July 13, 2008
Freeway remains stable, immobilized in a small kennel. She will be visiting a bone specialist at LSU Small Animal Clinic on Monday or Tuesday. Freeway is a very friendly kitten, showing no signs of aggression, never attempting to bite or scratch, even when in horrible pain after her leg was broken. Very creative name suggestions continue to arrive.

Freeway remains stable over the weekend, becoming more friendly, less frightened, and is wanting to play.



Surgery maybe not needed?
July 11, 2008:
As we continue to receive public support and concern for Freeway's well-being, Freeway visited another veterinarian (Dr. Mooney) who X-rayed her, confirming that the bone had not shifted. Again, splinting could not be done due to the area of the break as well as the size of the tiny, nearly 2 lb. kitten. It was decided that a bone specialist at LSU should be consulted for splinting, if surgery was not advised. Freeway is becoming much more trusting and wants out of her crate. She has been moved into an equally small, but open wire kennel so that she can see what's going on around her.

July 9, 2008:
Due to the number of recent animal cruelty cases in the Baton Rouge area, local television stations and The Advocate were interested in covering the story. We are overwhelmed by the generosity and concern by everyone. Pledges for donations for the Freeway's medical expenses began to arrive by phone and email, as well as name suggestions. Continue to send these name suggestions.
