Kitten stepped on!!!!

Teresa, I've kind of avoided coming to this thread since I first read it as I was really, really worried that it was curtains for poor Frankie and I was so feeling the pain of your family about what happened.

But - I've ventured back in, and I'm SOOOOOO glad I did!!!

Frankie is the sweetest, cutest, cuddliest most adorable little persian fella I've ever seen (I have 2 persians and they just melt my heart every time I look at them).

Thank you so much for caring for little Frankie so deeply and making his life worth living.

Teresa- I hope you are able to get some much-needed sleep soon! That is so good to hear about Frankie- what a courageous kitty!

Frankie is now walking over to the food dish to eat. He will "ask" for food and wait for me to bring it. He still isn't playing yet, but he is "tracking" sounds (looking toward what he hears.)I sit him in the litter box, he isn't scratching or using it yet, but he still has time to heal yet.
It is going to be so hard to find him the right furever home. I just can't keep him as I have so many right now!
Keep those vibes coming as they have helped so very much!

THANK YOU for all your support and encouragment! I could not have done this without you!

Oh, I wish I could have Frankie. He's such a little miracle! But, my kitties are devious and would probably take advantage of his blindness!

How's Frankie doing this lovely weekend?

Frankie is doing well, he can find the food on his own by smell alone. He still won't eat the dry, but we are hoping that will change. He also isn't using the llitter box yet and we are praying he will also improve in that area too. If we can find him a furever home he will go with his cozy crate. It is a tent with a zippered door that is large enough for a litter box, bed and food dishes. This way hehas a familuar home in his new home.

Frankie walked in a straight line to me when I called him today. He followed his sisters path when she walked between us. I'm hoping he saw her and wasn't just smelling her. He seems to hold his head up more, so maybe he is seeing shadows? He is cleaning himself more too! I just wuv him to pieces!!!

I'm so excited to hear that news! I bet you end up keeping that little baby, huh? He can only improve, so that's wonderful news every time you post. Please keep us all updated. Lots of us on the board are following Frankie's story!

YAY FRANKIE!!!!!



That is excellent news!!!!

That is just wonderful Teresa! Go Frankie!!!

Go Frankie!

Yahoo!! I've been away for a week and kept wondering how things were.

Great news continues for Frankie the Fighter!

Yippee!!

Anything new happening with Frankie?

Frankie was well enough to get his first shots yesterday and he and his siblings were microchipped as well. They were not happy All are healthy and eating well.

Frankie is finally gaining weight. He is over 10oz now and his siblings are a pound plus. We are keeping him in a tent in the front room so he feels included. His skull has closed and the soft spot and gap are closing normally.

We won't be able to keep him when he has grown and will be giving him to a good home at no cost. He gets to keep his bed, tent, dishes ect so he is still in familuar surroundings.

Such good news Teresa. You have been such a wonderful mum to this little guy and he's getting so much better for it. Do you have any more pics of him to show us? I'm a sucker for pictures! LOL

Go Frankie, go Frankie, go Frankie!

I understand you're finding him a permanent home, but...I gotta be honest with you...after all that you and Frankie have been through together, I wouldn't have the strength to go ahead with it. It seems to me that circumstances such as yours create some sort of special bond.

Like I said, I'm not trying to make you feel bad. I completely understand why. You just happen to be a helluva lot braver and stronger than I.

Great to hear about his head healing! Any further indications if his vision is clearing at all?

Way to go, Teresa! Thanks for the update!
