I know that I sound like a broken record at times when I ask for donations but locally raising money only brings in a few dollars at best. This week we brought in $11.45 from three different locations. Doesn’t matter, it all goes right on the vet bill. The bill is carried at Faithful Friends in Lebanon under my name Mary Anne Miller. Their phone number is 541-451-1319 that way anyone thinking the monies might be getting misspent can just make a direct payment of a few dollars on the bill and not go through Paypal at all. To those of you who dug deep and sent a few dollars- we sure do want to thank you. We raised a total of $113.00 towards Shasta’s spay.

This morning, I took her over to Midge for her photo shoot. Midge’s room has full length mirrors on the closet there and when Shasta saw herself in the mirror- she ran full on into the mirror and slammed it with her head! I went after her to capture her but before I could get to her in time, she did it four more times! She hit hard and I have been watching her for signs of trauma, but other than doing a lot of meowing (constantly) I don’t see a change in her behavior.

Here is one photo of her before we called it a day. She was pretty much anxious during the whole experience. The only time she was calm was when she was in my arms. She is a beautiful kitty.

I decided to use this bizarre rescue as a lesson to others and this is the current ad running online in the hopes of finding her a good, loving home.

Shasta

Right now, she is in a small cage near my computer and I am sure that tonight will be a repeat of last night. I got no sleep at all- she cried all night, very softly, no yowling but she is clearly not happy being confined. I may  just let her out in a few minutes into the house and see how that goes- just so we can sleep tonight.

So thanks again those of you who pitched in to help us NOT increase our already sky-high vet bill.
