...and her health problems!
Lola is a feral/stray that my neighbor caught & kept in a crate in her garage. There were two, then 6. Her dog opened a crate & killed one of the cats, so she is trying to find others to care for them. I took in Lola because she melted my heart. Here is her picture.
Does she remind you of someone?
Let's see if this picture makes you think of who!
Lola is a white cat with blue eyes who is deaf. She is approximately 3 years old(the same age as Twitch
). She is rather small for her age. She has had her rabies shot, distemper shot, & has been checked out by a vet. She developed the kitty flu a week ago. She got better, but since coming to my house this morning, she has begun sneezing again, possibly due to stress. She has boogers around her eyes now, too. Twitch has the boogers around her eyes, but that is being treated. Twitch & Lily are not allowed near Lola & Lola isn't allowed near them. She is in a kitty carrier on top of the dog crate. Her carrier is completely covered when I am not around to ensure my kitties don't have contact with her. I have several questions.
How can I disenfect the carrier she is in?
What can I use for a litter pan in a tiny carrier?
Why is she sick again?
What could she be sick with?
How can I convince mom & dad to let me have another cat?
Of course, they all go with me when I get an apartment. Mom & dad don't like the litter & the smell of pets in the house. They don't want our house to smell like Humane Society.
What do I do with her this weekend when we are gone? The vet clinic where I am boarding everyone else is full. The other places to board are 20 mintues in the other direction from my house(which would be 40 minutes away from where we are boarding everyone else
). I am looking into seeing if another neighbor can keep her.
Do I take her to the humane society if I can't keep her? If I can't keep her & don't take her to the HS, she will have to be an outside cat. Being deaf, that is a death sentence. Is there another option I am missing?
I personally can attest to the bond between a deaf cat & it's owner. I cannot believe what a wonderufl comapnion Twitch is. If she wasn't deaf, I do not believe that we would have the same bond we have now.
Wish me luck with Lola! She is quite the little sweetheart!
