All-

A call from Belita last night reminded me I had not told anyone the
results of Rosie's vet visit. Rosie is a bone thin Boxer starveling
that came to us a week ago. Her vet visit showed her to weigh 32.6
lbs. She is heartworm positive which did not surprise me. She is
around 2 years old and has had more than one litter. She will sit and
lie down on command. Very gentle, very frail. She will be treated for
heartworms, but she has to get some weight on. Dr Mohan says at least
40 lbs. Will take about a month for that. Right now she is getting
puppy food and canned food twice a day. She has had all her shots now.
Got her toenails trimmed. A pox on the people that treated her this way.

Sue was returned to us because she had been continuously ill and had
vomiting and diarrhea all the time. None since return. She looks
good. She also saw the vet. Found nothing wrong.

Renee was an outside cat that was rescued and spayed and then brought to
us. Her sibling was torn apart by dogs. Her rescuer took it to the vet
to be euthanized. Thus is the fate of many outside cats.

Roma was a cat that was found in the Fruitland Church yard. The family
that found this declawed tortie fed and loved her twice a day for a
week. They tirelessly looked for her owners and did not find anyone.
They brought her to us and gave $25. They are moving to Sikeston and
have 2 cats of their own. I gave her shot, Frontlined and wormed her and
the next day adopted her out for $75. Hurray!

Greysen (now Cringer) was adopted from us as a kitten and now returned
since the birth of their baby who is allergic. He is one handsome dude.

A black kitten fell out of a transport truck and Max found his way to us
through his rescuer.

Sally and Esther went to the vet for spay tomorrow. Will pick them up
in the afternoon.

Tomorrow am picking up 3 bottle babies whose Mama got killed. Right now
they are in foster care with Kim Leslie.

Being interviewed for the radio at 11am tomorrow. As you can see
Thursday is going to be 2 days long.

Still poking food down Smokey. Think everyone else is on the upswing.

Better wind things up. Have to get the kitties in from the screened in
porch.

Good night,

ALICE
