I hope so, but I think a donation....either one is wonderful of rg girlca! We appreciate everything you all are doing for these babies!

I wish Lizzie, but unfortunate, I live too far and I am at my limit. So the only way that I can help from my end is to send a donation.

Don't say "only", that's a wonderful way to help. I wish I could, but after paying for three of the adoptions and white kittie's vet fee, and with two special cats on the way, I have to hold back.

Lizzie, please do not feel bad. You have went beyond the duty of helping us get those babies. Just take care of your new special babies. By passing the word, you are doing more than enough. Thank you everybody once again.

Tracy, I just sent a donation. I sure wish I had room for another in my gang. I'd love Prince Charming the white one or one of the gray ones, heck I'd love them all!

The black and white boy really catches my attention. From his markings in the picture you posted he looks like a Picasso painting. If you still need names maybe you could call him Picasso.

My goodness! You have just helped me to re-name Thumper (shelter name because they couldn't call him Humper). I started thinking about artist names and, since Thumper does have unusually short legs, I think I will call him Lautrec - it's easier to say than Tolouse. Thank you, I've been trying to think of a good one for months.

Sorry, very sorry, about getting off topic.

Tracy - do you keep any meds at your rescue? Or you don't want to start medication until the sneezing and coughing kittens have seen a vet? Have you been able to isolate those cats? (You may have said and I apologise if I don't remember.) Is the woman who is coming to your rescue interested in general or did she hear about the kittens from Illinois?

Ah, love the name!

I do not have them isolated...not enough space. They are, however, in one cage together with no other cats. I do not have an medication here, I never had a cat that was coughing like this before. It is kind of worring me a bit. I do not have a vaporizor...where would I get one? I am worried that all the kittens are going to be sick, including my other rescues and my own four pet cats. The lady that came by today was just looking in general. She saw my website and wanted two female cats. She took my two one year old gals. They have been together for a while and are familar with each other.

I lost a baby today. One of my five week old rescues passed away. She was fine yesterday, woke up today and she was way past gone. Very sad. It has been a rough day. Thanks for listening to my complaints.

[Catty1]

Ohhh...no, Tracy, I am so sorry about the wee baby!

Although with the Dozen, you saved many more than were supposed to be...this just is plain bad! I am SO sorry...HUGS!

A vaporizer - for humans, you can get at Wal-Mart for cheap. Fill with water, a bit of Vicks or tea tree oil(if your vet says ok), and away you go!

Tea tree oil is supposed to be antiseptic or something....the Vicks, etc, has eucalyptus.

Thank you Jazz! I so appreciate it. Actually the little black and white boy is named Clark...for Clark Kent. Yesterday my buddy was holding him, I threw an empty can of cat food in the garbage and the kitty took a "flying" leap into the garbage can! It was too funny! I said to the kit, "what, do you think you are superman?" My buddy said that Clark fit him very well. I really do like Picasso though. I am going to think about it, Picasso kind of does fit him better. Again, thank you.

Clark Kent, that is very cute and sounds like it fits him well. Please keep it!

I've heard others on here say that taking a kitten with a cold into a bathroom, shutting the door and letting the shower run on hot water to steam the room will help the kitten breathe better. I don't know if that will help your kittens or if it's possible for you but wanted to offer that.

I'm sorry to hear about the kitten that passed.

Lizzie, what do you mean, "You wish you could???" Don't you think that by YOU paying for three of the adoptions and the white kitty's vet fee is just as
good. That WAS your way of donating to this cause. YOU have been an Angel to these ones and a Godsend also.
Like I had mentioned before, YOU, Melissa and Tracy have all done such a fantastic job, each in your own way, by putting your heads together and getting these precious kitties out of that shelter. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go off like this, but I just had to let you know how I felt, as your comment really touched me.
Since being on PT I have never seen such a more dedicated bunch who have gone beyond the call of duty to help these precious animals and I am so happy to be a part of it. I haven't been able to help everyone who needed it, but I am grateful that I have been able to help a few that did.
