Kim, look at wee Tabitha and the beauty she is now! That is one of PT's amazing stories that grabbed my heart and Tabitha STILL has my heart!! I prayed and prayed for that little tyke even though I had the peaceful feeling that she would survive and be alright.
A very sick Malfi, with a broken leg, four infected paws and an auto-immune disease called Pemphigus Foliacious. He was on 6 pills a day. He lived in a cat sack for 5+ weeks, instead of the giant cone, because at least he could comfortably put his head down and rest.

At Thanksgiving 2004 he had fluid accumulating in his lungs, they tapped his chest, and he got better from that day on.
This is from just after that time, feeling better. Although his leg is still wrapped, he can go use the potty now.

Malfi still needs a lot of care, compared to the regular cat. He gets 3 meals a day en suite. He loves to scratch on the sand textured walls, and loves to get under the covers.
Malfi is our miracle boy, just like sweet Tabitha and Birdie.
We love them all!

I missed this thread! I was just looking up Birdie threads from day one to now, and saw this! He's actually one of quite a few rescued and recovered to health and a happy forever home! For those who don't know Birdie (adopted by Catfamily Carla) here's the link w/ pics of the day he was rescued.

I was doubting he'd even make it through the weekend he was sooooo anemic. Hardly any red blood cells left from blood loss & fleas. :(

His tongue was not functional at all due to a severe bite to his head and throat, so I had to syringe feed him which was very messy as you can see! He was much too weak to bathe properly at first.

Slowly improving!

Fat, healthy and pink Birdie now! Thank you Carla & Mike for adopting this special boy...along with many others that I rescued. :)
