Temps have dipped down into the 20’s at night resulting in more food being put out for the cats. We are running low on canned food. Feeding Purina Cat Chow or Purina Natural as well as Fancy Feast canned. All heaters are on full-roar at night in the enclosures and the heated water bowls are emptied on a daily basis.
After spending 15 days at the vet’s office, the smoke kitties are home and they are doing great! It is such a relief to have them healthy and home.
They have a new friend that arrived here last week. He was found running around Sweet Home well after midnight by a merchant in town. When I saw the post and that he was “feral” (no one wanted him) I knew we had to act. He is a brilliantly colored orange boy who I have named Sundance. He is about 7 weeks old? He was so emaciated, flea-ridden, and wormy. He was vomiting round worms and had baby tapes crawling out of his poop. He is now doing well, being somewhat accepted by my bonded pair. They will beat up on him occasionally, but as he is growing and gaining strength he is standing up to his bullies and giving back what he gets. It’s not dangerous their fighting. They are just finding their way with each other.
I did have Sundance sequestered off into the bathroom when he first arrived but three days later after listening to his endless crying, I decided to take a chance and put him with the other two. I kept close tabs on them the first two days, and now, there is an uneasy truce between them.
I have also changed the name of the white boy. He is showing some signs of being a flamepoint. The tips of his ears are turning orange as is his tail, but the orange coloring is quite dilute. So we will have to see. His permanent name (I swear I will not be changing it again) is Magoo. He fits that name perfectly. He is always into Kitty Mischief-
I hope you enjoy the photos of these three and if you can find it in your heart to send food (really canned food is what is going fastest) We would appreciate it. We still do have a pretty extensive vet bill to settle as well. $1068.90
Ok my apologies, all the photos I just uploaded seems to have vanished. I will have to figure out what I did wrong. Running on sleep depravation recently. Because the kittens are so active at night in the bedroom, I have been sleeping in the living room on the floor. By the time, Kota and Molly join me, my air mattress gets a bit depleted and sleep is hard to come by. LOL! I will post more photos when I figure out what went wrong.
Here you go-
Stay safe everybody- so much going on in America right now and not all of it good.
Boy, it bothers me when people call a cat feral just because he runs from them. If they saw a feral cat – or tried to pick one up – they’d know the difference all right. I’m glad Sundance is safe now. That fur of his glows, doesn’t it?
Finally got money – Feed the cats and give any left-over to the vet. Thank the Lord these kittens have you, MA!
