A Virago and family update

Virago is doing well and getting around (and mauling her sibs) quite well.  Only time she seems to get irritated is when she can't get up on the bed or climb something (She can't get good traction with only one front paw).  Once her sibs are weaned and ready we're going to go with adoptions, Virago will be staying here unless someone special comes in for her.  Kinda possessive of the little stinker aren't we?

Here's a good view of her right leg so you can see where they had to amputate.

 Little Virago in her towel while we waited at the vets for her checkup.  She looks so thoughtful.

Virago is on the left, as you can see she is using her right leg more as a prob when she eats or such.

And I was worried when the kits came in that Mystery wouldn't do well with other cats

Update

I came home from work yesterday morning to find Virago had somehow lost her right paw (We're thinking it was due to tissue death or infection) so I rushed her to the vet one of the local rescues recommended.  Not only were they able to fix her up (Unfortunately she had to have a partial amputation (just below the elbow)) and she's doing well.  Is nursing and sleeping well, mama welcomed her home and started cleaning virago and letting her nurse.).

Best part is one of the Doctor's nurses wants to adopt Virago!  So she has a home waiting for her once she's weaned from Mama.

Update on Virago

She's in less pain and eatting well.  I got some pics of her paw and it feels abit like her other paw, but is looking a bit better to.

Prayers Needed!

MH was taking the trash out this afternoon and heard kittens.  Tracked it down to a mattress someone had thrown out.  He proceeded to get them out of the mattress and discovered one was tangled and had no circulation in her right front leg (Might be broken He's not sure yet since he doesn't want to move her much).  He got the tangle off her leg, so we're waiting to see if the circulation comes back.  Her name is Virago (Named for his/her lungs) and now that she's named she won't go to the bridge (we're hoping that holds true, no one should leave for the bridge before they can even see the world). 

She could use all the purrs and prayers she can get and we'll keep you informed.

Sorry so long between updates

We're back!  MH has been busy lately with his work, the flu and trying to find homes for a few of our outdoor friends.

First!  A update on our christmas surprise.  There were two!  not one kitten.  So here they are!

 This is the little girl (Mama hid her well, it took MH two days to find her.).

 She seems to love sleeping on the body pillow we keep against the wall.

 And this is the little boy (Floofy longhair) cuddled up with Princess.

Tabby is wondering why the kittens keep laying on her!

Everyones healthy and happy.  The little girl has a family wanting to adopt her so once we can get the dates together she'll be going to the teenage daughter.

Everyone else is taking it easy and kicked back. 

Christmas comes early

As of this morning, we have a new member of the household.  MH came home and was on the computer, heard a mewing sound and noticed everyone was watching the bed.  So he moved the bed and found that Bonkers (AKA Bonkers) had given birth to a kitten under the bed.

We were all surprised since according to the vet we use (Used to use that is) she had been fixed back after the Cat Pack was weened.  We since checked and found out that they hadn't fixed her and there was some sort of paper mess up.

Needless to say once this little one is weaned she's going to get a real deal.  But who could resist the cuteness.. of this little one?

The cat that MH has been feeding for awhile had her two kittens yesterday.  He's been putting on facebook and checking local fosters to try and find someone to take them in (Apparently its going to get down in the 40s the next three days).  So far no luck but considering he's already taken our heating pad downstairs to put in their box, I think he's making plans just in case.  Speaking of them..  This is the mama and near her hind leg you can see her two kittens (One is white with grey spots, the other is black and white).

If you know anyone in the DFW area that can foster or take her and her kittens in, can you leave a comment or email us?  Thanks!
