Hi friends,
I’m here to update you all about how all the cats (and me and Arlo) are doing. We have been going through a lot here, so…naturally, I have good news and bad news.
First, some good news:
Atlas (big grey + white boy) is doing fine, yes…he still needs to lose weight…because he can’t reach his butt to clean it so I have to clean his butt, belly, feet, and tail multiple times per day…but it’s ok, I don’t mind.
Beep + Pixel (solid black Beep and perfect tuxedo Pixel, formerly feral littermates from kitten season 1) have no complaints to report, which is a good thing! This pair of brothers are an easygoing pair, and a delight to have around. Pixel is a sweetheart, and the only trouble Beep ever brings me is that he insists on spilling the water bowls every time I fill them up. This is annoying, but until we get a bowl he can’t tip over, we’ll have to deal with it, lol…it’s a small price to pay to have Beep around.
Pidgeon + Echo (cowcat “twins” from kitten season 2) no news is good news! Both Pidgeon and his sister Echo are healthy and doing well. They both are due for another round of vaccinations, but this is a low priority right now. (If anybody is feeling extra charitable, “4 in 1” FVRCCP vaccinations are $25 per cat and 1 year rabies vaccinations are $15 per cat, but these costs are not my number one priority, currently. Of course, any and all donations toward veterinary care are always very much appreciated. There are links to PayPal and Venmo on my page in my bio.)
Griffin + Anthony (tuxedo “twins” from kitten season 2, littermates of Pidgeon + Echo) In February of this year, Griffin was neutered and he had a rough time. He had very serious discoloration and major swelling for several weeks after his surgery, and sadly…he’s never gone back to the way he was before surgery. He’s just much more nervous now, and Griffin is my personal pick of the litter, so I feel especially upset about the lack of care it seems the clinic used in handling him for his surgery. I haven’t gone back to that clinic since then, because I don’t want to put another cat through whatever trauma Griffin went through. I’ll put a photo of the swelling and discoloration he had after his surgery, I’ll put it as the very last photo so you don’t have to see it if you don’t want to.
Anyway, Anthony is my smallest tuxedo boy, and the last cat from kitten season 2 that still needs to be neutered. I’ve been quoted $135 for his neuter surgery by the vet at the humane society, and once I have the funds, I’ll take him in.
Unfortunately, Anthony hasn’t yet decided he wants to be friends with humans, so I’ll have to trap him in my house with a humane cat trap and take him in as a feral. (Again, if anyone feels compelled to pitch in for Anthony’s neuter surgery…links are in the bio of my profile. This cost is a much higher priority for me, but please don’t feel obligated to donate directly!)
I’m going to stop here, because my post is getting too long and I don’t want to bore you. I’ll make a second post to update you on the remaining cats and myself and Arlo. I couldn’t keep these cats fed if it wasn’t for your generosity, kindness, and willingness to help me with necessities/sending supplies via my wishlists.
Thank you for reading, if you wanted an update on another cat of mine that I didn’t mention in this post, please watch for my second post!
