Winter Fundraiser, A Good Start, Includes Katie Update
Yesterday, $275 from four people came in and that leaves $3,725 from 96 people to go to reach the overall goal of $4,000 from 100 people somewhere around December 18th. Thanks to all of you for your contributions and support. If you’d like to make a contribution, the PayPal button is on the right or, if you prefer snail mail, send me an email and I’ll send you my mailing address.
And if you want take a look at yesterday’s post where I outline some of what I’ve covered on this site since September 1st. Let’s just say there’s a good amount of news there that the mainstream media either doesn’t know about or won’t touch.
As for my dear 14-year-old cat Katie, she took ill again late last week with an upper respiratory infection, which made it difficult for her to eat, so the problem with her liver re-appeared. I spent much of yesterday at the vet and then feeding her prescription food via syringe. And giving her anti-biotics and closing her in the bathroom with me while I showered so the steam would help clear her nose. I’ve got to get as much food down her as I can and get weight back on her promptly or things won’t work out too well. Getting a can of cat food down a cat by syringe takes multiple feedings and results in multiple scratches. Katie is tolerating the process as best she can, but there’s not a cat alive who enjoys being fed that way. Hopefully, she’ll be back to eating on her own in a few days when her nose clears up. She bounced back well enough after the problems in early October for me to trust that she’s a fighter and that we can make this work.
I sure hope so.
