I look at it this way... if they
wanted the cat in the first place, they would have posted her as
missing at all the local vet's offices, so I've done enough already.
I just went to tend to her, and she
can't get up. Her back is very unstable now. She is going to need
surgery to stabilize the fractures (I am sure it is her back now). I'm
going to call around tomorrow and see how much it is going to cost. If
there is any way I can get her fixed, I will do it. I REFUSE to let
this happen AGAIN. It's almost as if I have been given another chance
to do the right thing this time. I don't know if you remember me ever
telling you guys about Do-Dah... he broke his back, and at the time I
was told to euthanise him and was not given any other options, and even
if I had had them at the time, I could never have raised the funds to
get him fixed (I was 8 months pregnant at the time and couldn't work).
Then there was KiKi, he was hit by a car and I did not get to him in
time, and he died because I wasn't responsible enough to keep him
indoors. And then Moogie, who looked as sick as this cat did when I
first got her, she died, and I've already gotten Bones past that point
with home nursing. This is SO deja-vu, it's almost pushing me in the
direction of believing in a higher power. KiKi was hit by a car, most
likely this cat was too; Do-Dah broke his back, most likely this cat
has too; Moogie was bone thin, dehydrated, and weak, this cat was too.
I've regretted my mistakes the last time for years, and have always
wanted to "make it right", and now, here it is, right in front of me. I
am NOT going to let this cat die from injuries that can be fixed. I
don't care if I have to work 60 hour weeks and beg on the street with a
tin cup. I'm going to find out which vet around here can DO this kind
of surgery tomorrow, and I'm going to ask them if I can arrange to send
donations directly to their office. If that's doable, then I will do a
very in depth donations campaign online and see if I can get some
funding that way too. Of course, I plan to spend every dime I have to
spare on her too. Pay rent, buy cat food, buy the minimal amount of
human groceries, and put everything else into Bones. I am NOT going to
be forced into the same corner again, I refuse to take no for an answer
this time. I will buy this cat a wheelchair if she needs one. This is
not happening to me again! If this is some sort of test, I will pass
it, If this is some sort of redemption, I will be redeemed. I am not
going to fail, I will not let this cat down! I know I must sound
crazed, but if you had been in my shoes, you would be this way too.

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!
