Happy 5th birthday Lyle🎉 He’s my miracle kitty who survived despite his bio mom rejecting the whole litter. Of course Lyle is spoiled every day, as all kitties should be!

For GiveBIG this year, we would like to highlight a few of the nonprofits we’ve supported over the past year and a half with our grant program.

Homeless Animals Rescue Team (H.A.R.T.) is an organization my late mom Geri loved. H.A.R.T. helps kitties through trap/ neuter/ return in the community and by finding homes for abandoned felines. Items on their wishlist included an air conditioner and tall kennels for their foster space, which is an attached garage. By funding these purchases, we helped create a safe and comfortable environment that will benefit many kitties for years to come.
If you’re in Washington state, please GiveBIG for kitties from now until May 5th😸

David saw a dermatologist/ ear specialist this week for his chronic condition in his right ear. Past veterinarians have treated his ear with medications but our savvy feline only doctor referred us to a board certified specialist with super high powered scopes. She was able to see a mass in David’s ear that is continuously inflamed and oozing. Fortunately she doesn’t think it’s squamous cell cancer, as that is the nastiest cancer (and what took my beloved Paddy, Bunny, Rosemary and probably Lottie).

Next week David will have blood work and a chest X-ray, just to make sure he has no masses in his lungs. Then we will get scheduled for the surgery with the specialist. A CT scan beforehand is an option but would require additional sedation. I’m leaning against it because the surgeon can’t access the ear past the bony ridge anyway, so we have to hope the mass “pops off” cleanly at the stem. Then if it does grow back it should be quite slow. David is so tired of having his ear flushed and medicated, so after this surgery he should be comfortable for quite a while.

The feline veterinarian recently did Sasha’s second dental and Sasha is so much happier. (I’m happy we have a doctor who is great with all kinds of kitties.) Also, Bramwell had his final check up with the dental specialist yesterday and all is well with him!
