 Hi there friends! Happy start of fall! OK not quite yet, but it feels very fall-ish around here. We’re heading into my favorite time of the year and I think the cats favorite time too. We’ve been having the windows open more and more, as it’s been a bit cooler out yet still warm. And the cats love this so very much. I've got quite the hodge-podge of info, so curl up with a kitty and lets dig in! 

Fenceathon projects I’ve been coming along nicely. The A-frame has already been torn down, and now we’re working on the gray barn. The gray barn is very poor, and by tearing parts of it down, we can see how truly bad it’s become. Grizzly our outside boy who lives the gray barn has been transitioning nicely to his new digs, much that’s to Cindy who’s been working with him very much. We’ve also got a new cam computer coming. That was a surprise expense we didn’t see coming but oh so needed. That should be here in a week or two depending on the build and shipping. Then thanks to our wonderful Kim mods will get that switched over very quickly and hopefully everything will run nice and smooth. The fence for the cove is finally in the design stage and almost completed. Yay!! This has taken a bit as we’ve altered this, altered that. We just want to make it the safest possible.

Like always, we’ve had a busy couple of weeks here, but all good things to report. The kittens in the back are finally starting to get over their sniffles, thank goodness. I hate when the babies don’t feel their best. My goal is to have the ones fully feeling better out in the main room on Monday. Look out Volunteers!!! Hehe!

Our wonderful mod Joe took on a challenge suggested by FrankiPablo. The challenge was he should sing Happy Birthday to our mod FlyMom for her birthday 8/13. Well sweet Joe with his swoon worthy Scottish accent accepted the challenge to raise money for FFRC's medical bills. And boy, you all didn't fail!!! We raised $2205.12!!! WOWZERS!!! We are so very very grateful for this extra boost!!! BIG HUGS all around and special thanks to Joe for all his practices in the shower this last week to prepare!!

We’ve had a couple adoptions in the last two weeks, Marco and Julius went to their new home together on August 8th and I’ve gotten lots of updates that they are just doing wonderful!!! I couldn’t be happier.

Medical updates: Coralie had gone to Dr. Darcy for a check up. Her tumor that was discovered in November 2020 is still there. We've changed up her meds a little to make her more comfortable. All in al, Dr. Darcy, and I think all of us are amazed she's made it this long. She is an absolute fighter and we'll cherish every day we get with her. Kiara also went in for a check up. She is doing well on some new meds after discovering she has pancreatitis. She's in no pain and really just doing fantastic. We are so very relieved and happy. Mayor Anony had his dental as well and that went wonderful. He had 7 teeth removed and after several days of pain meds, he went back to the cover, which he was VERY happy about. 

Jacci update: "All is good. Been to the ocean beach and the bay beach this week. In 40 days is our family vacation, like we always have done. All family is coming! Dogs want to go to the doggie park daily. Yesterday made an amphibian/reptile garden in our back yard. I'm interested in volunteering to help pack kids meals. All is good but my heart surely misses the resident cats. Our cats and dog are doing good. Miss you all. All three of us humans also doing good. You all take good care." 

Boxes, boxes and boxes have been coming. We just love box day around here. It's always great fun. We have very many thanks to give. We are so blessed with such wonderful supporters!
