The Fosters: Silent Sunday
Posted by in cats Posted by in cats The Fosters: Growing up
Posted by in cats Been a rough week here. I got a very bad cold, or perhaps the RSV, which combined with my asthma late last week, and rather laid me low for many days. Some good meds and a ton of rest are bringing me back to life slowly. I was so grateful that I had absolutely no…Read more »
The Fosters: Welcome Luca
Posted by in cats This poor little guy, about four weeks old, was found hollering his lungs out in a field all by himself. After waiting an hour or so to see if mom was coming back, some kind souls took him in, and he is now with me. He has to be in quarantine for a bit to…Read more »

His upper respiratory stuff is from his mom, and affects his eyes as well as his congestion. He also had some aspiration…Read more »

Posted by in cats I’m posting about the development of kittens on Castaway’s Facebook page each week, so here’s the two week report and photos. As you’ll see here – Leo may be coming home this evening, if he remains stable at day today. Rather amazing news after a whole weekend of reports that were basically: no progress yet.…Read more »
The Fosters: Leo Circles the Drain
Posted by in cats I hate it when my morning starts with a visit to the emergency vet before 7 am (or anytime, really, but…) Poor little Leo is not doing well, and I knew there were nothing more I could do to help him. My instincts were apparently correct because they triaged him instantly, and admitted him in…Read more »
