Hi everyone.... I have been so busy with all the cats and kittens this summer. We had 38... Simba fell out of a third floor window and broke his leg in two places. We had to have surgery done on his leg with two pins put in and 10 weeks of cage rest. His owner did nothing for a week and he suffered ... Animal control took him from the owner. <br /><br />
Simba was released this week from the bone surgeon. He has been fixed with his shots now and ready for adoption. Yeah!<br /><br />
We have a little one that came in that is 9 weeks old that was hit by a car and has a broken pelvis. She has been a lot of work. Bathing her three to four times a day. She is on Pain meds and antibiotics and cage rest to heal. Her tail died this week and has to be amputated on the 24th. <br /><br />
I am worried about her walking again. One of her back legs is not working yet. <br /><br />
I named her Laila after Laila Ali because this kitten is a fighter... I need some prayers for her to heal and be able to walk again. She is such a sweet baby.<br /><br />
Then I had two kittens with Pneumonia. They required albuterol and breathing treatments twice a day along with antibiotics and in oxygen cage for weeks. They are now recovered and up for adoption.<br /><br />
I had also gotten in three kittens who mama was killed by a car ad I had to bottle feed. They are thriving and finally eating on their own. They are now 6 weeks old. <br /><br />
Yesterday we got in a mama that had her kittens here, She had one in the carrier on the way here. She is so young herself and does not know what to do She is nervous. We are calming her with care talking to her quietly and petting her to calm her. She finally starting nursing the three kittens last night. <br /><br />
Yesterday we got in three more kitten who's mama was also killed by a car and they are scared and hissing. We have to calm them down and work with them too. At least they are eating on their own. They are about 7 weeks old. <br /><br />
IT has been a roller coaster here all summer. I have had little time to do anything but nurse the cats and kittens <br /><br />
So I am asking for Prayers for Laila... She is two weeks into recovery. <br /><br />
Thanks everyone in advance. You are the best! <br /><br />

Laila is so cute with her stubby tail. The stitches are out and the fur is growing back from being shaved. She is a doll... No complaints from her even when she was in so much pain, All in all she is doing well despite being so injured from the car. She was in serious condition for a bit but is thriving now, Thanks for all the prayers for her,
