Friday News for Friday Sads
HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!
So I know I have missing for over a week. The news from my castle is troubling and sad. Let me tell the troubling—
Mom L is having surgery on Monday to repair her prosthetic knee on her right leg. It has been buckling under her for months. This has caused her to have several hazardous falls onto cement floors, hard wood floors and down one flight of our stairs. All this caused recurring trauma to her right ankle to the point she can barely walk without a cane.
We hope the knee repair will stabilize her leg so that her footsie doc can help her heal her right ankle so she can get back to her gym routine. So Mom L will not be able to help me keep my blog post going for about two to three weeks.
We have also been finding more dumped kittens, weighing only one to two pounds each at our city park colony where our Delta View Cats nonprofit feeds a small colony. These kittens come to Mom L and Dad P to find solutions to what happens to them. Our county animal services will not intake them and guarantee an adoption path. The county shelter has adopted the “Capacity for Care” cat sheltering protocols and either do not intake friendly adults/kittens or if they do, they will euthanize them rather than try to find a foster for them.
So far, we have had eight pass through my castle over the last three weeks. They spend decompression time here and then Mom L moves them on to fosters with our partners at Community Concern For Cats.
I promise to share photos once Mom L is back at our laptop. Now Mom L will tell the “SADS” in my castle—
Mom L here—please forgive Savannah for not being around for a while. She explained my physical health challenges. However, this week, our family took on a blow that almost crippled Dad P and me.
Our precious, soft, snuggly Sage aka TKS, has terminal large cell lymphoma. If she can tolerate the chemotherapy she may have four months. If she cannot, then maybe four weeks.
Dad P and I are simply gutted! Dumbstruck! We know sweet Savannah aka Nana has been in our hospice care for almost two years. We never dreamed we will lose eleven year old Sagie first. I cannot say more. I will tell more some time later.
Please forgive Savannah for going missing for a few weeks. We both hope we can be back once I can sit and write on the laptop.
Send comforting purrs to our beloved Sagie. We know she cannot be healed. And rest assured, Peter and I will not allow Sagie to suffer, not for one moment.
