Update on our rescues! The three “burn babies” all have “forever homes”. “Tuffy” is growing up so fast. He still has a prolapsed rectum and the vet tells us there is nothing he can do since Tuff does not have a tail! This has also affected his gait. His rear legs are weak and very wobbly. It is something we are working on. He has adjusted to having his bum cleaned two or three times a day and loves to play. He tries so hard to jump, but just can’t do it.
On another note, someone left a kitten by my front door. My security cameras show an unknown male leaving a plain box and talking to it for several minutes. When I got it open I found a “Tabico” kitten (5 weeks) with it’s right hind leg partially missing!! Just a stump where the foot should be. She was hungry and curled up with a fuzzy toy and slept. She will visit the vet today and I am sure they will take the leg. I will then have a tripod kitten! They usually do ok, but not sure how they adopt. It’s ok I have at least 5 disabled cats who are all fine.
Just giving you an update on the rescue scene. I never meant to devote my senior years to caring for disabled cats! Guess you don’t get to choose. Oh, well I have nothing better to do.
Hope everyone has a wonderous and peaceful fall and winter. I will update the amputee soon. She is being called “Spice”. Since I have another Tabico called Cinnamon! The latter has vision issues.
