This fine young ginger boy would do great in someone's home

Another trip to the vet, this time for Petey, whose gums get inflamed due to an immune-mediated response. He needs this treatment about once a month.

Gigi has been losing weight recently, which is how the ordeal with Pitou started about 6 months ago...so I just took her in for tests. Fortunately nothing serious apart from high globulin, which indicates a possible infection. So she got an injection of antibiotics, which will hopefully take care of anything that might be brewing. Regardless, sure costs a lot! 😵

Pitou just left us while I was stroking him and talking to him. He was a very special kitty that I used to feed in another village years ago and eventually brought into the household. It took him some time to get used to living indoors, and he never got that close to the other cats, but with time he became more affectionate. He had a very quiet purr that he rarely used, which made it all the more special when he did, like when he would climb onto my chest in bed. We'll miss you lots, dear Pitou 😿

An expensive way of being told nothing can be done...

Looking like the end of the road for Pitou 😿 Just waiting at the vet while they take a chest X Ray and a blood sample to see if his heart can handle intravenous fluids.

Trying to keep Pitou going. His kidneys are shot. Need to do this twice a day.

Taken a few minutes after Tripod's passing last month. I posted this on my wall when I took this pic, but only now am posting it here. He was a trooper. I thought about taking him in to be put down towards the end, but he clearly wanted to stay as long as he could. R.I.P., love you lots ❤️

Tripod hemmed in by love

Tripod seemed to be up to having a second helping this afternoon

19/01/2022

Tripod was feeling well enough today to have a little breakfast and come out to lie in the sun for a while 🌞

Not looking good for Tripod...😿

Feeding lots of kitties out there

Gigi was unable to make friends - until she met Leo

I've been giving to various causes my whole working life. Now that I haven't got a regular income, I sure am hoping there are folks out there who will step up to the plate and start helping out with my cat expenses on a regular basis. I have a lot of previously and currently stray cats that I care for - the main expenses are food and vet bills. I don't really see how this can be sustained for any real length of time unless there are others who can partner with me financially.

Pitou seemed to be fading last night, but he perked up a fair bit today. Pretty good appetite and tolerated his meds well.

Leo receiving some loving from Auntie Gigi after his desexing and hernia operation.

Very grateful for yesterday's HK$3k from the same donor as before.

Pitou is still with us, but at a price

10/12/2021

Very weak...at least he's resting peacefully

Sad news - Pitou's condition worsened overnight, and the vet said there wasn't much point in keeping him hospitalised any longer 😿 He said the choice was basically to euthanize him or bring him home on subcut fluids and see if by any small chance he stabilises. I chose the latter.

09/12/2021

Many thanks to one of my friends, who shall remain anonymous, for his second financial contribution to Tommy's Tabbies 😺

Hospital visit - poor Pitou is not thrilled about having to stay here 😿

07/12/2021

Sadly, Pitou would appear to have kidney disease and heart problems 😿 He's been hospitalised for tests and an IV drip for at least 2-3 days. HK$8000 deposit just for starters (at this rate, I'm going to end up with heart problems myself 😩). Hoping for the best, but it's not looking good...

It's going to start getting hard to keep up with my feline food and vet expenses for those I've taken in and the ferals around the property, what with my finances having changed since giving up full time employment. As such, donations are now welcome! 😸 Bank transfer (for those in HK and Canada), PayMe (for those in HK) or PayPal for anyone else! Just let me know if you'd like to chip in, either one-off or regularly.

Support Tommy's Tabbies! 😸
