Giggle for the day....

2nd week of captured kittens. They are thriving. All are curious now of the "big" thing that brings them food.

Worried about mom though
She isn't handling captivity well. She will be the first one I want adopted so she can go be a kitten herself. She is extremely loving
Very laid back.

Donations welcome. Venmo or PayPal or check.

Kittens will be vetted and sexed next week

TANGO UPDATE:

Her heart murmur was a level 2 (out of 6). She lost about .26 ounces since February so we are watching that closely.

Weight: 5.47 lbs a loss of .26 ounces since February.

Her respiratory rate was slightly elevated to about 60 but she's been holding at home to around 30, so we are hoping she was just stressed out.

We did decide to draw blood which will check on her thyroid levels, kidney's, white/red blood counts and electrolytes. We will have those results in about 2 days.

Tango's care is palliative meaning we will continue to monitor her health and provide comfort care, with minimal tests and procedures , like blood draws, fluids and meds to keep her comfortable.

Hospice care follows with managing her pain until such time we have to say goodbye!

Cats hide pain, so we can only go by her appetite, demeanor overall and food/water intake. So far, she's hanging in there....

RESCUE UPDATE:

The hardest thing about rescue is saying goodbye.

We have three cats that are nearing their final days.

All three feral strays, had dedicated caregivers who have funded and cared for them for over a decade, but now they need a little help as their health has declined and they are entering what we call palliative care.

We are asking for you to help us, help them care for these precious souls for the remainder of their days.

You can help support them in their final days by contributing monetarily at [email protected] (Paypal) or through a contribution of much needed supplies, specifically food and litter!
