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!!

Wow! FANTASTIC news - and thank you for posting it, because my browser (the latest Firefox) somehow stumbles over the URL and wouldn't let me see this!

Thank you Candace, and everyone who helped get the word out! Huzzah for little Dorie, and for Cecilia for all her hard work, and everyone who prayed, sent good thoughts and energy, and loved this little cat back to life!

Love, Columbine

AWww, this is wonderful! She is such a beautiful kitty. I'm so glad she'll get the surgery she needs PLUS a new home.

Dorie's operation was a great success.

The stone was smooth, so it came out easily and there was no permanent damage to the interior of her bladder. She woke up very shortly after and was alert and aware when the doctor called.

The letters continue to come in. Everyone is glad that she is going to be okay, even though some were upset with me for not trying harder to keep her. (...and others thought I kept her too long and should have given her up the first night!)

Thanks to Peggy for her tireless research and neverending list of suggestions.

Thanks to Harmon for pushing my Good Samaritan Funding request and trying to get Dorie into the UW vet program. And thanks to everyone who called their family vet and got discount pricing for Dorie, especially Barb, who not only worked out a payment plan before ever meeting me or Dorie, but offered to pay half the bill.

I don't know if Dorie will have continued heath issues, and I don't know if she's found a permanent home, but I have faith that whatever her path, she will have plenty of help. Erin has offered to open up her home to Dorie if she doesn't fit in well at the doctor's house.

A huge thanks to Neva for adding a whopping $50 to the Save Dorie Fund in loving memory of Madeline, her faithful companion of 20 years; and to Shelly for adding $1 when everyone else thought they couldn't afford to give. Every dollar counts. Thank you for not discounting your ability to make a difference.

Total for Day #3: $51
Total Raised in the Save Dorie campaign: $111
Total Vet Bills: $445
