Donations Needed For Dusty's People's Foster Kitty....

[QueenScoopalot]

The kitty went to the vets on an emergency call last night, and has been having lots of ups and downs. Leslie has offered to pay the bill but really doesn't have money for a huge bill So I'm posting this in hopes others will be willing to contribute to this abandoned (by the neighbors ) cat "Lucky" to help defray the cost some. Hopefully Laura's son will post the vets office info address etc. And we all need to say prayers that Lucky will pull through whatever bug has hit him so hard. If even a few people contributed something, it would be wonderful. I'm glad Dusty's People have taken this cat & his brother into their house until other arrangements can be made to find them forever homes in a no-kill shelter. Here's the link to the thread Leslie posted last night regarding this....thanks! Jan P.S if contributions are sent, it's a good idea to write that it's for Lucky's care on the check, or a note.

I'm sure Laura would be delighted to get back from work, and find out that Lucky survived, and maybe will get a good home with his littermate!

After reading the thread Leslie said she didn't know the address for the donations to be sent. I have it listed here.

Animal Care
14101 W. Club Deluxe Rd.
Hammand, LA 70403

My and Mina's prayers are with Lucky.

Chong?????

Oh yes we just looked in the phonebook and they have a web site for Animal Care if you are interested the web site is www.animalcarecenter.net It gives all the information being requested.

I crossposted this from the other thread that Leslie started. Dusty's People posted a link to the animal hospital....and I highjacked his post!

"Lucky" (formerly known as "Cheech") is "hanging in there"!

I just got off the phone with Dr. Wheat -
the "owner" of the Clinic in Hammond that is treating him.

Doc Wheat called Hammond and spoke with Lucky's Treating Vet -
Dr. Kate Adams ~~

No "New News" - still awaiting blood test results -
but Doc Adams told Doc Wheat she "thinks" he may pull through all this -
but she's still worried because they have no idea WHAT's wrong
with him - WHY he has the high fever.

SO FAR - he's run up about a $350.00 Bill -
and of course he's NOT "out of the woods" -
nor out of the Hospital - yet.

Donations for Lucky ~~

Here's the Full Name of the Clinic =

Animal Care Center
14101 W Club Deluxe Rd
Hammond, LA 70403

*NOTE* the correction of the spelling of the town = Hammond.

If you *MAIL* a donation check or money order -
please show "Lucky the Cat" on the "memo" line.

If you'd like to use VISA or MasterCard - the Clinic
*WILL* Accept credit cards over the phone ~
Call the Clinic at (985) 542-6300 -
but they CLOSE at 5:30 PM EASTERN Time - so don't call till Wednesday.

THANKS for any and all Donations!!

YEEEOUCH Phred! That bill's not unexpected for emergency critical care, but I sure hope this shameless plea for donations brings out the spirit in all the PTers! Come on Lucky...you HAVE to pull out of this one so Laura can come home to some really good news! Thanks for the uppy-date!

[Dusty's People]

Just wanted to give a Special Heart Filled Thank You to all the PTer's for being so helpful. I know that Dr. Adams is doing her best to care for Lucky. I could see concern in her eyes last night well EARLY this morning when she told us Lucky(aka Cheech) would have to spend the night. It really saddened My wife & me to have to leave him there. My wife held him in her arms for about an hour before we left to bring him to the Vets Office. I would like to take a few mins to Thank Leslie and the rest of the PTer's for making this Possible for Lucky. All you PT'ers are true Angels. The help and the response are overwelming enough to make a person cry . So once again thank all of you...

[Dusty's People]

Mom called and is totally amazed By everything happening with Lucky. She is glad he made it to the Vet........ Said if she were home it would be a lot of running from the Vet to the PC to keep you all posted but Hey Duty Calls. She also asked that I tell you a Greatful Thank You. She was hoping to get a reply on what could be the problem and it turned out She missed something better. When I spoke to her about 6:00pm she said to tell you all Thank you from her and that Lucky and all you PTer's would be in her Prayer's. So now I have updated you from the boat end of all this. Again God Bless You All.

[leslie]

oh dear! I just wish I knew how the poor boy is doing tonight and kicking myself for not telling dr. to call me at work and to call Rhonda and Kev at home with update before she leaves for the night.. Hopefully she will call one of us in the am! I was hoping she would do cbc, wbc etc today...kicking myself for not insisting and just going for her deciding when would be right time- he should have had it today- oh well maybe she feels he's too weak to take blood- i am not the vet, sigh...Thanks all again, thanks thanks thanks!

[catmandu]

I wish,that I could donate,But Princess,and Moose,taht I know,of,need Expensive Dental,done,and Maybe JJJ3! Each treatment,is going,to be at least $500.All we,can do is to send Prayers!

Fear Not ~ Lucky, da Kat, is doin "OK" this morning!!

Temp was down to 99.5
He "ate" his grub last night
He's *pee'd* (no mention of *pooh*)
He's started on a Vitamin Supplement

Blood Test results STILL not back ("maybe today").

Doc Kate Adams is "off" today -
Doc "Laverne" is watching him today - she'll prolly give
him another "check-up" at lunch time today.

As of Noon - Lucky's "bill" was up to $428.79!

I took a few bucks off that with an Over-the-Phone CC payment;
so far none of the mailed donation checks have arrived -
but that's not unusual.

The Clinic is working with us on the bill -
they have agreed to *wait* a few days
to see what comes in from Pet Talkers.

They offered to have Doc Laverne call me with an Uppy-Date when
Doc got done with a patient she was seeing -
I said to wait till Doc gives him his *check-up* - THEN call me.

So we (*I*) might hear something more this afternoon.
I'll *post* when I hear from them.

And Front Desk Danielle confirmed the Word is Out that both Lucky and
Brudder Cheech are "available" to a Loving Home "down South" -
I think they're sorta "working on that".

Hang In There, Lucky!!

Thanks for the uppy-date Phred....Leslie's been wondering. I think she'll pass out at the bill to date. I called the clinic earlier at Leslie's request (she's at work) and they wouldn't give me any info except to say that Lucky is still alive. It would be great if a forever home was found for both Lucky & Louis (as he was dubbed) be it down South, or transported up North. Sure hope some donations get there quickly. I'd be donating if I didn't already have reservations at the poor house.

[Cinder & Smoke]

He's started **PURRRrrrrin**!!

Doc Lavergne just checked in after giving Lucky a PM *check-em-up* ~~

DOIN **PHINE** is a good summary!

She said his blood tests *point* towards it being "Haemobartonella" -
or "Hemobartonellosis" - an infection of the blood.

Read all about it at >>>
VetInfo - Hemobartonellosis

They changed his Antibiotic Meds and he immediately started to
respond to the New Meds!!

Doc said he IS *Purrrrrin* and begining to "walk around" a bit -
EXCELLENT Signs!!

Just got interrupted ...
The Clinic called to ask how to get onto this Pet Talk web site!!
They want to see what all the *Phuss* is about!

HI to the Lucky's White Coats!!
We'll find the other "threads" and link them for you.
Take GOOD Care of "our" Kucky Kat, please!!

Back to Lucky's Tail ~~

He's doing MUCH Better!!
Keep the Purrayers and Good Wishes flowing, please.

Annnnd... a few "Donations" sure wouldn't hurt!

*edit*

I messed up Doc's name (badly) ... (Sorry, Doc!!)
Here she is >>

Dr. Melanie Lavergne ...

That is great news!!! I'm so glad he is responding!

I think once all the other threads are linked in this one someone should cross post in General. I'm sure there are some generous folks over there who would like to help but may not visit the cat side much.

[sirrahbed]

I just called in my VISA donation and spoke with a very nice receptionist, Danielle who told me Lucky was doing "great" She sounded very happy to hear from another PetTalker!! I hope they do peek in - if so..
Please keep taking care of our Lucky boy!!!

Yes, a compilation of all the threads would be a great idea but I do not have time to do it just now - maybe later!! I have Missy here and need to get busy with dinner.

Thanks for the updates, Phred.

[lynnestankard]

GREAT NEWS!!!

Thanks Pred - QSL - Leslie - Dusty's People - AND Doc Lavergne.

I'm going to get on the phone right now.

C'Mon Lucky - you can do this - we're all rooting for you xxxxx
