Ranch Property - Yes.....It's True

We are so close in securing a 'forever home' for the Forever Home Feline Ranch!  Sure, there are a couple more hurdles to jump, but I feel we are going to make this last home stretch in getting an actual Ranch property.  This is an exciting and nerve racking time, but I wouldn't miss it for the world.  Once all of the details have been confirmed, the details of the property will be all over the front page of our web site and probably every piece of literature we give out.  So, you might be asking yourself....."what are the hurdles?"  Well, actually, there is only one hurdle - finances.  I would really like to go to closing with not only the down payment, but a little extra for renovations to the first building that will house our Ranch cats.  If you have thought, at one time or another, that what we are doing is a "good thing" (to quote Martha Stewart), please consider donating to our capital campaign.  100% of your donation will go into the Ranch property.  We have a long waiting list of cats that needs homes.  Consider being part of a new venture in animal rescue and care......a sanctuary.....a Forever Home!

Pepper the cat takes over the post!

Hi,
This is pepper the official ranch spokescat.  I decided to blog so that my mom Brenda, the President of FHFR could take a break.  Plus I got the idea from this cat named Romeo.  He is my inspiration.  I figure if he can do it, so can I.  Check out his blog at romeothecat.com. 

I would like to talk good egg versus bad egg.  So the other day my mom the Prez gets a call from a vets office asking for help finding a temporary home for a dog.  Really!??  FHFR is pretty much about the cats, although they do help dogs with food and vet care asistance.  I personally think cats rule and dogs drool. LOL.  My mom sprung into action sending out emails to what I refer to as the good eggs or the angels to animals.  Someone mentioned this couple Kate and Ed Hein.  Thank goodness for the Heins (aka the good eggs).  Kate and Ed Hein are going to temporarily foster a puppy named Lady.  Lady's owners found her wandering the streets of Carbondale.  They took her in and moved to Springfield.  Apparently they thought everything was cool until the landlord changed his mind and decided that no dogs were allowed.  Lady's owners were forced to take her to animal control.  The Heins stepped in and pulled Lady from Animal Control and will foster her until the humans can find a new place to live.  I, Pepper salute Kate and Ed Hein.  You are angels to the animals!

My role here in the FHFR world is the official spokescat.  I bring awareness to the humans regarding the plight of cats.  I attend many fundraisers and talk to the humans about what the ranch is doing to help the cats.  I am scheduled to be at Shoetopia on Thursday 9/23.  I would love to attend the Oreck fundraiser on 8/28.  If you would like to see me there send the humans an email at feline_ranch@yahoo.com or respond to this blog.  Tell them to bring me to Oreck.

Next weeks blog will be about little Mark and Heather- good eggs versus bad eggs and a happy ending.

Meow for now and purrs to the people!
Pepper
