    Default About Isis....

    One of the stray cats I watch over has been badly hurt. I dont know what exactly happened to her, but we think she was hit by a car. I'm multitasking right now between keeping her calm and trying to scrape up vet money... ugh. My male is trying to borrow, and Ive been spamming the net looking for paypal donations. Egads. Could ya'll keep fingers crossed and such? Isis is an amazing cat and she really needs all the help she can get.

    Animal control came for Isis. The woman thinks it might be poison, not that she was hit, but she isnt sure. She's taking the darling to the hospital, and she said she would call me personally... but she thinks, if it's really bad, that Isis will be put down since she technically has no owner.....

    We can't save them all unfortunately. Instead put your money towards those shelters who endorse and perform de-sexing operations for the public at large for a very low cost or free this way there won't be so many stray/homeless cats !!

    awww I hope she's okay. I just took my dog to the ER vet the other night and they had a sign saying they won't take anymore strays UNLESS they are critically ill or injured so that must mean they will help them if they are in serious troulbe. Hopefully the animal control lady can find someone who can help the poor kitty.

    The woman never did call back... I waited and waited... finally exhaustion took over and I slept a tad... still no word. I dont even know where exactly it is that Isis was taken. I'm completely frazzled right now... crispy. My sleep was nothing but her crying in my dreams. Ugh. I've been outside a hundred times tonight, checking on the others in the colony.... seeing how they're doing... making sure that they're all still around and ok.

    I'm so sorry to hear this news. The good news is there are people in this world who take the time to look out for these animals in need of help.

    Good luck. I hope everything works out.

    I have to love the name Isis, that is a great name for a kitty (poor thing). I hope she turns out OK!

    Do you have cat-hating neighbors around? Some people will get extreme about it. OTOH she might have eaten something funky on her own, you never know--but I can't imagine what would be so bad as to possibly kill a kitty that could be naturally eaten--strange...

    PaigeDWinter,

    I'm so sorry to read about Isis. I'm a cat lover, well animal lover, I just like cats more because they don't need constant attention or supervision, and they do the darndist things.

    Anyway I have lost a cat or two in my time. I was wondering if your in Florida, if there are any skinks the area. I’m not sure if it was a particular varity that did this or it was common to all. Skinks if your unfamiliar are a small lizard, just the right size for a cat to hunt. However they have a very nasty habit. They will drop their tail and run if they are scared. Now that tail presents a great plaything to most curious cats. Unfortunately it is quite poisonous. Usual symptoms include dehydration, dizziness, lack of coordination, they do not appear healthy, and could look like they had been run over.

    I only know this because I lost Shan-e to one. I was only about five, but after then I'd always check what my cats brought home. Shan-e was so funny, loved to hunt. My mother would send her out with a paper bag, and she would come home with our treat, in the bag.

    I miss having my old cat around, and when he ran across the tile floor he sounded just like his name. pity I had to give him to annother home, where we live now is between a busy road and a train. Not a good place for 4 legged outdoor animals.

    Anway love your signature, those are the words to one of my fav songs.

    Gracias for the kind words, folks. It is muchly appreciated. Out complex is mostly cat lovers, that I know of... a lot of the people here feed the colony cats, I just tend to also tend to their wounds... yeah, I'm the cat lady

    As for skinks.... I cant say I've ever seen one... I see anoles and geckos all of the time though... as well as green and Cuban tree frogs, roaches, cicadas... etc. I'll keep an eye out, though. I worry that the other colony cats will get sick too. Meh.

    i'm so sorry paige. my heart is with you. i'll be sending good thoughts. if you can contact them and let them know you'll pay for her care and officially "adopt" her she has a much better chance of not being destroyed.

    Another thing you could do is call your local SPCA and find out about any cat welfare groups in your area. They will often come out and capture the entire feral colony and spay/neuter them and get them some shots. Most of them will not put any of them down unless theyre really sick. We have a few in our area that do this, one of which returns them to whence they came after the vetcare. Another one adopts them out after some foster care to mellow them out a bit. Just a suggestion.
