Danica is recovering...

And she has gotten a new donation, with which she will pay several vet bills, piled up by now!







You will see on the pictures what I am talking about: the black one, called Repko, had a very deep, puncture wound on his tail, that had to be urgently treated.



Danica thinks it was a dog bite (horror);



then, a young female, that I mentioned earlier, pregnant and with painful mastitis - spayed, and on the antibiotics - she is the one with gorgeous, huge green eyes, rimmed with black. There are three pictures of her: before operation, after the operation, and her beautiful head.


The little one without back legs got so much better, and grew, that he started to play with the other ones as if not handicapped, which gave him a new wound on the one the stumps (the one that did not heal properly in the first place) - so, that had to be taken care of at the vet. (and yes, that is a boy, not a girl as she thought in the beginning)




Finally, the baby with some black and brown spots on the tiny face had some kind of infection, and she is being treated. So, you can imagine - a lot of bills! The today's donation, together with the previous one, is taking care of much of the vet debt. Dear friends and donors - cats and Danica thank you from the bottom of their hearts!

How bad can it get?





Danica has pneumonia. She has been very sick, and there is no one to help with the cats. Fortunately, she has a friend who is a doctor, and is keeping an eye on her. She also gave Danica all medication needed.
Danica still manages to go to the shelter every evening and feed them, and clean as much as she can. Now she is able to do that, but for the first few days was not. Also, some of the cats are still on the therapy...

A donation from a friend came, and she has another one promised.


p.s.
On the pictures are mostly new kittens, and another male who was just neutered.

After a short and promising period - a very hard road ahead, full of kittens











I know it is sad, and almost hard to believe - but all of these are new kittens. There are, though, more then one picture of the same kittens, plus new pictures of the kitty with no back legs, called Milancica. Most of these are healthy, but not all of them, and several are alredy under some kind of vet therapy.

Dear friends, Danica does not know how she will pay vet bills at the end of this month. Even if I manage to send another donation in September, it will be only $200. and that is not enough. So, urgent help would be highly appreciated.



On the photos you see kittens at the vet, being bathed, and Milancica playing - she is getting much better. It was not only her legs that had to be examined, the wounds cleaned - it was also that she had to have a colon operation, but she is really fine.



On top of all this there is a cat that looks very sick ( she looks so miserable that I am not even posting a photo of her), and Danica is trying to help her. She is in a lot of pain because, as Danica says, it looks like she had kittens, but then her breasts inflamed..

Urgent help needed!






Dear friends!

There are several new kittens at Danica's little shelter - actually 8 of them. They are all very small, one is sick and being treated with antibiotics (the yellow stripe one), and among them is the one without back legs, that had a surgery - I talked about that poor girl in my last post.



I just sent donation,but there is only as much as I can send. She urgently needs more money for the vet's bills! Please, whoever can help, do so as soon as you can! The situation is really dire.



All those kittens are small and helpless. I am posting pictures of several of them , including the one without legs, whom Danica brought up into her apartment. She will have to keep her, because of her condition.




Danica says it seems that somebody simply dropped a box of kittens in front of the shelter - cause one morning (about two weeks ago), they were all there, out of nowhere.







Thank you all so much in advance for anything you can help with!

Here are some new photos and new kittens... and no cart for now









Danica managed to send me photos of a new kitten (under the car) whose both back legs are , basically , missing. She does not want even to speculate what might have happened there, but she took her to the vet immediately, and got her some help (although the wounds were far from fresh, and the kitten did not seem to be in pain).


There are also several new healthy kittens (all black for some reason), and Danica is trying her best to keep up. However, the cart for the bike I was going to buy and mail, is out of question now. She badly needs money for the vet bills, and extra food, so I had to send her money today. She will have to take the legless kitten upstairs, at least for now.

Other pictures are old, regular shelter tenants.



Also, as you can see, Okac's eye has taken for the worse. It seems that only little naughty Gingarello is fine (the one sleeping carelessly)






Danica is trying to keep up her spirits, but ...it is not easy.

That darn computer


Danica's computer does not work again - it is on and off all the time, never working long enough to give her time to send me some new photos. Well, the news is that she has had problems with some very mean neighbors regarding the shelter, but I do not have details. Also, several new black kittens - what is new in there? Icuka is sick - but still hanging in there.


In the absence of the new photos from Danica's shelter, I am posting 2 photos of that kitten that my family fed while vacationing. We are taking care of her eyes operation, and she is currently in a shelter, being taken care of. Her name is Pindling (maybe I had already said this earlier)

Computer is working...











So, it means new pictures...Chris, the white angel, is neutered; Milka Penzionerka (which means that she is pretty old, for the word means Pensioner), had her little teeth broken by someone (or whatever happened), and it was such a pain that Danica had to have her sedated and undergo operation. Most of her teeth had to be pulled out. Fortunately, she is very close to Danica, and has been living there all her life, so she knows she should not go anywhere, and will be fed properly.

Also, Zlatan, whose both legs were wounded, had vet treatment, and is now feeling little better.


Frca, one of Danica's favorite cats ever (she does not know why - she just loves her very much), disappeared weeks ago, and Danica was very sad. Needless to say - she felt deep inside Frca is alive, and she found her! Pretty far from the shelter , too. Danica believes that Frca probably tried to shelter herself from one of the bad summer storms recently, got into some basement, and was not able to come out.



Danica heard her crying when she was in a different neighborhood, starting calling her like crazy, and there she was! If she was stuck - how come she got out hearing Danica's voice? And if she was not stuck, why did not she came back home? It is kind of mystery, but Danica is so happy to have her back. Frca is almost emaciated.



At the end I attached a photo of a pet cart I will be getting soon and sending over to Novi Sad. Thanks to Danica's friends and donors, she will get something else then food and medicine!
