There are a few different threads running. One of them says that Angie is going to take Portia.

I hope this can be sorted quickly and portia gets the attention she needs, i would be very worried in this heat that she is going to run into problems

lisa has already posted that CP have offered to help with transport.

If this is an ongoing process then Lisa will have to decide what is best in Portia's interest.

Could anyone help with transport maybe? This seems to be the issue and the main concern at this point to everyone is surely Portias deteriorating state.

whereabouts is she?

I have offered to take Portia in, but she will need signing over to us.
This sort of problems can cost huge amounts to sort out, I know our local CP had a young Ragdoll that had similar problems and they fed it turkey/rice for months. Eventually, another rescue stepped in to take him from them - one with breed experience and knowledge of such cats.

Angie, I am so pleased, I was just in the middle of sending you a PM about it. Keep us updated xxxx

That's great news Angie, hope the poor little one can get sorted as it's worrying so many.

Did you find all that info out on CC Daisy? I did'nt know that Portia was being rehomed!

Yes, poor Lisa has put a posting on catchat saying she needs to re-home Portia, I also think it is on here now as well.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #14 on:** July 02, 2009, 10:23:16 AM »

Just seen it in the H&B Sect!

I do hope this little girl will be okay!

Hi Lisa, I am sorry to hear about Portia and you having to rehome her, that cant of been an easy decision for you to make, I notice on CatChat you have posted that she is now not eating, you really really need to get her to the vets as soon as possible, it is quite urgent if she isnt eating, is she drinking OK ? in this heat she will probably need to drink a lot more than she normally does. Also please please dont take another kitten yet until things are sorted (i noticed your post on here saying you were looking for another cat/kitten), they all cost money and need vet treatment and sometimes it can be very unexpected, one of my cats had an infection and literally got sicker and sicker by the hour, we ended up rushing her to the vets at 10PM which was a £150 call out charge before they had even given her any treatment, she was an otherwise healthy cat that had picked up an infection that literally would have been fatal had we of waited much longer to get her treatment. I know it is hard when you see posts for kittens looking for homes, they all have really sad stories and you want to take them all and look after them, but we just cant help all of them out there. I wish you loads of luck homing Portia, but I would stick with Rosie for a while as a single cat, let her recover from her operation and see how things go in the future re another cat/kitten.

I am glad you she is getting a bit better x

lisa281 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 12, 2009, 13:08:05 PM »

yeah they think its a digestive problem , she is on antib's and a diet of scrambled egg till i take her back to the vets next tuesday , She is still squitting tho but not as much as before and it only seems to be at night when she does it the most

she is baffling me with it all but im sure the vet will eventually sort it

Daisymac · « **Reply #9 on:** June 12, 2009, 12:35:51 PM »

Hi Lisa, any update on Portia ?

lisa281 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 09, 2009, 11:55:25 AM »

yes its not very nice

but hey hopefully she will be better soon

Because she is eating and drinking well , the vets said she is ok till tommorow

Thats good news, I dont know what you can do about containing her rather then what JS suggested about putting a catch on the door. It is awful when you are following round a cat with the squits. xxx

Daisymac · « **Reply #5 on:** June 09, 2009, 11:09:35 AM »

Lisa, is there anyway you could get her to the vets today ?, or will the vets come out to you ?, I am not sure if they charge extra for that ? I really think the quicker you can get her to the vet the better as she doesnt seem to be getting any better. I am nowhere near you so cant help with the pen/cage, but sending you loads of

JackSpratt · « **Reply #4 on:** June 09, 2009, 11:06:15 AM »

Ahhh. OK - go to a local DIY shop, and get a small but effective little catch. Put the catch out of reach of the kids.....

Any holes that are left are generally very small and easily filled in.

lisa281 · « **Reply #3 on:** June 09, 2009, 10:50:15 AM »

Its hard when three kiddys keep letting her out the room

JackSpratt · « **Reply #2 on:** June 09, 2009, 10:48:27 AM »

Nowhere near Lisa, sorry. Any room you could confine her to to minimise the mess?

(I've had a long haired cats get the squits here, I know how messy it can get!)

lisa281 · « **Reply #1 on:** June 09, 2009, 10:39:50 AM »

Hiya
Is anyone in the coventry area that could borrow me a crate to keep portia in till she gets better , Her squits are still bad and its getting everywhere

She is at the vets tommorow so hopefully wont be long before she is sorted .
