♥️ If you've been following Sia's story, you'll be so happy to see her progress both medically & clinically.

$6,000+, 6 weeks, countless hours of supportive care, intervention, emergency hospital visits, every 2 hour syringe feeding, back & forth to the hospital to syringe feed every 3 hours, an abundance of medication, tests, bloodwork, prayers, love, kindness, advocacy & the result... This little life is restored, here with us, squawking for attention at all hours, commanding that she be heard now that she's found her voice!

It is through the collective that these little lives have the absolute best chance when they land here.

Let's take a look at how she's doing & where she started! ♥️🐾

Just a formerly unhoused colony cat learning she's safe & loved! Proud of you Willow, you took the time you needed to feel trust, comfort & safety & the result of that is that when given the option to leave your enclosure, you chose fresh air, sun, friends, the big outdoors (in the safety of the magical RBAR Catio, thank you Catio King )

30SixPaws Animal Rescue Thank you for entrusting Willow to our care, though it's been a very slow roll to comfort, confidence & curiosity, sweet Willow absolutely loves bum scritchies, belly rubs, body massages, just ALL of the loving! And now, we also know how much she loves a good adventure!

It's funny because the last time we tried to see if she'd accept safety in freedom, she sky rocketed up the curtains & perched herself on the rod for an hour.

Time heals all things & I've never felt this inspiration more than now.

A few joyous milestones for us:
• Willow's freedom
• Papa beat FIP
• Sia beat starvation, anemia, she beat death, truly

It's been so hard to feel joy without Tika, but I know she'd be so happy for these little beans! 💓

DOG... This word means so many different things to so many different people. But to me, it means Tika Tonka - My soul dog. My soul dog I had to say goodbye to yesterday, and truly all I can say, is I want her back. I want another 50 years with her because 13 was such a gift, I want a bunch more. All of these depraved souls getting rid of their pets for absolutely asinine & selfish reasons, you're selling yourself short of the greatest gift - A lifetime of the love & loyalty of a most worthy dog.

Tika has quietly taught me a lifetime of lessons & all I want is another hour, day, year, decade to show her how truly magical, epic & what a total gift she is. And I say she is, because so many of us have learned so much from her & hearing each person's experience of how she impacted them has filled my cup & shattered my soul simultaneously.

I want relief of this pain in the return of my soul dog, knowing I will never get to hug her, kiss her, praise her, spoil her, love on her with treats & fluffy beds & fuzzy blankeys & new stuffies to shred or squeak toys to destroy.

Nothing makes sense in my world today. And all I want is my soul pup to be returned to me - cancer free, degenerative Myelopathy free, no double knee replacements - Just restored to her pure & perfect self.

The lessons & gift of a soul dog are other worldly unmatched. Tika is the only dog I've ever had, I've only ever has cats - this is unimaginably different...

My days do not make sense. I feel untethered, unanchored & completely lost without the love & companionship we shared. I've joined a club I don't want to be a part of and my brain & heart cannot mitigate that I'll never have the opportunity to gold my sweet girl again.

You taught us so very much, sweet Tika Tonka. You taught us that truly, anyone can change, patience is a lifelong endeavour for some of us, you were the epitome of unconditional love, the safety you brought very cat at Rainbow's Bridge Animal Rescue - RBAR is truly something unmatched, that can never be replicated or duplicated.

Thank you to all of you for advocating for her, loving her & contributing to her recovery!

Thank you to the board of directors who even after we all 4 agree - CLOSED FOR INTAKE - That when a soul like this arrives they say, we support your decision completely, we would have done the same thing.

Thank you to the volunteers that show up to provide care 6 out of 7 days of the week on 2 shifts to care for nearly 30 cats!

It takes a village & RBAR truly has the best! ♥️🐾

♥️ Watch to the end...

Spirit waited 587 days after living outdoors & surving the elements & cruel humans. He arrived to us completely aggressive, lunging, swatting, hissing & posturing, after 10 months in care, he blossomed, but somehow we couldn't find his match!

Panther arrived into care at 4 weeks old, the only survivor of her litter from a colony of 40+ cats that were left outside to languish because the hone owners liked looking at then. We took 9 of the youngest & most medically compromised from this case & they've remained in care healing from such a rough start...

Fast forward to their forever, Spirit's adopters were referred to us from an amazing family that adopted triplets from us. As soon as they saw Spirit, heard his story & met him, they knew he was their furever love. While visiting Spirit at RBAR, Panther quickly found her way into their hearts & laps & well, as you can see, the rest is history!

Why does RBAR have such a lengthy adoption process - Because THIS is what every cat deserves - Patiencr, kindness, commitment, veterinary care, a lifetime with the family that says yes to today, yes to when you're not a kitten anymore, yes to FOREVER! That's an RBAR Adopter & we truly have the absolute BEST!

Knowing how different these 2 dumped cats lives would be had they not landed in care is all the wind I need to know this mission is worth everything because their lives deserve our everything!

Thanks so much to Spirit & Panther's Mama & Papa for being such patient, kind & dedicated souls! 💖

♥️ Hi, it's me, Sia!

It was a long 40 hours at the hospital & I adamantly objected to being in jail in such a bright, noisy place.

They tell me my anemia is now REGENERATIVE! 🥳 Which before it was presenting as non-generative anemia which means my bone marrow wasn't making red blood cells but it woke up and now it is. Unfortunately, it appears that infection or inflammation also woke up & my white blood calls & neutrophils are adamantly objecting to its presence which is causing an unrelenting fever!

My fill in mama continues to check my temperature every 12 hours, but as we suspected, what I really needed was the human that nurses me because I would not eat in hospital & since returning to RBAR, I've consumed 5, 3 ounce tins of Royal Canin, 8 tube treats & 15 temptations in my short 24 hours since returning. I really missed my safe place & I'm sleeping like a baby & living like a queen!

We're waiting for more blood work & will be back to the clinic in 24 hours for repeat blood work. Unfortunately this isn't a wait & see scenario & without our CBC & Chem 17 repeats, we're playing Russian roulette with my life & my fill in mama says RBAR does not play with our little valuable lives so even though my expenses have exceeded $4,000 in 11 days, she says RBAR won't quit on me!

Thank you to you all for your love & support! If you could share RBAR with your friends & family so they could find their furever kittens or cats, they'd be so appreciative - www.rainbowsbridgeanimalrescue.com If you're in a position to donate, donations can be made via etransfer to [email protected]

Alert & ready to find a new place to hide! This is Sweet Sia while we were waiting to be discharged from MOVEH with her liquid predisolone! 🥰

She's now settled in back at RBAR & we'll post her update soon! Appetite back, affection full throttle, spice level that the other kitties are still at RBAR level 💯. I anticipate Sia fought for her life while she lived in that parking lot because she is not yet accepting cat friends!

One day she'll learn, this is the good life.

Stay tuned for more Sia updates! ♥️🐾
