They do not have names yet, there is a golden mackeral tabby and a gray mackeral tabby. They are about 7 months old and their history is sketchy. Again, kept in closed carriers for most of their lives, I have them upstairs right now in a smaller room. They have ample places to hide, however nothing they can duck under. The gray girl is so terrified when let out of her carrier she climbed the walls looking for an exit hole. The lady who had them said they weren’t eating for a couple of days now and she is “tired” of dealing with them.
Thankfully, when I assist-fed them they both ate, rather greedily I might add and it did my heart good to see they had appetites. Lord have mercy but this Inn is full of furry ones.
Delilah is still draining which is what they want. She has a good appetite but her adventure at the vets plumb wore her out. She is doing a lot of sleeping, but then she is confined in a large dog cage, so her options on what to do are a bit limited.
She is as loving as the day is long and she goes back May 2nd to get her stitches out. Maybe then they will address those other abcesses for her. I wonder what attacked her so viciously? Usually cats when they fight, they don’t repeatedly bite over and over unless they are trying to kill each other. If she were a tom, that might be possible. I suspect instead she got nailed by something other than a cat.
Samson watches his friend with concerned eyes. He wants her to come out of the cage, but I dare not release her. If she gets under the bed, in no time she would scrape open her sutures and then she would be in a real mess!
Brooklyn keeps her distance. I ended up placing ten cat carriers in the room, all with different enticements inside; soft bedding, catnip, catnip toys, special treats, food, a water bowl with a ping pong ball floating in the bowl. At the arrival of the carriers she backed into a corner and hissed. All the doors are propped open, and my hope is her constant exposure to these carriers will over time make her less anxious to see them. I wouldn’t really push the issue, but she is in heat right now which means she needs to get to the vet and get spayed.
The person (I had lady there but that is not an appropriate word here in my opinion) who had those two poor cats and was tired of dealing with them is just evil. I so hate stories like this, which sadly happen far too often. WE are sending them and all the others tons of purrs and prayers, and hopefully they all know what a wonderful, caring place they are in now and that they are safe and loved.
