I don't like these kind of times--too hard on the heart. As you know, we lost our August last week.
And now we have lost Dizzy. She passed away yesterday, 11/23. Dizzy arrived 8/13/19 from Dr. P's office. We knew she had severe stomatitis and was treated for that. About a month and a half ago, Dr. Darcy rechecked her and it was realized that she also had mouth cancer--and was progressive. Dizzy was checked again a couple weeks ago. We knew then it was just a matter of time. But, she surprised us all and ate really good for 2 weeks and actually gained weight. But yesterday, the cancer tissue interfered more with her swallowing. She didn't eat yesterday and last night had a trouble swallowing . It was time to let her go. She was held, kissed and left so peacefully. A hard loss. I'm glad she was with us as I feel she knew she was well loved.
We had also taken in a wee kitten yesterday, 3 1/2 weeks old with probable CH. He was born in a barn, a single kitten and his presence was not really known about until Saturday, yesterday. There apparently was a big cat fight in the barn which drew attention to this kitten by the family. The people there noticed his imbalance and brought him in. We named him Martin. The short time he was here, was a bit rough--he cried......alot. And he just didn't have much strength to nurse properly. He was kept warm, had his Purple Purring Mama and given formula, as he would permit. He passed away this morning, in the early hours as I was holding him.
Let's hope all goes more smoothly now. These are heartbreakers for sure. But, even knowing what is probably going to happen, FFRC is honored to take these kitties/cats in and at least show them the love that is in the world. Never do we want anything to pass without feeling that special love.
We also took in 3 new kittens Friday. They were brought in because they could no longer live in the apartment complex that they were born at. All 3 are sweet, born 8/10/19 and are 15 weeks old. Their names came from the Name a Cat list.
Sita--black with white diamond, armpits and tummy, female
Weezie--all black tiger, male
Trippadoo--black tiger and white, male
They are right now in the back Thumper's Room. They are playful, healthy and happy kittens.
And we have thanks to give.......
