OT: Gorgeous Birman + blind Tuxedo--must stay together
This is a sad story. These two beautiful kitties (completely blind) must stay together they are losing their home very soon. It is hard enough to find a home for one, but this is two must be two. They desperately need someone to allow them to be together love them.

Without delving into too many details and personal information, here it is in a nutshell. It brought me to tears This woman suffers from a chronic health condition and has deteriorated to the point where she can no longer drive and therefore no longer work. Unfortunately, her condition will not get better and only worsen over time. She has exhausted all of her personal savings to pay medical bills and is now forced to give up her home. Her original plan was to move to FL with her sister and bring the cats. But through another sad turn of events, her sister has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. So this is no longer a long term option either. With no other options available, this woman will be moving into subsidized housing soon that will allow only 1 cat. The problem is she has 2 cats, who are so dependent on each other it would be detrimental for them to separate. And the vet who has been caring for these cats for the past few years also agrees with this. Here is some info on the cats and why they desparately need to stay together. Squeak is a purebred Birman who was adopted by this woman in 1998 as an older kitten. Squeak was always a very shy and nervous cat until she met Annie. Annie was found as a baby kitten in this woman's garage in 2001. And Squeak took to her immediately. But something was not right with Annie, and a vet trip confirmed she was blind in one eye from a congenital defect. A year later she lost sight in her other eye and is now completely blind. But she gets around quite well with her buddy Squeak. They play, clean and cuddle each other. They are the best of friends! We are looking for a home with no children or other animals. A quiet home is the best as Squeak is very nervous and Annie is totally blind. I am hoping this home would allow the woman to visit on occasion to see the cats. It would mean so much to her. Also, we will consider a temporary foster home, as this woman needs to go be with her sister in FL in her final months. Please email me if you are interested.

Re: OT: Gorgeous Birman + blind Tuxedo--must stay together
My heart goes out to these dear kitties and their caretaker too. If there were any way on this earth that I could take in more and give them the carethey need, I would. This is just heart-wrenching. One thing I can do though is pray - and I am praying for all of them. They are so beautiful and so dear. I will forward this to anyone I think might be able to help. elizabeth In a message dated 7/29/2006 11:14:12 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: This is a sad story.

NBC Dateline did a documentary on cut-up lettuce and spinach Packaged in plastic bags. They took us through the whole process and Talked about how the Ecoli bacteria is now showing up in the salad Mix in bags. They don't know yet how the Ecoli got in, but they do Know that deaths and serious sicknesses are occurring in many states. One woman told about how her child was near death from the lettuce And was sick for a long time. They warned us not to buy any bag Salads until they find out from the investigation what is causing This contamination. The Dole Company has recalled their bags.

Re: I treated my FeLV+ with Mega C Plus and he's now negative
Marissa, Sorry it took me so long to respond. Anyway, here is the link for ordering the Mega C Plus: https://www1524.boca15-verio.com/belfi3/order.html#megac Let me know if you have trouble getting into it. I ordered the 1/2 kilo (500 gm) size. It will last me forever! This is truly an inexpensive way to treat the virus. I believe I paid only $28.10. Oreo did not have the problems with it that you mentioned; however, he's been on it only 6 weeks. I still have him on it even though he's negative, just in case. It's just the paranoid part of my personality. I may stop at some point, maybe after another negative IFA. Here's a phone number for Belfield Customer Service; they may be able to answer your questions: 1-408-227-9334 I'm still trying to work out the correct dosage for Ellie as she has intermittent diarrhea from it. That's when I back off a bit. Thanks for the congrats. It sure is wonderful to have my boy back! Ellie shows NO signs of sickness so I continue to treat her. Apparently it's possible to shed the virus even after a positive IFA. Best of luck to you. Please let me know how the Mega C Plus works and also if you have any questions.

Re: Matilda, aka Atila the Honey
Oh Nina! How do they find us??? I'm glad she did though. tNina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As happens so often, my latest little refugee from the street found her way to me. One morning about 2 weeks ago, I went to pick up the feral food dishes in my front yard and noticed a little tuxy/tabby gray and white kitty sitting, pretty as you please, watching me from across the street in my neighbor's front yard. Now, I know almost all of the cats and dogs in my neighborhood by name, and I'd never seen this little one before. I went over to introduce myself. She didn't run, she just cautiously stood her ground, sitting in that 'good kitty position', and watched with huge expressive emerald eyes to see what I was up to. My neighbor came out and the little one took off into a back yard. That night, she showed up at my food dishes. I went out to talk to her and saw that she was VERY pregnant! Aaggrh! I brought her a dish of wet food and she hungrily gobbled and growled. She wouldn't let me touch her, but I knew she wasn't truly "feral", only a stray would eat in front of a stranger like that. The next morning she was back at her post across the street. Determined to catch her before she had her litter, I marched over there in my pajamas armed with a carrier and a dish of food. She struggled valiantly against her capture, but she didn't purposely try to scratch, or bite. That night, a kind vet told me that she was emaciated, jaundiced and in danger of losing her life if she delivered her kittens. She was spayed, given fluids and a shot of antibiotics. Sadly, her five little ones never got to see the light of day. The first week of her recovery she barely stirred from her bed, she'd growl everytime I approached with a plate of food, but somehow she still made it to the litter box to relieve herself. It was touch and go, I didn't know if she'd make it, it seemed she'd lost the desire to live. Exactly a week to the day after her surgery she came alive and displayed all the indications of someone suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I can only imagine the horrors she'd faced on the street. It's so obvious that this little darling was loved, protected and cherished at one time. She was ill equipped to deal with the overwhelming task of fending for herself. Can you imagine finding yourself in such a hostile world? Tom's attacking her to mate, terrifying encounters with dogs out for the sport of her blood, and all the time searching and mourning for the comfort and safety she had so recently known. It's no wonder the poor little thing was terrified of any being with four legs and that it took a bit of persuading for her to see that she had finally found a friend in me. My sore back can attest to the hours spent cuddling with her on the bathroom floor. Her need for affection and a feeling of protection was so great that she'd howl and yowl everytime I left her side. I was so concerned for her! By the second day of this behavior, she had cried herself hoarse! None of us got any sleep, unless I was with her. In recent days we've been seeing slow improvement in her ability to view the world as a safe place again. She no longer hurls herself in fright with claws and teeth bared at the screen door that separates her from the rest of my household when she spots one of my other animals. She's still growling under her breath at the dogs, but she's begun to allow my little cat Pistol to keep her company when she sits vigil outside the door. I've been doing my best to reunite her with her former guardian, but so far, no luck. My home, as loving as it is, is crowded with animals and not an appropriate placement for one so emotionally fragile. Please pray that I find her an understanding home that will suit her special needs. One that can lavish love and compassion on this deserving little soul. This little one has so much to share, if only we can find her true forever home.NinaKat wrote:Okay - make that "we 6" -I'm still hear - just up to my eyeballs in work.Nina, I'd love to hear about Matilda aka Atila the Honey.Kat (Mew Jersey)

I just did. I didn't know about them before. Do you know them? They sound like good people. I've read some of the kittie's stories. Do you know if they adopt out or when a cat comes in, is he or she there for life?

(pics) Reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED](at craigslist.org)Date: 2006-07-25, 12:04PM EDTThrough my animal rescue contacts a very sad and unfortunate story has been brought to my attention and I am posting out here, hoping some kind soul might be able to help this woman. Without delving into too many details and personal information, here it is in a nutshell. It brought me to tears… This woman suffers from a chronic health condition and has deteriorated to the point where she can no longer drive and therefore no longer work. Unfortunately, her condition will not get better and only worsen over time. She has exhausted all of her personal savings to pay medical bills and is now forced to give up her home. Her original plan was to move to FL with her sister and bring the cats. But through another sad turn of events, her sister has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. So this is no longer a long term option either. With no other options available, this woman will be moving into subsidized housing soon that will allow only 1 cat. The problem is she has 2 cats, who are so dependent on each other it would be detrimental for them to separate. And the vet who has been caring for these cats for the past few years also agrees with this. Here is some info on the cats and why they desparately need to stay together. 'Squeak' is a purebred Birman who was adopted by this woman in 1998 as an older kitten. 'Squeak' was always a very shy and nervous cat until she met 'Annie'. 'Annie' was found as a baby kitten in this woman's garage in 2001. And 'Squeak' took to her immediately. But something was not right with 'Annie', and a vet trip confirmed she was blind in one eye from a congenital defect. A year later she lost sight in her other eye and is now completely blind. But she gets around quite well with her buddy 'Squeak'. They play, clean and cuddle each other. They are the best of friends! We are looking for a home with no children or other animals. A quiet home is the best as 'Squeak' is very nervous and "Annie' is totally blind. I am hoping this home would allow the woman to visit on occasion to see the cats. It would mean so much to her. Also, we will consider a temporary foster home, as this woman needs to go be with her sister in FL in her final months. Please email me if you are interested. Below are the pics the woman has sent me. Please scroll down to see all 5 Thanks for Reading, Kim Want to be your own boss? Learn how on Yahoo!
