I must have been nuts thinking I could actually stop rescuing. The other day at the grocery store in the cat food aisle, I ran across a confused girl looking for kitten formula. After talking to her for a few moments, I was horrified to find out that someone she knows had a litter of […]
Today- Moe (the new arrival) relaxed enough to allow me to touch him. He is still hiding under the futon upstairs, but he stopped growling and hissing at me. I took a chance and laid down on the floor, shut my eyes, talked softly to him and reached in to pet him. I connected with […]
A few days ago, a guy Mike used to work with gave us a call. They were being evicted and had no place to live. There were some broad hints about them parking their small trailer on our land, but thankfully, Mike had all his faculties at the time and didn’t even offer. We both […]
Tonight on the way home from work (midnight) I came very close to running over a tuxedo kitty. He darted out into the middle of main street and I saw him in my headlights, screamed and hit the brakes. As I slid to a stop, he did a giant leap over the meridian in the […]
Mike came out into the front room early this morning and fell out in the hospital bed here in the front room. Oliver takes up his vigil watching over Mike tucked between Mike’s leg ever watchful. The other cats leave him alone, perhaps they know that something has gone haywire inside of MIke’s system […]
Oliver has taken over the job of offering comfort to Mike. He either is sleeping tucked between Mike’s leg during the day, or when it comes time to elevate his leg, Oliver perches on the top of the back rest (that I use to get Mike’s foot higher than his heart) right next to his […]
As mentioned before NK (new kitty) is rib skinny. Even her tail when you stroke it, you can feel the bones. It is quite sad.
She has been here for 24 hours and I generally just leave the newcomers alone for that long so they can settle in. I just peek in on them, make […]
She is a beautiful, young soft mackeral gray tabby who is pregnant for the second time. Her diet was inadequate provided by her previous owner. She was being fed raw cows milk and raw beef pureed in water in a blender. She quit eating a few days ago and I was told about her and […]
I spent the night in the ER last night due to not taking care of myself. I got extremely dehydrated and was running a high fever. My friend drove me to the ER and they immediately hooked me up to IV’s and gave me a shot to bring down my temperature. I have been […]
In a few days we will hopefully know the outcome of Mike’s extensive hospitalization and his fight with his leg. I take him on Thursday first to see his surgeon then to the hospital for an MRI and a bone scan. He is going stir crazy in the nursing home and my heart breaks for […]
