rescued kitty update
Popping in to post an update of the kitties my girlfriend and I
rescued. Two males that appeared to be litter mates and very close we were able to adapt together! The silver tabby got to his new home and started sniffing and sneezing excessively and we worried that it was the same thing another cat in the group ("Matty") had (because the vet had not been able to pin down what her problem was then) so we rushed him off to the vet. He went on antibiotics and the vet said it was probably brought on by stress. He's fine now and both onwner and onwee are well and happy.Yay!!!! The absolutely gorgeous smoke female longhair we had spayed. Oh My, what a sweet, calm, beautiful cat! Has that great fur that doesn't mat easily and big bright amber eyes. Well, she found a forever home with this neat wheelchair-bound lady and her 2 elderly poms. Have been back to visit and everyone seems to get along together nicely. The lady, Carol, has a huge south-facing casement window (that pooches out) just covered in plants and vines...the perfect cat-place, where she can lol in the sun and peer out of her jungle at the birds and those fat dog-creatures! Wern't sure how she would handle dogs, but apparently they didn't phase her a bit. It looks like the one we call Matty (because of her fur) is going to be with us a while. Barb and I have been sharing care of her just because she does take some special care and food and because it's a bugger to get her meds down her! S-l-o-w-l-y her nose and mouth are healing. Both still have big sores inside and out, but her breathing is lots better and she's not blowing those nasty bloody bubbles out her nose, or spattering blood and mucuse when she sneezes. Ick. After all the tests and bloodwork Sara, the vet, says it is apparently something that just is going to take a long, long, long while to heal. She's been living in that ancient barn all through the cold, Montana winter (and who knows how long before that) subsisting on whatever she could catch and with no source of water that we could find. Poor baby. She's what I call a "round" kitty...with a scot. fold or brit ancestry. Round face, big round eyes and ear tops (not folded though), cubby body, shorter tail and nose. Coloring is a little more difficult. Matty is sort of an interesting...ummm...patchwork...cat since Sara de-felted her when she was under getting her teeth cleaned.LOL Maybe a dark grey tiger smoke? I think I see some faint tiger markings but she sort of looks torti too...? Guess I'll have to wait till she grows out! I have to give TONS of credit to all those folks who regularly do this...take in or rescue stray kitties....it's AMAZING!!! To advertise for and screen prospective owners, then follow up after the adoption. Medicating. Socializing. Jeeze...too much to say. To take care of the necessary vet care...Oh My Gosh...do you know how much we spent on these cats??!! (my hubby would NOT want to know) If it wasn't for (trumpet rillllll...) Sara Stevens at Alpine Vet in Missoula MT we could not not have afforded or known to do half of this. She is an angel! Was behind us 100% when she found out what we were trying to do. Barb and I both are on pretty limited incomes. And we aren't done. There's Matty, and there is still the one-eyed male. But right now we are absolutely broke. Thank goodness the weather has warmed up and there should be plenty of water (rain) and food out at the barn. We will rent the trap and get to him as soon as we can. Okay...bent your ears enough! Cheers, PatM |

rescued kitty update
So glad things are going well! I hope Matty really starts to clear up soon
but at least she sounds better. How horribly uncomfortable she must have been. Purrs for trapping the one eyed guy. "PatM" wrote in message oups.com...

Lots and lots of purrs, best wishes and hugs, Polonca and Soncek |
