FFRC BLOG: September 2024

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!

FYI:

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.
