Horrible news

Dear friends and donors,

I want to let you know that little Milance had to be put down this past weekend. In one oh his stumps the bone completely broke the skin , and when they x rayed it, they saw that there is bad infection inside , that actually went through his body. Or something like that, I am not sure yet, because Danica is so upset, and crying so bitterly, that she is really not in a position to talk now.
She just told me that the stump started bleeding, and Milance looked as if in much pain.The vet simply said that putting him down was the most humane, compassionate thing to do.

A very, very sad time for her shelter. As many of you know, Danica has been fighting for him really hard, for more then a year. She found him under a car, tiny, shivering kitten with no back legs. She nurtured him, nursed him with food, medical care, and so much love that it is hard to describe.This one year (or little more), that he had, was warmed by Danica, other kitties that accepted him, and little shelter that does impossible.


Let's remember him cute and funny as he was.

Scan

Hello everyone

here is the scan for the last donation sent to Danica via Western Union.
Some of you guys thought it might not be a bad idea to occasionally post it, so that the donors can see it. Mind you, in most of these, 200 is from me, and the rest is the donations from Danica's donors, sometimes more, sometimes less, but always highly appreciated.

The scan might not be very clear, but forgive me, this is my first to post here, so I will try to get better and try to find someone help me make it clearer.Actually, when you click on it, it can be seen nicely.

They are very cold too...

We, in Arlington, VA, have been totally snowed in, buried, but it is not much better in Novi Sad. Note how the kitties are trying to keep themselves warm (the black one positioning herself on the radiator).

Danica is extremely worried because of the cold, and how much money it is still needed for the new shelter, and how slowly it goes.




Thank you all for your donations and please do not forget Danica and her kitties!

Little Milance's stump got hurt again... Well, it lasted pretty long this time, but Danica says that the muscles are simply to weak on the stumps at this time, that can not protect any longer, so the bone broke the flesh again. Nothing horribly painful, but, problem again, and he is crying, and simply avoiding the walking.



Other little kitties, just trying to survive extraordinary harsh winter. Danica is very sick. Actually, she was in bed, with very high fever , for days and days on, and now she considers it a progress that she can properly get up and feed them.

Many new photos....

Some of them of the sleeping patterns and positions, some of them silly,funny, serious or plain cute...

Danica's kitties, after being lonely, scared, hungry, abandoned, hurt, injured, abused, lost, forgotten... now in Danica's little shelter, warm, cozy, taken best care of, full tummies, happy, loved, loved, loved...






Danica and her friends are fixing a donated cottage to make new, better, warmer, cleaner, and safer shelter for the cats. Please, help Felix shelter, whenever and with whatever you can. Thank you!

Finally...

I was very busy at work, and had to deal with some problems, plus , as some of you know, I have a boy who is almost a teenager, so,whoever has kids, will know what it means to try to put a teenager in order!

Anyway, the news is that the country cottage is really getting beautiful, much work was already done, but there is a lot left to be done. You will see on those latest photos that the enclosure for the kitties is being built, and it looks so great, I would say professional.

But needles to say, it costs Danica money that basically she does not have, so the debts are piling up. She is dealing with it the best way she can, with the generous help from her friends /donors.

By the way, I had a chance to meet one of Danica's donors in person : last weekend I had a lunch with a lady named Candy, who lives in the same area. We enjoyed our time together tremendously, and talked for hours, as if we had known each other for a long, long time. She gave a generous donation for the shelter, so, Danica wants to thank her and her husband once again, from the bottom of her heart.



Beside the new shelter progress pictures, I am posting the photos of some random Danica's kitties, and a photo of a little cart that one of the donors over there, near Danica, made for little Milance. By the way, all of you who have been wondering about Milance, he is OK, cheerful and mischievous as always. The cats these days in general are good, with some usual medical problems (you know that where are 60+ cats, some of them are always sick and need vet's attention)... Or, maybe, it is that Danica is way too concerned with the new shelter...

Also, one of the pictures of the kitties is, I think, older, from couple of months ago, when one of the kitties was at the vet's.

Anyway, thank you all again for every dollar you contribute to this great cause. Let's hope that by the summer the cats will be moved to the new, beautiful and much, much safer place.

Happy New Year!!!

I was away from home for almost 10 days , visiting my husband's ill father. So, unfashionably late, Danica, kitties and myself, wish you Happy New Year, with much health and joy in the future.

I am posting couple of pictures of the new shelter being fixed, and it shows good progress, but costs a lot! Danica is worried because of it, but she will persevere, with highly appreciated help of all of her friends and donors.






Tigi is completely recovered from his bad adventure, and he rarely leaves his comfy cage (smart kitty).

Also, there is a link for a video of two unknown cats following Danica. In case you wonder, she carries her little camera with her, because she was visiting vet and she always record what happens there with her kitties. Now, these two unknown cats simply kept on following her and asking for help. And she took them both. I think cats (animals in general), feel and know Danica's heart.
