Kitten Sunday Selfies Late and Furry Sad Mewz

Hi everyone. Monday was National Cat Day. Dids you know that? We have a day just fur us Cats!



This is Miss Peach watching Giselle's kittens playing in the hallway. The Mom wants to apologize for not blogging fur almost a month... our camera is all catputted and don't take furry goods photos no more...

Mama Giselle's kittens, Cheddar, Pepper, Colby and Heather just turned 8 weeks old and we waz going to show their mew selfies Sunday...Giselle came from a motel owner friend who could not keep her, especially after he found out she had kittens!

Yet we has furry sads mews. Auntie Bibi has not been feeling well and been hiding alot.




Furst we show you Giselle and her kittens.


Giselle

Cheddar
Pepper Jack (PJ)

Colby

Heather




























They are furry playful and furry interesting to watch while they play... Mom says they are rambunctious and climb up her blue jeans!! Cheddar and Heather need more time with people. They gets fussy when picked up... Mom thinks they gets rumbly tummies cause they been burping their food. Giselle is shy and nervous in new situations, yet her am very sweet girl. Giselle and kids will be going to Manhattan On November 16 to gets shots and fixed and then kittens will find furever homes. Please keeps them in your purrs fur their trip to Manhattan and Cattails Rescue.



Now we must tell you our furry sads mews, why Nana's Bibi has been hiding. Nana, Mom and Uncle Mike had trouble finding where she was hiding...for several days. She would show up for a while then hide again. Finally Bibi used the last of her strength to climb up the basement stairs to the landing in the kitchen by the back door. Katie Mom was in Nana's kitchen at the time making something fur Nana to eat cause Nana has the stomach flu... Mom gently picked Bibi up and she was furry cold and hardly moving... and rushed her to Nana's bed. Bibi did not want to go over the bridge alone... She wanted to be with Nana.


Bibi was 17 and half years old and had struggled with CKD - chronic kidney disease for many years... Nana has not only been sick with the stomach flu, yet now she is missing Bibi soo much, the grief is overwhelming.

Bibi has been Nana's companion for almost 15 years since the day she came to Mom's house in 2004 at 3 years old looking for help after being left behind to fend for herself. A few weeks later, Bibi came to lives with Nana. The first time Bibi saw Nana, Bibi claimed one of the pillows on the bed!!

The saddest thing is that Pet Traditions will not even cremate Bibi until the entire bill of $210.00 is paid. They used to let pet parents put half down for cremation, urn and then make payments. Katie Mom took Bibi to the vet to pts because Pet Traditions would have charged another $50 to come to Nana's house. Please can you help get Bibi back to Nana? We are afraid that she will not even get out of bed until Bibi comes home. Nana is 78 years old and disabled. She feels there is no reason to keep going without her Bibi. 

Miss Peach and Katie Mom.




Dearest friends and Cat Bloggers, This is Kat. This blog post has been so hard to write... We have asked for help for Chiquita's $400 plus bill months ago when she had a mysterious rash, yet only a few dollars came in. Thank you to the one dear friend from over the blue who helped at that time.

Yet I am begging for my Mom's sake to help get Bibi back home. There is no way we can come up with 210 dollars in cash up front. All cards are maxed out from kitty cat bills and the pet helping ministry. I am barely getting in enough money for food and litter fur our foster cats.

The grief of losing Bibi is so overwhelming to my mom. She has lost so much, her parents, her husband, her son from 200 hundred feet fall and now her only companion Bibi. Our paypal email address is laugh_safely at yahoo dot com. please use option gift to friends.

If you would like to help pay Pet Traditions, directly, please email me or contact me on Facebook at Kat-Renee Kittel Thank you so much for helping my mom. If you can't help pay for Bibi's urn, can you please share the need? Thank so much.

-Katie Kat

The Goods, The Sads and The Mew Purrz


Katiez Katz haz lots of Mewz to share today... First

With great sadness we must share four beloved kitties have gone over the Rainbow Bridge: Miles Meezer, Milita of Fur Everywhere, Bionic Basil and Sister Precious of Brian's Home... Please visit their blogs if you haven't done so yet and send purrz and hugz to their paw parents...

Beautiful babies gone home...  

We must also share that a left behind kitty named Mustachio that Auntie Silvia was looking after was sick and we didn't know the cause nor have the funds to treat him. Auntie Silvia and Katie Mom took him to Veterinary Emergency Clinic ER fur surrender, hoping he would get treated and possibly be picked up by rescue after going to the shelter... Instead he was discarded and PTS - no treatment or tests, no records made, nothing done to see if he had an incurable disease or could have been saved. Like he didn't even matter, he wasn't worth their effort... We don't have better photo of him... we believe he was left behind when an elderly lady who fed outdoor cats went to nursing home.

Mustacchio
(I started writing this blog post last week and just stopped here - everything was just too sad. Will try to finish today - Thursday September 20th after Yom Kippur. -Katie the Mom)

Chiqui is doing much better
Howsumever, we haz good mewz to share too. After several weeks on prednisilone, Chiquita's rash is gone, except for a small sore by her ear... yet since we don't know what caused the rash, the Mom will have to watch watch her as the meds are tapered down... we still have almost four hundred dollars to pay back on Care Credit. We are trying a food with a single source protein, but she doesn't really like it that well and it is expensive.

Katie Kat and her Kittens

And other good mewz: Mom drove the kitty mama that belonged to a scrapping friend, Katie Kat and her five kittens to Cattails Rescue in Manhattan Kansas on September 7th where they all got fixed and will finds furever homes! 
Handsome Lil Isaac on way to Rescue


Here am little Isaac (Joy is behind him) in the carrier on the way to Manhattan. Mom Katie was in her own carrier and then Adam, Joshua and Caleb were in another carrier. We had to buy new carriers to take kitties to Manhattan cause Cattails needed the carriers and we will exchange them next time we go back... cause guess what?
3 day old kittens on porch

Katie Mom and Uncle Mike helped a motel owner friend of ours catch his kitty, a mew Mommy of four kittens two days after Labor Day... Tuesday after Labor Day lots of raining. To keep them safe, the pretty girl left her four 3-day old kittens on the back porch. That's when the motel owner found out his cat had kittens! Auntie Silvia called the Mom Tuesday night. Katie Mom and Uncle Mike tried to get Mommy to go into a kennel cage where they had placed her kittens, but she wouldn't go in... So next day Wednesday, Katie Mom finally caught her but to do so Mom had to leave work (lost 55 dollars we really needed). The motel owner asked us to look after her and the kittens, since he wasn't able to.

Kitty Mom's name am Giselle now. Her am grey tortie and haz 3 boys and 1 girl kitten. Boyz = Cheddar - bright orange, Colby (small tan boy under Giselle's hind leg), Pepper Jack dark tabby and pretty Heather am grey tabby girl.

Giselle and her mew kittens

Healing Purrz and Funds Needed Fur Chiquita

Last Sunday, dear Chiquita was hiding under the bed and would not come out...
Chiqui's red ear deep inside.
When I finally got her out from under the bed, she ran to the laundry room shelf behind the curtains. Her face and nose were red and she favored her right ear. These visible signs of something wrong were not there Saturday. My first thought - she had jumped off the bed in the night when I kicked covers off and banged her head on the metal bath chair at the foot of the bed.

She would not let me near and ran under the bed again. Hoping to her get out later that day, I went on to work. Coming home after nine pm, brother and I got her to run onto the laundry room shelf. I could tell her face and ears were swollen. Brother helped me get Chiquita into a carrier. She and I went to Emergency Vet Clinic. Brother went home to bed - he gets up at 4 AM for work.

At the ER Vet Clinic, found out Chiquita was running a temp and right ear was red and covered in crust and way down inside, right ear starting to get red too. Vet found two mammary glands also swollen. Suspecting mites or fungal infection, vet took samples of dried up scrappings and checked the microscope, yet only found opportunistic bacteria - no mites or fungal problems. ER vet suspected allergy or immune mediated response.

Just made no sense that this much swelling in her ear would happen over night. Apparent that the places on her chest were older so the rash seemed to have spread from her chest to her face.

Before leaving ER Vet, Chiquita received an anti-bacterial shot and Monday morning, I made an appointment for Chiquita to see Dr. Johnson at Willowbend Animal Hospital on Tuesday.

Tuesday, I'm with Chiquita at vets. Doc checked for yeast infection in her ear and found several more inflamed spots on her body besides the two on mammary glands. One on her back by her tail. The sores on her face and infection in her right ear. Ear mites and ring worm were ruled out. If allergy then prednisilone can help yet no telling what the allergen is. Dr. Johnson said that to completely know if this was an immune disease would require biopsy... Too expensive. Re-tested for FLV (she had leukemia shot when spayed) and tested for FIV since he had no records that those tests had been done, did blood chemistry. Got prednisilone pills for the rash and Tresaderm for her ear infection - to be given twice a day for ten days.

Tests came back on Wednesday. Negative for FLV and FIV. CBC blood chemistry did not show anything that explained this sudden onset of rash. At least she takes pills well and has been letting me put the meds in her ear this week. The rash on her mammary glands is much better and swelling on her face is down. 


Her poor ear is much less red. She has lost a lot of fur on her ear that hopefully grows back. All still a mystery as to the cause of the rash. Dr. Johnson suggested trying a different food with a meat protein that Chiquita has not had before. I am hoping to get something to try soon. Has anyone had a similar situation? Thought for sure it was mites, but no sign at all. Until we know what caused rash, could come back.



Chiqui really could use your help in paying her bill. Spent over $400 on my emergency Care Credit. This is all been a shock to us and poor Chiqui as well.

Any amt would help pay on her care credit. Please help with anything at all to Paypal gift to friends laugh_safely at yahoo dot com. Fur Chiquita's sake, thank you so much. Any amount will be sent directly to Care Credit bill.
