hey friends,
about a week ago I pulled this lil' oogle off the street. She had a severely infected eye, very serious respiratory infection, worms, fleas and other issues. In short, she was dying, and just listlessly wandering around the driveway of a large apartment complex. I named the cat "Sam" (not knowing what was what yet, - plus it just fit) and she turned out to be a girl so it was changed to "Samantha"-- but I still call her Sam❤️. If any of this sounds at all pat-myself-on-the-back, the point here is really to talk about an organization.
@del.gato.rescue came and did the initial medical, assessed the cat, arranged to have that nasty eye removed and generally did the heavy lifting.
@frankcilantro helped EVERY step of the way. It is a learning curve to do a cat rescue and that is all they do.
The good news is she got her surgery and antibiotics and dental and she is doing MUCH better! See last video, that is from today! (featuring my cringey pet voice, sorry 😂😩) unfortunately she has bad kidney problems and she has a long and somewhat costly road ahead in all likelihood. We don't know her long term prognosis but she is only 7 and does NOT have FIV which is great news : )
@del.gato.rescue has told me they are in for the long haul which is so helpful, as I have decided to adopt her ("foster fail"😂)
So I just wanted to share her story. If anybody wants to support, *and I am only suggesting this to people who are not struggling themselves*, the donation link is on the
@del.gato.rescue page bio as they will be handling the medical for the time being (they already paid for the surgery etc). I am donating as much as I can myself and any love is appreciated. I am no dummy and I know that SHE is the one rescuing ME, and so I am very grateful to Jen, Donald,
@sleepysnakehouse ,
