Had almost 4 years with the fella. I don’t think it would have been as long if Shadow Cats hadn’t made treating his stomatitis possible. RIP Tucker💜

Garfield Update

He’s been home since Monday. He stayed inside long enough to eat a bit and get some petting, then he wanted OUT. He doesn’t act affected and is eating and drinking and back to being our “Welcome Home Greeter”. Video in the comments.

Update on Garfield:

He had his dental appointment today. His mouth was in pretty rough shape. A majority of his teeth had to be pulled. Some were loose and came out easily. One of his front canine teeth was broken off but the root was still there. His jaw bone showed to be so thin on his X-ray that it was decided to clean it out and leave it be for now.
His ears also got a good cleaning and treated for mites, even though none were seen( he gets treated with Revolution), just to be safe and since he claws at them a lot.
With so much work done, Garfield will stay the weekend so he can be monitored and make sure he eats.

Please pray for the old fella. It wasn’t the same coming home tonight and not be greeted by Garfield.

*********************
At the vet with feral colony head honcho, Garfield. Not a happy camper coming here but now a pile of mush. Hard to believe he was so feral before. Now just a love muffin.

Garfield has something going on with his mouth. Hoping it’s nothing too serious.

Buddy looking quite handsome while waiting for dinner time. Buddy is 1 of 5 colony kitties that are left from what used to be over 20! Several adopted into forever homes but some just disappeared.
It’s been several years and Buddy now allows me to pet him. He’s still a scardey-cat and is easily spooked but he has quite a personality. I hope to keep him working with him and eventually turn him into a house cat. 🏠🐈🤞🏻🙏🏻

Dogs and cats face pain and suffering all over the world. But I can’t think of it being much worse that dogs and cats that are slaughtered in Asia. It’s more prevalent than the world knows. Please sign this petition and donate if you can.

I haven’t been able to bring myself to share this until now.

We lost Chester.

He stopped eating one day and then seriously declined the next. My mom drove me to the vet so I could hold Chester. He had gone totally blind and I didn’t want him to be scared.

Chester passed away in my arms before the vet even entered the room.

I am grateful he didn’t have to be stuck but it doesn’t make the loss any easier. Chester would have been with us 3 years on August 4, 2025. He was in such poor condition when we rescued him, and even though I know he was better with us, he never put on much weight and filled out and never was very active- so I never would have guessed he would have lived as long as he did. But again, his age didn’t make losing him any easier. He was my last rescue. He was such a special little old man.

It hasn’t been the same not seeing him every day. The next morning without him was difficult for me. We had a routine. He wasn’t an active boy from the start but especially wasn’t the last several months. But he kept his appetite and still used his litter pan without issue. He still would nibble my hands like he always did. The day he passed, he didn’t. That’s when I knew things were bad.

I am thankful for the time I had with him. He just had such a sad story that I feel like I couldn’t do enough to make up for it.

I love you Chester. You are missed.
