Silly and Beautiful Kitties Post

Lulu (top kitty) and Joey vying to get out of the bathroom at the same time.

Joey isn't showing any symptoms at all from his odd ordeal the other day. 

He's back to his playful clowning self.

 Annie by the living room window.  Isn't she beautiful?

My vet had an open house on Saturday.. forgot my camera - They had set up some stuffed animals on the surgery tables and it was really fun and informative.  While at the open house, Dr. Johnson graciously gave me deworming meds for all four kittens for the price of one kitten.  He also let me place flyers at the reception desk.  He's also interested in seeing my artwork and possibly displaying it on the wall!

The paw print in the logo is actually a copy of Dr. Johnson's doggy!

From my vet's website:

"WIllowbend Animal Hospital was established by Dr. Michael R. Johnson in August of 2012.  Dr. Johnson and his staff understand that since our pets cannot speak for themselves, the veterinary health care team must speak for them.  We believe that each pet deserves the opportunity to enjoy optimal health. We view each patient as a unique individual, in regard to their personality, health and lifestyle. Every patient deserves our best, all the time. This philosophy impacts and dictates everything we do." 

I gave the kittens their de-worming meds Sunday night.  They all seemed to handle it really well. Annie's tummy doesn't seem bloated now and Little Laura gained some more weight too.

Doobie and Annie May hung out together the other day, just walking around the house side by side like Doobie was just a big kitten, sniffing things and looking for something to do. Soo cute. Last night as she trotted past him, I asked Doobie if he liked Annie.  He moved his head toward her to lick her back and licked the end of her tail instead!

Well, longer blog post later... Gotta get these flyers ready to mail to other vet clinics in town.  Please purr for the kittens and for uncle Doobie that they find their forever homes furry soon.

Purrz,

Katie Kat.

Updates on Lulu and Kittenz

Look at who am opening her right eye!!!

Thank you for all your purrs and special thanks

to Karen Alcorn who kindly sent some funds to help with the kittens' vet visits.

So thankful that Lulu won't lose her eye. This photo was taken at the vets on Saturday.

She still shies away from bright light and there is a white spot in her cornea where the ulcer is healing.  All the kittens are still having runny noses so Dr. Johnson prescribed more clavamox for the next two weeks.  They will have another check up on Saturday the 13th.

Also Doobie Davey is getting nuetered on Thursday.  Hoping that will help calm his tummy.  Doobie and Lil Joe were playing Sunday evening... So funny.  Doobs rarely does anything save sleep and ask for catnip.  He has no idea what toys are for.  

At first, Doobie just watched Joey run all over the living room. Then when Joey jumped at his Uncle Doobie, Doobs just looked at me like he thought Joey was crazy.  So I said, "Doobie, Joey just wants to play, honey.  Remember what play is?  Did you play with your sister?"  Doobie got this "oh!" look on his face and started playing tag with Joey!  And he was really gentle too.  Too bad I didn't get a photo... well maybe next time.

Saturday's vet visit cost $70.12

The two visits before cost $185.46 for a total of 255.58

The emergency Vet visit for Joey was 153.00 (via care credit card)

So far the kittens vet expenses have come to 408.58.  (This isn't counting food and litter and stuffs like that...)

Karen Alcorn graciously sent 25.00 to my paypal account - rec'd 23.72 with a note that said, "With love from Tasha, Buddy and Angel Gypsy (with Mum Karen) @ http:\\kazpluscats.blogspot.com"  In Gypsy's memory, will be drawing this photo of him:

 Gypsy RIP January 1995 to 24 January 2011

 

After the donation, had $24.38 in my PayPal account.  $24.00 of the donation was applied to the kittens vet bill, while the .38 cents went toward the donation made for Marigold's auction. (Item # 39)  Sweet Marigold's mom can be found at http://hevensentmecat.blogspot.com/ 

Doobs neutering will only be $30.00 due to a low cost clinic.  He will also get his rabies and kitty "flu" shots which costs $10.00.  The shots will be paid for by an org called RETAIN which helps with pets getting spayed and nuetered.  Usually RETAIN pays the whole bill, but they are strapped for funds and can only pay the shots.

And More vet visits to come for the kittens.  They all still need FIV/FLV testing, de-worming, kitten booster shots and spayed/neutered. 

Just an FYI...  since Dr. Johnson isn't able to accept Care Credit, the 255.58 came out of funds budgeted for buying a new cell phone to keep in contact with my disabled Mom (my current one is dead... thanks Samsung for selling a defective phone) and property taxes for my house, which were due two months ago.

I'm looking into setting up an account at http://www.youcaring.com/ which doesn't charge for receiving funds.  If anyone has info about the site, please let me know.  In the meantime, the Paypal "donation" link still works...Any bit for the foster kits would help so much...

Purrz of thanks from all kittenz and katz,

Katie Kat.

Wonderful Wednesday Kittenz in the Bathroom

Looks like "The Mom" has her hands full again!  These babies are Doobie's nieces and nephews....Doobie had a sibling that was too fraidy to learn to be an indoor kitty, a black kitty that I called Hubie.  Been feeding Hubie outside since last August, back when Doobie and Hubie showed up... Well I hadn't seen Hubie in several weeks.  Then two weeks ago, Hubie showed up on the patio next door and just casually laid down... Next thing, several kittens wandered over and laid down too.  Uh oh.... Hubie wasn't Doobie's brother!  Hubie was Doobie's sister!  so  Hubie is now Yubi.
And I knew who the Daddy was too.  There's a long-haired orange tabby that comes to eat on the patio almost every night that I nicknamed George.  He has a flea collar that's too tight on him and he acts abandonned... (Georgie Porgie ran away...) No pics of him at the moment.

Yubi outside by the patio.  The kittens were sick with upper respiratory infections, but are doing much better now after taking antibiotics and eye meds, except for the little girl (behind the toilet in the first pic) whose right eyelids are still swollen.

"The Mom" made some videos, but Youtube won't accept them... even though the file type is on their acceptable list.

Caught Lil Joe first and took him to the emergency Vet on the 9th.  He was easy to catch by hand, since his eyes were so matted and he liked the sound of my voice. Here he is at the vets.

Here he is looking so much better after a week of antibiotics... Since The Mom couldn't catch his sisters easily, she put the meds in their food and set up a large kennel crate for them to eat in.  Once they got used to that crate, she was able to catch the two calicos on the 11th (more details later).  Then Friends of Felines loaned her a kitty trap and caught the tortie last Friday the 14th.  Once all the girls were caught, brought them into the house.  Joe was so happy to see his sisters!  Before she brought the girls in, Joe was hyper and climbing all over the Mom and loudly mewing in her face all the time and helping type on the keyboard, but that's my job!

After The Mom caught the girl kittens... two of the shyest sitting in a box in a crate on the patio. Notice the swollen eye.

 

Now in the bathroom... the little girl in the middle is the same kitten in the pic above.  Her am the biggest kitten too!. Her eye is still swollen though, but not as bad now that she is getting eye meds.  Mom is furry worried bout her though and will be taking her to the vet soon if the swelling doesn't go down.  The one on the right is the long haired calico girl pictured in the box above.  And then the Tortie girl in the back.

The Girls need names!!!  Anybody gots ideas???

More Info tomorrow!

Today is "the Mom's" Mother's birthday!  Other words, It's our human Nana's birthday!  So The Mom is off to have the evening with our Nana.
