Recovering...

Here are some pictures of Juca Stuca back home, recovering after a major surgery.She is doing pretty good - under the circumstances.

Danica put all the white little sheets in her box, so that she can easily see if there is bleeding.



You can also see little Milance being silly, as always, and then sleeping in somebody's else box. Extra cute!



And other tenants, among which, as you can see, somebody is always in love with somebody's ears, and cleaning them...

Surgery

Just the update : Juca Stuca was operated on - the vet is hopeful that it was successful, but it will take some time before we know. Danica says that it was a major surgery - they found a tumor, and took it out, and her lymph nodes. The recovery will be hard and long.

p.s. On the photos are two of the kitties - not Juca Stuca, of course. I just thought the photos are cute.

Juca Stuca has a major surgery tomorrow

Beautiful, grey female - one of the gentlest, most sweet-natured cats Danica has ever had, has surgery tomorrow. Her tits must be removed, as well as lymph knots ( that is how I understood this), and the vet thinks she has cancer, but is not sure before the biopsy is done.

This will cost a lot of money, but the vet said to Danica that her future looks pretty bright after that.

Juca Stuca was attacked by dogs few days ago, and managed to escape, and Danica noticed something wrong with her breasts then, when she was cleaning her and tending to her wounds. Danica says that it was blessing in disguise that she was bitten, for otherwise her breast problem would not be revealed.

The rest - just some fresh photos of the shelter tenants...

Some news

Danica has been cut off from the rest of the world since her computer has not been working for days.

I am posting some nice & funny pictures that she managed to send me almost 10 days ago, last time the machine worked.



Updates:

Milance , without back legs, has really recovered very well after his little stumps operation and is very playful . You will see him on the pictures being really silly.

The little white one with some spots (relatively recent kitten), is sick. Danica is trying, but the vet is not very optimistic. Upper respiratory infection, and she is very small, so...

Gingarello, the cute little yellow kitten - is not a kitten any longer. You will see him in the kitty chair, being fat, and eating Ajvar (!?) Ajvar is south east Europe spicy peppers & eggplant spread.

People, if anyone can give a donation - will be more then appreciated.


p.s.Believe it or not - but the last two are two different cats (Repic-Lepic and Novotarija). They are probably from the same litter.

Milance is recovering very slowly

The little one called Milance who had to be operated on again - they had to cut the stump of his leg, so he can not lean against it, is having really hard time getting better. Reminder: one of his stumps was inflamed all the time, and got infected, because there was no muscle .



He cries a lot...At the vet two days ago, when Danica took him for the stitches getting out, he bit Danica really hard, while she was holding him, because of the pain. I asked Danica why did not they gave him some kind of sedation, but she said that it is not good for him to be sedated that often. So, she would rather be bitten.






The incredibly good news (if it materializes), is that he might be adopted in Germany (through a Belgrade connection). It is a long shot - but she will see.



The rest of the pictures are other regular kitties, and, as you can see, a crate full of kittens who are sick (some kind of respiratory infection).



The cost of vet bills has been putting our cat stroller purchase off. However, she will need it very soon - before the winter .

Little Milance had surgery

Baby Milance without back legs had to be operated on , because one of the stumps repeatedly got hurt from his relying on it. The surgery was pretty hard (and expensive!). He is very weak, and as you can see on one of the pictures, keeps his back little stumps up in the air. Danica is very worried, because, now it will take him a long time to try to find balance again and (somehow) walk.

Apparently, a lady from Belgrade is trying to find him a permanent, secure and good home, no less then in France!

Poor little Milance.



Chris (the completely white one), has his eye hurt (in a fight with other kitties). He is extremely scared, almost terrified of everything, and his fights are defensive - aggressive. And one cat has a kidney infection. I know, I do not have anything really new to report.

Some new photos

I do not have much news, except that Danica has been , I hope, fully recovered from the pneumonia, and that some of the kitties are on the antibiotic therapy - some of them always are! Milance - the little one without back legs, is fine, and very, very playful - it is easy to recognize him on the pictures because he is stretched all the way, he is resting!




Anyway, just new photos, and waiting for my loan to be disbursed, so that I can send a more substantital donation this month.
