Roger has been w us for 7 days.
It definitely feels ALOT longer w the amount of improvement I’ve seen with him.

The individuals who found him reached out to us!
And he was found in a well or a ditch.
He must have been stuck for a very long time.
He came to us in pretty rough shape.

You could count every bone in his body.
He was 2 pounds, 7 days ago.
Today, he is 2.5pounds!!!
This is ALMOST a pound of weight gain a day!
Which is incredible!!

His eyes were sunken in.
His breathe smelled awful.
He ( of course ) didn’t want to eat on his own.
He was constantly sneezing and leaking eye and nasal discharge.

Now, you can see his beautiful green eyes!
And his personality hasn’t changed an ounce!
Despite everything he is still the sweetest boy!

No more eye or nasal discharge.
His f***l came back negative for all intestinal parasites!!
And he’s eating like a HORSE.

he’s now a healthy boy😭
A week of critical care, all for this, is beyond worth it!
And thank you to everyone who makes this possible.

Nothing but good news so far for Drako!
His PCV ( packed cell volume )
This is a test ran, to easily check for Anemia.

Friday afternoon- his PCV was 14% ( this is low )
Every 4 hours I have been giving him an iron supplement, and offering small meals.
Today- Monday , his PCV is at 23%!!! Which is ✨amazing✨😩😩

His f***l results will come in tomorrow!
I initially planned on Slowly weaning off his dextrose today, keeping his IV fluids and dextrose in till tomorrow morning ( so he would spend 3 days regulated ) and disconnect him and monitor his glucose and PRAY it would regulate on its own.

And OF COURSE, after a full day at work, weaning him off his dextrose, I get home w him, and he decided he wanted the catheter out 🙃

Did I mention he’s full of sass and attitude?

Bless up to the couple who donated a TV for the wonky room!!
I’ll be spending the night w Drako and all the other babies, so I can wake up every few hours, and check on little man!!!

Send good vibes my way😅 cuz I’m EXHAUSTED.
But he’s worth it!

Drakos Amazon wishlist is attached below!
It’s getting a little chilly here in FL.

He is too small for Guinea pig sweaters.
XXS dog sweaters are to big.
The only thing he fits in are my socks:)
If anyone is crafty and would like to make him some clothes, please PM us 😅

I put Guinea pig outfits on the wishlist cuz I figured I would sew them if need be.

As a tech- I am able to place a lot of our critical animals on IV fluids.
Depending on their size, we occasionally need a syringe pump.
Ours broke, it’s old, so I kind of expected it to happen eventually, but this puts us in a bind with the animals I can have on fluids here at the rescue.

Amazon is having a cyber Monday deal on a NEW syringe pump!
It’s a HUGE ask ( I know! ) but we can really use!

*funded*
Thank you so so sooo much to banks

Ocean has been placed in a foster home and is absolutely livin his best life!
He had blood work and a ProBNP done which all came back normal!
His murmur is a 4/6 NOT a 6/6 like the previous clinic initially thought! ( all good things so far🤞)
He has his echocardiogram scheduled for December 10th!
We need to raise 165$ for his echocardiogram!
But he is over all a healthy cat! And LOOOVES his foster family 🫶🏻

Recap on Ocean:

This little guy has all his limbs intact and isn’t obviously sick.
On the outside, he’s not wonky 🤨
But INTERNALLY¿? 🫣🤭
He’s a wonky boy at heart!! ( literally )
Ocean was found as a stray, taken in to be fixed and was found to have a 6/6 heart murmur ( if you’ve ever heard a heart murmur you’ll understand the name pun😅
Heart murmurs sound like the 🌊 ocean!!)

Ocean will need a ✨ full ✨ cardiac work up!!
Blood work, X-rays, and an Echocardiogram.

So let’s welcome ANOTHER! Wonky disaster to the rescue🥳🥳
✨✨OCEAN✨✨🫶🏻

He’s definitely not a cat, but he’s still the cutest thing to ever walk the planet!!

This little guy was a transfer from another rescue.

Apparently, he came from Craigslist. They were given to someone, who gave them to someone, who gave them to someone who then contacted c Pitbull rescue, who did everything they could for him and his sister- but unfortunately depleted funds and he needed more care.
That’s where we came in!
( shout out to triple C for everything they’ve done for him and his sister (who we do not have )) y’all literally ROCK!!!

We named him “Drako” ( because a little dog needs a big dog name😅 )
He is roughly 2 months old, weighing a WHOPPING 1.2pounds.
I have kittens in the wonky room the same age and they’re bigger than he is🥹🥹

Drako is having a VERY difficult time regulating his own glucose, despite having an amazing appetite!
( but he’s a boujee boy and prefers his food puréed)

Bloodwork was perfect- besides his severe anemia.
We’ll be sending off a f***l to the lab the second he p**ps!
He was tested for a liver shunt w TripleC and results were Negative! (YAYY!!)
He was hospitalized w TripleC for his low glucose but off his IV he continued to not be able to regulate it.
This resulted in low glucose readings- and seizure activity.

We have Drako “hospitalized” in the wonky room on his IV fluids and dextrose (sugar) to supplement and give him the sugar he needs to regulate his glucose.
We’ve started him on a broad spectrum antibiotic and an iron supplement.

We have an appointment next week, for Drako to get an ultrasound done, and recheck his PCV to see if his anemia improved over the weekend.
Ive been up every 3-4 hours checking his glucose, feeding him, checking his temp, and over all making sure Drako is okay!
The lack of sleep isn’t fun, but anything for this bundle of joy to thrive!!

He’s a sassy boy! W a lot of s***k and attitude 😅
Welcome to the rescue Drako Baby🫶🏻

We will be working on making an Amazon wishlist so he can be ✨spoiled✨ for the holidays!!

11/29/2024

9 days ago, we took in D***y. Our seizure baby!!
I am proud to say, it has been 8 days w out a seizure! And he was recently diagnosed w steroid responsive meningitis.
He talked to me the first time yesterday AND let me pet him w out freaking out 😭
I am one happy foster momma!

11/28/2024

I will not be responding to messages of any kind, or calls tomorrow.
For the first time, in a long time, Hampton and I will be spending the day w family❤️

If you have an emergency w a found cat, please bring to your closest Emergency clinic, or hold the cat in an indoor area away from your other pets for the night.
We will reach back out to everyone on Friday.

Animal control, and shelters locally ( as far as I know ) will be closed.

If you are fostering for us,and have an emergent situation please text my cell phone number.

I hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving 🦃 🫶🏻

Ft: Grogu and Ron watching me make dinner 😅

We are getting pretty famous w animal control😅
We now have them reaching out pretty often w medical cases they pick up to see if we are able to intake.
And THAT, is how we ended up with Roger!!
I’m not quite sure about his history, or how he was found.
But Roger is in pretty rough shape.
He’s an estimated 6 months old, at 2 pounds..
You can count every bone in his frail little body.
He has an abscess on his paw- radiographs showed no break or fracture.
His eyes are sunken in, he has awful nasal and eye discharge.
Horrible sneezing, his breath smells rancid.
Roger has an awful upper respiratory infection.
He’s severely anemic, pale, weak, and dehydrated.
Despite how awful he looks, despite how awful he feels.
Roger is the sweetest, most cuddliest cat.
He constantly seeks attention, and wobbles to the front of his kennel every time he hears the wonky room door close.

We have started him on antibiotics, iron supplements, subcutaneous fluids, eye medication, nebulizer treatments.
We are currently syringe feeding him multiple times a day, and it’s enticing him to occasionally lap his rebound out of his bowl.

Roger is going to require a lot of care, and medical management to get him stabilized and up to weight!!
But I am LOOVING and absolutely adore caring for this sweet baby😫

Welcome to the rescue Roger!!!
Here’s to your new start at life🫶🏻

Covering graphic photos

Katness has been a kitten we’ve had in the rescue for a few months.
She was an intake from another rescue.

She’s always had some p**p issues.
She had a congenital defect to her re**um.
She had a fully intact re**um, but the skin around it was mobile/ loose/ open and not attached to tissue..
This created a small opening, outside the re**um, hence why when she defecated it “came out like toothpaste “
( explaining this is going to be so complicated😅)
If you don’t have a weak stomach, we will be posting videos of before and after in the comment section so it hopefully makes a bit more sense!)

2 weeks ago Katness couldn’t pass stool through her re**um.
It was getting stuck in the mobile /loose skin.
We brought her to the vet and she was diagnosed with a**l stenosis.

We’ve been exploring medical management and possible surgical options to fix this issue.

WELL last week Katness passed a small amount of rock solid stool.
Despite being on stool softeners religiously..

This tore the skin on her rear end, making her re**um fully exposed.

Since this incident we have had ZERO p**p issues w Katness.
She can defecate on her own, without any issues!!
And she no longer has toothpaste p**p!!!
Although- this was definitely not a way we wanted to fix her a**l stenosis.. well 🤷🏻‍♀️ it works!
We have started her on an antibiotic and are applying topical cream so it can heal the best it can and not become infected.
But I am ecstatic that Katness ( might ) not have p**py issues anymore!!
Only time will tell, but we’ll see what the future holds!

Her case has been nothing short of mind boggling.
This was a defect I have personally never seen before.
And I’ve never dealt with so many p**py butt hole issues w a cat 😅
But we wouldn’t be a wonky rescue, or chaos galore w out cases like this 🤣🤣

We will be monitoring the healing process and her stool output closely before she is officially placed for adoption!

The first photo is her re**um before, last photo is after
Videos are nestled in the comment section.

Every rescue has that one medical condition that they just LOOVE to deal with!!

Mine is ringworm.
It’s odd- I know.
But I have a passion for treating ringworm babies!!
They usually come in pretty nasty, ugly, gross.
No one wants to deal with them, because it is “highly contagious to people and other animals.
If you quarantine and wear proper PPE, this shouldn’t be a concern.

BUT
Rose is our newest ringworm positive baby🦠

She has ringworm all over her body.
She’s a s***ky girl!!
absolutely HATES her medicated bathes.
But would do anything under the sun for some wet food
( rose would also love a lick mat for bathe time 🫶🏻 )

She takes her pills like candy.
And tolerates her daily topical treatments well!

Ringworm is one of the cases that take 6+ weeks to fully get rid of.
But that’s okay!! Rose will be a whole🙌new🙌kitten when she leaves the wonky room!!

It’s been a pretty crazy week.
I have lots of updates to give about Ocean, Katness, and a couple new intakes that I haven’t had the chance to write posts for.

We are SO full, we only have one open kennel in the wonky room.

We are running low on essential supplies that we need to keep going!!
BUUUTT It’s ( my favorite week!! ) BLACK FRIDAY ON AMAZON😫

We are always in need of wet food, p*e pads, baby wipes, and cat litter.

We currently have 3 boxes of wet food left

We have a few other supplies on the wishlist that we could use, but don’t necessarily “need” at the moment- but will eventually need a restock on in the future.

⬇️⬇️Black Friday wishlist ⬇️⬇️

As always!! I appreciate every single one of you, for always keeping us afloat🫶🏻

I am unable to make a chewy wishlist for Black Friday at this time:/
If there are any Black Friday deals on chewy please PM for our address!

D***y boy is doing well!
We took him into the rescue Wednesday afternoon.
We were able to get blood work on him and send it out to the lab.
He has elevated white blood cells, so we are assuming his seizures were toxin related.
His stool sample was also sent to the lab and came back negative for all intestinal parasites.
He had a seizure Wednesday night at 7AM, and Thursday morning at 1AM.
Each time, I was able to give him his seizure meds.
Neither seizure lasted longer than 5 seconds.

His Neuro consult Thursday Evening went as I expected it to.
He is too small and unstable for an MRI/CT scan, but it will be something we pursue if he declines or doesn’t improve.
The neurologist sent out a toxoplasmosis panel- results are pending.

We have started D***y on an antibiotic, and steroid medication Thursday morning as well.
And 🎊 GOOD NEWS🎊🥳🥳
We haven’t had a single seizure sense starting this medication!!
He is eating his food that’s offered to him, and taking his meds like a champ!!
He’s a little wobbly on his feet, but I’m overall happy with his progress and hoping he continues to make strides in the right direction🫶🏻

Thank you to every single person who has donated, and followed along for D***y updates❤️
You guys all rock!!

Chaos had a genetic condition called ‘pectus excavatum ‘
This is a MASSIVE deformity of the rib cage.
Compressing the lungs, and the heart.
Chaos struggled pretty decently - which was to be expected w this condition.
The rule of thumb, is if a kitten can make it to 8-12 weeks of age, without any “serious” medical complications- they are a great candidate for a surgical correction.

Chaos turned 7 weeks this morning.
His condition delayed his development significantly.
He struggled to put on weight, despite my best efforts.
He would occasionally struggle to breathe- and would be placed on oxygen for a significant period of time.
Most of Chaos’s time outside of his bubble was supervised walks around the wonky room, and snuggle time w his sister, May.
He always ate.
Was always alert.
Constantly purring, and was over all the sweetest nugget.
Chaos was most definitely a special dude!!
He created a spiral of “Kenzie I have a pectus kitten can you take it “ trend 😅

We got D***y into the rescue yesterday.
So naturally, I slept in the kitten room since I had to be on seizure watch.

Chaos was dull when I got home.
Over all pretty quiet, didn’t greet me at his oxygen bubble ( odd )
Everything else was normal though..
He ate for me, wanted to cuddle, over all was acting himself.

I woke up at 1AM to D***y seizing, and Chaos gone.

A lot of (literal) chaos to wake up to in a split second.
a lot of overwhelming emotions to immediately feel.

I did nothing wrong..
I know Chaos’s little body just couldn’t handle the pressure anymore..
I knew it was a risk I was taking..

Giving such a critical kitten, with a life threatening medical condition a chance.

Chaos gained his wings.. and he’ll always have a special place in the Wonky room
Rest In Peace Chaos🖤

11/20/2024

D***y arrived at the vet this afternoon!
Thank you to every single person who donated so quickly so we could take this little one in, and get him the help he needs!!
At the moment, we do not have a definitive diagnosis, hopefully tomorrow we will have some answers.
Right now, we are monitoring for any seizure activity and will treat appropriately.

we are running w the assumption that his seizures are toxin VS neurologic VS genetic / neuro FIP VS ( the big scary ) rabies.

He will be quarantined ( as all the new intakes are ) and we will be taking all the necessary precautions to keep everyone safe!

Thank you again, to everyone who donated towards his care.
I cannot express how grateful I am for such an amazing support system and following❤️

Twinkle Toes is BIG Grompy this morning. ( she HATES the cone)

Her abdomen is healing very well!
Ive been cleaning it daily, applying SSD, she’s been on oral antibiotics, anti inflammatories and pain meds.
The necrotic tissue is slowing starting to come off, and the healthy tissue / muscle underneath is becoming exposed.
Over all- I’m happy with the slow progress! And I’m hoping with lots of care here at the rescue she won’t need a surgical correction 🤞
But only time will tell!

11/16/2024

Our thanksgiving babies have done a complete 360 and are thriving!! Playing and acting like kittens again!
They have all tested positive for Giardia ( which we are treating ) but are negative for all other intestinal parasites!
They’re all gaining weight, and looking a million times better!
They have a few more days on their antibiotics, and we’ll recheck a f***l next week.

Turkey was the worst of the litter, and look at him now 😩

Once they’re cleared for adoption by our vet, they’ll be looking for forever homes!!
Turkey, Mashed Potato, Gravy, Cranberry, and Deviled Egg🩶

Elvis ( our paralyzed boy!! ) absolutely ADORES Chaos and May! We have the kitten couch next to their playpen, and I am CONSTANTLY finding him in w them, playing, cleaning, sleeping, eating w them. He truly is the best boy😩 he has full roam of the wonky room, and will always choose to be w the babies😭

Our sweet girl Sage has scored herself the best forever home❤️ She’s settled in, and is the most loving cat! She’s about to be absolutely spoiled!! Recap on Sage: We pulled her from Orange County Animal Services in July when her owners dumped her because she had bladder stones. We took her, and started her on a urinary diet ( thank you Jeanine for purchasing this food for her every month!!) Within 3 months, her stones 100% dissolved, and she’s been looking for her forever family! We haven’t had any adoption interest in Sage, but thanks to Deltona Farmers Market, we were able to get TONS of recognition for the rescue! And she finally found her forever family!!😭

Chaos is back to being his normal, rambunctious, cute self! He has been weaned off of oxygen and has been doing fantastic without it the last couple days. Thank you for all the great vibes and prayers sent our way for him. Fingers crossed 🤞 he continues to stay on the tiny but mighty path❤️ so he can get his procedure scheduled!

We had some ✨amazing✨ custom built kennels donated to us yesterday! So we spent all day yesterday, and today, picking them up, and getting them into the wonky room! To say I’m in LOVE😩 is an understatement. All of the wonky babies have their own bedroom! It solves our quarantine issue completely! And we can house sick babies a little easier! And not have to worry about cross contamination. I am beyond ecstatic to have these in! I feel like it completes the wonky space!!!! ( yes we will be painting them eventually 😅 ) Thank you to Savannah, her husband, my dad, Mount Dora Veterinary Hospital and the gentleman there who helped us load them up!!

The last couple days w chaos has been rough. His respiration rate has become increased, and he is struggling more than he was before. Today, he had a decreased appetite most of the day. Refusing his bottle, and refusing his wet food. We have been tube feeding him all day, but it stresses him out.. it’s vital that he gets nutrients though. We have started him on oxygen, to hopefully make breathing for him easier… this is the part w pectus excavatum kittens that I always hate. Most of them do not make it to the age surgery is recommended / safe ( usually between 8-12 weeks old ) I hate this disorder.. please send all the good vibes and prayers our way for Chaos..

.

Mayhem and Chaos are thriving! Their wittle bodies require more care, attention, and nutrition than a typical bottle baby! They aren’t putting on weight the way I would prefer, but they’re growing like weeds!!🫶🏻 and overall healthy little beans🫘
