Thursday, June 13

The storm is over for us. I hope and pray that everyone fairs well with these summer storms. Our storm started about 10:30 last night, then blew up into a big storm. Lots of rain and hard wind. I checked on the cats several times and finally went to bed about 12:30. Steve stayed up an extra half hour just to check on things. By that time, things had died down. So....we're all safe and dry and not blown away. All the trees are up, we'll change the bedding in Cat's Cove again so they are dry, a few small branches to pick up, but we faired very well for which I am thankful. 

The new t-shirts have arrived! We'll be getting a picture of them in the store very soon They are very nice. The colors are aqua and a warm grey. They are very good quality. 

We had a report from PetFinders. Here are the top 13 kittens/cats that were viewed. Arden, Polo, Goodness, Ratchet, Whisk, Sara, Zelda, Dove, Maui, Keesha, Octavia, Ruthie Ann, Karena. Wonderful cats!

Please remember to vote for Friends of Felines Rescue Center at  shelterchallenge.com   It was brought to my attention yesterday that I should mention our zip code, which is needed to vote. A good idea! Our zip code is 43512.  Thanks for your vote. 

We had BOXES last night, but it was a bit different! Please forgive me in advance as I know the following list is not complete. In anticipation of the coming storm, I was trying to hurry so I could check the farm yard one more time before dark. Also, the sound was very bad last night and then the internet went down. All was not well in getting all the gifts noted. Please, if this is incorrect or for those that I missed, feel free to e-mail me (ffrcmoss@gmail.com) so I can correct it!

Well, folks, that's all I have, but I know there was more at BOXES, when the net went down. I'm so sorry. Just e-mail me and we'll figure it out!  Thanks.

Gallant had his surgery yesterday. He did really good, just as expected. He has a lot of sutures, two different kinds. The area wasn't healing was removed and stitched together. Then with rubber drains, other holding stitches were put in to ease any tension on the main suture line. He has to wear his collar for a while. The holding stitches come out in 5 days, the others come out in 12 days. He's a bit swollen and bruised this morning, but he is doing good. What an awesome cat. He has endured so much and never with a grumble or growl. We just love him!

Won't be long until the Basket list and the Big Ticket Item list is on the website for you to view, complete with pictures and descriptions. Remember, anything that came in after the 5/20 date, may not show up in the picture as we started taking pics right away. We are so very grateful for these donated items for the Catathon.
