Today
Tshimbo will go to the vet’s office for his dental. We had another cat
scheduled for today but his teeth are much worse so he’s a priority. The other
cat is already rescheduled. Kwan will also take a ride to the vets office for
multiple skin scrapings. As soon as we get the nod from the vet that we have
fully treated him for his mange, he can play with others. He KNOWS there’s
kittens on the other side of the door to the back Thumper’s Room and he wants
in there so badly. His time will come soon.
We have

It is
with a very sad heart to let you know that our Paddy Cakes has passed away and
has joined his brother Paddy Purr. I
received a call last night about 11:30. I immediately went to the rescue center
but barely had 30 seconds to give Paddy Cakes a kiss and to tell him he was so
loved before he passed away. Purr was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and died
suddenly on 6/21/18. Cakes was diagnosed
with the same cardiomyopathy the end of July and has been treated each day for
this. They passed a mere 2 months of each other. These twin brothers have been
a part of FFRC since their birth date of 7/31/10. I simply cannot imagine them
not being here. As Dr. Darcy says—“Each day with a cat that has cardiomyopathy
is a gift as unfortunately they can simply die so quickly. There was nothing
else that could have been done. Cakes had some good days because of the meds
and fortunately neither suffered. This is one area that we can’t win the full
battle because the heart is core and so vital to life”. I have no words of comfort as my heart hurts
for the loss of these two boys. I can
say though…..that both Purr and Cakes knew beyond a doubt that they were so
loved by many in the world. They had our hearts and we had theirs. They were
also our St. Paddy boys and they enjoyed that celebration. Hug your pets—each day
is a treasure to be with them.
