I’m devestated to let you all know that Elune passed away in the night. Her operation was really successful but the secondary aspiration was too much for her.

we are heartbroken! 💔🐾

24/06/2023

She back home again! Being syringe fed at the moment and lots of medication from appetite stimulant to antibiotics and pain meds.

It's going to be a long road to recovery. But I am soo glad shes still with us!

22/06/2023

Have been to visit Elune today and take her some of her favourite food as she’s not eating.

Chest x-ray clear which is good. Possibly home Saturday morning with a feeding tube if she’s still not eating by then.

Keep fighting baby girl. We all want you home ❤️

21/06/2023

Although happy to be home, Elune was aspirating so i’ve just taken her back onto the vets.

She will remain hospitalised for a few days while
she gets back on her feet.

❤️

21/06/2023

She’s home. she’s still aspirating and at risk of phunumonia. Has lots of meds. But she’s fighting! ❤️

21/06/2023

She had a good night, has eaten small amounts. some sickness and temperature which had since gone back down, the vets said likely due to aspiration.

If all stays okay we hope to be bringing my baby girl home tonight. ❤️

I didn’t really want to have to post this here. But in all honesty I need a platform to defend myself from some really nasty things that have been said about me by a fellow Breeder Fe Bear.

Following on from the post yesterday about Elune becoming really poorly and needing emergency surgery. I had used any savings I had towards other vet bills and personal unexpected expenses recently. Someone suggested a gofundme. I was faced with do or die, so hastily set one up. Soon after, I managed to agree a payment plan with the vets and the gofundme was taken down and my post(s) deleted.

However during the short time my post was active Fe Bear had commented that I was a scammer. Now I am not silly, and I am well aware that there are some really nasty, dishonest people in the world, so she is right in protecting her group from that.

But what is questionable is why my post was approved in the first instance, if she was just going to go on to call me a scammer?

Furthermore, I sent Fe Bear a direct message as I had deleted my initial post. I was courteous and explained my situation in far more detail than I should have needed to a complete stranger.

(see attached images of the full conversation)

Following this several more posts/comments were made about me telling lies and implying some pretty horrible things. None of which I was able to respond to or defend myself as I had been removed from the group and blocked.

The point of this post is not to create more drama, but to defend myself and stand up to this bullying behavior which I have seen one too many times since starting this hobby.

It’s okay to disagree with the gofundme. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. But what I don’t feel is okay is to disagree with it then go on to be nasty and make up half truths publicly bashing me.

A lesson I teach my kids is that not everyone has to be friends, but that doesn't mean you have to be enemies. Kindness doesn’t cost a thing but is also invaluable!

A few points I would like to further clarify are:

◾ Yes I set up a gofundme for emergency surgery. This was promptly taken down when another means of payment was arranged.

◾ Elune was not left to suffer while I tried to get others to foot the bill. Within 30 mins of an x-ray confirming her condition she was booked in for surgery. I would NEVER allow any animal to suffer least of all one of my pets!

◾ No, I am not going on holiday because I posted on my personal page looking for a dog sitter!! Fe Bear has put 2 & 2 together and come up with 5! I was asking for a dog sitter so that we can take 2 of my current litter over to a friend in Prague. The Courier cost was £450 per kitten so we used that towards travel and accommodation to take the kittens ourselves.

◾Yes I did call her a 'nasty name' I stated that she is clearly re****ed if after 3 hours of speaking to her she till cant grasp what I was trying to explain to her. I was upset with it all. What I have said has been shared for you all to see. I challenge Fe to prove otherwise and back her allegations of harassment.

I think it is a real shame this happened and furthermore that other breeders have been dragged into this for daring to defend me and speak out when they felt what was happening was not right.

As an adult I hoped this ‘mean girl’ vibe would have been left well behind. But it seems not. It is such a shame that others feel unable to speak out for the fear of repercussions.

I got into breeding and showing cats as a hobby, as I am a lifelong animal lover. I have been very fortunate to have an amazing mentor. But on more than one occasion I have been saddened by the actions of a small minority in the ‘cat community’ Surely we should all be supporting each other and lifting each other up, not dragging each other down!

Thank you for taking the time to read and for all the well wishes, I will keep you all updated on Elune as the day progresses.

Thank you for all the lovely and kind messages about Elune.

Stuart (my vet) has given me an update that she’s doing well this evening. So i’m trying to remain positive through the night!

My poor baby girl!! 💔

For those who don’t know, Elune became very poorly very quickly. Yesterday about 3pm i noticed one of the cats had been sick. At 4pm I started to put some washing away and noticed she was trying to be sick and seemed very lethargic.

we took her to the vets where she has a check up and anti sickness jab.

over night she remained lethargic, so back to the vet first thing. She recieved an x-ray and we were given the devastating news that she had a Diaphragmatic Hernia.

All our cats are indoor cats, however the vet explained that a Diaphragmatic hernia is usually caused by blunt force such as a road traffic accident, unless present from birth (congenital)

Elune had a litter of kittens 9 months ago so seemed unlikely to be congenital. but not impossible.

However we had to make the decision to operate or see her slip away. So we decided to operate.

During operating it was apparent that her stomach, pancreas and half her liver had shifted up into her rib cage.

How this happened will remain unknown. Possibly underlying congenital weakness and made worse by a misplaced jump the window ledge or from the kids bunk beds.

Usually someone is always home with the cats but sadly my mum recently passed away after a short illness, so we have been out of the house in the days clearing her house.

We are just hoping and wishing that she has a good night and continues to recover from this.
