HAPPY ENDING #13 * Seattle cat needs donations for kidney stone surgery

[Catty1]

OOPS - wrong Washington!

My bad....

Hi guys,

I finally signed on and read my PM's. Sorry Candace, I live in DC and not the state ...

[Catty1]

Yep, I know, Emily....I'm from Canada eh? And Washington STATE is pretty close by. In my rush to help Dorie, I just thought WASHINGTON!

oops!

Anyway, Cecilia was contacting them right away. Dorie fits all the criteria for help from their fund, from what I know - so am keeping fingers crossed.

Don't worry, I am also from Canada (the last place I lived was actually Calgary). So when I go back and I am introduced to new people and they find out I am from Washington. Their first thought is usually the state. I think it is a "West thing " rather than an "Canadian thing". Because I have the same experience on the West Coast of the US.

Here's a pic. Cecilia doesn't have a regular carrier...but there is a neat bag she uses that Dorie seems just fine with.

What a pretty girl!

From the blog: "UPDATE: Phinney Ridge Animal Hospital will charge only $750 but they recommend a budget of $1000 for "elverything"."

I sent her more contact info on the Vet School at Washington U...I hope they let her know soon. Dorie is scheduled for surgery Wednesday or Thursday.

There are ways to help without donating money. Please click on the link for more info.

Right now all I can offer if my prays but if in December they still need some and I have some money then I'll be glad to help out.

Dorie finds a savior... and maybe a home. Thanks (and totals) for Day #3
Monday, Oct 6, 2008


An anonymous surgical vet has come to Dorie's rescue. DORIE WILL BE GETTING THE LIFE-SAVING SURGERY SHE NEEDS TODAY! I dropped her off before work this morning, and will be getting a call later to see how she's doing.

In addition, this kind doctor has offered to give Dorie a home.

She's going home with the doctor tonight to see how well she can adapt. (If she isn't happy - the doctor promised to call me first. I'd rather have her back than put her in the system!)

I know some of you will be sad to hear that I had to give up Dorie, but I think she'll be happier. She's too young and hyper for my tiny studio apartment, and she's used to having other cat friends. I just can't bear to put her back outside, but she's cooped up and bored here. This is best for her.

Thank you readers for all your kind letters. Your words of encouragement and advice really helped me. Thanks to those who gave what they could. It will all go toward paying the vet bills.

...and a belated thank you to Tom my apartment manager for looking the other way and not charging the $800 pet deposit I should have paid before bringing a cat into the building.

And the biggest thank you of all to The Doctor Who Saved Dorie!!

Aw, she looks like my Yodie Yodie, sweet thing. I'm so glad that things have worked out.
