Homeless to Loved

The third Sunday in August is International Homeless Animals' Day.

Learn more at International Society for Animal Rights website here.

"This worldwide effort is aimed at halting the euthanasia and suffering of unwanted companion animals."

A few thoughts, and I know that I'm talking to like-minded folks:

 -If you feed them, fix them.

-If you adopt, be aware that you are making a multi-year commitment, which includes food, shelter, and veterinary services.

-There is no pressure on anyone to have pets; if your lifestyle doesn't support the care that a pet needs, then visit a cat cafe' or rescue once in awhile.

-Roll up your sleeves and volunteer.

-Donate!

-We cannot adopt our way out of the overpopulation.

-Puppy and kitten mills must be eliminated.

We sadly bid farewell to Seal from Brian's Home Blog.

Those gorgeous eyes, and her lovely fur colors will live furever in my heart.

Poor Simon, as Seal was his sisfur.

Hugs and purrs.

Please consider a kind comment; link is above.

Thinking of Jackie

 August 15 was Jackie Avery's birthday, until she earned her angels wings earlier this year.

Her blog about Eric and Flynn was terrific, and all three are sorely missed.

Purrs for Ivor.

Therefore, for Caturday, I swiped an image from March, 2009 of those two container-loving gingers, artified it on Prisma, Star filter.

Click on the image to enjoy a jigsaw puzzle.

Wild Times in Henryville

 It's high time we had a Formerly Feral Friday, starring Henry The Ninth.

Yes, that's ME he's draped across!

What can I say; I'm squishy enough to be a terrific human cat bed.

Again, he's sitting on my torso, but I cropped myself out.

Foo foo in the air, like he just don't care!

His belly fur has grown in nicely.

Henry has been doing well, until I mentioned to the vet that he's still got loose poop.

Dr. Vani suggested a liver support med, since his last tests showed he needed help there.

The trick is that this new med made him NOT EAT!

Henry not eating is what got us here, so we stopped that med.

Will walk through everything when we attend Monday's vet appointment.

AND...

The food that Henry was eating up nicely is now NO LONGER AVAILABLE where I've been purchasing it.

We picked up what I thought was a good replacement, and have mixed a bit into the last packages of his 'old' food, but he doesn't seem to like it.

Damn and drat!

It's possible to purchase the food online, in a different package size, and for twice the cost, and we may have to go this route.

Despite all of this song-and-dance, Henry is being cute, snuggly, and has chomped through another catnip ball.

If I felt that anything we've done severely lowers Henry's quality of life, I'd modify or stop it.

While he doesn't enjoy getting his pills twice a day, he's used to it now, and I get it done quickly, with copious amount of smooches.

List of Henry's medicines:

Proviable Fiber Supplement: 1/8 teaspoon twice a day.

Proviable Forte capsule: one a day

Amoxicillin antibiotic: twice a day

Metronidazole antibiotic: twice a day

Denamarin Advanced Liver support capsule: one a day (on hold)

Mirtazapine appetite stimulant: one a day

Cerenia anti-nausea: one a day

Prednisolone steroid: one a day

Cobalequin B12 capsule: one a day

Chemo: every two weeks, five capsules remain

The two antibiotics for his liver run out tomorrow: "use until gone".

Monday's blood tests should give us some answers.

Feral to spoiled, and we love The H Man ❤️
