close to death

by naomi morales
(hinesville GA)

I just found a siamese cat..his eyes are crusted shut.he's all skin and bones he has burs and fecal matter knotted in his fur and a broken foot.and black PUSSY I cleaned out of his ears..its 20 degrees out and he's clearly been on his own for some period of time.he's now in my home drinking water.ate some soft food..I've cleaned his ears and eyes ,picked off every bur,and brushed him,removed all fecal matter and cleaned his bum..I'm hopping he will not give up now.I can only pray his will to hang on can grow.and he makes it till i have the money to get him medical attention he so despretly needs.:had I found him two days ago I would not have spent so much on grocerys..I have another roxy I adopted because her owner deployed to Afghanistan..when I see her n him I breaks my heart even more so visually see the extreme difference..and realise how diar his situation really is..

 So sorry for your loss.
by: angelina diantonio

I did not mean to insult you in any way.Over the years I have spent thousands and thousands on my rescues.At the moment I am maxed out on everything credit card wise.I just wanted to help with the clinics and humaine societies.It can be very costly.I am very sorry for your loss.

Sadly the blood work on this kitty came back and he was in the late stages of feline CRF and I had to put him to sleep yesterday.it was a verry sad and heartbreaking thing to do.I held him till he fell asleep,and again till he passed on.I got verry attached in only a few short weeks.I've never put a animal to sleep and I hope I never have to again...I thought he was getting better after his vaccinations and antibiotics that cleared up his eyes.tho the seizures became worse and more frequent.the vet said the right thing to do was to end his suffering..doing the right thing is not always easy..and he won't soon be forgotten.

 i started a fund rasier
by: naomi

I am working with a local vet and have started fundrasier for my new family member.if the shelters took him i was advised he was too far gone n would have to be put down.witch is why I kept him..this was my story not a cry for help...my pets have there own room in my house every new treat n food I come across.I care for pets with a educated mind..he's still too weak for all he needs done.his eyes r now open n a beautiful crystal blue,he's hydrated,eating well roaming around socializing with my other pets,who r showing concern n composition for hi.we cant fix the broken foot till the infection is gone.tho my heart still breaks for these dreams he seems to have.he howels.I pick him up to wake him n reasure him he's safe now n he wraps his arms around me n holds tight for a few min.until he's fully awake and sure the worst now is just a +memorie.he follows me every where n loves to engage me in conversation.now hes strong enuf to be vocal...thank you all for ur concern.n being so helpful n caring.

 Please get the cat to a Vet or clinic.
by: angelina diantonio

Call around or go to a vet you know.Tell them you have no money and this cat needs help now or will die.You have to have a humaine Society or cat rescue around.

 Close to Death

Dear Naomi,

This sounds really bad, poor little cat and you were so good to help him, take him in and try to save him, and hopefully now with a bit of loving care and attention he will pull through. Please try and get him to a vet, even a charity vet as he will probably need to be given a thorough check and some anti-biotics, but cats are very resilient and hopefully with a bit of care and attention and cleaning he will pull through.

We need more angels like you in the world to help those poor helpless animals who have no voice.

Best of luck,

Beatrice from Ireland
