 Hi everyone! Happy Caturday! It is beautiful here and the Porchies and Covies are just loving it and brought a few ‘gifts’ to thank us. LOL. We’ve got the windows open at the center and are just loving the fresh air.

Boy, lots of catching up to do! Friday the 15th Braveheart went to his new home and from all reports is doing great. He’s so loved and spoiled already. Egypt and SteVen we're also adopted---by me! They will stay here until such a time when I can possibly bring them home. I love them both so much!

We also had two new intakes. First was Willow. She came in on 4-18-22 and her birthday is 4-18-18. She’s missing the lower half of her hair from a flea allergy. We got rid of those nasty fleas! She was found by a friend of our volunteer Kathy R.


The second new intake was Herman. A handsome intact male. He arrived 4-21-22 and his birthday is 11-22-20. He was overall healthy but HUNGRY! Once he had a full day of food and water, he quickly found his heat pack and bed and zonked out. He was found roaming around my house asking for help. Of course we had to oblige, he asked so politely.


Our quarantined kitties are doing well. There colds seem to be improving, but you can see it cycling through them all. So they’ll be in there for a little bit. Rest assured they are eating and playing great! All good signs! I’ve been checking with Jacci almost daily (sorry Jacci LOL!) for advise and she’s just a wealth of knowledge! So grateful for resources from her and wonderful Dr. Darcy.

Speaking of Jacci, I have an update! Steve, Jacci and Donna are doing some gardening and enjoying it!  Trees, flowers, veggies!   Doing this for the hummingbirds and butterflies. But jacci is still also Growing rocks!  Also feeding the birds and squirrels!!Have found a purple Martin colony of 100,000 birds. So love to watch them! Dogs and cats are good. Abner is as tall as Bolly.  Make almost daily trips to the dog park or ocean with them!

Today is the start of our funraiser! YAY!! These funraisers help cover our day to day expenses like staffing, utilities and medicines. We are so grateful for your support, AND to the amazing people who sent things in to sell. We have so many awesome goodies, perfect for Mothers Day coming up! The funraiser starts today and ends at  9am on the 27th. We'll be going the drawing for the winners at 1:00pm FFRC time. So get your tickets in!
