One more stray joined us last night. She came whizzing in the house during the storm when I let the dog back in. I don’t know where she came from, but she is in rough shape. Thankfully, she is now in a new home. She is a Russian Blue and one of my ladies loves the breed and has taken her. She is probably 14-16 years old? Skinny as can be- full of fleas and worms (not anymore though). There is a fear she has chlymidia because of a bad URI. She has been tested, prodded, thumped, she might have a malfunctioning thyroid, but Lori took her anyway! I gave her fluids-she was not a happy girl but she perked up a lot.  She is in pretty rough shape and Lori has said she will keep in touch and let me know if she gains any weight or not. There is also a fear of bad kidneys.

So one more vet visit on the books. I am really hoping that this will be it for the year. (Knock on wood).

Pumpkin’s eyes are a bit better, not great but opened probably 5 hours out of the day. Slate (the new gray kitty) is still swiping at me with her paws and growling when I approach her, but if I use a towel as a buffer, I can get my hands on her and just lay her on her side and pet her.

Her mom Alaska is slowly thawing out. She was on the cat post when I went to feed tonight instead of hiding in the carrier.

Picked up the food donations this week and God smiled on us regarding dry food- but not a canned cat or kitten food in sight. We are out now so my hope is the kittens will eat just dry (except for Pumpkin, I still have some cans of AD left). The outside kitties tonight got canned dog food with  my apologies. It is supposed to get down to the teens tonight! They need the grease and fat to stay warm- one thing dog food has is grease!

The Kitty has $12.00 left in it- not enough to get the food needed for the growing kittens- praying something breaks soon. I have donation boxes scattered about- hoping this weekend leads to some good donations coming through.

Here are the two new kitties- the other cat is gone to her new forever home- Thank You God!
