It's been a crazy couple months and I'm so behind on my photoblog and blogging about our foster kittens. Sadly these guys came and went without my posting. So I'm doing so now. They have just gone up for adoption at the Humane Society (You may have to scroll a page or two to find them in the list) and I couldn't recommend a better pair. We got these guys at about 2.5 or 3 weeks old. They both weighed in at about 15 ozs. Tiny babies! Phoebe did just as she should and grew and was as healthy as a kitten should be. Nixie took a different route and we fought quite a bit to keep her alive. First it was just her body not absorbing her food which resulted in her losing weight. We tried everything and she just kind of yo-yoed around, but we kept going. Finally we found a system that worked and she started gaining and fast. Maybe too fast for her body development to keep up because one night as she was doing better she suddenly failed. We rushed her to the emergency room. I'll spare you all the gory messy details but the result was that she had to stay at the hospital for 20 hours on IV fluids and antibiotics and 18 hours oxygen. When we left her there we weren't sure we would ever see her again. We were pretty broken apart, but kept hoping she would pull through. And she did, like a champ! We brought her home the next evening and she was a thousand times better. Acting better and happier than she had in her life. She was over the hump and the vets were nothing but happy with how she was now. She was particularly hard to give up we had grown so attached through fighting for her life. Someone is in for a real treat when they adopt this little girl. She is pure kitten love!! I expect she will be adopted soon!!

Happy Kitten! - Nixie is home from the hospital and very happy. She is also acting so much better. This is finally a healthy kitten and she knows it. Her whole attitude is changed. Only the little shaved wrists still show the signs of the ordeal she has been through. I am so so so releaved we got her through this. - Photo by Rachel Lea Fox
