Caroline
4/2018 Caroline came from a horrible hoarding situation.
24 cats were found on a farm starving, eating rocks and
debris to stay alive. The x-rays confirm it. Craziest thing
I have ever seen!
The rescue involved in rescuing the cat put a call out for help.
All of the cats were very sick and testing leukemia positive.
We contacted them and said we would take the 2 sickest.
I had them immediately take them to an emergency vet (it
was over a holiday weekend) to begin treating them and try
to save their lives.
Caroline was very thin (3 1/2 pounds) anemic from fleas, and
had a very bad upper respiratory infection. With all the bad
things that have happened to her and the medicine she is
having to take she is a super friendly little girl and is healing
nicely. She still needs to get spayed and will settle into her
room in another week or 2.
Update: She absolutely hates other cats, is now healthy,
has been spayed and hangs out in the lobby with the staff.
She was so unhappy in a room with the other cats we felt
it was better for both her and the other cats.
At the emergency vet
Doing much better!

This is a hard email to write but not totally unexpected.
Caroline came to us positive for FELV from a horrendous
hoarding situation where she was eating rocks to survive.
So far, she has managed to live a good life with us
despite the that and presence of cancer. Sadly, the leukemia
is now winning the battle and Caroline’s condition has been
deteriorating for the past few weeks. Our philosophy is not
to let a cat suffer. It’s better to go on a good day than a bad one.
It was time to let her go.
We were blessed to be able to give her eight months of a
secure and happy life where she got lots of love. I held her as
she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We will all miss this
beautiful girl who overcame so much and was so talkative
and sweet.
