kitty is injured

[carole]

Thank you both so much for your kind words and prayers, Romeo sure needs them, mary we have been assured he is not in pain, as he is drugged heavily, so we just have to put our faith in the vets and hope they know what they are talking about.
Sorry i tried to get pics today, but we did not have them on floppy disc so could not, but he is very cute, a tabby, he is quite spotted, i sure hope he makes it too. How the poor wee thing dragged himself into the garage with a broken leg and his injuries i will never know but he did, hes a fighter, so we just have to hope and pray.

Dear little Romeo, please keep on fighting. You have a lot of folks out here who are pulling and praying for you.

Thank you all i am so touched by everyones kind words and wishes for the lil guy.
I hate to tell you this but its not good news, today Romeos owner is faced with the hardest decision, she has to decide whether to keep the lil guy alive or not.
He requires further surgery, and he may not survive the operation, or worse when they get in there they may not beable to do anything at all, if he makes it there are no guarantees he will be ok.
She wants to try for the operation and hope he makes it, her husband thinks its unfair to put him through any more and they should let him go.
I dont know what i would do in their situation, she is just so upset, she has been crying all night, i think she will go ahead though, as i write this the decision may have been made, its like 9.45 am here in nz, and they were going to operate at 10.am, the vet is going to pay for half of the new operation, as it now is near the one thousand dollar mark. so thats something.
This is so heart wrenching, i feel so sad today, hes just a baby,its not fair, please please keep those prayers coming, Romeo needs you all so desperately right now.

all kitty cats here are hoping for the best.

Well folks he is in surgery right now, his owners decided to try and give him the chance to pull through, and he may well do, its in the hands of god i suppose, so everyone keep praying with all your heart the lil guy makes it.
I will be ringing tonite to find out how he did.
Also the lady who hit him, has sent over a gift pack and prayer for Romeo, so is seems she really is very upset, maybe she did not hear him with her vehicle running, she may have had a radio on, we shall have to give her the benefit of the doubt, at least she does have a conscience and feels so bad about it,so thats something.
And the sweetest thing, catmandu, has sent a special toy all the way over to nz for Romeo to aid his recovery, so the lil guy just has to make it, so we can c him play with it, ash and lexie are also being spoilt with one as well, CATMANDU is such a caring person and i thank him so much.

Well folks Romeo has come throught the surgery, he had a rip in his bladder, which has been repaired, they had to drain the pee from his tummy, he also had bad injury to tummy, so now its a wait and c game, have to wait a couple of days to c if he can pee or not, at least he made through, poor wee chap, he must feel like crap, so next few days are crucial, lets hope and pray he is going to be ok this time.

[marysmerrycats]

thats it Romeo, keep fighting this!
I'm so glad you are so far doing ok, and I pray that you will keep getting better and stronger!
the lady that hit Romeo, she must feel awful, she didn't see him... I would feel SO bad if I had hit a cat! I can understand how cats can dart in front of cars, and not be seen, what a tragic thing to happen.

get well Romeo!

[Steffi N]

I am so glad to hear that Romeo made it through his surgery. This little fellow really wants to live. He deserves every chance.
I sympathize with the woman who hit him, she seems to be very sorry for what happened. Their vet deserves all our gratitude for helping cover Romeo's surgery. Please let the next news about Romeo be good.

[carole]

Thanks steffi n, i really hope i can post something positive soon, fingers crossed, yes it appears the lady is very sorry, and that all helps doesnt it, yes i think its great the vet is helping out, its a lot of money for a young newly married couple to fork out, but they love Romeo so much, it does not matter.

Carole,
I do appreciate the update, and I know we are praying really hard for Romeo....

Is it possible for us to send contributions, no matter how slight, to the vet clinic where Romeo is undergoing his Sir Jury? In a case like this, every little bit helps.....so, could you see to it that our contributions could be accepted??? Thanking you in advance,
Cataholic.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Thanks for the updates Carole. I'm so glad that little Romeo made it through his surgery. Prayers are on the way for a speedy and full recovery.

[marysmerrycats]
