What a great day!  We will have a week of upper 80's. Yes, the humidity is high but what a way to usher in the Fall!  Leaves are turning, flowers are getting tired--a truly beautiful time of the year.

Our Flash Sale on Friday was super! We made $1,539.  Steve has already written off some bills and have the envelopes in the mail! I thank you for helping us with this. Thanks to those that donated the items, to the mods who are awesome at helping with these sales, to those that purchased or tried to purchase the items. And a big thanks to Mich and Vern for doing the sale! I am grateful.

We have more thanks to give too!

Elisabeth W from GA--donation to FFRC

We had another two adoptions! Laverne and Claude! Two wonderful kittens. They went to the same home and was much waited for. Their new life as belonging to a family and a home have begun! 

Update from the vets on Friday. Laverne was spayed. Bailey O had her tail amputation. She has approximately a half tail and she feels better. That must've hurt her as she is much bouncier now! Such a sweet girl! 

And the best news of all--Marilyn is now spayed and her umbilical hernia is repaired--no more worry on that. She had an EKG done. More info on that later but it was safe enough for her to have an anesthetic! She came back to FFRC with a port in just in case we needed to quickly administer meds. But, she bounced back so fast and was rearing to go, so the port was removed fairly quickly and off she went! 

We have names!!  I want to thank all those who participated in sending in a name and donation to name the baby persians. We have 9 kittens and received 32 names.  I whispered to the babies different names for their wishes.......yep, it's true!  Obviously, we have far more names than babies. All those names not picked will go over to the regular Name a Cat list.

Julianne:
Calico girl          Lynn
White girl           Paris
White girl           Mally
White girl           Marshmellow

Nsuku:
Calico girl          Purlissa
Bl/wh girl           Moana
More tan boy     Gingersnap
tan/white boy     Arvin
White boy           Shalimar

All babies and mamas are doing wonderful.  They were weighed yesterday--each and every baby has a good weight gain.

Please remember that I will be leaving early on the 29th and won't get back until the 8th early.  Because of no BOXES during that time, if it's possible, maybe box sending could be minimized so we don't block up the office! Thanks for understanding. 

Remember our website!  It's awesome! If you haven't visited it yet, it's at fofrescue.org   You'll enjoy it!
