Humane Society wants to have Annie PTS!

Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. Come on little Annie you can make it.

Little Annie ~ You are in our thoughts and prayers. Please get better soon. Fight real hard. You will have a wonderful life with your new family. Many prayers are being said for you.

She's hanging in there!:) She's eating formula with Hill's Science Diet canned kitten food mixed in. And she's pottying. She hasn't pooped since Saturday. Her left eye still looks really bad, but at least she's trying to open it a little more today.

Shadow is sitting on my right shoulder as I type this, watching my fingers on the keyboard very diligently. He's probably trying to learn everything he can so he can contine to get on here and write in his diary when I'm not home and/or not looking!:D

Anyway, back to Annie....... She still sounds very congested and is sneezing and snorting quite a bit. I'm worried about her, but I know that whatever happens, we are trying everything we can. She has a lot of will power I think, and she seems to be a fighter. That, along with prayers and angels and the grace of God will hopefully get her through this.

I'll keep updating you on this. I should have more pictures from my 35 mm camera by Thursday. I didn't get them in on time yesterday to get them back by Wednesday. I was too busy trying to get medicine for Annie from the Vet. since the Humane Society wouldn't treat her, etc.

I'm going to try to take a few more Polaroid pictures of her tonight and/or tomorrow, with her little stuffed prayer lamb, and her little CareBear. She is content while she's resting. She's sleeping a lot between feedings.....

I'll keep updating this as things happen......

Thanks so much for the update....Hang in there little one. We are all pulling for you to get well. Lots of kitty prayers still coming Annie's way for as long as she needs them and lots and lots of get well vibes too. I am sending my Mytsi Angel from the RB to keep a watchful eye on Annie. She was a very good mommycat and she will stay right by Annie's side as long as she is needed.

Come on little Annie, you can DO it.

Hey there, little baby Annie! Keep fighting, Sweetie!There are a whole lot of people on your side and more prayers that you'll ever know. You can do this, Annie.....show us what you're made of. Love you.....

Darling Annie, you are getting the best care possible and LOTS of prayer and good wishes. Now, you do your part and keep fighting!!!!! We love you, little one and want you to have a happy, healthy life. Soapets, you are a sweetie for working hard to pull this baby through a rough patch. I'm sending prayers for all of you and Briggs and Lydia are keeping their sweet paws crossed. :)

She looks like such a sweet little kitty. I hope she makes it. Maybe she's got extra angels looking out for her. I can loan her one of mine if she needs them.

She's breathing and eating a little better tonight, and wanting to walk around a little more!:) She has now had four doses of Amoxi, so that might be taking some effect now. Her eye is open a little more, too, although I just put more ointment in it and she's cuddling up on the heating pad on my lap and going to sleep.

I was in a dilema about what to do with her this coming Friday, as I work for a pair of eye doctors and have to travel to another clinic about three hours away. I will leave the house around 4:10 a.m. and won't get home until around 8:00 or 8:30 p.m. My husband is getting into a busy time at his work so isn't sure how many times he can keep leaving work to come home and feed her, and my son is in school all day.

BUT, I remembered a friend of mine who was involved in helping take care of Angel before she came to live with us three and one half years ago. I called her and explained the situation to her, and she is going to "baby-sit" Li'l Orphan Annie for me on Friday!:) I'm sure she'd be willing to do this on other days, too, if I should happen to need her help.

She lives in the town I work in (25 miles from the town I live in) and said she'd be willing to get up at 3:30 in the morning to meet me when I get in to town, and she'll take Annie and take care of her for the day. She also expressed an interest in adopting Annie when I told her she is a little Calico kitten. She said her husband had just been talking the other day about getting a kitten, preferrably Calico, in the near future! She said "You may just have a fight on your hands!" when I told her about Annie.

My son and husband both said they don't want to let my friend adopt her---just babysit her. NONE of us can bring ourselves to give Annie up now. And she's only been with us for 3 1/2 days!:D

I guess I'm just going to have to face the bare facts---I will NOT make a good foster parent. I can't give them back!:D

My husband informed me this morning that he is going to take the afternoon off work on Friday, so he WILL be home and available to take care of Annie that afternoon. But she would be alone and without feeding and massaging for most of the morning. She's eating formula with canned kitten food mixed in, and it seems to hold her over longer.

I told him about my friend's willingness to "baby-sit" on Friday, and he said "Oh. OK". (He was already in bed when I got home from baby-sitting at my church nursery last night, so I hadn't had the opportunity to tell him about this yet.) Now we have to decide whether to leave her home or take her to my friend's house on Friday.:confused: I think she would be OK either way. Which would YOU do?

By the way, she ate well this morning, and pottied again. She still hasn't pooped. I guess I could look on the bright side, and be relieved that she doesn't have diarrhea! She's still congested, but doesn't seem to be nearly as bad as she was on Monday evening.

I still can't believe that she's now two days into her 2nd of nine lives. (Her first "life" was used up on Monday morning, when the HS would have had her PTS if I'd had her with me when I went over there to see if they would give me some medicine for her.) She is very much alive, and has let us hear her VERY LOUD protests when we are wiping her off with a wet kitten wipe after she eats, to get all of the spilled food cleaned off.

She is sleeping peacefully again now, and I have to get ready for work, so I'll update more this evening. THANK YOU for continued prayers, and angels, and support!:)

I would leave her home. Save your 'credits' for favors when it comes to pet sitters for when you really need them.


Do you have access to a nebulizer? That can make a huge difference in 1-3 days for congested cats.


All the best thoughts and prayers for Annie

I am so glad to hear that she has made some improvement. Still praying for her! I think she would probably be better off at home. As long as she is improving a little bit of time by herself shouldn't hurt her. Also, I'd be afraid that once your friend sees her she wouldn't want to give her back. By the way, I don't think I would do very well at fostering either. I wouldn't be able to give any of them up. Keep us posted! I hope that every post shows improvements for the little darling!

I have to agree with furrykidsmother, if you really really really want her, keep her home. However, it sounds like she might be just what your friend was looking for and this would free you up to foster another kitty.

I think it's sweet that your hubby, knowing the situation, offered to take the afternoon off to take care of the little baby. Sounds like he's quite attached already......;)

We are all pulling and praying and senging out get well vibe little one. Continue tio fight and be strong. You are one special little girl.

I came home over my LONG lunch hour (left work at 11:10 a.m., drove 25 miles home, stopping to fill my van up with gas on the way, came in, put Annie's bottle in some hot water to warm it up, took Sandi and Oreo out to do their business, came back in and changed shirt, washed hands, turned on the computer and logged in to the internet, started warming my frozen dinner in the microwave, fed Annie---three syringes full of formula/canned kitten food mixed; massaged Annie to get her to go potty, (successfully:) ), put Annie back in her carrier (LOUD PROTESTS FROM ANNIE:eek: :D ), washed my hands again, stirred my dinner and started the microwave for two more minutes, went back out to get Sandi and Oreo and brought them back in, gave them fresh water in their water pan; washed my hands, put one of Annie's heating pad in the microwave to warm it up again, washed hands, changed back to work shirt, ate dinner, typing on here, going to wash hands again after putting Annie's warmed heating pad back into her carrier, then drive back to work (25 miles again) and arrive just a FEW minutes late, but HAPPY knowing Annie is doing better!:) :D
