New Beginnings
We, at FFF, strive to connect our "formerly friendless critters" with responsible, loving and caring homes. When someone adopts one of our "formerly friendless animals", it brings us great joy. In celebration of those who have found loving and forever homes, we would like to share their stories of their "New Beginnings". |

A NEW BEGINNING...

It was not part of the plan…
 FFF had been contacted by a local friend and veteran public Shelter partner in the Bay area who appealed to us to take two medically challenged cats from a sad situation. The Founder couple of a fellow rescue group had been suddenly taken critically ill and placed 75 rescue cats and dogs. FFF committed to take two of their cats with medical conditions (see S.O.L. story about LILLY and ZINNIA).  In talking with the Shelter vet about these two kitties, she mentioned a sweet senior cat whose days were numbered. This kitty was a staff favorite. Her name was Veronica. She was listed as being picked up as a stray... but was likely dumped. Her age is estimated to be 16 years old.
She was placed on thyroid medication and supportive care at the local—shelter by their compassionate vets and staff. Having a soft spot for the aged and challenged kitties, FFF took Veronica into the FFF Family. There was no intention to place Veronica but instead let her live out her days with our other “sanctuary kitties.”  HOWEVER, a trusted, compassionate friend and long-term senior FFF foster fell in love with Veronica while fostering her. FFF knew this was a match made in kitty heaven! Veronica now lives happily with her new kitty mom, Cathy, to the delight of FFF, and the Shelter staff. Veronica is now no longer friendless and is starting her NEW BEGINNING in a forever home. |

A NEW BEGINNING...

 JASPER'S story began when a compassionate young woman became concerned about a nameless bedraggled and ill kitty that was returning to her yard seeking food and help. FFF and the young woman joined forces to arrange for her to bring him inside and foster him. FFF arranged for a much-needed vet visit that resulted in immediate medical care for his skin condition and upper respiratory infection. He also was neutered to ensure he will be free from any risk. He also was diagnosed with a mild heart murmur and elevated heart values. Despite these issues, the compassionate young woman took him on ... and gave him the lapidary name JASPER as her Mom worked with precious and semi-precious stones.
 Funny ... how do cats know who to come to ... and sense who needs them, too?
 As always, FFF will stand by to help so that JASPER will be a "formerly friendless" kitty no more! |
