The only negative about these fosters...

...is their test results!

Rue and Bro got an official clean bill of health today, yay! So did my kitten, Tiny Bro (Lil' Bro's son, who will be staying with me and my cat, Elle).

We're still cleaning up some roundworms and a veeeery mild case of hookworm (the lab folks only found ONE!), so got their meds in them now and in three weeks, the last pill.

Sharon, the woman taking Rue, agreed to let me come and give Rue the meds after the adoption - I'll go for a follow-up and do the pill-down-the-cat's-throat, which I'm pretty ace at :)

This is a VERY happy day! Everyone else tested negative, so this truly doesn't come as a surprise. But, I'm glad I opted for all the testing anyway, especially considering the dangers these kitties faced in the wild before I started fostering them. 

They gave no struggle whatsoever during the bloodwork and fecal sampling, and were such good kitties. Rue's on an antibiotic right now to help with the stinky, loose stool she's been having, and she gets rewarded with Nutrical when she's done, to get that nasty medicine flavor out of her mouth. She takes it like a champ.

Bro was so sweet and gentle when the tech handled him, and again, he gave no resistance whatsoever. He's a king of cats, and I'm so glad he and Tiny get to hang. His personality rubs off on his son and EVERYONE fell in love with my boys today when we were at the doctor's :)

  1. Those babies wouldn't have made it in Edgewater without your loving kindness. Just having the opportunity to receive tender love and affection from a caring person like yourself and others who have had a hand in helping out has allowed them to have a better chance at life. You have given Rue and Bro and the others a new and wonderful opportunity to live the life they so deserve. Plus, you are an awesome Foster Mom. Thanks for that. From the family of Chloe's Paw.Org.
