He is somewhat healthy. No nasty diseases but he does have a pretty bad sunburn and some “suspicious” coloring inside his ears. He has one eye that is quite infected but otherwise he is okay. He is about 3 years old and he did really good during all that he had to go through. He was trembling a bit, but I suspect this is only his second vet visit in his life.

While I was waiting, there was an elderly woman in the waiting room and as I always cover the cat carrier with a dark cloth to keep kitty calm, she asked if she could see my kitty. I uncovered him and she really liked him and asked me where I got him. I told her I rescue then shared his story with her. Then, they called me inside and I excused myself and took Truman into the exam room.

About 20 minutes into the exam, one of the girls on the front desk came into the room and laid my bill on my chair! I was holding Truman while the vet was examining him and I thought it was a bit uncalled for. I know I owe them a thousand dollars, but also know I paid them four times that last year so I thought this was a bit rude. I asked the vet what that was all about, and he had no clue.

He took Truman back to test him and I grabbed the bill and to my surprise saw a payment had been made on the bill! I felt so blessed and when the vet came in he also explained that the woman I had spoken to earlier had made a payment on my bill!

I feel more blessed for so much- recently I was sent these wonderful, soft cat beds that fit just exactly into my cat carriers- they go a long way to comforting the cats when they are so stressed. Someone who routinely reads my mutterings here on my blog made them for my cats.

It’s as if God was reminding me that yes, there are some people out there who do not value what you do- but there are so many more out there who understand what you are up against and when they can, they reach out and make it better.

So thank you all of you for being in my corner and speaking up when others prove to be less than human when it comes to these cats.
