Fergie
8/18 Fergie is a leukemia positive kitty who was found as a
stray. When she test positive the vet suggested the finder
euthanize her. Lucky for her, she is a very friendly little
girl so the finder did not want to kill her. She reached out to
us for help. She had other cats and the vet had
her convinced she could not be with her other cats.
Fergie is very friendly towards humans. So far she is not fond
of other cats. Her first medical appointment showed that she
is very anemic. We are trying to get her in better shape so we
may get her spayed. We hope she will become nicer to the other
kitties once she is fixed.
Update, All fixed now and into her room. She is still not
thrilled with the other cats but doing better.

This is a very sad letter to be writing today.
3 months ago when Fergie arrived we knew very quickly
that she was not going to be here long. Leukemia was
firmly in charge. Her blood work showed she was
severely anemic. An ultrasound showed that she had
metastatic cancer involving most of her organs. The vet
wanted to try an iron treatment to see if her system
would rally and buy her more time. It did for a very
short time, she appeared to feel better and was active
and playing. A few weeks ago she was back at the vet
because she was losing weight although she was eating.
Blood work showed the anemia was back with a full
vengeance. We already had her on cancer drugs to try
to hold it at bay, we were losing the battle. She was still
active and not ready to go. This weekend her health
was going downhill, today she was clearly ready for
us to let her go.
She was a very sweet little girl, very friendly, loved to
sit in your lap. I held her in my arms as she crossed
the rainbow bridge. We will miss our little redhead :)
I am sorry,
Alana
