Humane Society wants to have Annie PTS!

EXCELLENT news!!! :)

I'm sooo glad she's with you...she's safe and is doing so well. Yay!!!

Those pictures are precious!!! Aww...

OH my heavens!!! She is beyond precious!!! What a little doll baby!
You have done a wonderful job with her! She looks great and her vet check sounds good. Thank goodness! These PT prayers are amazing (plus all the hard work and love you have given her!)

I'm so happy to read this! Keep on poopin Little Orphan Annie!!:D :D :D

Well, she made it through another day. My friend met me in the parking lot (of the medical building where I work) at 4:45 this a.m. and took care of her today. She said Little Orphan Annie didn't eat very well for her, but she DID poop. Her husband was watching her at the time, and he washed Annie's blanket and got everything all cleaned up. They have a 4-year-old daughter who absolutely LOVES Little Orphan Annnie, too, and had a difficult time letting her leave. They took pictures and said they'd give me copies when they get them developed. I'll have to find out if it's OK with them if I post pictures of their little girl with Annie. If so, I will. If not, I won't!

The Dr. I work for (an Ophthalmologist---eye doctor) looked at Little Orphan Annie's eye when we got back into town this evening and my friend brought her back to meet me. He thinks it will be OK, but wasn't 100 % certain. We just need to keep treating it with the ointment twice a day until it seems all better. It is open the most today that it has been since she's been with us.

Annie did vomit some on the way home with me this evening.:( And she's kind of quiet, seeming to want to sleep. She just vomited a few minutes ago, too, but hopefully it's all out of her system and her little tummy will settle down now. Just PLEASE keep the prayers coming!!!!!

One other "miracle" of sorts that I see happening through all of this is that my son Alex, who just turned 16 on Sunday, is seeing what the power of prayer can do. He has been struggling with his faith, but he has been open to our praying about Little Orphan Annie. It seems to me that she is a true gift from God to us, in more ways than one. I had been praying that something would happen to help my son in this area, and I can't think of anything better than this!

My son absolutely LOVES animals, and is very good with them. He got a job at our Veterinary Hospital as a result of my showing the Vet. that picture of Shadow laying on his back, with the caption "The Vet. is going to do WHAT?!?" The Vet. goes to our church, and was there after choir practice one evening when I showed him the picture. When I told him that Alex had been volunteering at the Humane Society, and that's how we came to acquire Shadow, the Vet. asked me if Alex enjoyed that kind of thing, and if Alex would want a job at the Vet. Hospital! So I truely believe that BOTH Shadow and Little Orphan Annie are gifts from God.

And I have been careful in my prayers about Annie, so that my son will hopefully understand that, whatever happens, she is a gift to us from God. I thanked God for sending her to us, and for helping her live as long as she has lived so far. I have asked that she be allowed to live a long, healthy, happy life with us if that is His will, but if it ISN'T His will, that she not be allowed to suffer. My son was open to hearing me say this prayer, whereas he usually shakes his head, holds his hands over his ears, etc. He nodded his head when I told him we need to pray, and pray hard, for her. He also knows about all of the prayers through this thread, and has been asking me to print everything out as it is posted and as we check it.

SO, I would like to ask for MORE prayers from all of you---for my son, and for his faith journey, that he will come to understand and believe that God does exist, and that prayers DO help, etc., etc., etc. If you AREN'T very religious, I hope you're not offended by this. It isn't meant to be offensive to anyone, and I hope everyone who reads this will take it the way it is meant.

Anyway, I've had a LONG day and am going to go to sleep here pretty soon, but will post another update tomorrow afternoon. I have to work again in the morning, but both my husband and Alex will be home to take care of Little Orphan Annie tomorrow.

Thanks again, so much, for all of your prayers, words of encouragement, and support. I really don't think our little baby would have made it this long without all of that from you....

I think maybe the reason Annie was not eating so well was because of the "strange" people she was with today maybe it scared her a little and that is why she didn't eat so good and maybe also why her tummy is upset and she got sicky. Let's hope her little tummy feels better tomorrow. I am very happy to hear that she pooped again and that she eye is clearing up. Ok Annie....This is Mytsi angel talking to you now. You know I am sticking right by your side for every second you need me and you have to promise me you are gonna continue to fight and to get better for your purrants and for all the rest of your family. They all love you very much and want you to get well so they can watch you grow and be happy and healthy. And Shadow T. is getting soooo excited that you are getting better he really wants you to get better so he can have a play buddy. So, lots more prayers coming from my meowmie and from my furrfamily to help get you well. And remember Mytsi angel is gonna be right by your side until you are not 100% but 150%. We all love you that much.

I'm sorry to hear that little Annie's tummy is upset. If your friends four year old was that taken with Annie it might be possible that she was over handled and that upset her tummy. I hope she feels all better now.

Isn't it amazing what one little furry critter can bring into peoples lives? So many people have the attitude of it's "just a cat or just a dog" and that is so untrue. They are God's creatures and just as amazing as humans if not more so. They touch peoples lives in so many ways. Little Annie sounds like a miracle in more ways than one. That is so wonderful!

Now she's got a little bit of diarrhea, but that's to be expected after the enema she got yesterday, isn't it? It isn't much. I'm going to try giving her some water in a bottle. The Vet. said to do that every once in awhile, and I'm kind of afraid to try any more formula right now, this soon after she vomited. I'm hoping she'll get rested up and start crying to be fed again within the next few hours. I'm sleeping in the recliner in the living room, where her carrier is, so I can hear her when she cries, so I can get up and take care of her as needed. I really AM going to get off the computer now. I've been up since 3:00 a.m. and it's now almost 10:30 p.m.:rolleyes:

OK, so I just got her to eat a little more formula with the Science Diet canned food mixed in. When I massaged her she pottied, and pooped---the poop was kind of like mustard squirting out of a mustard bottle, including the sound it made!:D Sorry, I just couln't resist posting that description!:D I'm so tired I'm becoming "silly"!

But I just realized that when I said she had "diarrhea" tonight, it was when I had been massaging her to go. Since she hadn't pooped at all when I'd done that before, I wasn't really expecting it. But isn't that what she's SUPPOSED to do? Isn't that what I've been worried about all week, because it WASN'T happening? The Vet. said it would probably be looser in consistency after the enema. So maybe it really isn't anything bad, like diarrhea, and maybe her system is finally working like it's supposed to be working!?!

I'm going to try to go back to sleep, if that little fart Shadow will leave me alone and LET me sleep! He seems to think that Friday nights are NOT nights to go to bed early.........

Little Orphan Annie, you have a lot of people who have fallen in love with you and are pulling for you to get well. So keep on fighting sweetie.

Those pictures, especially the last one, were just too darn cute.:)

She's eating better again for us today. I had been using the Hartz formula, which was what the Humane Society had given me for Shadow. Yesterday I took a new container of the KMR formula to my friend's house for her to use while she took care of Annie.

I wonder if THAT'S what caused the upset tummy, and vomiting. I'm going back to the Hartz formula today, even though I think I've read on some other threads that it's not the best one. But I'm mixing the Science Diet canned kitten food in with it, so it's probably OK. At least she isn't showing any sighs of an upset stomach with this, and she's eating better.

She's a little more active again today, too, wanting to get out and explore some. And her left eye is looking some better today. I had my husband take another roll of film in to Sam's Club for developing today, so I should have these back by Monday, or Tuesday at the very latest.

Again, please keep those prayers coming. We really appreciate and FEEL them. THANK YOU!

It might have been the CHANGE of formula....(not the fact that Hartz is better than KMR). Any change in food can cause upset to a sensitive stomach.

Yes, the CHANGE in the formula was what I was thinking. If I had started out with KMR, it probably would have been better for her. But I think the Science Diet canned food mixed in with the Hartz formula is very nutricious for her, so I think I'll stick with that and donate the KMR formula mix to another kitten who needs it......

I'm so happy to hear that she is doing better.

But prayers still on the way for this precious little girl.

Annie is eating like a little PIGGY today :D and boy does she have a voice on her when she wakes up and she's hungry and she wants her bottle RIGHT NOW!:D

She hasn't had any diarrhea or vomiting today. She got some new toys today; and a scratch pad to share with Angel and Shadow; and a "Cat Hair Magnet" brush thingy from WalMart, to share with Angel and Shadow; and a "Purr Pad" to lay on to help keep her warm. Shadow got one of those, too, and Angel already has one that she got a long time ago.

Oh, and while my son and I were at WalMart, we were in a tornado warning and everyone had to go to the LayAway Dept. until the "all-clear" signal was given. We could hear the hail on the roof for awhile!:eek: It was the first time that's ever happened while we were at a WalMart store. We get tornado warnings quite a bit where we live, but usually we are at home hiding out in the basement when it happens. We were at a WalMart in Kearney, though, which is NOT where we live. We had gone to the Kearney area because there are some places around there where my son likes to go fishing. We saw the storm clouds building up, and decided to head to WalMart. Of course I had to go to the pet department and check things out!

That's about all for now. We're letting Annie get out and move around a little more today, too. She was climbing up the wires on the door to her carrier, crying, because she wanted to get out and explore so badly!:) She also met Sandi and Oreo close up for the first time, and they all three did just fine. :) Angel hissed at her but at least isn't hiding like she did when Shadow first came home. And Shadow has been trying to get at her all day, to play, but we haven't let him get as close to her as he would like at this point. The Vet. didn't think Shadow would catch anything too serious at this point from Annie, but we still don't want to take any chances.

I took pictures of Annie with Sandi and Oreo. I'll be sure to take pictures of her with Angel and Shadow, too, once they're allowed to be in closer contact with each other. I really really feel like we are well on our way to a "happily fur-ever after" with our Little Orphan Annie!:) And it wouldn't be that way if it weren't for all of your prayers! THANK YOU again!:)

This sure is wondeful news!!!:D I'm also glad that you just had a tornado warning and not a tornado. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. Annie sure is a little sweetheart.:)

I'm so glad to hear that Annie is doing so well! We'll look forward to the pics.
