Saturday, July 6th

We're all ready for a busy day! Lots of visitors, a couple adoptions and surgery today!

We have Neil and his daughter Sarah here. They will be leaving this morning with Sarah's two new adoption kittens--Danika and Kohart. Pixel and her new family arrived home safely to Penn and Teller! We also have Susan/Schinn and vrs1/Vaun visiting us. Both are moderators--I sure enjoy meeting face to face the moderators! Kathy/Justme and Joni are here also visiiting. Kathy will be adopting Zsa Zsa and will be leaving tomorrow.  Busy visiting weekend!

Today also is surgery day. We have a full surgery list--lots of boys to be neutered and a fair amount of girls to be spayed. We will also have Dr. Darcy check on Catmandu. He seems to be better. I'm wondering if one of his wires has been irritating the tissue in his leg? She will also do an eye enucleation on Zest, the calico Sphinx. This is a completely atrophied eye, has been like this for 2 years. We've only had her for maybe 5 weeks, but it's time to relieve her of this problem. It's a bothersome "eye" to her. Dr. Darcy will also give an evaluation of Ming. So, busy day. Pizza lunch will be provided by Joyce S/D. Thank you!

We just sent another truckload of packages/boxes out yesterday for the Catathon orders! Slowly but surely, we're getting to the end! If you haven't sent your payment yet, please help us out and send it in so we can ship your order to you! Thanks! We're anxious to get the Mail Room completely done in organizing it--we're almost there.

It was like Christmas last night! Many thanks to you all! Box time was not "as usual". Please forgive me for any errors. As always, feel free to e-mail me with any corrections.

Please remember to check out Goodsearch.com   This is a great way to help FFRC!

The cats are all just fine! Ming is cruising about quite a bit. Right now Pumpkin and Ginger are plowing into each other. Then licking, licking each other followed by another cat attack! Not a care in the world! Preakness is fast asleep on my desk and Asha is also curled up right beside me. Dovie is busy at the water bowl, while watching Titana and Judson playing with a jingle toy. Yesterday was one of the craziest days for the kittens--constant playing and picking, but oh what fun!

Such peacefulness--Walter, Hankster, Fiona and Patches
