It will light the way for a older mack tabby found on my porch this morning. I almost tripped over the cat carrier in the rain and I put the kitty inside the truck- not wanting to take a chance and bring it in the house. It was crying so badly. I rushed it to the vet and the temp was 95.2 🙁 She was trembling, lethargic, anemic, dehydrated. Her back claws had dried blood on them and when they put the needle in to test her- they couldn’t even get three drops. Her gums were bleached out and there was a evil smell overcoming her. I checked her over while they were talking about her and found a wound on the center of her back (scabbed over) but it was a substantial wound. Suspect she got hit by a car and then just bled out. 🙁 The reason I said to place the candle in the wind is that this is how short her time with us was- about 20 minutes before her bridge pass was stamped.

I named her Badger and told her that I was so sorry that I didn’t get to her sooner. The original plan had been to get her tested, vaccinated and then have the vet keep her for the 5 day period when the vaccine finally kicks in and starts protecting- then take her home get her stronger and get her adopted out.

There was $10.00 inside the carrier) so I guess that is how much the owner thought she was worth. So yet another hit on the vet bill as unexpected as Avis and her family.
