Today, Miss Shell weighed in at seven pounds! Good going girl! Her mouth? Well, it still looks like a train wreck, but one that the crew has been working on to clear the debris off the track.
We have our routine down now. She likes to eat off of glass saucers for some reason. Maybe it feels better on her tongue. Speaking of her tongue, she seems to be able to get it under control now. It acts less like a snow shovel, shoveling food away from her and more like a real tongue. The dark red rim I saw that was crusted around her tongue when she first got here, is now gone. It looks pink and healthy and happy.
She loves her Zoom Groom. An amazing tool really. It allows me to keep her brushed and deliver a gentle massage at the same time.
Her nose, it should run for office because it drips constantly. But the vets say her lungs are clear and hopefully over time, her sinuses will be too. Maybe she is part Persian? 🙂
I appreciate all the comments you folks leave along the way here- thanks for praying for this amazing kitty and for helping me with your supportive replies along the way.
Way to go Shell! Happy 1 month anniversary! Oh…I love following this special kitty and all her trials and victories!
Much luv,
Mindy of the Slimmer puggums

Oh my goodness! If that is not a testimony of how well she is doing, I don’t know what is, really! That is F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!!
MA, what a wonderful wonderful post to read… You made my weekend!!! Yey! This little girl is just amazing! And you…. My Goodness! An angel on Earth for these kitties!

All of us –
I am glad to hear that she seems to be doing somewhat better. I hope she gets healthy enough to one day be adopted out or to live with you in a permanent loving family. It’s amazing how far she’s come, and she has such a will to survive and desire to be loved.
Oh what a happy update! It just made my day!!! Keep up all your great work Shell’s mom and you just keeping getting better Shell girl!!
Hooray! Hope you have a quiet weekend where everyone can get some rest and build up your strength…
So glad to hear that Shell is getting better. Hang in there, all of you.
Yahoo-ooo!
Ma, you made my day! Our day! Our weekend! SEVEN pounds! That is fantastic news! This little girl is something!!! I wish I was there to give you a big hug and her a gentle headbutt (yeah, you can picture that, can’t you? I would, I would!)
Well, feel hugged, and give this sweet little girl our love!
You are our Hero!
Much love,
All of us –
Wow!!!! Great news. Stay strong, sweet Shell, many more prayers to you.
Happy Anniversary to you and to Shell! She’s certainly come a long way under your love and care, MA. You’re doing an awesome job with her. Her coat looks so much healthier, her eyes brighter, and her little tongue is just too cute! Glad to know she’s improving and gaining weight. We are big fans of the Zoom Groom in this house, too!
We send you many blessings and much strength and encouragement for your amazing work with the rescue kitties dear MA.
This is a milestone month in Shell’s life that made all the difference between being here or at the rainbow bridge…you are an amazing lady and I salute you! Now Shell weighs more than Miss Peach!!!!
That is great news. 7 pounds is a lot for a little kitty that was so skinny. We are so glad to hear some positive stuff going on and it sounds like maybe them medicine might be working a little bit. We sure hope so. Got all our paws crossed for you Shell. Take care and tell Mom to get some rest.
Glad to see more good news about Shell. She has already come quite a way.
