Just read the first post on this precious baby. I am hoping his tongue problem is only temporary.
I wonder how old this little fellow is, Jan? He just looks so pitiful in the pictures. Bless his sweet little heart. I know you will do everything possible, if he is to be saved, I know you are the one to do it, Jan. You do work wonders!
Sending prayers to the sweet little fellow and to you and Leslie.

Oh what a sweet little baby! I feel so bad. But I am glad you are such a caring person to try so hard to help this baby when NOONE else would. He deserves it. Thank you Thank you Thank you for all that you do. And I hope his little mouth gets better soon, as I will be praying for him. Good luck with this kitten and I hope all goes well at the vets. :D
Many prayers are still coming from me for this sweet boy. I really really hope that he can recover from this :(
At least he now knows what love is. The poor little guy has already gone through way too much in his short life.
He is a heartbreaker. Bless his heart! Prayers are flying from here that whatever is wrong with his tongue will be temporary. Thank God he can at least swallow.
If worse comes to worse I'm sure there is someone who would be willing to take him and syringe feed him and bathe him. Hopefully, maybe?
Keep us posted Jan.
Thanks for all the prayers PTrs, and certainly don't stop yet! His tentative name is "Lil' Bit", as he's just a lil' bit of a thing. ;) He ate well again this morning and can't seem to get enough food. Poor baby was trying so hard to lick up spilled baby food off the bathroom floor, but couldn't. So heartbreaking. :( He purrs non-stop now, and is showing a tiny bit of pinkness on his nosepad. I know it's a long road to recover from such severe anemia, and I'm doing everything the vets would probably have me do from this end. I'd love to be able to take him to the $$$ exclusive Feline Hospital where I'm sure his treatment would be examined closely, as opposed to my local overstressed "check and charge" locals.:rolleyes: He really should be combo tested, but I'm not sure the readings would be accurate when he's so anemic. That would be the most logical first step anyway. Placing an FeLV+ kitten wouldn't be easy, but it's not impossible. And then there's the additional problem of that hole in his chin. Though it isn't huge, it may be enough for the vets to say quarantine for six months. I'd have to do so if it got down to that, but I'm hoping and praying it's related to the glob of debris under his tongue. Such a dear little baby too, and he has to endure all this. :(
Praying for your sweet baby.
He sure didn't deserve these troubles.
So happy he's got you to cuddle with. It must be like heaven for him.
Thanks for the work you do.

We are praying,for that poor Little,one,that the help,that you are giving him,will help him,to be a Healthy Cat! Bless You,the Found Cats have another HERO!
I know this sounds a bit "dangerous" but what about trying to massage his tongue a little bit to see if you can help stimualte the nerves in it. I wish you could get off to a vet and see what they say before you get to much more attached to him..
I don't see where having to hand feed a cat or cleaning one would be that much of a problem and I am sure there are more out there that feel that way too....IF he never gets the use of his tongue back, but I would be wanting to see what a vet said about about one with no use of it and the problems related to it...
I just can not believe it survived with all that gook in it's mouth and hole in it's chin. He sure is a little fighter, he fought to stay alive until you came along to help him.. Thank GOD you did!!
More prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. I know he's a fighter so this is a big plus.:)
