Coconut
7/2018 Coconut is a leukemia positive kitten. Coconut was found as a little fellow after he climbed into a families truck. He apparently had climbed into the motor. When they arrived home they hear him crying. After taking the dashboard apart they found him covered in dirt but surprisingly unharmed. They said you could not have told he was a white kitten. They were going to keep him, he is a super sweet friendly fellow. BUT when they took him to the vet he test positive for leukemia. The vet told them to bring him back in a month and test again. That test was also positive. The contacted us asking if we could give him a home because they had other cats and he is positive etc. We tested him again with both the eliza (positive) and the IFA test (also positive) He is a fun playful fellow. We hope he has good years ahead. Sponsored by Henry - Thank you! Sponsored by Ashleigh - Thank you! Sponsored by Wayne in honor of Carolyn’s birthday!! Happy Birthday Carolyn!

2/13/2020 RIP Coconut RIP Coconut - Little Coconut is a leukemia positive cat who came to us in July of 2018 as a young kitten who had been found inside a truck dashboard. They had to dismantle it to get it out and were surprised when they washed him to find that he was actually white. 2 weeks ago he started losing weight (the cats are weighed weekly, we can quickly spot when there is a problem, and most problems start with weight loss) Off to the vet he went. The following week he had an ultrasound that showed we were dealing with kidney cancer. We knew that our time was going to become very short with him. We brought him home to love on him for the time we had left. Tuesday he returned to the vet running a high fever and weight loss continuing even though he was still eating. We hospitalized him to see if we could get his fever under control and get in front of what was going on with him. We needed to see if this was connected to the kidney cancer. Blood work 24 hours apart showed how bad he had developed non-regenerative anemia. His bone marrow was not working now. I knew today I was doing to have to maybe make a hard decision, so with a lot of soul searching and many discussions with the vets, the decision was made to let him go. He went quietly in my arms. Coconut was a fun fellow fellow who loved to play, run his wheel, chase the laser. Now he joins the others from his room over the bridge. Rest in peace little guy, we sure will miss you!
