Thank you so much to everyone that shared so generously
of their time coming to open house! We had visitors from
Canada, Ohio, New York & California! If you would like to

house page http://bcrstories.org/visit0415.htm
CAT UPDATES
Ernest is hanging in there, eating and active on
the interferon and PI. He goes back in on
Wednesday for blood work to see how his system
is doing.
Candy went to the vet and lost 10 teeth! She had a
condition called Feline tooth resorption cysts, it is common
and very painful. I will do an article about it below.
I know she must feel so much better. (Her legs are
shaved from the vet)
Treasure lost 2 more teeth and sadly they were
his canines so now his tongue sticks out :)
Natalie lost 9 teeth. She also had dental cysts
We never had a clue her mouth had to be hurting
her so badly.
Richey lost 4 teeth. He also had dental cysts.
Wendy is hanging in there, eating, holding her
weight on her own.
Neil from Canada being silly during boxes with the pink
wig holding Angel
Amber from Ohio with Pixie,
Paul and Candy
Lisa from California with Candy
Romona from Ohio with Paul & Candy
New Kitties
Sasha
Sasha is FELV+ and came to us from the Dillion
Animal Control center. A very high kill animal shelter.
She is very sweet but sure not happy with the other cats.
She loved open house! If you are a sponsor that has lost
one your kitties, (Jake, Cheetah, Garfield) she is looking
for sponsors, please email me ( alana@blindcatrescue.com )
to switch over to her :) Or if you would like to sponsor her,
her page can be found at http://blindcats.org/sasha.htm
You may watch her live on http://ustream.tv.blindcatrescue
on Monday’s.
Autumn has been slowly consistently losing weight, she has been
to our regular vet twice in the last 2 weeks for it. She is active
eating and acting pretty normal. She is going to the oncologist
Tuesday 4/21 in Raleigh.
Cookie
Cookie came to us from the Dillon Animal Control Center. A
very high kill animal shelter. Cookie had tested FELV+, the
volunteers had told me about her when they brought me
Sasha, I had told them no that time but told them to IFA test
her, Ernest had just tested FIP positive, there was a possibility of
an opening. The volunteers called me a week later and
told me this story. Cookie had been put into a carrier (like
you take your cats to the vet in)(no litter box or anything)
by the Animal Control Staff (actually convicts take care of
the animals from the prison) Anyway, she was put in the
carrier to be taken to be euthanized. Somehow she ended
up in a room with carriers and never taken. Also not fed,
or anything else. She was found in that carrier on Saturday
by volunteers laying in her own filth. They called and begged
me to take her. After that story how on earth could I say no?
She stinks to high heck. Poor thing is scared but friendly.
She has had 2 baths and still stinks. Has come down with
the animal control upper respiratory infection (they all do)
We have her on antibiotics and she will go to the vet on
Wednesday for a full physical and another bath by the
groomer. She loves to be scratched above her tail, she does
an immediate butt popup when you do that :)
If you are a sponsor that has lost one your kitties,
(Jake, Cheetah, Garfield) she is looking for sponsors, please
email me ( alana@blindcatrescue.com ) to switch over to her :)
Or if you would like to sponsor her, her page can be found at
http://blindcats.org/cookie.htm You may watch her live
on http://ustream.tv.blindcatrescue on Monday’s after she
comes out of quarantine.
Toby
Toby came to us from Bladen Animal Control. I received a text
from the rescue that works with the shelter with the message that
he had just come into the shelter and was going to be put down in
2 hours if they could not find a rescue for him. He is blind.
North Carolina law is that if an animal comes into animal control
sick, injured or blind (that word is actually in there, boggles my
mind) they could be immediately euthanized without a stray hold.
Toby is sick with a bad upper respiratory infection and eye infection.
Because he arrived late Friday afternoon we started him immediately
on antibiotics for the URI and eye antibiotics for the eye infection.
He is very frighten but friendly. He was taken to the vet first
thing this morning for blood work etc. We were SHOCKED to
find that he was actually not FIV or FELV+. Being an intact
stray male, the odds were good of FIV.
This was taken Sunday, he actually looks better here
than he did on Friday.
If you are a sponsor that has lost one your kitties,
(Jake, Cheetah, Garfield) he is looking for sponsors, please
email me ( alana@blindcatrescue.com ) to switch over to him:)
Or if you would like to sponsor him, his page can be found at
http://blindcats.org/toby.htm You may watch her live
on http://ustream.tv.blindcatrescue on Wednesdays after he
comes out of quarantine.

Regarding Feline Tooth Resorption, I am going to
give you a link to the article that gives you the best
information in simpler English that we can understand.

Questions you need to ask your vet,
1. Do you have dental x-rays?
2. Did you take more classes about dentals than
the 1 hour that is offered in vet school (yes that is
all they basically get in vet school, that was told me
me by one of my vets.
We have the cats going to a veterinary dentist now
because our regular vet does not have the x-ray
equipment or additional dental training. A regular
vet without dental x-rays can not get an accurate look
at what is going on with your cat’s mouth. Just like when
YOU go to your dentist, they take X-rays to see what is going on
with your teeth. (smile)
