It is sad that so many animals are in shelters, they deserve loving homes. It is his eyes color 22 minutes ago, TinyLove_CJ said: Wow that's a lot of animals to have in one shelter! When I worked for a cat rescue charity we could hold 30 adult cats and only had 6 'blocks' for kittens (each block could hold a small litter). It's awful that so many animals are being abandoned lately, there's been reports of the same thing here in the UK too. Abandonment has certainly gone up since the pandemic 😔 Like @Hero said all these animals need loving homes and loving owners! Beautiful cat by the way! Glad he's recovered now and got a good home 😊 He has gained weight. When he arrived he was thin and could barely jump ,now he jumps like a goat. In fact, she has adopted three, two females and one male. All three were injured and sick. Now it's nice to see them healthy and happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 More trouble with Martha last week. Vomiting, diarrhea, not eating, just wanted to sleep. Trip to vets, check over, possibly the pancreas flaring up again. Given anti sickness shot and sent home with painkiller/sedative tablets. I got them into her, that was pure luck! She was booked in for a blood test, I'd been told to fast her for 2 hours beforehand. Ok. She had a few biscuits early morning, then just water. Got to vets, it was a different vet taking the bloods - oh no, it has to be a 12 hour fast, we can't do it if she's eaten, it gives a false result! Got her booked in for the next day, took her home. By this time she was showing interest in food again, and was keeping it down. Great! But that didn't help with the 12 hour fast. Got her there eventually, they took the bloods, tried to overcharge me , and sent her home "results sometime next week". I took 4 days holiday from work to stay at home with her, it was bad. But she seems to have picked up a bit now, is eating, drinking etc, just a bit tired. Might be her B12 that's low again. Will see what the test says. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Update, heard from vets, blood test came back ok, nothing in her liver enzymes, kidney slightly raised but not as high as previously. As she's practically back to normal now, eating, drinking, no vomiting, toilet normal, they've advised keep her on hypoallergenic diet for now, and redo the kidney profile alongside a urine test in 2-3 months time to get a clearer picture of if/how that's progressing. Otherwise, she's looking good, and they're very happy. As am I! She was adorable this morning. I have my cat back! ❤️ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was climbing over my head in bed, trying to wake me, slipped and stuck her claws in to get traction for jumping away. I think my pained cry shocked her, she looked a bit sheepish afterwards.

So I was a bit sore. But no worries, I'll cuddle her tonight and she'll have her chicken treats to eat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martha never believes "That's it, last piece". There's always something else in her bag/my plate/the fridge. She turns from a cat into a persistent badger, until she either gets her way or goes to sulk. I was going to say she gets the hump, but the transition from cat to badger to camel is too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
