Nero is no better, still not eating.  Bloods from hospital came back clear so are now sending samples to outside lab including faeces sample he did last night of green diarrhoea :sick:


They are trying to syringe feed him A/D and have now put him on a drip.


He is in the best place for him but the worst for me, more expense I cannot afford and working there doesn't make it any easier really, I already owe them about £1,700 so basically I am working for free for the next six months. :'(

Nero is still in the hospital and still not eating.  Has been tested for FeLV/FIV and negative on both thankfully.  Our Biochemistry machine is bust so can't get blood results on him today but hopefully it will be up and running tomorrow so we can find out if there is anything showing on there, otherwise it is a mystery.  His temperature had risen a little to 103 so he's had synulox injection but he is certainly not his happy little self. :(


 :thanks:  for asking after him.

 :( Poor little pups Rest easy sweethearts  :Luv: :Luv:

Are the RSPCA doing anything in your area hun?  :-:

I feel so much for all of you cause how do you turn away a little being treated like that, it's impossible. Thanks god little Squeaky has a chance at a loving life know but i feel so much for you and all the rescues at the mo.

It at times like this when you do envy the rich, cause they have the means to really help.

You all have my thoughts and love always  :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Another two of the pups died over the last night so only two white ones left but I don't hold out much hope.


Have a new kitty in called Squeaky who was rescued from a home where the kids were spinning her round by her tail and head but the person who rescued her was unable to keep her as she was eight months pregnant.  Yet another one given my number by the RSPCA.


Had a call from a woman today looking for homes for three five month old kittens (from her own cat).  Unfortunately, I explained to her that I am now full and was unable to help but suggested she put posters up in local vets etc.  Also told her to contact Cats Protection for neutering vouchers as if not careful her three will expand rapidly.  Unfortunately, I don't think she took too much notice but advised her to at least try and find a home for the one female (though probably the mum is still not neutered, so that won't make much difference).


Have also had a call from a chap looking for good homes for four kittens.  Am about to phone him back to explain the situation ie, I am looking for good homes for about 50 cats.

Well, Mike forgave me for the three newbies and one of them has already been reserved so that was a bonus.  He has forgiven me so much that he said yes when the RSPCA asked me to take in a 17 week old male tabby.  His owner turned up at their door with him as her autiistic had almost drowned him in the bath!!  They had cat flu at the centre and also have 18 coming in over the next week from an RSPCA case so little Nero, as he has been named, has joined us.


He turned up with his owners and when they got him out of the car he was not even in a basket, just on a harness and stinking of cigarette smoke.  He is now living in the kitchen with Shelby, and the newbies Wolfie (he looks like a mini Werewolf and his new owners like the name so much they are keeping it,) Chanel and Mungo.


Nearly turned into puppy rescue this afternoon.   Had a little of Boxer pups at work - mum died on the operating table whilst have a c-section - and me and one of the Nurses were going to bring two each home to handrear but Vet decided owner should take responsibility for them.  (I'm afraid I don't hold out much hope of them surviving - 12 delivered, only four left).


So, despite going through the trauma of losing Thomas today, things never get slower here.

Unfortunately, no time to mourn, another three kittens picked up last night, ginger tortie and black.  At least the black one will be lost to Mike amongst all the other black ones but a bit hard to hide a Ginger Ninja.   There's already ad tortie and white and two black and whites he doesn't know about in the kitten room.

sending loads of these  :hug: :hug: :hug: from Me Marl & Garf to you all.


It's piccies like that which make it all worthwhile, thanks Tan.


Jess' baby (now named Widget) doing well today although her sister had a funny turn this morning but is recovering now.  Another one that really doesn't want to eat solids but won't take milk from me either!.    Have been given her glucose solution during the day and she is much better now and I'm finger feeding her some meat which seems to have the desired effect.


Widget looks a right mess, has lost most of her fur on her face and chest from getting so mucky so has huge looking "bug" eyes Mike says but she is certainly a fighter.  Hope she passes that on to her sister.

Unfortunately, if I don't do the car boots then I am struggling to feed them all - I know it only raises a bit, but here every little bit helps.
