I have a busy life. While on the way to the new house on Tuesday, Mrs Elspode spotted a tiny kitten in the middle of the six lane urban artery, 350 Hwy, and wheeled to the side, ordering me out on a rescue mission. The little guy's eyes were sealed shut with infection, essentially rendering him blind. It was blistering hot on the asphalt, and he has blacktop stains on his face, paws and tail. He was emaciated from starvation and anemic from fleas. She rushed him to an emergency vet, and now, only two days later, the little guy is becoming quite spry, eating like a horse, and responding to the vitamins, antibiotics and eye goop very well indeed. He is as yet unnamed, but the barely six week old kitten will go to live with my cat loving oldest son next week. Steve has been unable to have pets in his apartment, so here' s yet another benefit to our move. |
Awwww!!!! That kitten is extremely lucky. It makes me sad and happy at the same time when stuff like this happens. I am sad because a living being was in that condition, but happy that it is going to turn out all right. You are both wonderful people to help this poor guy out!
And congradulations on the progress. Like you said, little steps. You will get done eventually.
In the meantime, I will be sending many good vibes your way!
