Whats New In Our World...

It's been awhile since we last gave an update on Sissy. We are very lucky and thankful to have her still here with us. She is doing much better at the moment. She will eat a tablespoon of Fancy Feast (ya we know, not the greatest stuff to feed her, but the only thing she will eat and likes, and with the tumor growing, we figure Sissy might as well spend her remaining days enjoying the things she likes...,) a couple of times throughout the day. Her energy level varies from day to day. One day she is very active and the next, very slow to move around. We have found that keeping Sissy around the other cats seems to perk up her spirits. We still dont know how much time we will have with Sissy, it could be days, weeks, months, maybe even a year...so we just cherish each day, and hope its not our last.

In other news, Deb and ML are holding an auction to benefit both Moki and Panther. The funds from the auction will be used to help cover Panther's medical bills and to build a safe enclosure for Panther, in addition to helping cover Moki's physical therapy costs...

With the help of a physical therapist, and possibly some leg braces, we hope, or should I say believe, we can improve Moki's ability to walk. Last time we where at UC Davis, bone and muscular damage was noted as a result of Moki's neurological condition. The orthopedic surgeon who viewed Moki's x-rays in addition to his neurologist, both believe that a physical therapist, can help us correct this condition, or at the very least keep it from getting any worse. It is believed that without physical therapy, Moki will eventually lose his ability to walk altogether, as the muscle and bone damage would naturally progress if left untreated.

It is with this in mind that we ask you, all of you, to please stop by Deb and ML's auction. If you can afford to bid on an item and see an item you like, then please feel free to do so. If you cannot afford to bid on an item at this time, but would still like to show your support, we ask, that you please leave them a nice thank you. Deb and ML have done so much to support so many kitties in the CB that we can't express our thanks enough!!!

On a final note, please join us this Saturday to celebrate the raising of the money to cover the cost of Moki's MRI and CSF Tap. We will be throwing a big bash and hope to see you all there!!!
