This two-colored pretty face baby....









..., called Muppet Show, is the latest one in a spring series of spaying/neutering. Some of you might remember her perched on a tree.What a wonderful, strange little face. It is female.
Also, the stripy one is another female, Pukilence, which had been spayed, and the white blue eyed kitten (Danica thinks he is around 5 months old), is under antibiotic treatment for different infections. His name is Chris, for he was found on (Orthodox) Easter Sunday.





Also, Danica called me last night just to say that she finally managed to capture Zlatan (the yellow stripy one with several open wounds). He is going to the vet tomorrow.



The only bad thing with all this is the cost. Fortunately, Diane, one of Danica's precious donors, has just let me know she is sending good donation this month. Good bless Danica's friends and donors!

Two black toms... and other news







Danica has managed to catch (do not ask how) two strong, young black toms, and had them fixed. Also, Garazni is better, at least his little nose is not bleeding any more that severely (he is the one licking his paw on the lowest photo)...New young female - the one that was pictured on a tree, was also caught and is going to be spayed...This all means that she was spending more money then she had at the moment , but the operations were/ are crucial, and I, somehow, managed to send money two times in this month (with the generous help of some of Danica's donors).



Poppy - the one with the beautiful rimmed eyes, is fine, but seems not to want to leave her cage, as does not Kajac, a male neutered last month. No wonder, knowing what they had been through...Now, there is another kitty who is pregnant, and Danica is working on her . The cat must be operated on before too late. Yellow stripe one, Zlatan, who had a wound on his tigh, now has another one on his chest. Not too bad.



These past two months were very hard : many surgeries, many unexpected wounds...and a lot of food, of course. If anyone can help with a donation, please do so.



Danica is so busy with trying to prevent spring kittens, that she has not time to be tired...She has all the reasons in the world for that, but has not time. Hungry kitty mouths all around her, and constant efforts to keep the population down.

New pictures, but no good news










Unfortunately, I still do not have much good news from the shelter - as you will see from the pictures, Garazni is still sick, although he has been given medicine, and everything else that Danica can possibly provide for him. His little nose is still a wound.



There is a pregnant female that is impossible to catch, and a black male that Danica caught and will neuter. He is the one alone in the photo, his head in the bowl of food.



The other are so-so... Kind of a hard period for the shelter, really. I am sending money tomorrow via Western Union, as always, and in it is a generous donation from a lady called Diane. Also, there is Pauline in Canada who will help with the food supplies , that are, by the way, also scarce these days. Not very nice spring this year.



I have also been busy so much at home with different things (some of them quite unpleasant), that I was not able to call her often. However,at this point I think that she is braver, more courageous, tougher, stronger, better - then anybody I have ever known.

New, mostly sad pictures, have arrived













Danica's computer was fixed, and I got new photos today. Nothing to smile about, though... I was actually shocked to see that the little nose of Garazni looks like an open wound!

The other pictures are of Zlatan's wound on the thigh, and a close up of Plavkan's wound near the tail base, and Okac, whose eye is still bad...Also, there is a picture of two new kitties - actually, there are three of them that recently showed up: two black males, and blackish-brownish female (the one on the tree). Danica says she has been pretty much bullied by the two males, but is very brave, and persistent, and simply tries to survive.

Some of Danica's cats






People,

I just want to let you know that I have not posted new pictures for several days, because, on top of everything, Danica's computer died! Well, today somebody will come to try to fix it, but until the stupid thing is fixed, she can not send new photos.


Here is the status report:

Garazni still very sick; his nose keeps on bleeding, and is very painful, but he started to eat some solids...Danica is still hopeful he will survive. She does not let him go out of the cage, because the other cats are , it seems, over the worst of the virus, so she does not want him to infect any of them again.



There are two wounded cats; Zlatan who has a bad wound on his thigh, and is limping. However, Danica can not catch him. Plavkan (beautiful Russian blue), came yesterday with a deep puncture wound near his tail! Danica says it looks as if from a nail.

Two cats disappeared: Bezimena (for 2 weeks now), and a male called Novotarija. Danica does not believe he will be back, because, he never misses dinner, and he did not show up last night, neither this morning.

Anyway, I am hoping that the computer can be fixed.



I am posting some recent pictures, until new ones come. The top photo is of Plavkan, the one with the nail wound ; the one with yellow Gingerello in the cage, is Bezimena who disappeared two weeks ago; the one under the wagon, is Zlatan, the wounded one that she can not catch to take him to the vet.

More photos of the sick ones...








You will notice that Garazni, who is still the worst (other ones are much better after the therapy), has a bloody little nose. He does not eat, but drinks water, and also some milk and chicken soup that Danica cooks for him. The vet apparently said that she really will give Danica this time some discount!

Several very sick cats






Several kitties have some horrible virus and Danica needs to take three of them EVERY DAY on the bike to the vet for the shots. It is not pneumonia, but not much better either, and it also causes their little noses to bleed...Poppy, the beauty with rimmed eyes is better, but Kajac, newly neutered male, is really sick, and so is another older male, Garazni. Also, an older female cat named Bezimena, long time shelter resident, has disappeared. In spite of all the problems she has with them, she always gets literally sick when a kitty vanishes...



It will be very hard to pay for all the vet bills this month.
