Hi everyone. Some of you may, or may not know
about my newest rescue cat, Bones. She was almost dead when some local kids
brought her to me last Wednesday night. I have nursed her out of severe
hypothermia and starvation, but I am fairly sure she has a broken back (she
still needs x-rays, and has an appointment on Wednesday). She is going to need
surgery to stabilize the bones in her back, to ever get to have any normal
quality of life, and be free of the pain she is in (she is in extreme pain if
she moves at all now, it has gotten worse today than it was). I will be calling
around tomorrow to area vets to get an estimate of the costs, and I will
probably need help. If anyone can donate any amount to help Bones get her
surgery, we would be very grateful. I will be setting up a special fund,
and as soon as I know which vet I will be using, I will post the info. If
any of you know (or are) a vet within a 100 mile radius of Vermont who would be
willing to do Bone's surgery now and take payments, please let me know!
In addition, we would also be very grateful for
any prayers and positive energy you could send our way right now. I lost my
beloved Do-Dah to a broken spine in 1998, and this is very hard for me, but I
refuse to let Bones die from injuries that could be fixed if only we had money.
I will be working many hours and doing everything I can to get her into surgery
as quickly as possible. The sooner she gets her spine stabilized, the better
chance she will have of ever being able to walk again (she could walk yesterday,
today she can barely stand). Of course, even if she needs a wheelchair, I will
still be keeping her and doing everything I can to help her have as good of
a quality of life as I possibly can. This is my shot at redemption, I believe,
because I could not help Do-Dah when he has this same injury. Please keep us in
your thoughts, if you can, we need all the help we can get.
Bones is a very tiny snowshoe girl, she is a seal
point with ice blue eyes, a big meow, and a loud and grateful purr. I named her
Bones because she was, literally, so thin you could see every bone in her body
when she first arrived (yes, only 3 days of nursing have made a huge difference
already!). Please send her any positive energy you can spare! She has such a big
heart, for such a poor little thing!

I collect KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil, a 3 yr old special needs cat who must live on a liquid diet for the rest of his life. Bazil's caretaker collects labels and sends them to KMR, where they add up until she earns a free can of formula! PLEASE save your KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil! If you use KMR, even just one can, please ask me for the mailing address
you can send them to, to help feed Bazil!
