Felix came worse and worse. He still couldn't use his hind legs and these last 2 days he was covered in urine (with blood) because he couldn't hold it anymore. According to the vet he couldn't be cured and we had to make the most difficult decision..... A very sad day... Goodbye dear Felix. We'll never forget you... Our kitchen window will never be the same again... R.I.P. |

Filomena passed away last night. She was found in a colony on the 14th April 2013, skin and bones. She died of old age and at least she spent her last 4 months with us, in a loving home. Rest in peace Filomena. |

Another check-up for Felix.
The vet felt a lump and an ultra-sound was made, which showed he has a hematoma which is pressing on the intestines and on the nerves.
An operation would be too risky so we can only hope that it will come smaller by itself in the coming days....

Felix went to the vet again for a check-up.
He still can't use his hind legs but at least his intestines were better (less diarrhea) and he ate a bit...
He had the same injections and hopefully he will be a bit better tomorrow; on Thursday another check-up.
The vet told us that there is a good chance for recovery so we keep our fingers crossed!

Saturday night we noticed that Felix couldn't use his hind legs anymore!
We took him to the vet again and the X-rays were seen again...
Although his leg is not broken, the bone showed that he must have had a big blow (from a car?).
He had several injections, also for his (still) severe diarrhea.
It's so upsetting not knowing what happened and what's wrong with him!

a very busy week, as usual...
Bottle-feeding the kittens is a lot of work, besides taking care of all the others..., but at least they are healthy and good babies, they never cry and are already purring!
Several females were caught and neutered and we're taking very good care of them in our recovery.

Blue Eye is one of them.
A very young mother who had kittens in the beginning of May. We are very happy that she was caught and neutered because her little (handicapped) body wouldn't take another pregnancy. |

We didn't see Felix for 4 days, which was very worrying because although he's an outdoor-cat (he doesn't want to come inside), he's ALWAYS around, mostly sitting behind the kitchen window. We have been searching for him everywhere but there was no sign of him....
Friday evening he showed up all of a sudden but he was limping on his left hind leg. We managed to close him in a room and Saturday morning we took him to the vet. X-rays were taken which showed that his leg was not broken but he had enlarged lymph nodes and severe diarrhea. He had several injections and medication for the coming 7 days.

A tourist reported a sick kitten in a colony near a hotel in Mellieha.
We went to pick her up and she's in our care now. The lovely lady who reported her wants to adopt her so we're gonna arrange her vaccinations, pet passport etc. and when she's healthy we'll send her to the UK. We're looking for someone who can take her on a flight to Manchester....
