After Jet (avatar) passed, I was in no hurry to adopt another cat. His loss continues to be very painful. However, I foster cats for a local shelter and one in particular was having problems getting over some sort of respiratory infection. She had been on three medications from the shelter vets with no improvement. I finally took her to my own vet, and a medication they provided is doing the trick. Thank goodness!
KitKat is deaf, blind in one eye, and has permanent damage to her nasal cavity due to the infection. Plus, she is a black cat, and they are least likely to be adopted. Since she fits in so nicely with my furry family and since the shelter she is from is not no-kill, I have welcomed KitKat as a permanent resident.
Sorry for the poor cell phone picture.
