It’s our annual “how do I put up a tree with cats in the house” thread. Bonus- will this work for the dog content. Eventually this will end up as a video. But spoons on low means do what we can. So away we go. 1/

PSA- these kill cats. Period, full stop. Lily pollen is insanely toxic and will destroy their kidneys in 18 hours. If you have cats- THROW LILIES AWAY. Don’t keep ‘em on a shelf. Don’t say “oh they can’t get to them”. Don’t say “my cat never bothers flowers. 1/

Cats who survive have multi day stays at the emergency vet, and it’s expensive. There’s no promise they can save your cat. Again- MASSIVE FATAL CAT TOXIN.
Lilies bad. Thank you for coming to my TED talk 2/x

Hospice is a dance. There’s general guidelines, but you have to be able to adapt to your partner in the moment, then just move with it. Steggy wasn’t ready to go just yet, so I made a few tweaks to his palliative care and ended up with a happy, stable cat. He’s still dying.1/

Tonight I told Zipper he was safe, and would have a full tummy, and all the love and pets. If he decided it was time to go, that’s okay. If he wants to stay and try again tomorrow, that’s okay too. Then I gave him a kiss and tucked him back in.
Fingers crossed y’all

Okay, screw this. Joe would kick my ass for wallowing. Who wants happy? Announcing early- we are pleased tk I form the masses that Queso will be a permanent resident here at the Potat Provisioning Grounds. His name tag arrives tomorrow. Welcome Home Queso

Ike lost 175 soldiers to the Spanish Flu while he commanded Camp Colt. He quarantined the camp, restricted movement, and didn’t allow soldiers to eat in town or attend church services off post. His aggressive response to the outbreak prevented deaths.

And our last Zipper update- his injuries were too significant and he passed away in his sleep. He was safe, warm, and loved.

Well that went fast. Both babies passed within minutes of each other. I was expecting it. They had a really, really high trauma birth
Harvey and Heckin Chonker, safe voyage. You were loved

So if you have resources to do it, I recommend putting stuff into storage for a year. It’s really hard to make a clear assessment in the moment. A year gives you some time and distance to help blunt the impact. This was the approach with Dad’s stuff.

Update- he’s pink and off oxygen. And he ate. Apparently with gusto. The vet has no clue wtf happened. He’s there overnight and fingers crossed can come home tomorrow.
Jesus Christ, Max. Y’all, he was blue when we got to the vet. I just…dear god why are cats?

And just like that, he’s gone. Much loved, and a tiny life well lived.

As an animal rescuer- thank you. Seeing those videos unexpectedly is deeply traumatizing for those of us in the field. Animal rescue/veterinary medicine professionals have suicide rates comparable to first responders. Thank you again for not contributing to our stress.

Yuengling passsed away early this morning after a major seizure event. The clinic emergency team and I did everything ee could.
She was my cuddle buddy, and I’m going to miss her so much. She moved to snuggle into my neck and try to smother me while I’d read.

That moment where the foster cat goes from “I’m allowed on the bed?” To “OMG PET ME!”Raphael (who is a he) is settling in well. He’s in liver failure that may or may not be recoverable. He’s presumptive hospice. The game plan is simple- daily meds to help keep him comfortable 1/

Home, stoned, and guarding his precious kibbles. The vet took out three bladder stones, and a bunch of sediment. Hopefully he feels better.

Little Tamagotchi passed away due to extreme congenital issues. He was a happy boy for the three weeks he was here. He left with a full belly and surrounded by love

In my years of fostering Ive gotten 1 genuine “how the heck did this happen” miracle. That was almost 5 years ago. This week, I got my second. Hold on to your socks- y’all, LB’s chest somehow pushed back into normal alignment. He’s not going to need life threatening surgery 1/

Oh thank god. I finally got Possum past 230g, where he’s been ping ponging. AND there was form to his poop. Keep your paws crossed y’all.

Hot damn! Baby Cookie is trying to groom! This is awesome. Sick/dying cats of any age generally don’t groom. So grooming is one of the signs I keep a close eye on

He’s got a sunbeam and happy toes. We’ve scheduled his appointment for Thursday morning. Today we nap, tomorrow, shenanigans. And yeah, I’m still a mess

First look- welcome baby Zipper! He’s got 2-3 wounds around his head and face area, and he’s violently displeased at his current living arraignments. His condition for now is guarded. It’s a day at a time and we see what happens.

A healthy kitten gains 10-20g a day. Queso came to me at 237g last week. We’ve had to fight and scrape for every gram. Since Sunday, he’s stopped gaining and was hovering or losing. Today- he’s gained AND HELD 9g. Atta boy Potat.

This is big Potat Cookies and Creme! (CookieMonster for short) possibly CookieWookie. It’s a work in progress. She’s got a single puncture wound to the top of her head, with some swelling around the left eye/side of head. She’s in good physical shape overall. Fingers crossed.

Y’all, mission accomplished. We have consistent, solid poop, which means Fergie gets to move to the next stage in her foster journey! She’ll be moving in with a buddy in the next day or so.
As always, we couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you.

To my shock, and delight- not dead. He looks terrible, and a lot is still stacked against him. But I’ll take it.
Poop moved from yellow to green yellow. Which is a reasonable color. Keep prayers etc coming

We welcome VERY tiny Potat Rambunctious to the Potat Proving Ground. Tiny princess is 3 days old, and premature. She’s starting off with us at 71g. Normal weight range at this point would be over 100g.

Everyone please keep fingers and toes crossed. We have about 24 hours more to go. The electric grid is so fragile right now that there’s a non zero risk that Texas could lose power generation for months. That’s not a typo.

It’s that time again- baby kittens are arriving and we’re adding to the supply stock. In addition to the Amazon list, we’d like to get some additional gear including Miracle Nipples in in 10 packs (approx $40), and a part to add to the incubator ($10) 1/

PeePee passed without assistance. For a range of reasons I’m beyond wiped out and on foster hiatus through the weekend. I may be tired and short tempered. Your patience is appreciated.
This is partially a long COVID/hot weather hitting my area issue. I feel awful.
