Basil is improving every day!
Good morning from Basil!
Basil is enjoying a little breakfast this morning, and is finally showing interest in eating hard cat food. We are hopeful that this means she will start packing on additional weight. Her incision continues to heal with the aid of two antibiotics. She has been fighting a nasty infection, but we arenāt surprised because she is a bit of a messy kitten.
Our pet pantry has been running critically low the past week. Fortunately we do have access to bulk discounted food programs, but itās still expensive to feed so many mouths. Our food/litter bill this week was a mouth dropping $1100. We could REALLY use help raising funds to cover the thousands of pounds of supplies we needed.

If you needed a puppy pick me up this morning, we have you covered. š„°
UPDATE:
Tippyās X-rays do not show any obvious injuries. That is not necessarily a good or bad thing, but does mean that her injury is likely related to her spinal cord somewhere. She also received some anti inflammatory medication to make sure she is comfortable and this can also potentially help with swelling around her spinal cord. We have all of Tippyās bill paid today, and will be transporting her to another rescue for further evaluation and to see if with steroid/physical therapy that she will regain control of her legs.
Tippy needs our help this morning!
This baby doll came into the shelter today and is in some way paralyzed in her back in. She can move and kick both back legs, but is unable to stand. Iām not sure how she got in this shape, but what I do know is she is one of the sweetest cats weāve met.
Tippy has an appointment this morning for X-rays at Midway veterinary hospital. We need to raise an initial $300 estimated to cover an exam, X-rays and any medication for Tippy.

Dude (the dog) is feeling sooo much better after his leg amputation. Look at him go. Special thanks to CUDDLY for the tennis ball heās enjoyed today!
Hey guys,
The Rockcastle litter hereā
Can you all send some high quality canned food for us? We are trying to put some weight on and get stronger every day. Our mean foster mom is giving us like four medicines a day, so we feel like we deserve something yummy to eat. We also make big big messes as we have numerous fecal parasites we are being treated for.
Our foster mom put together a small wishlist for us! We are hungry babies after living in such poor conditions outside and being so sick. We are a lot of work, but our foster mom said we are worth it though.

For those that have been following these kittens journey and supported them, we wanted to provide an update. More photos/videos will be in the comments.
When we originally said āyesā to this group of kittens, we were not hopeful and knew we may need to euthanize some of them depending on their condition upon veterinary examination. We did not immediately euthanize any of them because our vet felt they all had a decent chance of survival. Of the seven we took, we did unfortunately lose one post-op from a double enucleation (eye removal) surgery. He did not recover from anesthesia, but his two sisters who each had an eye removed, are doing very well. Below is a video of one of them cleaning her face after her evening medication and meal last night. Her surgery site looks a bit rough but we have been advised to mostly leave the scabbing alone for now since itās intertwined in her sutures.
All of the remaining six are on various medications. They all have fecal parasites causing them to have diarrhea so they are very messy. All are on antibiotics. We had one with a leg full of maggots and is starting to look much better and we expect it fully heal without further intervention. Another has a scalded backside that the inflammation is going down too. They are eating well and have been released to an experienced medical foster home. We expect them to remain in foster for several weeks while on medication for parasites and infection.
We have raised $1094.80 toward our original estimate of $2000!! We havenāt received our statement yet, but if youād like to contribute to their care, weād love to have your support.
