Hey guys,

Mackerel's been sick lately- she had ARF and then severe anaemia. Unknown cause. She was sent home with me last week to die, basically, after spending a few weeks in the vet hospital, but she's made a startling recovery. I took her back to the vet today for another check up, and one of the things the vet said that I should do is to give her some raw meat. I picked up some lamb and gave some to her a little while ago and she LOVED IT. Haha. But she wouldn't eat it unless I gave her the little pieces of lamb, one by one by one by one. XD She wants to be hand fed today. I thought it was hilarious, so I snapped some photos and figured I would share. XD



This photo also shows how thin she is and where she was shaved for the IVs - both forearms and her neck.
But she HAS put on a little weight, and hopefully this will help. :-)



Telling me how much she enjoyed that tasty morsel of lamb, and how she'd love another piece. XD



Letting me know that, she's serious, she really really wants some more. Haha. Look at the intensity!

Poor little baby girl, she is so skinny! I'm sure she will plump up again soon with your love and your hand-feeding.
You can just see how grateful she is that you didn't give up on her! Little sweetheart...

Oh Mack... You eat lots and lots of that raw meat and grow very strong for your mommy, ok?

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
ALL OF THE ABOVE!


That she's so skinny just rips away at the heart - but her EYES just sparkle with love and life, and she's got SUCH a wonderful meowmy - so many reasons to fight and live!!!!!


Even so sick, she's just DARLING!

Keep going, little Mackerel, mommy needs you and you have "get well" support and vibes from around the world encouraging you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
