News from the shelter...and a big Thank you to Mr. Paul Neve!






I am posting many new pictures with some news. First,one of the newly spayed females (with beautifully brimmed eyes), has a post surgery infection and must take antibiotics; the other one, the gray one, is fine. Also, Okac is under antibiotics, so that his poor eye calms down a little bit before new operation; also, Zule, the older yellow cat, must have his teeth cleaned, and probably several of them pulled. He has been in some pain. Then,one stripe tom recently caught has been fixed, and a new one, black and white, ready to be fixed this week.

Very important: all the shelter tenants that were due for rabies vaccine - were vaccinated!

Danica has gotten a lot of food from Viktor,from Hungary, but fortunately she has had a donation coming, and with my regular monthly money, she will be able to cover big part of it. She is expecting a couple of new donations, so the rest will be covered as well! The thing is that Viktor would wait, but vet does not like to wait...



There is one more pregnant female that Danica has not managed to catch yet, which is a big problem, because, if that cat gives birth to kittens....Danica is even scared to think. The shelter is full (actually overcrowded), and there are cats in Danica's apartment. She can not afford new kittens.






Last, but not the least: I would like to publicly thank CatsthatlooklikeHitler.com and Mr. Paul Neve, because without his generous help, his goodness,his unselfishness, without his willingness to not only link this blog to his fabulous web site but to mention it by name, and encourage people to visit this blog - Danica would not have friends and donors she has today. Thank you Mr. Neve, and forgive Danica that among all the kitties that she has been taking care of - there not a single Kitler yet. But, she is not losing hope.As soon as one appears with the little mustache, she will let you know.









So the pictures show from top down:
newly fixed tom called Kajac
another new tom to be fixed this week
the gentle beauty whose wound from spaying does not heal that well
good Okac who is waiting for yet another eye surgery
bunch of blue booklets for every and each cat proving they had fresh rabies vaccination
... and the rest is food, and some regular , old tenants in boxes...

Few new pictures









I am posting several new pictures, among them of the kitties near Marponi's grave, by the Christmas trees, and also of the two female that were spayed. The rest as usual: just good, old shelter tenants...


There is one more pregnant female that Danica can not catch, no matter what, and a tom that she managed to catch, so he is next to be fixed...Spring is coming, and with it numerous kittens, so Danica has to do whatever she can to prevent it.

Two new kitties already spayed




I am posting pictures of two new young females that Danica managed to get fixed - they are currently in the shelter recovering well. The rest of the pictures are mostly regular shelter tenants - new photos though, and also one brand new kitty face that showed up - it is the one outside, eating with the black one. I do not understand how Danica keep track of them!

The white beauty is Ciarra - Bella; the story goes like this: few years ago Danica found her half dead , with a nail in part of her head. She urgently took her to the vet, where she was taken care of, and fortunately, her brain was not injured. Danica took care of her for months and months, days and nights, and eventually found a wonderful home for her! She visited her very recently and took some pictures.



By the way - Danica spent $ 220. on two operations, and food that Viktor brought from Hungary. Fortunately, she is expecting a donation.

Two more kitties to be spayed




I am just adding pictures of the two new cats to be spayed - there are three altogether, and the picture of the third one is bellow, in the previous post. The gray cat.

Luckily, it seems like Danica will have money for this!

Picture of Marponi's little resting place



Several cats were present when Danica was burying Marponi. It is under this little Christmas tree. It seemed the cats knew.

In the meantime, there were 5 new young females some of which seem to be pregnant. Danica was horrified (there is no way she can afford new kitties), but fortunately a nice lady is sending a donation, so Danica will take them (at least three of them right now), to be spayed. Those are, it seems, early pregnancies, so that should not be problem. Anyway, it has to be done.



It is different when new kitten simply shows up - she takes him or her in, and nurtures him, and eventually fixes him. But, if the pregnancies can be stopped, it has to be done.

Sad news on Marponi


Good, old Marponi was put to sleep this morning at the vet's office. Eventually, Danica was forced to do it, because he was starting to be in pain, and simply just disappearing every moment, in front of her eyes...

She was very, very sad, crying on her bike, driving back from the clinic. She buried him under a small Christmas tree. She gave Marponi a nice, warm, safe, cozy year in which he felt loved and cared for, yet she is so sad.

The pictures are just couple of days before he died.

Good, old Marponi, he was such a fighter. May he rest in peace, somewhere, in the kitty Heaven.

News from the shelter








Just few pieces of news: Okac has been under new treatment for his eye, Marponi still alive but barely, and several cats having skin conditions. Danica has been bathing them en mase, which you can just imagine! Is there anything as complicated as giving cat a bath?! Well, she does it, on the regular basis.

She herself has been recovering very slowly from a very, very bad flu. I also was late this month with my regular donation, so she had to borrow money to buy food (picture attached). I finally managed to send money, so hopefully part of it can go for vet's bills.

Oh, yes; another miserable, abandoned puppy she had picked up. She is, though, pretty sure she can find him a home.


Never ending story.
