This is a wonderful week. Theres no snow on the ground (okay, so I know its only October), Octavia only stole 2 packets last night (instead of her usual 5-6), the 3 newbie kittens from Indiana are all pretty and clean (its true--theyve had 3 baths already, but for right now, theyre clean!) and all the cats appear to be very healthy (yes, I know we have a few sneezers, but thats ok). This all tallies up to a great day! The little calico kitten of Viola, Camilla can already walk on the wheel--so cute to see this little one pound kitten making it go!The 6 kittens of Violas are doing great. They are out and about much of the time. Those blurry little beings that you may see dashing on the cam are probably them. That Clayton is extra cute. Clark is extra big. And theyre all extra sweet! Ganache has had two treatments by Dr. Bill and appears to be feeling much better. His alignment was out of whack. Thanks to Dr. Bill for helping our little guy. Pauls cats continue to progress. Turtle, Snoops, HoHo and MiMi now frequently walk about the front Thumpers Room and into the Mail Room. Their confidence is building. His birthday is 7/2/13. Allie, Emily and Daisy also have grown in confidence and are now all loverbugs. Such nice kittens. Kukster continues to bathe the little kittens. We use to worry that he was licking to clean them before eating them (just kidding), but hes doing a great gentle job with them now. I ran across an old picture of Asha when she was almost all light beige--its amazing the change in her color. Shes sitting on my desk right now head butting me. Trustys sore eye looks great today. He is such a great kitten--full of purrs. Barky, Markie and Zarkey are doing terrific. They are eating about every 2 1/2 hours. Theyre still being syringe fed, but sometimes will venture to the dish and eat by itself. Their little tummies are nice and round--known as the FFRC tummy. They get to get down on the floor a couple times a day to play about. Their birthday is 9/14/13. Our new little gold kitten has a name. The visitors we had here, Connie and Hanna were awesome and so helpful. Hanna (our young friend) just joined right in and helped immensely. She really liked this little kitten. So, her name is Pasha--all letters taken from her first and last name. Little Pasha has two jobs this week--one is to gain weight for surgery on Saturday and the other is to get rid of the infection in her open fracture of her right elbow. Were helping her with both of these jobs. Pasha arrived Sunday morning. Her birthday is 8/18/13. We had 3 other arrivals Sunday morning. Actually four arrivals. Three kittens (about 3 months old) and their mama. In this particular case, mama didnt like the kids, so a friend of mine is watching her until her spay. The three kittens are gorgeous. Two boys/one girl. The boys are Dodger (gold/white, long hair) and Harley (white and grey brown tiger, long hair with a white tip tail). The girl is Keeley, a short haired calico who is beautiful. They had an excessive load of fleas and severe diarrhea. Fleas are gone, but it cost them alot of fur. But, that will grow back. The diarrhea is getting less each day. Good diet will help too with this. Their birthday is 7/7/13. This Saturday is our next surgery date. Tentatively we have 16 surgeries scheduled, but that isnt concrete yet. We also will schedule surgery for Pashas leg too for that day. We should have results from Mintos necropsy on Friday--hopefully something will shed some light in regards to his death and how we can combat it. Please.....give yourself a big hug from me. The ustream video commercials are making FFRC some money. I thank you for putting up with the commercials. Revenues from ustream have almost doubled and that is awesome and due to YOU! Thank you for being patient and understanding about those ads! Happy birthday to Fabio. He is 6 years old today. Fabio arrived in the winter of 2009, but was elusive. Then on 2/10/10, he went into a trap I had set. I was so happy to have trapped him. When I walked up to him, all defenses were down and he became the silly pet-able cat that he is today! He was neutered immediately at our spay/neuter clinic and has never left us since. We have a lot of thank yous to give. I am grateful for your support.
