These poor, poor cats were never given a chance to be healthy or happy! MA says she knew she was in trouble when Samson (a beautiful white kitty!) started banging his head against the wall - in fact, against anything and everything. 
He was at the vet for a 2 1/2 hours - he had a third eyelid flip performed. The vet suspects it's cancer (can't find another explanation for the mass), but wants his eye to rest for two weeks before the surgery is performed to remove his eye and both ear flaps.
He had a drain put in his forehead (and his eye stitched closed). He's got a soft e-collar on to prevent Sam from messing with the drain.
Samson isn't suffering now that he's got his "surgical eye patch" and the drain! He's playing, eating, drinking - and loving.
The only one suffering is MA, because she's still dealing with Shell's bills, and Samson's procedure isn't going to be free.
Samson can use your prayers, your vibes, and/or your help, if you can... There's a ChipIn set up on MA's blog http://www.feralcatbehavior.com/
sweet Samson!

sweet Samson!
to her for sure. That just sounds so painful for Samson to have this eye issue and bless MA for, again, taking on this "mission" to save this boy. I sure will pray and hope for Samson and Ma too. Will go to the blog and thanks for the link
. I feel very, very forlorn for those cats in Shell's colony. Ma, my heart goes out to you today and just seeing Samson sparked something deep in my heart
. I can only begin to imagine the toll this has taken on your soul. 
RIP Sweet Samson 
to hear of this news about Samson. My Lord, you have been dealing with so much loss with this colony of cats. Just lots of prayers to you for the love and care you gave Samson and the other cats you try to save.
