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.
