having talked she thinks the car she saw may have actually dumped Grace.

That is just beyond belief

why would someone do that? I just don't understand it

So glad you have her now T, and its good to hear that with the medication she will likely blossom

Bazsmum · « **Reply #44 on:** August 03, 2009, 16:48:46 PM »

Oh Wow! So glad that nothing major has popped up in her tests! She is lovely T (yes Des a much thinner Rosie!

) and Im sure in your care she will bloom!

People will never cease to amaze me, I cant sleep of a night worrying about other peoples babes never mind my own, to abandon a 20yr old when she is needing help the most is so callous! Karma~~~~~~~10 fold!

Pretty good results for a 20 year old cat - go Grace.

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #42 on:** August 03, 2009, 13:02:26 PM »

Oh dear, just read this thread here at work, and wish I had waited until I got home.

How horrible must someone be to abandon poor Grace?!

Thank goodness you have her Teresa. Poor little girl

How can anyone abandon a blind, poorly old cat to ~~fend for herself~~ die in the road? Now that she's safe, I hope Grace responds quickly to her thyroid medication.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #40 on:** August 03, 2009, 12:31:18 PM »

She looks so similar to Rosie, bless her. I am glad she is safe and responds well to the thyroid meds

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #39 on:** August 03, 2009, 12:26:08 PM »

Andy just phoned with results
Liver and Kidneys only slightly raised- good sign
Glucose so so unlikely to have diabetes probs

Thyroid sky high so will start her on medication straight away and hopefully this little flower will bloom again.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #38 on:** August 03, 2009, 11:02:01 AM »

Glad Gracey is doing alright, despite her advancing years.

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #37 on:** August 03, 2009, 11:01:06 AM »

I have to say she's a carbon copy of dear Teddy (RIP). I scooped him up from a bunch of ferals and he was in a similar state. He wasn't feral but the ferals took pity on him and let him hang out with them.

Poor Teddy had such bad teeth you could smell him if he stood at your feet.

We never did find who he belonged to... but can't say I tried very hard as they clearly hadn't taken him to a vet for years.

Estimates of Teddy's age went up and up and up with each vet visit.

We made him comfy despite liver failure and he went to live with Caroline. It was his love of food that stopped Teddy from giving up for so long... Caroline even found him inside her fridge sitting on the shelf gumming the hell out of a cooked beef joint.

Teddy had 9 very happy final months with Caroline before he went to the bridge and we always remember him with a smile of pride that we could do that for him.

Dear Grace sounds and even looks the same as Teddy. I do hope she has at least some quality time before she passes and I know Teresa will try her best to get that to happen.

poor Grace, 20!!! how can somebody not be missing her, unless her owner has died poor thing and she has become a burden to the family - glad she is safe with you teresa

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #35 on:** August 03, 2009, 10:43:01 AM »

Grace is simply adorable, been to vets this morning and Andy is going to ring later with results,testing for kidneys, diabetes and thyroid, she hasn't a single tooth in her mouth and Andy estimates 20 years old, catarracts on both eyes and blind. He has given me some kaolin to help will her tummy and prescribed thyroid meds in anticipation; will update when I have results.
Meanwhile Grace the gannet is happily tucking into a late breakfast as she was starved in anticipation of bloods being required.

I hope Grace had a good night and the vet visit goes well today. Sending her lots of love.

Oh Grace, you have the best possible Mummy now, she will look after you xxx

clarenmax · « **Reply #32 on:** August 02, 2009, 18:36:11 PM »

Bless you guys, Grace is now in the very safest of hands, hope she has some good quality time at the Inn

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #31 on:** August 02, 2009, 18:17:51 PM »

Aw... Aunty T!

I know what you mean about rather be an old dear and blind than be a baby and blind.

Whatever happens and whatever time Grace has left will be comfy ones, though. That's why I was crying... it could all have so so different but for a string of remarkable coincidences and it feels good to be have been a link in the chain that got Grace to safety.

Aw... I'm off again. Pass the Kleenex.

Janeyk · « **Reply #30 on:** August 02, 2009, 17:42:15 PM »

awwww, bless the little love

well done Claire and Teresa for caring for her when she so needs it

Bazsmum · « **Reply #29 on:** August 02, 2009, 17:37:43 PM »

Aw bless her, she is such a babe and I am so happy that she is in the bestest hands (and feet!

) with our Aunty T!

Well Done to all concerned for helping this lovely lady out!

Positive vibes being sent for her vet visit tomorrow~~~~Best of Luck!

woodlandcats · « **Reply #28 on:** August 02, 2009, 17:34:05 PM »

O, I'm so pleased with this happy ending, (for now at least)
If you mistake such an old lady for a kitten, you must be pretty ignorant

The poor cat, she must have been so scared!

Well, thank goodness for you, Teresa and Claire.

I'm crying now too.

Liz · « **Reply #26 on:** August 02, 2009, 16:17:49 PM »

I'm sure our late Miss Gracie will watch over this little lady

Now safe with T and the Paws Inn Crew where she will be treasured for however long

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #25 on:** August 02, 2009, 16:16:29 PM »

We have called this delightful little lady Grace, she is in a bad way just passed blood y diarhoea, will get her vet checked tomorrow and see what we can to to make her more comfortable, she is an absolute darling and I am delighted that she is old,far better to be old and blind than a blind baby if you know what I mean.
The lady who brought her was lovely and knowledgeable to her own species of rescue, having talked she thinks the car she saw may have actually dumped Grace. Thank God for good people like her.

Julie I hope your little cry was tears of joy

I thought the same, hoping that this story has a happy ending too. Now she's with Teresa there's every chance it will

Jasmine · « **Reply #23 on:** August 02, 2009, 16:03:27 PM »

Poor darling, reminds me of our tabby Martha (RIP) - we used to call her 'Boney M' when we first had her.

Pleased she is safe & sound and tucking into Sunday lunch, bless her.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #22 on:** August 02, 2009, 15:48:01 PM »

That's one skinny cat....doesn't mean she's not lovely though.

At least if she does have serious health problems she's in a place where people will know what to do.

Teresa, (and Claire) - you guys are wonderful!!

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #21 on:** August 02, 2009, 15:34:00 PM »

poor kitty, but so lucky to find herself in your care, Teresa

bunglycat · « **Reply #20 on:** August 02, 2009, 15:29:51 PM »

So pleased this poor girl is now safe and sound .
Well done to all involved

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #19 on:** August 02, 2009, 15:20:00 PM »

For the record, the lady that found her and intially asked for help was an extremely nice and caring woman who helps animal rescues regularly... but cats aren't her speciality and I think she would admit that herself.

LadyJane · « **Reply #18 on:** August 02, 2009, 15:14:38 PM »

Oh the poor love, lots and lots of vibes coming from us.

Well done Aunty T

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #17 on:** August 02, 2009, 15:13:59 PM »

Oh how fabulous ... She will be safe and well looked after at Paws Inn. Well done T for helping this little lady. Even though the lady who rescued her obviusly didn't know much about cats she DID at least stop and help which is more than can be said for many others ... so, well done her as well.

bonnielass · « **Reply #16 on:** August 02, 2009, 15:12:15 PM »

Poor little girl

im so glad she is no longer roaming the streets looking for help, im sure she will recieve the very best at Paws Inn, thank god that lady found her even if she didnt know the difference between a kitten and oldie, i dread to think what would have happened to her if she hadnt

her little face in the last picture tugs the heart strings

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #15 on:** August 02, 2009, 15:05:27 PM »

Oh, god love her...!

I suspected that the lady that found her didn't know the first thing about cats, so I wasn't wrong there.

Good luck my princess... Aunty T will look after you nicely now and you won't be hungry anymore.

Thank you so much T.... I'm off for a little cry now.

ClaireR · « **Reply #14 on:** August 02, 2009, 15:01:35 PM »

Hi

The blind kitten is now at Paws Inn and I can confirm that :-

1. Kitten is infact at least a 15 years old female
2. We think she is in kidney failure and has possible thyroid problems
3. Looks like she has glaucoma
4. She has worn a collar previously but is not microchipped

I am sure Teresa will give you an update later on as she decided what is needed next.

She is happy in a pen for now and tucking into some food with a turkey treat.
