Now that covid has calmed down to the point where it's not overwhelming our business and causing me to work 100+ hour weeks, I'm back!
I've missed you all and wanted to update everyone on the changes that happened while I was away.
Diabetic ketoacidosis took my first special needs cat, the one who started it all, Sophie:
This, unfortunately, was followed shortly by a stomach tumor that took my last non special needs cat, Callisto:
However, the universe decided that only having 3 cats in my house was unacceptable. Within the span of 1 week, I got a call about a kitten who was abandoned in a cemetery and living in dirt and sticks. He's crosseyed and has a permanent tilt, and was named Gravedigger or "Gravy" for short:
And then a special needs cat rescue that knows me really well, called me about a kitten with severe CH, who is unable to walk or stand on her own. She was correctly named, Wobbles:
But, the story doesn't end there. Turns out that Gravy bonded so well with a stray (George) that we captured at work, that both George and Gravy are going to live with a coworker of mine (who also has 9 ferrets). Think the universe likes me having less than 5 cats in my house? Think again. I was contacted by a new rescue who said they were having trouble getting a blind, 7 month old kitten adopted. Of course I couldn't say no. So, I'd also like you to meet Bug:
Again, I've missed you all and I hope to be around more often to help answer any questions I can about cats with special needs! I hope everyone is well!
