FFRC Weekly Blog Week Ending October 26, 2024
Adoptions:
Little, itty Boo was adopted! Our little Boo girl is just 3 months old, and had been surrendered to our Vet. A family came in and fell in love with her! She is going to be spoiled.
Yellowstone finally got his own home! (this was Sunday, Oct 27 but it’s in the w/e blog Oct. 26th)
Yellowstone was one of the Y kittens dumped on our property in March, 2023. His sister Yamina was adopted last year and is happy, healthy in her home. His other sister, Yama, waits for her own home (we know you’re out there).
Yellowstone picked his own family when they came to visit. They adopted Boo and then came back a week later and took home Yellowstone. He will be loved and spoiled by his new/forever family! Congratulations to our special guy.
New Cats:
See health updates.
Health Updates:
The new kitty we took in at the end of last week has been named Tulip.
She also has nystagmus (involuntary eye movement), but is improving. She still has a head tilt but is now flea free and on meds that will help with any inner ear infection she has that may be causing her head tilt and eye issue. She is such a happy kitty who loves, loves, loves being petted. She is a purr machine.
Moo Moo (girl with a prolapsed anus) is doing so much better with just a few days of meds. Her stool is getting a little firmer and she’s healing nicely.
Delta (girl found on porch bleeding from private area) She was brought up to Dr. Darcy and they did surgery (and a spay) and she’s healing nicely.
Spitfire continues to get better and bigger. Sadly his little friend, the little kitten (Marsh) brought in very bad shape didn’t survive 24 hours. But the baby knew love in his final hours and did not pass alone.
Other Updates:
Our FFRC family lost a great friend, volunteer and special person as our beloved Marcia M. passed away after a long illness. She was a volunteer for many years and will be missed by everyone. May she rest now and be at peace, she has earned it.
We had a Halloween fundraiser to help pay for our recent spike in medical needs. (can you believe cats come to us sick and injured and demand to see a doctor?)
We really didn’t know what to expect and our Friends blew us away with their kindness and generosity.
We raised $6,285 in ticket sales for your favorite Ghoul kitty. Then our cammers bumped it up $2,415 for a total of $8,700. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

FYI:
Halloween can be a time to scare people or a time to have positive, clean fun that young and old can enjoy. Instead of a ghost story, how about telling the story of A Giant Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. The world is scary enough, let’s smile this Halloween!
Rest in Peace, Marcia.
