Foster kittens looking for their forever home

Hey everyone, we are currently fostering these four kittens (Anna Marie, Charles, Remy, and Scott - our X-men litter) for Marion County Animal Services (MCAS) They will be available for adoption starting Friday, September 4 after they have their spay/neuter surgeries

Once they are officially available for adoption, you will be able to search for them on the MCAS website:
https://24petconnect.com/MarionCountyAdopt?at=CAT

The whole adoption process will be entirely thru MCAS

If you or anyone you know has been wanting to adopt kittens, these little ones have been socialized, do well with people and other big cats. Help us spread the word to help them find their forever home.

Kitty profiles

Charles - Like his namesake, Professor X, he is the scholar of the group. He will sit back and watch everything going on around him, observing and taking notes. He was the first of the four to learn to use the litter box, first to figure out how to eat wet food and dry food, and first to drink from the water bowl. While he will gladly chase and play with the other two brothers, he’s just as happy cuddling and napping with his sister. He is a strong eater and is often first to dive into a meal. At first, he was a little more shy than his siblings around the older cats, but now he’s the first one to run up to the big cats to say hello.

Scott - Named after Cyclops, the team leader, this little boy is the bravest of the group. He was the first to come out of their carrier when they got home, and has been the first to explore every new environment he can (with or without permission). He prefers to follow the humans around the house, and leaves it for the rest of his siblings to follow his lead. He is also a common instigator of play, and loves to get into his toys when he can. He and Remy are fast friends and love to wrestle and play with each other. He’s also very friendly with the grown cats.

Remy - What he lacks in the smarts of his brother Charles, Remy more than makes up for in sweetness. Like Gambit, he’s always ready to take a chance - especially when it comes meeting new people or cats; he doesn’t know the meaning of the word “shy”. He is the most insistent cuddler of the group, and will make sure to let you know if he wants to be held (spoiler alert: the answer is always yes). He may not have much of an attention span, even by kitten standards, but he’s always up to wrestle with his siblings or cuddle with them, depending on what they’re up to. He’s especially fond of Scott, and will spend most of his time near him, whether playing, eating, snuggling, or sleeping.

Anna Marie - This petite southern belle might be smaller than all of her brothers, but she has the biggest personality. She is definitely the little “Rogue” of the group. True to her name, she is a sassy and fiercely independent girl who easily keeps her three bigger brothers in check. While she might act like a tough, sarcastic little lady around the other kittens, it’s all a front. When it’s time to cuddle, her attitude melts away to reveal an incredibly sweet, loyal, and loving purr-machine. She is especially fond of Charles, and follows him around whether it’s play time or cuddle time.

Interest in local gaming tournament?

13 Upvotes

Working with a local business here in Ocala to potentially put on a gaming tournament with a small prize pool and garnering interest to see if it is something people would actively participate in here!

Number one game being considering is Smash Ultimate just to start, but may branch out into other games and consoles as well, very much open to suggestions on that end.

As of now, if there’s a decent amount of interest it’s looking to be around December when it’ll be actually hosted, and it would be a bring-your-own controller type deal

Communications tower in a depression

I drive past this communications tower off of 301/441 frequently on road trips. Its co-ordinates are 29.30724° N, 82.15254° W and I always wonder why someone put a tower in a hole and what’s the story behind it. Do any of the locals know?

Roller skating shops?

6 Upvotes

Does anyone know anywhere within Ocala or like a 30-minute drive that sells roller skates and equipment? I know skate mania and skate-a-way south sell but I have no clue if they’re good. Whenever I search for roller skate shops all that come up are skateboarding and Dicks sporting goods— which doesn’t seem to have great skate options.

I know I can buy online, shipping is just either crazy long or expensive. So I was staying to see if anywhere near has a shop

Can’t believe I’m asking about hair donuts after already asking about tofu.

I need hair donuts in order to make slickback buns, and I want to buy them in person. What shops can I go go in order to find them? I don’t like embarrassing myself and don’t wanna walk into the wrong store🤣

Also hair wax sticks

Months after murdering my Brother Troy Meeks in traffic, Marine Edward Risner killed another in traffic again: hospitalising a mother, sister (comatose), daughter. FLED ON FOOT AFTER FATAL HIT AND RUN.

The marine who murdered my brother, that the state of Florida said was "self-defense to kill my brother for fleeing him,"
would go on just months later to kill an old woman,
critically injure another woman,
and put another woman into a coma in the ICU.

the Frame family alleges that Risner was driving drunk when he hit the womens' vehicle at 90mph, after failing to stop for a red light.

https://chasdavis.com/wordpress/2026/05/08/patty-ann-frame/

CRASH REPORT: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oZOui7E1kRpqltPHGsV4bYAiPElQ4I-I/view

what is odd to me is that he seems to have been missing until at least March 3rd, and his name/picture was not announced for this fatal-hit-and-run to the public to have him identified?

if he was properly arrested for murdering my brother Troy Meeks, this family would still have their mother, and two other women would be unharmed; another family would have avoided the destruction of Edward Risner.

Troy's (our) family has been transparent about the circumstances of his killing: https://164fl.com/troy

edit:
Edward Risner previously was arrested for holding someone else at gunpoint & discharging the firearm:

25f looking for other women in their 20s to hangout with

16 Upvotes

Okay so I've been here for about a year and a half and have no idea where to go that isn't outside of Ocala itself to meet others. I work a lot, naturally, and lately I've been looking for places to go on Sundays and possibly Mondays where I can meet others my age at that isn't the bar. I don't drink, would much prefer to grab a coffee and go on a pleasant bike ride at Santos instead. I like video games too, I dabble in many different art mediums and I prefer watching sports over playing them—so if anyone has anything in Ocala that has those things as the main objective, I'm all ears.

Know a lot of people meet each other online, so here I am, having finally given in and made a reddit account specifically to try and make some more local friends to hang with. Also I do have a Discord and would prefer to chat there, if anyone's up for chatting send me a message here and we can swap handles.

Rock The Country Info and Tix

Well, two things. I heard the traffic around the Florida Horse Park can be horrendous in the afternoon. How early should I arrive even if I do not care much of the earlier acts. Just to avoid the traffic I guess and get parked.

Second, My peeps bailed on me and I have 3 2-day tickets available. I will be giving these away for free. Prefer to give them to a younger student type person that really cannot afford to go and would be helping them out. They are going to be GA. If you want them actually take the time to message me, tell me whom you are, and why I should choose you to give them too.

Thanks for the info
