Now is a very good time to get back in contact with
the AC. Ceasar needs to talk to you and is not sure you can listen.
A vet who is used to dealing with ferals can handle them re medication. I
have had a couple (one very sick and another because she seriously bite me) have
to stay a couple of weeks at the vets. They don't like it but they can
handle it. Especially if you cover the cage, put feliway all around and
Rescue Remedy in the water and on the cat (as possible). It also helps
"tame them down." Ferals are the most wonderful cats..........continue to
send this little boy all the love in your heart. He loves you in true
feral fashion.
If you have men who will exclude any of God's
creatures
from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their fellow
man.

please
Elizabeth, Chris and Wendy,
Thanks so much for the
encouragement and prayers. I've always felt like the ferals in my care
are just as much a part of my family as the animals in my house. We all
have a connection and they trust me as far as their circumstances will allow
them to. I talked to an AC once and asked her who had left me two little
dead birds as a present in between the feeding dishes. I was upset about
the birds, but I knew it was a gift of gratitude and love. It started a
couple of days after I began feeding canned food along with dry, (one of the
ferals was aging and I was trying to help keep him hydrated). The first
day I saw the little dead bird I grimaced and hoped it wouldn't happen
again. The next day there was a baby mocking bird, one of my favorite
types of birds, and I thanked whichever cat it was and asked that they please
not do it again, I like birds better when they're alive. I never got
another baby bird present. Anyway, when I asked the AC which of the cats
had left me the presents, she told me it was the skinny intact male. My
Ceasar!

Prayers going up for you and Caesar, Nina.
Last year I caught the most pitiful Tom and took him to the vet.
He looked terrible. He had large abscesses on both sides of his face,
terrible sores, his ears were shredded. What fur he did have was
matted beyond belief and he had no fur on his tail. He was quite beat
up and his head and face disfigured from his battles. He was skin
and bones. I didn't think he was going to make it but he
did! His ear will never look quite right but now he has a
beautiful coat and a sweet disposition. I named him Merlin.
A family in the neighborhood adopted him but any time he gets out he
comes to my front porch. I am hoping so much that Caesar will make
it too. Please let us know how it goes tomorrow.

guys all know I caretake a couple of small colonies of ferals. You
may have heard me talk about Caesar, "the one that got away".
He's a
big tabby Tom that I tried to trap for a very long time and
nothing I
came up with worked. He disappeared about a year ago
and I figured he
was either killed or found a new territory.
Well, he showed up a couple
of days ago looking really bad. He's
emaciated, has open sores all over
his body, hair loss from who knows
what, and limping on his right rear
leg. Yesterday he was in an
area that, had I been prepared, I could
have gotten a net over
him. The feral group I belong to convinced me
not to try to net
him, since he's an adult intact Tom, even though he's
sick. I
was very lucky to find someone to borrow a drop trap from and
the good
news is, I got him tonight. The bad news is, he's even sadder
looking up close. He was bleeding from the nose and his drool
contained
blood too. The vet's office where I take ferals to
agreed to see him if
I bring him in first thing tomorrow. I'm
sick with worry over how bad
he looks. I'm afraid she's going to
tell me to pts. Please pray that
whatever is going on with
Ceaser, it's something he can recover from.
Thanks everyone, I know
how much power this group has, and as always, I
appreciate your
support,
Nina
