FFRC Weekly Blog Week Ending November 9, 2024
Adoptions:
Sisters, Bella and Luna were adopted, together. Found and rescued in a trash truck by an observant driver in July, 2024, these newborns survived against the odds and have found their furever home together. They are now part of a family that includes 2 eight year old kitties. Sisters forever. Friends forever. Family forever.
After waiting over 2 years for a family, Cher is now home! She’ll have an 11 year old brother and will keep her name. This sweet girl who bothers no one and now lives in Wisconsin where she’ll get all the cheese and football she wants!
Mr. Adorable, Reiko was also adopted. Reiko came to us from Dr. Darcy’s office in June, after he was found with his brother, Morrison. Sweet Morrison didn’t make it but Reiko has gotten stronger. He’s a shy little boy who has come out of his shell. He’ll begin his new life with a new name, Leo. And just like Leo the lion, he’ll be fearless and courageous. He’ll be the center of attention with all the love in the world given to him.
New Cats:
Oscar = This big boy has been coming around the property for several months and evaded capture. Finally, we prevailed and caught him. He’s now up to date with his vaccinations and will be neutered. He may not like that, but he’ll live a much better life not having to buy Valentine’s gifts for all the girls. He is a handsome big guy. Loves to be petted. He’s a friendly guy. We put him at about 5 years old.
Jack = 13 week old kitten was found while someone was camping. Severe ear mites, fleas, ruptured eye from Herpes. His overall eyesight is still tenuous. Overall fantastic demeanor.
Moogy = Moogy was our friend/volunteer Marcia’s senior kitty. She is 17 and a little lost right now, having lost her mom. We’re going to try her in Nyota’s room with the girls. They all have heartbreak in their history and need friends who understand them. Moogy needs our love, empathy and understanding more than anything. All things she’s gone through, she is doing well.
Health Updates:
Thumbelina had her sutures removed. They were a little tricky but she’s a trooper and fine.
Other Updates:
Spitfire is now eating on his own. He loves his food.
Our farm hand, Ray, had to leave for personal reasons. For now, Cindy will be taking on even more responsibilities. We will look to hire someone to help sometime after January.
Our night time worker, Raven has had to retire due to medical reasons, but she is going to volunteer a few times a week coming in to love, brush and talk to the kitties.
FYI:
"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'" —Mister Rogers
Spitfire or Yoda? Hmmmm
