  • Spicette at the vet…

    Spicette at the vet…

    She’s got a cough too. ❤️‍🩹

    Though as she and Ranga don’t hang out together, her cough might have a different cause. 🤷

    But she gets the same thorough routine…

    Checks all over and medication to combat the most likely culprits.

    Thank you Heartlands Veterinary Hospitals for your expert low stress handling techniques!

    🙌

    She doesn’t have a fever and is still eating and active, which is good.

    But medication is required to clear up the congestion, which is most likely caused by a cat flu.

    Spicette is (as her name suggests 😄) quite a spicy lass.

    Which is why she’s still a foster, even though all her siblings were adopted last year.

    We’ve raised $30 of the $70 vet fundraiser

    (thank you!! 😽)

    The reason we fundraise for vet expenses is because our weekly costs of food, litter and other cat related items is quite a hefty burden.

    So every dollar helps! 👍

    Spicette also needs a sponsor to help us get her vet work done (spay, vaccination and microchip) when her cough is gone.

    If you’d like to Sponsor a Speuter for a less adoptable cat, please get in touch! 🙏

    And #PleaseShare…

    There may be someone in your network who would like to adopt a skittish lass 😍

  • Ranga at the vet on Thursday…

    Ranga at the vet on Thursday…

    Ranga at the vet on Thursday…

    That cough he had last year came back again…

    At around the same time this year. 🤔

    Not surprising really… It’s cat flu season unfortunately 😬

    So once again we’re on flu patrol…

    Keeping a lookout for the sneezes, watery eyes, coughs and other symptoms.

    Ranga is a bit of a ‘special case’ though.

    A master ‘funky cat’ 😆

    He has a personality too big to fit in his body.

    So he’s always on the move, always ‘talking’ when he doesn’t get enough attention.

    And by talking, I mean YOWLING! 🙉

    Plus he eats like there’s no tomorrow.

    🥴

    Which means that sometimes he also coughs after gulping down his food.

    So we started using a slow feeder last year, which does (somewhat) slow him down.

    Apart from the cough and some sneezes, his lungs sound fine, which is great news. 👌

    He’s been prescribed Fenbendazole (to ensure he doesn’t have lungworm) and Doxycycline (an antibiotic to deal with the secondary respiratory infection).

    Thank you Heartlands Veterinary Hospitals 🫶

    Ranga absolutely LOVED his vet visit!!

    We’re hoping to fundraise $70 to assist with the costs of Ranga (and 2 other fosters who were also at the vet for coughs on Thursday).

    If you can help, we’d really appreciate it!

    And if you are looking for a super affectionate and active cat that HATES other cats (and doesn’t much like dogs either 🤨) then please get in touch! 🙏

    Ranga is our barn cat at the moment, so if you have a large workshop, stable or shed and are able to spend time with Ranga regularly, then he may be the perfect cat for you! 🤩

    He does require a quality wet food diet and may need a veterinary checkup every year (which is a good idea for any cat).

    But other than that, he’s low maintenance really.

    And has a LOT of love to give! 🤗

    Snugglepot isn’t as snarky now 👏

    And Cuddlepie is gaining confidence 🤗

    They both need more time to adjust to being ‘peopled’.

    But are progressing very well.

    I’m not sure if they are bonded? 🤔 but if they are, then they’ll need to be adopted together.

  • Pouch Patrol… 🦘

    Pouch Patrol… 🦘

    On the way home from a family get together we spotted a roadside roo with no spray paint or fluro tape.

    So we pulled over, carefully reversed and checked out the situation.

    Poor roo would have passed immediately from the severe head injury, which is a blessing really. 😔

    Colin thoroughly checked deep inside the pouch, but it was empty.

    So he tied tape on to let others know this roo has been checked for a joey.

    We still haven’t bought any spray paint yet (sorry Janey! 😬).

    Then we did a walk around in case a mobile joey had left the pouch and was in the local area.

    Nothing to be seen though, so we continued on home.

    #CheckPouches!

    ** Always be super careful when stopped on the side of a busy highway though! ⚠️

    Next stage for the Bin Babies… 🗑️

    Skip and Scraps, Tidbits and Baggins.

    We took them to SAVA – Saving Avon Valley Animals in Northam last night.

    It was a tad hard saying goodbye to these sweeties. 🥹

    And they were feeling rather unsure of what was going on. 😳

    But goodbye is the goal of fostering, right?

    🫶

    Soon they’ll be booked in for vet work and ready for homes! 🤗

    Some very, VERY lucky homes!

    Sorry about the bad nighttime pics 😬 (I did have fun with the functions in the Peachy photo app though lol).
