Happy Sunday Funday everyone!! It's almost hard to believe we're at the end of January already, but this latest snowstorm sure reminded us it's still winter. The kitties seemed to enjoy sleeping the days way during the cold. The downside to the massive snow is our Humane Ohio transport being canceled. Goodness what a bummer! We had 16 of our kitties going that now has been delayed. Luckily, our wonderfully amazing Dr. Darcy is doing her best to try to squeeze in as many as we can throughout the month of February. It will be a work in progress for sure.
Friends of Felines' Rescue Center is a non-profit, cage free, no-kill feline care facility. Our goal is to adopt our kittens & cats into permanent loving indoor homes and to reduce homelessness, abuse, and euthanasia due to animal overpopulation. We operate solely on the kindness of private donations, and receive no local or federal government funding.

In happier news, I can say that Camvie is feeling a little better. Camvie has chronic upper respiratory infection as well as inflammatory bowel disease. She's had both since she was a tiny baby. We're switching some meds around and seeing how it goes. She has been much more active, and her pain seems much more controlled. Pawscrossed for our sweetie that we always can do what's bestest for her.
Egypt has been experiencing some pain and his remainder back leg. We anticipated this might be something that could happen. Remember that back leg that he's left with isn't the greatest of legs. It does have breaks in it as well that have been healed. We are treating him for any pain, but we will be working on getting him in for an X-ray.
Kiara will also be going up for surgery on Tuesday 1/31 for an amputation of her 5th and possibly 4th toe. In case you missed it, she's had a wound that just wasn't healing. We initially thought it was a broken toe, but a sample was sent in and it was determined to be cancer. Luckily, this type of cancer is generally localized, so keep good thoughts for our sweetie.
We do have TWO new intakes too! Well, kind of new. The first is Murph. He was an FFRC kitty named Cobo that originally was adopted 5/19/2020 but was returned due to peeing issues. He is a beautiful black tiger, and his date of birth is 3/26/2020. He so far has been absolutely wonderful and hasn't pottied outside the box once since he's been here. We're so very proud of our big boy.
The second is Cosmo. This boy is a beautiful, long-haired tabby. He originally came in for a shave and was going to be kept as an outside cat. After we discovered how nice he was, we asked the owner if we would be allowed to find him a home inside. She relinquished him to us on 1/24/2023. We have his date of birth being 5/17/2017. We've done some shave on him so far, but I think we're going to need more. He definitely is in need of a dental. But he's oh so nice of a boy. We are happy to have him and look forward to finding him a wonderful inside home.
Yesterday (1/28/2023) we had three wonderful adoptions. I'm so happy when our babies find wonderful homes. The first two were our sweet Rocky Raccoon and Cumberland. They went to an amazing family that I'm sure will spoil them like crazy.
The next was Wally. Oh, this sweet boy captured his parent's hearts with his adorable wobbles. They already have experience with special needs kitties. He will be in a single cat home, with his very own puppy and a couple of bird friends. I think he's going to do just wonderful.
This last Tuesday we had another wonderful box day! Thank you all so very much for making sure our kit cats never go without! We are so very grateful for you all.
