FFRC Weekly Blog Week ending July 27, 2024
Adoptions:
Odie was adopted this week. He had only been here about a month after being found as a stray in a cat colony. He had some health issues and when brought to the vet was so loving that it was decided he would be a great candidate to be adopted when healthy.
He has cryptorchidism (testicles that don’t descend). He also had flea dirt and an eye infection that may need long term or lifetime care. He and his new mom will face each tomorrow, together. He’s about 1 and half years old and will be an only cat. Still not sure on what his name will be (maybe Odie).
New Cats:
None this week!
Health Updates:
Roo went back to the Vet to have her bandages changed. She is doing very well and is even playing in her cage as she recovers from her amputations. Such a love bug. She did decide to take off one of her bandage ‘mittens’. She thinks they are toys. She actually was getting around well. She is in a smaller cage for her own safety and healing.
Rumpelstiltskin went to the Vet for a follow-up and Dr. Darcy believes he doesn’t need a pin removed. She thinks his recent limping may be a bone spur or how he might have twisted his leg. He’s still on bed rest for a few days before he goes back to his apartment with the girls, Nyota and Piet.
Percy, Donny, Allan and DarkCat (the kitten) went up with Humane, Ohio this week and were ‘fixed’. Snooks will probably go next time.
Cheerio’s deep inner ear infection is causing his head to droop a little She’s being treated with meds and she’s improved a lot but we do still have tentative surgery scheduled for August 2 She’s being let out of her cage a little bit to stretch her legs but for her safety, she’s being put safely in a cage overnight.or when no human is around to closely watch her.
Percy’s ringworm is almost totally gone, so he should be off meds soon.
The two new orange babies that didn’t make weight for Humane, Ohio last week are doing much better. Remember both were very sick and one was very, very sick and we were scared for him but he is doing much better. So paws crossed that they both continue progressing.
Other Updates:
Piet is doing well with her new roommate, Nyota. The two are getting along quite nicely.
Jefferson and Porchie are doing much better acclimating to their new world. They are coming down from high up and feeling more confident.
Holds
None at this time.
FYI:
A cat’s purr is the ultimate lullabye”
