The neighbors of a girl I work with found this kitten wandering around in their front yard. It wouldn't eat and was all bones, sneezing and wheezing, missing an eye, and the other eye was swollen shut, wheeping, and bugging out of it's head. Another girl I work with mentioned that I had been thinking about getting a kitty so, she brought it in to work for me. I figured the least I could do for the thing was to send it to the vet (seriously!). She took it for me and I gave them my credit card number over the phone after finding out what they needed to do and the cost. After the infection heals, there's no guarantee how well it's one eye will work... if at all. (So, for my first cat... for it to be blind... I'm worried.) I've been feeding it wet fatty food, giving it the prescriptions, etc. It's such a little sweety! He sleeps most of the day and night (like, passed-out sleep), but he loves being petted and he's almost always content to just sit on my lap. He still has a ways to go, but he's eating more and gaining energy. I can't introduce him to my ferret until his infection clears, but I hope they end up getting along! I want to keep him! I want to give him a pirate name since he only has one eye. Captian McGillicutty, Scourge of the Sea! He is Pirate Kitteh!
THe first two are when he first got back from the vet. The last one is him today.
