 20 males. Many thanks to Lynnette, Becky, Gem, Mary Braid and Debbie for your help with this event. It was an interesting check in. One cat busted out of her crate when getting out of the car. Luckily, the owner was able to retrieve her after 20 minutes. We had another crate that came apart coming up to check in. Debbie grabbed it fast and Becky patched it up. We had many crates on this run that needed reinforcements (thanks for all those zip strips that were sent to us!). All cats did great with their surgeries.
We have now sold out of BOTH of the calendars that we offered! Friday night Mary ordered 300 of the monthly type calendars. These sold quickly! And then we had 46 day by day type calendars, designed by Sue OD. These also sold out right away. All pages were filled with FFRC cats (and even barn animals and dogs). Thanks for this support.
My desk has been extra full of cats! I've been putting on all different kinds of videos for the cats. Some are of mice running around, birds feeding, squirrels, deer, coons---all kinds of animals scurrying about. The cats and kittens are sure enjoying it. They pack themselves like sardines on the desk! Shaz and Lena especially loves it and looks behind the monitor for those critters!
This next Saturday, Dr. Darcy will be here. We are planning on getting the Covies and Firehouse cats their physicals.
All is good here. We'd like to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
