Everyone, you guys have brought tears to my eyes, thinking of your wonderful offers of help... just people who would like to help that dont even know us.. its so special....
thank you.
thank you.
Like we all said it is like family here and family helps out sometimes just moral but sometimes financially even if it is only a dollar...We try to get the best done...
Hissy you are a wonderful person!!
I am in between jobs but I could offer $20. I know it isn't much, but I know every little bit helps. I love animals so much and would love to do something to help little Willow out anyway I can.

I could never ask you guys to donate money to me, its... i dont feel right, you all have lives and problems and bills and families that you need to consintrate on. i feel terrible and awed that everyone would even consider offering money to us.. i cant ask that of you.
It's not about you, it's about Willow. We all might have bills and things, but we have some money to spare and we all want to help. It appears this is the only way little Willow will get the prompt care she needs. This isn't about making you feel guilty. This is about animal lovers that want to desperately help Willow.

I know its not about me.. i still feel like im.. begging, can you understand that?
You never begged. Someone more experienced noticed little Willow's eyes and noticed something wrong. No one would have offered to help if they didn't truly want to. You are truly blessed to have found these forums and so many people eager to help Willow. Willow really needs help.

Willow update here. She is using my husband as a scratching pad ( better then a litter box like this morning) and shes enjoing some cuddle time with him. ( he is mostly protecting her from our monster.
Shes doing well today. Shes actually giving herself a bath today
usualy Taz does that, but today shes doing it on her own. Because its so hot ive started giving her a teaspoon of water in between feedings. so she now gets a teaspoon of watered down kmr every 3-4 hours and a teaspoon of water in between each feeding. I want to make sure shes as well hydrated as her siblings.
Fantastic News
Willow drank some KMR outta a plate instead of a syrnge. Well a bit anyway. By the time i got her a refill she was done eating it and wanted to go to sleep. But its something!!!

Silvermoonmyst, please don't feel bad about the donations, sometimes vets bills come along at the worse time
but now Willow should be able to get a check up at the vets without you worrying financially.
Good to see some more pictures of her

Is it just me, or does Willow look better today? I think she looks a little more "with it"..

She looks a little better. (TYG) She really needs to eat more and I hope she does.
Yes- please accept the help and have the kitten thoroughly examined.
Just because she is acting better is no clear sign that she is better.
Animals will always attempt to disguise and hide their pain to the very best of their ability simply because nature is not kind to illl or injured animals.
They have a singular ability to compartmentalize pain in order to ignore it and continue to look as if they are fine.
She could be putting on a very brave front and still be in excruciating pain.

Way to go Willow.......
Wow, she does look a bit better. Still has that "look" in her eyes, but not as bad as it was before. Slowly but surely, she seems to be making progress, and hopefully with the impending vet visit she'll make even more progress.
I agree, she looks SOOO much better than before.
Silvermoon, accept the help for the vet visit. I too have come across some financial difficulties lately, and have problems accepting help from people who are willing to give, but in this case, Willow absolutely needs the professional care. Cats are masters of disguising illness and injury, and I'm afraid Willow is no exception. Don't feel bad about it. People here care about Willow, and they care about you...don't let pride get in the way of allowing people to help you do the right thing for your little girl. I know it's hard, and it doesn't feel good in your heart, but the relief you will experience after the vet visit (even if there is something very wrong with Willow) will ease any feelings of guilt...you can rest easier knowing that you have done all you can do!
Anyway, Willow is a sweetheart, and you're doing a great job. It is so apparent to all of us how much you love and care for your pets. Just take that extra step, and accept the help, and know that people here want what's best for your kitties too. Keep up the good work!

Don't feel bad, you didn't mean to do it. That's not even 1/10th as bad as what happended to my Gramma's kitten about 20 years ago. The little kitten was sitting on her shoulder as she was doing the dishes. When she flipped on the switch for the garbage disposal, it startled the poor thing. It jumped, and landed right down the garbage disposal drain. Talk about horrific.
