ENDANGERED--incont. cat, NJ

[critters]

Can anybody emergency foster this sweet boy?? I feel like we're trying to move heaven & Earth to save him. http://handicappedpet.net/helppets/v...p?f=16&t=12221

[Catty1]

Awww, man! I HOPE someone fosters him soon! Do what jenluckenbach did - staple tarp sheeting on your floor and up the walls a couple of inches! Easy to clean!

Poor baby!

CC - do you mean he had a gun pellet lodged somewhere (bladder, urethra) and it came out - and now he's just leaking?

PRAYERS for that dear face!

[critters]

He had a pellet in or near his spine, which apparently shifted and is now aggravating the nerve/s to his bladder.

They're keeping him in a tiled bathroom, but "he's damaging the tiles."

[Catty1]

Whoever THEY is, can they not get a cheap tarp to put over the tiles? weigh it down with rocks in the corners if they have to!

[critters]

"They" are the "adopters," and I understand they don't want to mess with poor Sherbet at all. They want him gone ASAP. I'm sure they could get a tarp, but I'm more sure they won't.

[GILL]

Is there a posibility that the pellet can be removed.

Damaging the tiles??

The people are damaging him - someone has to have a heart to take this poor fellow to a home, even if he leaks because of his own problems. He can get aided if someone helps this poor boy.

I hope he's alright and someone will take him to a home soon. So sorry to hear this.

P.S, for 'damaging the tiles' - it doesn't matter what he damages. He is damaged. -_-

[critters]

They certainly DID damage him. GILL brought him most of the way a week ago today, and Monday I took Koi in and got confirmation he had a UTI, crystals, mites, fleas, and his curled up foot was infected. At long last, the UTI is MUCH better, and the last 2 nights he's peed in his adapted litterbox. He runs amok during the day, and even found his way downstairs yesterday!! He'd never done stairs before.

[critters]

Well, the current thought is that he might come here, if we can get him here. SCI boy #3--how about that!!

[Catty1]

How far away are you from him? I wonder if the "owners" or a friend of theirs would meet you part way?

I guess the CA people haven't found anyone?

Are there any PTrs in NJ?

PT Prayers for this little guy!

[critters]

We're in VA. I drive, but I'm not "a driver;" it's been years since I drove more than 10 miles from home! I've heard he's in northern NJ, but I have NO clue how far away he is. A friend from VetPet has offered to start him on his way, by road or air, if he can get to her--75 miles away (must be near Newark--that's the airport she said).

Poor, dear, sweet Buddy, SCI boy #1, couldn't make it long-term, but, luckily, he left plenty of meds and experience in his wake.

[Catty1]

Any word on this poor baby?

[critters]

It's looking like he'll be coming down not this weekend but the next (weekend of the 25th). He's 6 hours away. I'll post when there's a transport schedule set up.

This morning I warned the only vet still with the practice that helped me with Buddy that she should dig up Buddy's records and that Milo/Sherbet may be coming down.

The people have insisted that he HAS to be out by the end of the month.

Thanks for asking!

[critters]

Looks like GILL and Milo may be taking a roadtrip tomorrow! All the details aren't in place even now, 6 PM. Guess I'll do Milo's shopping in the AM; I hesitated, not knowing how it would shake out.

[critters]

Poor GILL has been on the road all day. Traffic was heavy, I hear, but he has passed off Milo/Sherbet (who may get yet another name change) to the next driver.
