FFRC Weekly Blog Week Ending November 30, 2024
Adoptions:
None.
New Cats:
Last week a Fedex driver brought in a big black cat that had been left behind by a family who moved. (see last week’s blog). Also, the cat has now been named: Dutton.
It truly is a season of deliveries as a different Fedex driver was involved in an accident with an elderly couple. The couple had this cat in the car, and gave it to the FedEx driver as she had to later deliver to FFRC. This cat is also black and about a year old. She has been named Bayleigh.
Rumor has it, UPS drivers are looking around for any kitties they can bring to FFRC.
Health Updates:
Sadly, Moogy has passed. Moogy belonged to our friend and volunteer, Marcia. She was with Marcia for 17 years. Marcia passed away a few weeks ago and Moogy came to stay at FFRC with Nyota and the quiet room. She did well for the first few days, but then stopped eating, lost weight and just wasn’t well.
Her condition deteriorated. She passed peacefully and is now with her momma.
Liebchen has a URI and eye infection. She is in her pen to keep her quiet. She actually does well away from the hustle and bustle of the main center. She’s like Emmy and Tigerlily, not very “peopley”, but sweet.
Nyota hasn’t been feeling well for the past few days. She had a slight temperature. She’s been given some meds and has improved slightly. Remember, Nyota is a burn victim and while her burns have healed, she’s always subject to infections. She’s a survivor but does feel a little ‘punky’ every now and then. We’ve penned her to keep a closer eye on her.
Other Updates:
Tuesday, December 3 is Giving Tuesday. This global event encourages those who can to reach out and help charities, organizations, groups that make a difference in communities. It’s a great day to volunteer at your local animal shelter/rescue or maybe a local nursing home or elder affairs center. It’s a day that reminds us of all the good there is in the world. We need these types of reminders every day. Sometimes, it’s best to tune out negativity and celebrate those people and groups who help make the world a little bit better.
If you can, please remember FFRC and give us positive thoughts and encouragement.

During this busy time of year, sometimes we may forget two simple words: Thank You. This is especially important for those in the retail industry. A genuine Thank You can truly turn a bad day into a good day for someone who needs it.
Moogy, at peace with her mom.
