Five more cats, all from Millersburg, are up being fixed today. Photos below. The black and white kitten from the trashed trailer colony, is a female. The vet just called. She has a hole in her right eye, near rupture, likely from severe URI, but possibly from a injury caused by kitten play, and they have sharp claws, or berry bramble thorn. The vet thinks she might retain the eye, with treatment, but it is a big question mark, since the hole is through the eyes' outer layer and only the cornea lies between the hole and total rupture. Sad. I didn't want to take in another high needs cat, let alone treat a feral kittens' damaged eye. But.....complications always seem to arise in helping unwanted cats. These cats are fed by people, but so far they want no involvement other than plopping down some food.
Owned torti from Millersburg road, being spayed today.
Tame owned male, from Millersburg road.
This little guy got dumped at Millersburg country colony by a friend of the grand daughter, who moved back to India. I guess she claimed she was only going back to India for a visit, but has never returned. She claimed she'd be back for the cat, but it's been weeks now.
This is the black and white female kitten from the trashed out trailer, with the compromised right eye that will need extensive treatment, if not removal.
Black long hair, from the Millersburg trashed out trailer colony. The feeders think this is a female, but it looks all boy to me.
This is one of the two females fixed from the trailer colony last week. I took the photo last night, through the window of my car. You can see her right eartip, if you look closely. The other female I trapped last week at the trailer, a brown tabby, pregnant at spay, a friend of mine in Corvallis adopted her and promptly named her Isabelle. She's doing great, right Diane?

She spends her entire day in Mark's lap while he's working at the computer. Sad thing...she has nightmares and cries while she's sleeping. He wakes her up and pets her and she snuggles down again. She doesn't want to be too far away from people. She sleeps on the bed at night too. She's not too fond of the other cats,at meal times she growls -- that's to be expected since she didn't have much food. The others just take a wide berth around her. They'll get used to her. She howled when we tried to keep her separated, but since she came back negative for FIV etc, we let her out of the spare room. She's a tiny little doll and she's not going to get any bigger since she's close to 2 years old.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story. Thanks, Diane and Mark, for adopting the little sweetie....and a billion thanks yet again, Strayer, for being the amazing person you are.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it ended well for her. It's horrible for the cats when their people abandon them. Miss Daisy still has nightmares sometimes, too.
