In the night, two more unable to overcome the neglect and malnourishment has left us. Both Mackerel Tabbies. People don’t seem to grasp the damage improper diet and fleas can do to the really young ones, and by the time they do understand, it is often to late. The others are still here- most of the gunky eye discharge has given way to clear drainage. We have the sneezers and one cougher who I hope doesn’t have asthma. But for now, no one is going to the vet to be tested, because quite frankly they don’t have enough blood right now to be able to offer up even a drop. Their appetites are increasing oy vey is it ever! LOL If I don’t leave enough wet food down- they ambush me and crawl up my legs or after I leave isolation they climb the screen screaming! I am feeding them fancy feast adult right now and those cans are so bloody small. I am also giving them generous helpings of baked chicken livers which they love and they need the taurine and the iron inside as well as sorghum syrup and goat’s milk and of course kitten chow. But kittens deprived of good food when it does finally start to arrive, they feel that it won’t always be available so they go a bit nuts. It will all calm down in time.
On a brighter note, got this in my email this morning- Axle in his new home- still not entirely relaxed but laying on the bed not under it!
You know your stuff, so if they have a chance, it is with you. The poor little ones who are gone… Do hoarders really think they care about these animals? Do they live in denial?
Good for Axle. He’ll come around soon enough. It’s astonishing how fast they adapt when they know they are loved.
