 FFRC Weekly Blog Week ending September 21, 2024

Adoptions:

 It was a great week for adoptions!

Friday began with sweet little Roo getting adopted by loving parents who helped care for her when she first came to Dr. Darcy’s office in July.  Remember Roo was found near some road construction with her front legs needing to be amputated at the knee.  We’ve come to love this little one who never let her injuries slow her down.  Now she gets a loving home to grow old with!


Next both Moon and Stratton went home with our volunteer Ella.  She loves all the cats but these two found a special place in her heart.  Stratton has waited two years for a forever home and now has one!  Moon was found with her 3 siblings who were orphaned on the side of the road when their mom was hit by a car.  They were only a few weeks old and now Moon graduates to her very own home with her new brother, Stratton.


The day ended with Wixx finally getting a home after waiting for two years!  She is shy and laid back and for now is getting a home where she will be the center of attention and will receive one on one love.


It was a wonderful Friday!


New Cats:

Silver and black tiger (around 5 months) found outside someone’s home.  She has a slight injury to her tail and is not yet fixed.  She’s a little shy but very laid back.  Very calm little kitty cat.

Not quite a cat:   We have a 10 year old sweetie who Megan met while visiting the humane society.  His name is Gizmo and he’s a…wait for it….a dog!  A Chihuahua.  He has the cutest little face (tongue sticks out).  Megan couldn’t say no, so he will spend time both in the Center and at Megan’s home.  He’s been introduced to the cats and is fine with them.  Although most of the cats are bigger than he is.  They are all very curious about him.  Welcome Gizmo!


Health Updates:

Alma appears to be eating a little better.  She’ll go up to see Dr. Darcy next week for an update.  

 
Other Updates:

Our Chat Moderator, MK, is visiting.  She is helping out tremendously with lots of stuff! 


We will be having a fall flash sale on Wednesday, September 25th at 11:00 a.m. Lots and lots of great stuff! MK will help out with this sale.


Financial: 

Fun-raiser held and raised $4,840 (and counting).  This will go towards some bills and medical bills. 

Holds

Bella

Luna

Snooks

Sunny = Monday at 4:30 ish

FYI: 

As seasons change in many places, remember to start to think about those areas facing winter.  Think about donating old blankets or towels to those in need.  Homeless shelters, local charities can always use slightly used clothing and footwear.  And local animal groups can always use blankets and linens as well as other items that may help in keeping animals warm and safe during whatever Mother Nature has in store.

FFRC Weekly Blog Week ending September 14, 2024


Adoptions:

 Sisters Birch and Maple were adopted, together.  They are the first of Brandi’s babies to get their own home. Their brothers Apple and Elm are still waiting for someone to come on in and bring them home.


New Cats:


Black cat, about 2 months old, was from Dr. Darcy’s office.  She’s a talker and very sweet.

 

Health Updates:
Alma continues to be watched.  She’s getting older and losing some weight.  She’s always been able to make it to the litter box, but recently has had some issues in that area.  Nothing to worry about but be aware she is getting older and in addition to CH has some other physical challenges (Thyroid issues, Mega Colon issues).  We are always ensuring her quality of life is best for her.  Every day is a gift with her and we are blessed to be part of knowing and loving that gift  As Dr. Darcy once said “sometimes you get to the point where you are giving meds to the cat and not for the cat.”.


Choco (lazy back legs)  is doing well.  He’s making a little progress with his leg.


Sahara is doing well physically but really doesn’t like other cats so she’s still in the back.  She is a little grumpy around other cats.


Astra is doing well but is a little overwhelmed by her new environment.  For now she is with Zavi and the two seem to be enjoying each other’s company.


Other Updates:

Our Welcome Fall fun-raiser is now going on thru Tuesday with drawing on Wednesday at noon.  Tickets are $5.00 There are 8 wonderful items.  Specific info on Facebook and YouTube.

Holds
Snooks is on hold.(still needs spay)
Roo is on hold.  (still needs spay)
No hold on Luna and Bella but strong interest (fingers crossed everyone!)

Lots of potentials!

FFRC Weekly Blog Week ending August 31, 2024


Adoptions:

 None this week


New Cats:


On 8/19 a very sick kitty was found by our Friend Connie.  She had found her in a terrible state, bone thin, malnourished, dehydrated, infested with fleas, a deformed or injured right paw and pregnant.  This poor kitty was given the name Mattriane.  Sadly, she passed several days later.


A 3 month old, black, female kitten was found wandering around on the property by Cindy and Ray.  She appears to be hungry, but in good physical condition.


That same day, Carmine found a one month old kitten, male, blackish/brownish/grayish.  Her back legs are ‘lazy’ or delayed. She can use them but kinda ‘drags’ them.  She also has a small scrape on her lower spine.

 


Health Updates:

No updates due to Megan vacation.  All meds and medical issues being done by Lynnette.
