Mr. Orange is gonna be a Sphnyx for Halloween.

If you’re interested in the procedures we are using on him under our Vet’s care & guidance, listen to the video. Now that we have most of this off him, he is going to be getting a CBC and chemistry.

Update - we are pulling him off Clavamox and putting him on veriflox instead. He was also given Convenia on Sunday to prevent infection due to all the cracking.

We are getting somewhere!
His face is improving first. His tail is improving last. Tomorrow doctor Zoeya Jou and I will see what we can do about all this scabbing and fungal. We are hoping to get him to a point where he can be really comfortable.

Outdoor hospital update. Not to be confused with indoor Hospital! Outdoor hospital is mostly used for contagious situations like ringworm. If we take a cat we know nothing about then they will stay out here as well until we can clear them medically to come inside.

We are taking on a tremendous amount of work right now.  Five cats got TNRed from 3 different locations today. On our way to MHS, we learned of a bottle feed kitten that may have pneumonia, luckily Dr. Zoya was available at The Maui Lani vet today so we were able to bring this tiny kitten in 15 minutes after we got her. She’s now under watchful eye on medications. Kitty Charm Farm does not have a staff we are all Volunteer. Sarah is full-time, plus part-time assistance from a fantastic guy named Peter from Illinois, staying here for a bit and taking on the heavy lifting. 100% of your donations go to animal care and transfer costs (including associated items, such as gas for all the driving). If you’d like to donate, please go to the donation page on our website which will be linked in the first comment. Thx!

These 4 just arrived San Diego and they’re having a fabulous time running around in our Foster’s bathroom. Thank you, Kate! Cherie Crettol bottle fed all four of them. Alf & Val were found as 2 week old babies huddled underneath the Hanzawa’s refrigerator. Zippy was found in a driveway in Paia and the family called us for help, only a couple weeks old. Zora was found in Kahului by a senior man who tried to bottlefeed her for about 24 hours and then dropped her at MHS. We grabbed her and took over. Sadly, her sibling died within an hour of picking them up. Zora was named by our veterinarian because she has a mask on her face - black body with a brown face (see 1st comment for picture). This is called Fever Coat. It happens when the mom has a fever and is carrying babies. Unfortunately, it goes away - it is really adorable! Bottle feed Kittens sure are social. All 4 will be up for adoption at the world famous Helen Woodward Animal Center. 2 are fixed already and 2 they will fix for us. They understand how difficult it is to get appts on Maui and always help us find relief however they can.

If you’re not familiar with Helen Woodward, we highly recommend checking them out online. 12 acres of animal heaven! They have cats and dogs, but they also have goats, sheep, chinchillas, parrots, doves, lizards,, horses, human therapy programs — they are beyond belief. First time I went I had to walk around for about 30 minutes just to find the building I was going to. A beautiful farm-like property. And best of all – indoor only homes are required for cats. Merci!

Val keeps running into the glass door, hasn't figured "transparent" out yet.

UPDATE: all 4 are at Helen Woodward Animal Center

Today we did a huge Vet Clinic. Started for me at 6 AM and didn’t finish until 6 PM. We are shipping 21 cats and everybody needed check ups, blood testing, last-minute vaccines (state of Colorado requires vaccinations immediately before travel), rabies vaccinations, health certificates, etc.. in addition to the 21 cats we did another 4 as backups, putting us at 25.

Thank you to everybody who participated. A massive shout out to Amanda Funkhouser & Ute Finch with Kitty Maui who not only brought 6 ready to fly cats +4 backups,, but they were also first in & last out on this very long day- and also came all the way from Lahaina! These clinics require a tremendous amount of paperwork. We printed and filled out nearly 100 documents last night. While Dr. Hellsen (love her!!) and I put the cats through rigorous testing today, Amanda and Ute scanned and uploaded every completed document for the airlines & the rescue group that is putting them up for adoption.

As always, much gratitude to Shelley Dunbar who developed the Denver Cat Company relationship - we sure love them as well! And to all of the different fosters who prepared the kitties to travel, thank you! (it never seems to properly tag u!) brought 4 kitties + drinks and food for everybody. Cherie Crettol has 6 cats flying! Tom & Bobbie Parr brought 2 absolutely gorgeous and very mellow calicos. And Susan Homer-Kissel & Susan Chai also brought 2 well adjusted gorgeous cats. Oh and Shelley‘s husband Andrew brought one fab Kitty as well. I think that’s everybody. I’m sorry if I’m missing anybody!

Did you know? We fly with our cats. We no longer fly them in cargo as the prices hiked to over $530 a carrier. The price is about 40% if we are with them and it’s safer for them as well. This Friday I’ll be up at 3 AM packing kitties for a 5 AM airport arrival. I’m excited to go to Denver with 21 cats! Bonus, I get to see my 92 year-old hospice mom in Santa Barbara on the way home. 🙂

It is not easy to get appointments. And it’s not easy to find homes. Nothing about rescue is easy. But people are still getting it done! Kitty Charm Farm is proud to work with individuals, fosters, and nonprofits who bust their b***y every day while remaining positive and helpful. Many of them don’t say a word about what they do, but they sure do a lot. As an example – Amanda Funkhouser is using her personal miles to fly me & all 21 cats! Talk about a team player. Many people and kitties are benefiting from her generosity.

It’s not easy, but we get it done together.
Stay on the sunny side, lots of good stuff happening over here!

Big Oliver is looking for a long-term foster/hospice home. The lump we removed from his neck, turned out to be cancer. It may or may not grow back but it can also show up in other places such as the lungs. For that reason, we don’t feel it’s right to put him up for adoption. If you have always wanted a cat, but can’t afford one, he’s the perfect cat for you! We cover all costs long-term including veterinary/etc.. We just want him to have a happy home for however many years or months he has.

If you have never seen ringworm under a woods lamp, this is what to look out for.
