Been a very busy time. I will try to get you all updated.
Phoebe--She had her vet appt. on Friday. We had good results. All her snorting and snoring was from a rather large polyp that was at the very far back of her soft palate. Took a bit of undoing to get it removed. Since then, I have not heard her breathing those loud sounds! She's on antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory for a week. If all is going well and she starts showing a weight increase, we will spay her on Saturday. She also had a full nasal passage flush done.
We took in a new kitten that was seen to be run over (accidently) by a vehicle in a local business parking lot. His name is Peanuts. He is 4 months old and is white with black pokie dots on him. His birthday is 8/2/16. He has multiple bruises and a few puncture wounds. Those will heal just fine. His front legs are a problem. He arrived here 12/9 and went to the vets the next day. An x-ray was done. His front right leg has some radial nerve damage. For this we can only do 2 things--anti-inflammatories and time. Time will tell how this leg will end up. In a week, we should know how the final healing will be with this front leg. His front left leg has a full fracture at the top of the humerus. Peanuts will be making another trip back to the vets on Monday morning for surgery to pin that leg. We are hoping for recovery of both legs. Time will tell. He is also on soreness meds.
We have had 4 more adoptions since last blog!
Grisho and Asher were adopted together on 12/7. They went to a great home. We've already heard back from them and both are doing good!
Trill was adopted 12/9 to my granddaughter, Ashlyn and her fiance Josh. Ashlyn has loved Trill from the beginning of his arrival here. I'm quite sure Trill will be very loved!
Mandisa also was adopted 12/9. She went to a couple that has time to devote to this sweet cat.
Just wanted to let you know, with a heavy heart, that our sweet Breanna passed away this morning. It's been obvious this past 3-4 days that she hasn't been doing very well. This morning, she made that decision by herself. It's with sadness, yet a little relief that this kitty is no longer suffering. I know in my heart she knew she was loved. I appreciate our volunteers who helped care for her--holding her, making sure she got to the litterbox, cleaning up after her when she didn't get to the box, for making sure she ate and most of all--for letting her know she was loved. You are truly the best volunteers anywhere. And thank you all "out there" too for loving her from afar.
For the first time in a very long time, we have the back Thumper's Room empty. That means the 3 kittens (Lucy, Ethel and Betsy) are now up in the Main Area. Last night was their first night to be out of their room. We also brought up Chester, Spiker and Gavin, the 3 CH boys. They spent parts of 2 days in Cat's Corner Room to help them acclimate to being in the Main Area. They are now up all the time in the Main Area and are doing great.
Chester is a fun cat--he's here, there and everywhere. Everyone's friend! Gavin is a tiny bit shy but he sure likes cruising about! And Spiker--he has just fit right in like he's always been here. These are 3 very nice teenager kittens who are very sweet.
We are in the middle of our December Fun-Raiser! It ends Monday morning at 9 am. BOXES will be Monday evening at 5:30 and the Fun-Raiser will be at 6:00. Check out our Chatters FB page for details or watch the cam and see the video that is ran periodically! Thanks so much!
