    Oh, poor little kitten! Bless you and hubby...I hope they are easily caught and the calico girl is healthy soon...hopefully she has a birth defect, I hate to think of the pain of two broken legs!

    HUGS and prayers to you all.

    Lisa, I hope you are mending!

    Isn't it amazing how these kitties KNOW the right house to go to for help when they need it? I have NO doubt that a higher power led that baby to your house and will see to it that you can catch it so you can do what it was led there to have done.

    I will still wish you luck and hope it don't take long.

    I too think it was led here for 2 reasons, first and most important - to help it..and second, to help me try and get back into things.

    Catty1 - I'm going to a pulmonary specialist on the 17th. They will be testing me for valley fever and some other things. This has been a long illness and has left me with little energy and very weak.
    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

    You and hubby are just angels. I hope that you can catch kitties soon. The world needs more people like the two of you. Best of luck, Monica

    I hope you are able to eat...has your doc suggested any iron or vitamins to try and help a bit while you are waiting?

    I hope they nail what it is quickly and get it treated!

    {{{{hugs}}}} and PT Prayers for you

    Just post when you can.

    Valley Fever is nothing to mess with. I know two people I work with at the Univ. of Phoenix who have nearly died from it. I was led to believe it would be the "newer" residents of Phoenix & the Valley who were prone to get this, yet they are both native Phoenicians. I hope they find out what's wrong, and get you going on a course of treatment to fix it!

    Good luck with the little ones you're trying to rescue. You're doing a good thing.

    I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010

    It's very worrying to all of us that you are going to work when you should be trying to get well, and that includes lots of bed-rest. Old-fashioned and boring as it sounds, it's still very necessary. Does your work place not provide good sick leave, is that why you insist on going to work when you shouldn't? I wouldn't be so impertinent but your health issues concern me.

    On to the cats. I'm so glad they found you, and that you are working on getting them scooped up and to the vet. If the one with front leg problems has something like radial hypoplasia, like my Surya, I'm sure Jan will be able to put you in touch with people who make a speciality of adopting these very special needs cats. Surya sits up on his hind quarters like a rabbit also, that's why I'm wondering if that's what it is. Either way, injury or birth defect, it's awful to think of her surviving on her own.

    Lisa, I'm sorry to hear that you're still not feeling well. I hope that the pulmonary doctor will be able to help you and diagnose what's wrong with you. I've never heard of Valley Fever.

    Good luck with trapping both cats. If any one can trap them it's you and Kevin. I hope that whatever is wrong with them isn't anything life threatening. Please continue to keep us updated about them and about your own health. Take care.(((HUGS)))
