A giant thanks to Michlyn who was here for a two day visit. She was gracious to take on a couple Flash Sales, one even at 2:00 a.m. We went thru alot of inventory--and that is wonderful.
Gusti's "uneye" looks wonderful--we apply warm compresses daily and then put on ointment in an effort to keep the sutures soft until their removal. Trucker is also doing great. It does appear that the majority of his incision area is up off the floor. That is a good thing! Dr. Darcy says---let him go and play! We still keep an eye on him constantly though and check that site. He still goes in his pen a few times a day for a nap. I tell him to take it easy, he just runs! Him and Gusti have a good friendship.
Mr. G is doing good. Every day we leave the door open, in the morning, for the cats to go back and forth from the Main Area to the Thumper's Room. We can do this since the population is low back there. This morning, Mr. G came clear up to the Welcome Room office. He's a bit unsure of all the hubbub the kittens create. But, he's getting braver.
We took in a new kitten. She's a beautiful long hair calico girl. She arrived on Thursday. This little sweetie is just 8 weeks old and is much underweight from severe diarrhea and extreme overload of fleas. Fleas are gone now and we're making headway on the diarrhea. Her appetite picked up yesterday! Took 3 full baths to get clear water on her (because of the fleas). Her poor bottom area is very sore with much sloughing away of tissue. Once the diarrhea is under full control, this should start healing.
We have names for CathyKay's kittens! Finally! It's taken me way too long, but they resemble each other so much that I wanted names that I could remember. I think I have it! And there's a trick to each name to help you remember.
Intor -- bl/wh Right foot, Inside toe/Outside toes are black. (name--IN, TO for Out, R for rt foot)
Tinia -- bl/wh tiny white stripe on chin (name-- Ti for Tiny)
Bounty -- bla/wh big white stripe on chin (name--B for big)
Tenacity -- black tiger/wh (name--T for Tiger
Got it? It'll be easy--you can remember their names now!
Missy Maloo has now gained 8 ounces since she has arrived--she's working up! Callie is just not too keen on the other cats, so for her to have a more restful recovery from her spay, she is spending some time in Kitty City. She enjoys people, but the cats....not so much.
You might have noticed that little Columbus has a new friend. Ichobod is here now at the Rescue Center. He's outgrown his foster mama, Peggy. That boy is one ornery little fella--he's here, there and everywhere! He and Columbus have so much fun together!
Our need was great. Our need was heard. Our need was met. We were drastically low on can food. With great pleasure, I can now open the doors and see the shelves are full. My big gratitude to you. In the middle of our need, there was YOU. Thank you.
