FFRC Weekly Blog Week ending July 6, 2024
Adoptions:
None. We continue to get requests to take cats in (close to 80 a day) but are well beyond capacity. Please consider adopting one of our cats (or two, three).
Health Updates:
Sadly little Morrison passed. He started not feeling well late last week and was given some treatment but continued to decline. He was taken to the vet and passed. The vet feels he was born with some bowel deformations. Morrison was about 10 weeks old.
Xavi is doing well since his tail amputation. He is doing very well.
Grammy continues to do well. She will go back to the Vet on the 11th to have a further look at her esophagus and they will check, under sedation, for possible polyps inside that may be causing some issues.
Pania goes to Vet on the 11th for a skin condition she has always had that has some flare ups.
Other Updates:
Lots of new kitties:
Percy = 7 weeks old kitten found by himself on the side of the road. His eyes were completely matted shut. His nose matted shut. He has ear mites and one of the worst cases of ringworm seen. He’s been bathed, given medical treatment and is on the road to recovery. His ringworm will take about 21 days to eradicate.
Odie = about a year and half old. Found by Kim, all alone. Super nice boy. He has an eye infection, lots of fleas and some other issues which are all being treated with medicine. (one of the issues I can’t spell but it’s where the testicles don’t descend so he couldn’t have a normal neuter, but more like a spay. He also has some issues with his eyes. He can see, but not sure how far. His eyes are similar to Ming, a cat from several years ago that was simply Magnificent and every Monday was Ming Monday where his adopter would give us updates on him. He was much loved and remains a special kitty in our hearts.
A Real Waste Trash company driver was collecting trash on 7/5/2024. While collecting trash, he noticed movement in a grocery bag. Thankfully he pulled it out and inspected it. Four infant kittens were found inside, umbilical cords attached, eyes and ears closed. They appear to be less than a day old. The infant kittens were brought to FFRC. They are so tiny. Debbie is feeding them every two hours. Please say special prayers for them. Also, special thanks to the hero collector who didn’t just look away, but took steps to save these babies.
Emmy is now out in the main Center. She is tentative but has become close friends with Carmine and likes to follow him around.
Rumpelstiltskin has been coming out more and more to the Center. He’ll play a while (usually with Magellan) then go back to his apartment with Nyota. Nyota is taking applications for an additional roommate.
Gordy, Chowder and Scotland are all doing well in the Cove.
