Very sad news from the little colony where Esme and her babies came from. Life is hard for cats on the streets. Those kitties with no homes have no choice!.. But if you have kitties and let them outside...well there is no guarantee they won't come to some harm. One of the mom kitties from the colony was attacked and killed today. Please keep your kitties safe inside.

Our 2 desert pups!.
Indiana and Snow!.
Will be one year old on Dec 30th.
They are sweet boys and with a LOT...of constant monitoring and reinforcement we seem to have well adjusted brothers who love each other and us!.

Well...we don't want to talk too soon, but Bardho seems to be doing quite a lot better. His vision is improving. His right eye is still discolored but the redness has all gone. Pupils are still uneven. But in general he is getting better. Just going to keep on with all his medications and hope he will be 100% soon.

Bardho!.. at the vet again this morning....and yes he is another FIV+ kitty from the streets who we absolutely adore!. The many people who wanted him before they knew he was FIV+...well their loss is our gain!.
We still can't pin point what is going on!. Dr Goldenberg doesn't think it's FIP and the last bloodwork really doesn't seem indicative of it. We had stopped the GS after the first visit with Dr Goldenberg....seeing as most occular fip kitties respond quite quickly to the GS...and his eyes were still bad!. Today I asked her about restarting it...I mean it can't hurt!. She agreed.
Recheck in a couple of weeks...and I need to call her next week to give her a progress report. So now Bardho has had 2 sets of regular bloodwork a chem panel and a uveitis panel. Xrays and ultrasound ...2 visits with Dr Stone and 2 with Dr Goldenberg and Dr Goldenberg consulted with a colleague of hers who is very FIP savvy and coincidentally I was going to take Bardho to see...Dr Kendra in Ventura...she didn't think it's FIP either!.
We have spent probably close to $3,000...and would have been so much more if not for the very generous discounts given by his vets. Please send good thoughts to Bardho. He is such a good boy and spent over 4 hours driving today without a murmur.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Save A kitty!.
There are only a handful of licensed facilities in Los Angeles County that can provide refuge and salvation to dumped and stray kitties who appear to be unadoptable!...meaning many rescues have no place for them to stay!. Thus sadly many of these kitties are overlooked.
The longer they struggle to survive and suffer on the streets ....the more likely they are to contract diseases ....specifically FIV and FELV.
We aren't saying we can take in every friendly stray we are approached about!....but the Sanctuary is home to over 70 otherwise homeless older cats who were suffering on the street!. A few of them had been taken in and already vetted by good Samaritans because they just couldn't leave them suffering on the street...these people deserve a tremendous amount of recognition...because most people just walk on by!. Quite a few of the cats we take in are FIV+
another misunderstood condition that too many people, including some rescues, don't quite understand. We do understand that many people are worried and concerned about bringing an FIV+ kitty into their homes when they have other cats.
Regardless of the circumstances...so many of these cats need our help... we do take in FIV+ cats...we just welcomed another FIV kitty on Sunday!.
If you are thinking of making a years end donation!... please think of helping our Sanctuary kitties.
Happy Holidays

Mayo and Bardho!.
Bardho is doing okay...not completely himself and his vision has suffered immeasurably.
Tomorrow we are seeing the eye specialist again.
We don't know what is wrong but his Dr's are leaning away from FIP.
His repeat bloodwork looked pretty good no fungal infections...but was positive for Bartonella. He is eating but is definitely not himself.

Happy Sunday!

We have a new son!
Meet Indigo.
A very sweet couple trapped/rescued him from the streets a couple of months ago and had him fully vetted. He is FIV+. They live in a high coyote area in Malibu and didn't want to return him to the perils of outside!. They have other kitties and the dynamic of adding in another would have been too stressful for their cats.
He is semi feral... but was coming along with socialization, so hopefully, he will blossom with us.

Moo Family update...just for those who may not have seen recent posts.
Mama Esme is now a resident of The Save A Kitty Sanctuary ...Tinkerbell and Annabelle were adopted...names changed but to me they will always be Tinkerbell and Annabelle!.. we are so happy when our kitties find good homes, and they got a terrific one together. So we don't care about name changes...."what's in a name "... and Cedric and Mirabelle still at the Sanctuary!.. they would love to be adopted together.
