He sounds a lovely man

Just to let you all know Jesiri is doing very well. We change his bandage every two days and he seems to cope well. He loves his food but sleeps alot... But his eyes folllow you around all the time. He has a lovely temperament and loves his chin tickled.. Afraid to say i am falling in love with him...............

Sending positive healing vibes to this very beautiful boy.
Thank goodness he`s with you Sharon

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #121 on:** August 01, 2007, 07:32:30 AM »

Aww, he is lovely.

clearly the vet has never been to fashion school. Pink! on a redhead!!! Surely a vibrant emerald green would be better

... Glad to see him looking so well.

He os lovely and you are right about the enormous bandage.............think blue would go better with his suit

I been away so will try and send my cheque tomorrow.

awwwww, sooooo sweet

Think he should get a boy coloured bandage at the next change as he is such handsome boy

JackSpratt · « **Reply #114 on:** July 31, 2007, 09:56:58 AM »

Awww, he's lovely. He looks thoroughly confused!

Oh bless him, sorry I couldnt help but giggle about his bandage

Hi all
With much devious means using my camera, i have managed to get some photos out of it. Although dosnt really solve the problem with my PC and camera, this is via my laptop.

But just so you know what he looks like....

clarenmax · « **Reply #111 on:** July 31, 2007, 08:54:56 AM »

Such a brave puss, so pleased that after all his suffering he's on the way to a good recovery, and then a wonderful new forever home I hope.

Janeyk · « **Reply #110 on:** July 31, 2007, 08:30:32 AM »

Well done to that very brave kitty, he is a right little soldier.

Liz · « **Reply #109 on:** July 31, 2007, 08:28:25 AM »

What a wonderful story of courage and love from your end

lets hope he continues on his healing way and Tiger our feral alpha male says he has a stump where his tail used to be ( losst to an RTA April 2001 when he was still very feral so cage rest was a challange!) and it can still move with attitude!!!

Lots of purrs and healing thoughts

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #108 on:** July 31, 2007, 08:11:38 AM »

Aww, he is a very lucky cat, and I hope he makes a wonderful recovery.

Mark · « **Reply #107 on:** July 30, 2007, 22:41:45 PM »

What a brave little soldier

Where is he Sharon? - Maybe I could get some pics tomorrow as I probably have time to nip over to Sharns to get the kitten pics. I still can't get my head around a vaet who is supposed to care about animals, letting him suffer like that for the sake of a couple of £ in meds.

Jesiri sounds a very brave little puss.

Vet reckons he had all those injuries for over a week to 10 days before he was taken to the vets and then another week at the other vets. So probabaly a good 3 wks worth there.. I am amazed he survived feeding himself as a stray.

Thats heartbreaking, to think that he was struggling like that.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #104 on:** July 30, 2007, 19:11:44 PM »

Hello all
Update on our Jesiri
I wanted to upload some photos but my camera is having a bad day... Bare with me...
Jesiri is very thin, but seems a very good patient. He probably isnt a year old.. He will probably loose his tail, but he has to go back in 3wks for the jaw inplant to be removed,so they will probabaly do that then.. The jaw is broken at the side and not the middle and a dodgy canine is keeping it all together. They have left that in so they have something to fix the jaw too.

He dosnt seem too bothered.

The dressing on his leg is huge, a great pink bandage!! A sweet liittle cat, that is abit bemused by all the attention.. vet reckons with TLC and time he will be 95 percent healthy in around 2 months or so time.. He has fabalous yellow eyes and very cute face... At the moment he is very weary and his eyes seem to follow your around the room and then he nods of every now again.

He hasnt moved from his igloo all afternoon but he has biscuits and food to keep him occupied, but he is confined to a kitten pen for at least the next 4 wks or so... He does put weight on his leg, but his pelvis makes him walk (if you can call it walking) very funnily indeed.. His tail just hangs there but he can feed and go to the loo fine.. He is keeping himself very clean and tries to wash himself every now again..

He weigh just over 2.5kilograms, but eats well, the jaw not causing him too much trouble.. He is on meds and dressing changing every two days..

A real wonder puss, his small size helping his injuries i think... The pelviis is broken but rest should allow it to heal, not to keen you touching his leg though...He hasnt bitten or growled or anything..A real sweetie..

Vet reckons he had all those injuries for over a week to 10 days before he was taken to the vets and then another week at the other vets. So probabaly a good 3 wks worth there.. I am amazed he survived feeding himself as a stray.

Well worth saving? I think so............

Thanks a million everybody..

Excellent news.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #102 on:** July 28, 2007, 18:48:36 PM »

I am just so thrilled to hear that Jesiri will be coming home to you, Canterbury Cats, and on all four legs too

I have mailed my little contribution, but there was a post strike up here, apparently, so it may not arrive until Tuesday.

to Jesiri and his carers

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #101 on:** July 28, 2007, 18:41:41 PM »

Jesiri is coming home to us on Monday...

At the moment his bill is running at around £600.00,which is probably around the same as Baz was overall. However, we need to do his dressings every 3 days or so and he will need an xray in a month or so...He will be on painkillers and antiobitcs but i think that is it...

Keep you all posted when i know more..

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #100 on:** July 28, 2007, 13:53:18 PM »

I've just spoken to the vet treating Jesiri on a different matter. He tells me everybody there is in love with this puss and he's hopeful for a decent recovery. He wants to take it slow, though. He says he's responding well so far. Little Jesiri is cetainly in very good hands now.

clarenmax · « **Reply #99 on:** July 28, 2007, 13:21:57 PM »

That's fantastic news

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #98 on:** July 28, 2007, 08:10:56 AM »

I think Jeseri has more than one Guardian Angel watching over him.
Sending lots of positive healing vibes.

Janeyk · « **Reply #97 on:** July 28, 2007, 08:08:30 AM »

Brilliant News!!

I'll send cheque today

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #96 on:** July 28, 2007, 07:56:42 AM »

Wow, this is so wonderful to hear, I truly hope he does well and that cage rest works wonders for him.

blackcat · « **Reply #95 on:** July 28, 2007, 07:19:07 AM »

Excellent news. Will be glad to hear updates. It was good to catch up with you all yesterday

Mark · « **Reply #94 on:** July 27, 2007, 23:37:43 PM »

Great news Sharon, he deserves a bit of luck after his previous bad (Non) treatment. It makes a nice change to hear things like that. Must be a mix of good luck and youth + a lot of TLC

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #93 on:** July 27, 2007, 23:18:59 PM »

This sounds like a miricle and my cheque will be in the post over the weekend

Come Jesiri, get well soon

Possibly because he is so young he is healing quicker than an older cat would, hats off to the new vet.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #92 on:** July 27, 2007, 22:17:40 PM »

Keep us posted...

carl (billy and baggys dad) · « **Reply #91 on:** July 27, 2007, 21:31:49 PM »

Awesome news!!!

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #90 on:** July 27, 2007, 21:07:13 PM »

BTW I will get photos to you as soon as i can, but at the moment the poor mite has been through so much and i didnt want to ask poor Isobel to do photos as she has enough on her plate.. You will have photos as soon as he is with us.....

However, i gather he may not look his best....!!

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #89 on:** July 27, 2007, 20:52:53 PM »

FAB NEWS, A MAJOR MIRACLE! I AM IN AWE!!

Jesiri still has four legs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After xrays it was found the leg had started to heal and thus talk with specialist vet and discussion as to all the options. It was decided he be fixed up with a plaster and dressing to aid healing.. He does have a broken pelvis (in an unusual place but nothing to be done but cage rest). He has got a broken jaw (but not so bad as Basil case) AND if that wasnt bad enough this wonder puss may end up losing part of his tail.

All in all this puss should be dead!"!!!!! But he is still alive and kicking and one amazing puss................................

So all he needs know is time and a great deal of luck that the infection can be kept under control and that 5 or 6 wks of cage rest will allow the leg to heal.. It may not be perfect (far from it) and we have a way to go before he is on the real road to recovery, but i am amazed. And thanks to the dedication of the vets and Isobel our welfare officer he may have a good chance of recovery...........

He may be able to come home weekend to me after Baz has been rehomed (he is well on the road to recovery and a cheeky little monkey!!). My niece a vet nurse will hopefully be okay doing his dressings and we then just have to hope for the best for this puss. .Who truely is lucky to be alive..

I want to thank all you wonderful people out there who have donated money to his operation and aftercare.. It will be used to aid his recovery. He will need xrays in the future, lots of dressing changes, med for the infection and pain relief, jaw fixture removal, maybe tail amputation in the future and something money cannot buy load of love and TLC. I wish there was something we could set up for other cats like Jesiri for the future, perhaps a fund that Purrs could handle, and then every so often it is given out to so needy causes of cats in a desperate situation.. We are in awe of your help and particularly this time of year when funds are running low....Its humbling to see how well a Forum such as this can make a difference to an animals life....so that rather then money being the issue to help him, it was at least taken out the equation, as we were able to get specialist help to aid decisions. Both vets have been wonderful in just doing their best.

Best wishes to you all...

Hello again!
So right about the ennelope having that on it.. So folks far better to just put something on back of chq. My thought i should of thought about that abit more..

Hope you don't mind I've edited your original post to take out all the 'mark the envelope' references. Will send my donation after payday still if that's OK. Paws crossed that Jesiri makes a quick recovery

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #87 on:** July 27, 2007, 17:44:24 PM »

i am sure he will cope well, Pebbles did and she was 11. Good luck with him, and at least you know you did everythign you could, and that amputation is the best thing for him.
