Hi Guys, if you are still around to read this from time-to-time.

I apologize for my absence recently. There has been a reason, I promise. first off, I know there is something wrong technically with this blog. I am working to resolve it but right now, the solution is a bit out of reach.

Right now, I am posting to ask for food for our sanctuary cats.We are  still getting weekly donations, but they are slim to none. I hear rumblings as to why, but can do nothing about the events that happen locally around here. So we are just grateful for whatever they throw our way. Right now, it is just scraps. We are in great need for canned food- Friskies (anything but beef) is fine. They seem to love Blue Mountain but the price is a bit spendy for us right now.  We need dry food Friskies, Whiskas desperately. This time last year, our supply cupboard was full. This time, we have three cans left and only six bags of food.

On May 3rd I was bit by a hobo spider. Before I could intervene (once I flung the spider that landed on my hand) on the floor- the cats pounced and made short work of the biter. But a few days later, the bite went rogue and I ended up in the ER where they gave me multiple ouchey shots of lidocaine and lanced it open. They found, staph, mrsa and cellulitus.

They wanted to put me in the hospital but there was NO ONE who could step in and care for all the cats here (let alone Kota) So I ended up getting 10 hours of a high-powered antibiotic IV. Then was sent home with this “superfly of antibiotics.” I was told to take them all. But then I developed oral thrush. I gotta tell you guys, if you want to bring on the pain- this bacteria will bring it! Nine days unable to talk, eat, swallow. My tongue blistered, the lining underneath my tongue shed itself like a snake. I’d wake up in the morning, so weak hardly able to get out of bed.

The cause of this disease is antibiotics. The cure is the same. Finally, I decided to heck with it and went holistic and only the other day was I able to eat a poached egg. Took me an hour, but I gotta tell ya, it tasted like Lobster Newburg! I’m getting better by stopping the antibiotics. My hand is finally healing- had it rechecked yesterday and the end results were positive.

But that is why I haven’t been blogging (although I am writing again). Trying to get a bit of extra money for the kitties. That’s why I popped on- to ask for donations of food- will update my wish list after I post this. No one here is sick (besides me) LOL

Pigeon is completely back to normal and sleeps on my chest every night, with his lovely paws wrapped around my neck. What a blessing that is-

Thanks for listening if you are still around. I do love all of you. I did try to update our wish list. I only pray it worked. Again, we need Friskies canned food and Fiskies/Whiska’s dry food if anyone can manage this we would be grateful. We may not be able to actively rescue right now, but we still have wonderful (mostly senior cats here) under our care.

I apologize, my attempt to update my wish list failed. I am clueless as to why? I hope this does not hamper our attempts to bring in some food for these beautiful kitties-
