CHRYSTAL UPDATE

I was able to get an appoitment for Chrystal for 10:30 this morning. X-rays showed that there's fluid in both, her lungs and her abdomen. Since she's not a typical age for FIP, doc thought it could also be cancer. We made the decision to drain the fluid from her lungs to make it easier for her to breath. Being able to examine the fluid is also helpful in determining the cause. I had to leave, but just heard back from the doctor that Chrystal did great during the procedure. The fluid is definitely indicative of FIP, and doc is about 90% sure that's what it is. So now we have a long FIP treatment journey ahead of us.

Our bill is currently $580, and that doesn't even include bloodwork or medication. We raised $90 last evening (thank you to those who donated), but that falls short of what we need to pay when I pick Chrystal up later today. If you have a few dollars to spare, please consider donating to help save Crystal's life. Zelle, PayPal, or Venmo are the best way to donate since the funds are readily accessible. I'll post info on how to donate through them in the comments section since Facebook shadow bans posts with outside links. Donations can also be called in directly to Countryside Veterinary Center, 708-469-6050.

Thank you so much for your continuous support.

Help, please. Chrystal is having difficulty breathing and needs to see a vet as soon as possible. She's always had chronic sinus issues, but this is way worse than what we've been dealing with. I'd love to raise $250 to cover x-rays and bloodwork. Please consider sending a small donation to help this sweet girl. If only a quarter of our followers donated $1, we could raise enough to cover her vet visit.

💜 ADOPTION UPDATE 💜

A little over two weeks ago our little Lyra moved in with her new family. Almost instantly, she became her humans' shadow and her dreams of being loved and cuddled became true. You can tell from the photos how much she enjoys living in her new home.

Lyra also became a sister to three kitties! It took her a bit to get comfortable around them, but we are told she's making progress, and is even starting to play with the youngest one, Nico.

Not going to lie, seeing these photos brings tears to my eyes. They are happy tears, of course. I mean, how can you not be happy seeing a cat you saved be so content and adored.

Meet Banana, the kitten I mentioned in my last post.

Banana, along with three of his littermates, was dropped off at our rescue friends' house when he was only a few days old. The family bottle fed and took care of the babies for weeks, but about two weeks ago, Banana stopped eating and became very lethargic. After checking up on him, I decided to take him home with me to see if I can save him. It was a little scary at first. He had to be force fed with a syringe to make sure he was getting enough calories and to give the meds a chance to work. Finally after a few days, he started to eat on his own. It was a tiny amount at first, but then he started to eat more and more. His appetite is now back to where it should be for a kitten his age and I couldn't be happier. His energy level is also back to normal. Another one of his littermates is getting dropped off today to keep him company while he finishes his recovery.

Thank you, Mary Ann Cat Topps, for sending kitten food! If anyone else wants to send some, I can definitely use a couple more cases to get this guy completely healthy.

First photo is from today, second photo is from the day I got him on 5/14.

Feed me!

C**t and Filly are about six weeks old now. They will soon be moving on to a new foster, but in the meantime, they are eating four cans of kitten food each day! Would anyone be willing to send some food their way? I also have another little guy that is on the same food (I'll post about him a bit later).

Amazon seems to be out of Fancy Feast, but Chewy has plenty. I know shipping costs with Chewy are an issue, so an alternative is a gift card. If we get a few small gift cards, I can then order the food myself and hopefully meet the free shipping threshold.

Drop off food at Pet Supplies Plus in Orland Park (we will also take any food your cat(s) don't want to eat for our adult cats).

How many cats can comfortably fit in a small crate?

Looks like the answer is four.

Filly has been one of the most difficult kittens I have ever taken care of. From completely covering herself in food while eating, to peeing and p**ping anywhere but the litter box, she has been more work than some large litters. I had to switch from pellet litter to clumping litter because she flat out refused to use the pellet litter.

At least she doesn't mind getting baths, so I have that going for me 😸

Happy Mothers Day!

Filly tried wet food this morning, and well, it appears she is a huge fan. The girl is something else 😸

C**t had absolutely no interest in it, so it will probably be a couple of days before he joins in the messy fun.

It's been a couple of days since these little ones came in. They needed a little extra work at first, due to having bad diarrhea and being dehydrated, but after a few meals and some meds they both perked up. By 1:00 in the morning (when I took this video) they started to play.

The little girl (darker brown) is a complete goof and has quite the catsonality. She is a very messy eater and half of her food always ends up all over her. She's dealing with a slight upper respiratory infection so it's possible she has a difficult time latching on properly.

The little boy (lighter brown) is silly but also super chill. It only took him a day to figure out how the ni**le works and he eats like a champ now.

They are both on medications to deal with the diarrhea and upper respiratory infection. I'm hoping for some solid p**p soon 😄
