Make us your vacation destination!
We would love to have you come visit the cats and help out
(volunteer) for a few days. We promise you lots of kitty
lovings from the cats. We have a large 3 bedroom, 2 bath
house available for visitors (with kitchen etc).
We have staff here Thursday-Monday nights for late
visiting with the cats. You may also do boxes in the
evening with Christina on Ustream.tv
Cat Updates
Ernest is hanging in there, eating and active on
the interferon and PI. He goes back in next
Wednesday for blood work to see how his system
is doing. We took him in to re-do his blood work
last week and were pleased. It does show the
disease is progressing but very slowly. He is
eating, has regained a bit of weight. The medicines
are helping. The polyprenyl Immunostimulant is
not super cheap but is effective. We will test again
next week. We just have to cross our fingers now
that the FIP stays in the dry form.

Autumn
Autumn went back to Raleigh to see the oncologist
and sadly all tests show her cancer is back. We are
heartbroken! She went through almost a years
worth of radiation and chemo with high hopes for
a cure. Sadly that is not going to be. The cancer
has spread. We are giving her steroids and
interferon to try to hold the cancer at bay for as long
as possible. The vet thinks that she has months at
best. If we tried another round of chemo she
might buy an additional 6 months. We have elected
not to put her through that again. She hates being
in the care, being poked with needs etc. We
want her last months to be full of peace and love.
She is still eating and playing. She will let us know
when it is time to let her go.
Sweet Casey had started losing weight despite
having a healthy appetite. We took her to
our vet for a full work up. Her blood work
was concerning enough that we asked for an
immediate referral to take her to the vets
in Raleigh. $4100 later we still do not
have a 100% answer. She has a large mass
showing up on her chest x-rays. The biopsy
of them show that it is some kind of bacterial
infection. We are now having to wait for
them to grow the samples and see what is
effective against it. Th vets also did
say that what they are seeing could actually
be a mass behind a bacterial infection. We
have her home with a feeding tube while
we wait to see what antibiotics we need
to treat her. She is going back to Raleigh
in 2 weeks to see how things are progressing.
Cookie
Cookie had a much desperate needed dental
by our local vet. She is going back to the
dental vet for a consult Monday and have
another dental scheduled. My local vet
does not have dental X-rays, I want to make
sure no roots were left behind or any
problems left in her mouth that could not
be seen with out x-rays. She behaves like
she feels much better already.
Toby
Toby has been renamed Tabitha, because
he was actually a she. (I will admit that
I did not get personal with her private
parts and her hair was hiding things)
She has been spayed, her eyes taken care
of, has started eating better, is obviously
feeling better.
