    Sneakers the miracle cat

    Remember this cat from our shelter? Sneakers

    He had not been doing well. He REFUSED to eat anything so a feeding tube was inserted.

    Well, here is today's great update.....

    Well, looks like it's over...knock on wood! Today was our last hurdle. The feeding tube is out and Dr. Hodges has stopped all meds. Sneaker's blood work is totally normal, except for a tad of anemia (normal for an FIV+ cat) and his weight is just a pound shy of what it was when he arrived at 1by1. By all rights, this cat should be dead. I thought he was a goner more than once!!! If it weren't for Dr. Hodges and the money Joyce was willing to spend on him, he'd be waaay over The Bridge by now.
    Thank you all for praying for him. And...thanks to you all who helped take care of him and visit with him. This was definitely a miracle.

    Joyce is president of 1by1. She OK'd the expendetures for his multiple blood tranfusions and the insertion of the feeding tube (over $3,000). Sneakers does not have a forever home, but he has great foster moms.

    Dr. Hodges is the MOST WONDERFUL vet in the world. He's the one who also did Angel's leg operation. If he wasn't just an emergency referrral vet, I'd drive the hour drive just to have him take care of my pets. He's that wonderful (doesn't hurt that he is handsome with a GREAT personality and bedside manner )

    Yay Sneakers!

    What wonderful news, and such dedication from all!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
