I look at it this way... if they wanted the cat
in the first place, they would have posted her as missing at all the local vet's
offices, so I've done enough already.
I just went to tend to her, and she can't get up.
Her back is very unstable now. She is going to need surgery to stabilize the
fractures (I am sure it is her back now). I'm going to call around tomorrow and
see how much it is going to cost. If there is any way I can get her fixed, I
will do it. I REFUSE to let this happen AGAIN. It's almost as if I have been
given another chance to do the right thing this time. I don't know if you
remember me ever telling you guys about Do-Dah... he broke his back, and at the
time I was told to euthanise him and was not given any other options, and even
if I had had them at the time, I could never have raised the funds to get him
fixed (I was 8 months pregnant at the time and couldn't work). Then there was
KiKi, he was hit by a car and I did not get to him in time, and he died because
I wasn't responsible enough to keep him indoors. And then Moogie, who looked as
sick as this cat did when I first got her, she died, and I've already
gotten Bones past that point with home nursing. This is SO deja-vu, it's
almost pushing me in the direction of believing in a higher power. KiKi was hit
by a car, most likely this cat was too; Do-Dah broke his back, most likely this
cat has too; Moogie was bone thin, dehydrated, and weak, this cat was too. I've
regretted my mistakes the last time for years, and have always wanted to "make
it right", and now, here it is, right in front of me. I am NOT going to let this
cat die from injuries that can be fixed. I don't care if I have to work 60 hour
weeks and beg on the street with a tin cup. I'm going to find out which vet
around here can DO this kind of surgery tomorrow, and I'm going to ask them if I
can arrange to send donations directly to their office. If that's doable, then I
will do a very in depth donations campaign online and see if I can get some
funding that way too. Of course, I plan to spend every dime I have to spare on
her too. Pay rent, buy cat food, buy the minimal amount of human groceries, and
put everything else into Bones. I am NOT going to be forced into the same corner
again, I refuse to take no for an answer this time. I will buy this cat a
wheelchair if she needs one. This is not happening to me again! If this is some
sort of test, I will pass it, If this is some sort of redemption, I will be
redeemed. I am not going to fail, I will not let this cat down! I know I must
sound crazed, but if you had been in my shoes, you would be this way
too.

I collect KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil, a 3 yr old special needs cat who must live on a liquid diet for the rest of his life. Bazil's caretaker collects labels and sends them to KMR, where they add up until she earns a free can of formula! PLEASE save your KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil! If you use KMR, even just one can, please ask me for the mailing address
you can send them to, to help feed Bazil!
