Zip, zap, run like crazy, chase me, tag--you're it!  These kittens are absolutely nuts sometimes!  Who am I kidding---they are goofy most of the time!  Climbing, running, tussling and zooming by! Healthy kittens make for some really fun times!  They sure do bring a lot of joy here to the Rescue Center.

The kitties and cats and I have thanks to give to you!
Katrina S from FL--donation to FFRC
Judy T and Jackson Jr from CA---Science Diet kitten dry, Friskie can & Friskie pate
Nancy A from NY--donation to FFRC
Jakesmeowmy--donation to FFRC
Janet K from Amsterdam--donation to support FFRC
Donna B from GA--donation for Spiker and Coralie
Brenda R from VA--donation to FFRC to be used as needed
Sharon Y from UK--donation to give Spiker a treat
Vaun/vrs--30 awesome, beautiful blankies for the kitties!

Are you an Amazon buyer?  Remember, if you go to our website at fofrescue.org and click onto the Amazon link!  Anything that you order there, FFRC gets a bit of a kick-back. It can be items for FFRC, yourself or to anyone!  For the month of June, we just received $454.89!!  That's like free money for us!

Thursday we had our Flash Sale, by Mich and Vern. Many thanks to these two for their time and love.  Also I'd like to thank the mods---they are certainly a big part of the success of these Flash Sales. And then.........everything that was sold was donated by different people-----a big thanks! And to all of you that purchased the items---you are wonderful!  We made $1,168 for this sale.  This will go directly onto our vet bills/supplies.  Just this week alone, we had to order supplies that have come to over $2,400.  Tests, medicines, vaccines, wormers---it all adds up.

We have another Giggle Show! These are just fantastic!  The site is:  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc3XF2XU-2Y&feature=em-uploademail     It's the Giggle show Scene 13. Production by FFRC Captures and Captions, Directed by Derecho. Please like the video on utube if you enjoyed it! 

Starting today is our Yum-Faiser--as part of a pre-Catstock fun! It ends Weds. at 9:00am.  You can buy 1 ticket or any amount of tickets. And the prize this time is COOKIES!  And not just any old cookies, but the famous Wolfpatch Cookies--handmade by his very own hands!  Just send a PayPal or a check (but if by check, send me an email with directions).   There will be EIGHT names drawn and announced during Catstock.  Those winners will receive an email asking which type of cookies they would like. Then the winner will receive 4 dozen of fresh made cookies. If you pick the Almond Crescents (highly recommended!), it will be 8 dozen.  The kinds of cookies are:    Oatmeal Raisin, Almond Crescents, Snickerdoodles, Chocolate Chip with Walnuts, Peanut Butter and Butter.  And it just so happens, if you are at Catstock, you'll get to sample!  Big thanks to Wolfpatch. Plus we have another awesome addition to this. Anyone that does $50 or more for this Yum-Raiser, will have their amount doubled by a special anonymous friend!  

Because of the tremendous amount of spays/neuters that FFRC is doing, on our own kittens and cats, we have bills to pay.  The Yum-Raiser will help with this.  

The Persian girls--Julianne and Nsuku--are doing wonderful. Nsuku came up again to the Main Area this morning. Julianne is definitely enjoying being petted.  The two newest kittens, Claude and Cupid are now out of their pens and roaming about in the back Thumper's Room. Their URI is much better, their appetites are good and they enjoy playing.

SIX more days until Catstock. So much fun planned! And if you are a viewer, no worries! We will involve you with the cam views.  You will also be able to see the band--Strawberry Hill.  They are just awesome!  And you'll be able to see the fun under the big tent and the shelter house.  Also, there are a few surprises that you'll see on the cam, just for you viewers!
