This cooler weather has brought out the "goofies" in the cats and kittens. I do think I've seen almost every cat here zipping and scurrying around, just for the fun of it. Thru the tunnels, up the poles, jumping on the Feline Snoozers over to a window shelf and up to the top kitty walks. So much fun to watch!
We had BOXES last night. We have major thank yous to pass to you all!

As you know, we have begun great work already for our Catathon event. It's June 28th and is fast approaching. We are working on the Baskets and the Big Ticket Items. I was organizing things this morning and stopped to look about me. I am completely in awe of what YOU all make possible for us here at FFRC. The trust you put in us is humbling. And because of that, I try very hard to use every penny to the max. It's hard too to believe that this is Catathon 5. This fundraiser is to help with The House that Jonah Built and the floor for this building. It will be an exciting day!
Dion is now done on site until the floor is done for The House that Jonah Built! The ceiling has two coats of paint on it and the eave spouts/downspouts are in place! He's a head of schedule! Bruce and crew will be here Tuesday to begin the floor epoxy which will take the rest of the week. We are getting close!!
Ada Jane has not eaten real well the last few days but still is interested in life. She is just a real sweetie cat to us all and love her so much. It's amazing to me how she gets these spurts of energy!
Right now, Ahimsa is in the closet in Kitty Campus Room, sharing the bed with Coralie. Both seem very peaceful. So nice to see. Preakness is wonderful--she and Solee love to play and play bump into each other. I think they do it on purpose and then end it by grooming each other!
All is good with the Barnies, Covies and Porchies. Our new boy, Grizzly is a dear. So rough and tough and yet so sweet too. Loves to be petted, as long as his tummy is full! He gets along well with all the Porchies. The Covies will be out 3 times this week, which they love. I often see them wandering around in the Playground area. When it's finally closed, they will already be use to it. We will close it after the floor is done, to allow easy access for the equipment.
Take care. See you soon at BOXES at 5:30!
