Boys: Lloyd, Katmando, Claude, Ramsay, Rhulani and Branston
Girls: Florence, Bailey O, Cupid and Kukisi
Public--did 1 male and 1 female.
Total of 5 females and 7 males. This now brings our total of spays/neuters for 2017 to 682--404 females and 280 males. Keep 'em coming!
Lucas also had some minor surgery. You may ask.....who is Lucas?! This is a little American Short Hair--brown tiger/white that came on Friday. He's a little boy--4 weeks old, with a birthday of 8/16/17. He was probably tossed from a car--has the traditional marks. Lip injury, and a fairly large laceration of his right lip. He's thin but has no fleas. He had to have 4 sutures put in his cheek/lip area to hold it together---and he's so tiny. Lucas and Klaus are bunking together and spending curl up time together napping.
We also did lots of physicals. These physicals were normal, no problems, good lungs, good teeth, heart, etc.--Asha, Camvie, Elsie, Lamar, Buster, Jones, Kiara, Cutie, Lucy Ann, Magic, Pania.
Here's the notes on the others:
Binkerbell--little tartar, sternal heart murmur 2/6
Farrah--upper right K9 needs attention
Felicity--5 teeth needs attention
Hensley--2 fractured K9's and some tartar
Jones--small amount of tartar, but is ok
Lucie--both upper K9's fractured, no tartar
Paddy Cakes--4 to 5 out of 6 heart murmur, no treatment--shows no symptoms of this
Paddy Purr--lower left 307 tooth needs attention
Sea Turtle--left kidney small, cannot palpate right kidney
Zelda--inguinal hernia needs attention now
Many thanks to Joyce D for the pizzas for surgery and to Gusti for the drinks for surgery day.
We have a surgery date for 2 slots on Friday--would like to send Marilyn and Lloyd. We will weight Lloyd later in week to check his weight to see if he's big enough. Marilyn will have an ultrasound and an EKG before surgery. Her umbilical hernia is quite large--will try and do this repair and her spay.
We've had 4 more adoptions!
Storm went to his new home with Mich and Vern. Already heard from them--Storm adds a whole new energy level to their home! Such a handsome boy! He will be super spoiled!
Anchor & Luella--they went to their new home this morning---all the way to Canada. It's a 7 hour trip but they should do just fine! Luella has been picked out long long ago and finally has her new home. Anchor was chosen as their second cat. So excited for these two!
Florence--she went to her new home this morning also. We lovingly said Florence is a Miss Diva girl, a Princess, a Queen in the making. She's like a bling-bling girl who loves to be told she's wonderful! The family that adopted her is happy about this and will let her be the cat she's destined to be!
The two newbies Branston and Rhulani are doing super. Both are up in the Main Area already and making friends.
The latest update on the Persian mamas!
Julianne had her kittens Friday morning. She had 4 live births. She lost one kitten that was severely deformed--nothing we could do to save it. While Julianne may not be the best bather to her kittens, she is nursing them very well. All have nice round tummies. The first 3 born were white and the last is a calico.
Nsuku had her kittens just this morning. She also had 5 live births. She too lost one kitten--could be called a "mummified baby"/stillborn. That's where sometime early in gestation, a kitten simply stops growing and passes away. A neonatal death. Nsuku gave birth to a black/white kitten, two Paddy colors, a calico and then an all white one. One of the Paddys had a difficult start but with much coaxing started breathing better. All 5 are now doing great.
We have names from the Name a Purrsian! We'll wait a little bit and then give names. The names that we cannot use (we had more than 9 names!) will then go on the Name a Cat List and be used at some time. This I know for sure though--the calico born to Julianne will be named Lynn for our friend and mod that passed away.
I love giving thanks! We had BOXES on Friday evening.
