Part of Marcy's note is: "Life is life. The old cliche' that "life isn't perfect" is REALITY. An imperfect face or body or entire being, as long as it has a quality of life, is loved and loving, is a being worthy of continued care and love in return, whether it be a human or a cat or whatever. Reality is rarely perfect."
Froggy is perking along! He's had 5 real good days in a row. We have so many kitties in the back Thumper's Room. They are a work in progress. The lice is gone, fleas are gone, tummies are starting to fill up. The wounds are healing, but I'm afraid the gold/white one and the tiger/white one will require surgery. We are still in the healing phase and will address the next step soon.
Trucker is doing a tiny bit better each day. He's a bit more perkier today but it's obvious he's not up to speed yet. His appetite is slowly slowly increasing. And the good news---he had a poo this morning. And it's a poo to be happy about---softly formed! I truly believe if his tail didn't swish in it, it wouldn't be so messy for him. I've talked to Dr. Darcy daily about him so she is up to date.
We took in a new kitten two days ago. She is a torti/tiger, short hair and found by a volunteer, all by herself. She is about 4 1/2 weeks old. Poor baby--out there all by herself. She has a "Gusti-eye". Yes, almost as bad as what Gusti's eye was. She's on soreness meds and antibiotics and topical ointments. In time she will have surgery to remove the bad eye. Right now it appears the other eye is good.
Mac and Cheese made it! They were adopted together into a really wonderful home. They left on Tuesday. We will have another adoption Saturday morning.
Busy times here but never too busy to say a big thanks to you all for your support!
