*Mini Ritz Update*

She was eager and waiting for me this morning at her 6am check in and she meowed at me for the first time. Her eyes look brighter and she maintained her hydration overnight. She is still a very sick kitten but she's been eating on her own today and has a good appetite. I'm cautiously optimistic!

Ritz Update

Ritz had an up and down day today. This morning she had a great appetite and ate an almost normal sized meal. I did syringe water into her just to be sure but her hydration was pretty good. Then this afternoon she had me worried again. She was pretty dull and had no interest in food because her mouth was hurting. I syringe fed her some of the same special high calorie slurry that helped save the life of one of my own cats many years ago when she was very sick with calicivirus as a small kitten. She also got a bum bath because she has diarrhea. Then I tucked her in to bed because all that activity is exhausting for her. When I did a first night check a little while ago I was very happy to find her sitting up and waiting for her second dinner. She does have free feed access to food but she mostly only eats when I help her. She had some slurry, some regular food, and a light bum bath, and then tottered back to bed and gave herself a good cleaning like a normal kitten. She is still very fragile and far from out of the woods but I'm pretty happy about how she's doing this evening. Something I didn't mention earlier is that Ritz does have a kennel buddy so she's not all alone. I caught one of her cousins at the same time as her. He's a little bit older and a lot healthier. He likely has the same virus but isn't being affected as badly. His name is Fritz.

Another successful bottle drive.
We were down a few regular volunteers today but we still pulled it off and managed to raise over $2800 for the cats!
As tiring as the bottle drives can be it's also a bit of a recharge. We get to see lots of regular supporters and they have the kindest things to say. When you regularly deal with a lot of crappy situations those kind words can mean more than you know! ❤️

🐾Ritz Update🐾

Ritz is home from the vet after spending several hours being stabilized. She is a very sick kitten so we're definitely not out of the woods yet but we're going to do everything we can over the weekend to keep her hydrated and nourished so she can gain her strength back. Ritz has feline calicivirus. This is a very common cat virus with some experts saying that nearly 100% of cats will be exposed to it at some point in their life. Most cats get through it easily while some have much more serious symptoms. One of the more common symptoms is painful lesions in their mouth that cause enough discomfort to make them stop eating and drinking. That's likely why Ritz is so thin and dehydrated. She had an appetite. It just hurts too much to eat. After spending the afternoon with the fabulous Dr Blossom she is plumped up from fluids and even started eating a bit on her own.
If anyone would like to help us help baby Ritz, the only food she can manage to eat right now is Hills urgent care a/d. This food costs over $5 per can so it's very pricey but it's the only food she can eat without gagging from the pain so it's what she's getting for the next little while. We did pick up a case today but we would be very grateful for any donations to help cover her special food and her vet care this afternoon.

Etransfer donations are gratefully accepted at [email protected]

Please send your healing energy to Ritz. She needs all the help she can get right now!

**Edit: Ritz is at the vets for the rest of the day on fluids and being closely monitored. She, (I hadn't checked earlier because it wasn't a priority) is a very sick baby. We're obviously hoping for the best but we're realistic because we've been through this so many times before and we know that's it's not easy for a tiny kitten to fight back from being extremely
malnourished. Please send Ritz your positive thoughts. She needs as much of that as she can get right now**

I just picked up this little guy from another new site we just started. He's feeling pretty crappy. He's thin, cold, dehydrated, very undersized, and possibly has calicivirus. I'm heading to the vet with him in an hour and would love to have a good name for him by the time I get there..
