His date of birth is 6/16/25 and arrived at FFRC on 9/1/25. He was found roaming the streets and was reluctantly brought to FFRC. He has been renamed as Oliver (Ollie). Oliver’s new siblings (a brother and a sister) are both approximately 5 years old. Oliver has the biggest and most beautiful eyes. Unfortunately, Rochambeau, was returned on Friday, October 7 th .

She is a purr baby biscuit-maker. Her name was submitted by Angela G. Thanks!   Health Updates: Allen is scheduled for his full dental on 10/20. Alma update: Sorry for the misunderstanding, I should have been clearer regarding Alma’s meds. We have only stopped giving her meds that were not serving her (from Megan). She is doing pretty well. Her intestinal issues seem to be much better. She is eating GREAT! She also has been very playful and of course, loves the snuggles from Marilyn. Finney is now undergoing FIP treatment, but don’t tell him. He feels just fine and is as playful as ever. His treatment should be complete on 12/6/25. Holds: River: River will be going to her family as soon as she finishes vaccines! She will be going to a local family. Getting closer to her adoption. Nigel (few more vaccines needed) & Ruffles (almost ready): Local family with the cutest grandson will be adopting soon. They came in with the expectation of adopting only Nigel but also fell in love with Ruffles. The adoption date has been scheduled for 10/24/25. Ludwig: Ludwig will be going to his furever home on 10/18/25. Hopefully, the adopters have plenty of springs for Ludwig to play with. He loves them!!! Ludwig is a black cat with white paws We also have several people who are approved and will be working on dates to pick up their kitty! Stay tuned!

Current Needs: Desperately low on paper towels, little soups, bisques, appetizers, bleach, Lysol, Odoban and crunchy treats—good for kitties and peacocks! Other Updates: Laura, PoohBear’s Mom, started working with FFRC on 10/6. She recently moved to Defiance. Welcome!!! The Humane Ohio Spay & Neuter Day was another success. We sent 23 females and 20 males. This includes our friends Nigel, River, Rosa Maria, Tygra and Starlight! Peapod and Fudge are now eating straight kitten food, even though they are just babies—they think that they are all grown now. Both are well over 1 pound. Their fur color is called a smoke coat. A smoke cost is a genetic, permanent coat pattern where each hair has a dark tip and a white or lighter-colored root, giving the cat a silvery or pale appearance. Thanks to viewers and mods that provided the info on the coat type. River was formerly listed as a boy, but whoops, she’s a GIRL!!! Megan will be on vacation from 10/13 to 10/17. Have fun Megan!
