Updates on all
Ida B. is hanging in. She is tolerating her e-collar, feedings, medications, and even the cage she spends (too much) time in. We’ve been giving her nightly “spa treatments” where we wipe down her drooly face and chin with a warm wet washcloth, brush her body since she can’t clean herself, and clean her e-collar… it gets unbelievably messy! We finally have a few very sweet volunteers who are coming to help us with her feedings. We still need lots of help paying her medical bills, so please consider donating. Any amount, no matter how small, truly does help.
In other news, we recently got two kittens, Crocus and Jonquil. 
These two cuties seemed fine at first, but suddenly, Crocus (the tabby) stopped eating. She was sneezing and not breathing easily. The kittens’ concerned foster mom called Tenth Life and we showed her how to syringe-feed Crocus until she (hopefully) began eating on her own. This was last Saturday. Monday rolled around and Crocus still was resisting food. So she and her sister were dropped off at the vet, where they are now receiving round-the-clock (read: expensive!) veterinary care. They’ve been severely dehydrated and running very high fevers. They get syringe-fed regularly, and even undergo nebulizing (they are placed in a little box that pumps in mist to help them breathe more easily). These poor kitties are still fighting for their health and need to turn the corner soon. It’s been a difficult road for them.
We at Tenth Life are very pleased to be helping cats who are so much a part of our mission of helping those who cannot be helped by the typical rescue. But the only way we are able to continue this mission is by getting help from our supporters. Please consider giving anything you can to help us pay for the much-needed care and treatment these kitties require. And if you cannot share your money at this time, please take a few minutes to share a link to this blog on your own blog, via email, or on Facebook or Twitter.
Thank you so much!
