Please add sweet Baby Girl to the CLS if possible she was not
positive but
had 7 good years as a Feral cat next to where I work.
Here is what happened:
Yesterday I noticed the cat at work (a TNR feral) named Baby Girl
was not
feeling good. She has had a URI on and off, but never seemed
affected by
her. This time she was not eating and even allowed me to touch her.
Normally
she would have swatted me. We discussed taking her to the ER but we
did not
have a way to catch her or anything to put her in and it was
closing. Today
before I even got to work Pat, who is really Baby Girls momma with
the help
of another girl caught her. She had not eaten any food left for her
yesterday. So Angel first went to a vet that is one street over from
us.
They could not see her gave names of other vets. I already decided
to call
my vet who is also close. She could not be seen until 3:30 first .
She was
in distress and I had noticed she was cold to the touch although she
was
kept by a heater all day.
I drive her to Junior's vet. Since she is feral I also notified the
guy,
Phil who looks after her colony. She is only one of 3 or 4 cats that
hang
out next to us. He said they would probably test her for FELV in
fact he
wanted her tested. They vet had a hard time getting blood she was so
wek she
did not fight. Her temp was 94. The vet though she would test
positive but
she was negative for FELV and FIV. She had pnuemonia and was now
coughing
blood and she was shutting down. The vet was sure she was dying
and euthanized her. Of course it was a heart stick and I decided I
did not
need to watch. It was over before I even was out of the room. The
test came
back after she was pts. I called Phil to let him know. He will adopt
out any
who are adoptable and has kept many cats himself.
Anyway I will miss Baby Girl. She was just getting freindly after 6
years
and would rub up against all that she used to run away from. The vet
was
so kind she is going to bury her in her yard . She is now an Angel.
