New foster I might not be able to help. OMG READ POST 8!!

Oh. My. Goodness. I think I'm going to cry.

The good Dr. heard my story and offered to perform the surgery free of charge. For now I'm treating the eye infection, and when I get back from my family reunion in a couple of weeks, we'll re-check the eye and talk about scheduling surgery.

Also, he's FeLV/FIV negative (will re-test in a few weeks) and crusted with fleas, so he had a bath today. After the blood draw for the FeLV/FIV test he decided that maybe I wasn't teh scariest thing in the world and actually started cuddling up to my hands and purring.

Also, I have the green light to get some pictures. Jack is VERY upset after the vet visit, blood draw, and bath so i'm going to give him some time to regain his composure and eat. Pictures coming tonight!

How nice of him! We'll be patient about the pictures, I promise!

I read this on Facebook but wanted to comment here. This brought tears to my eyes. Such good news!!!
How difficult do you think it will be to get him adopted? I might regret this later, but I might even consider taking him IF a home can't be found. I almost took another kitty with eye issues from ARF, but he was adopted before my deadline I gave myself. Please don't hold me to this though. It will need to be discussed in length with the BF.

I have one customer who might be interested, she needs to chat with her husband. I'll keep you posted, but I don't anticipate any trouble placing him. He's a GORGEOUS kitty.

There are fantastic people out there! What a great guy!

I hope wee Jack feels better soon and can pose for some pictures! I look forward to seeing them.

I heard him crying and went in to peek and snapped this picture:



Turns out he had finished his food and was demanding more. I'm glad his appetite wasn't affected by his bad day!

That's WONDERFUL news!!!! See? There ARE vets out there who actually care more about the animals than the money.

Great job, Snakemama!!!! Pictures please!!

Donna, the doctor said he sometimes barters with his clients...he recently had the hospial repainted by an unemployed painter whose puppy had taken a tumble off the couch and broken both of his front legs. The man reapinted the hospital beautifully, and the puppy got treated. I don't have any cool skills like that to offer, but I did tell him that if anyone on his staff wants a free corn snake to call me!
