This morning Nibbles and Dibbles are headed to Oregon State University to get evaluated for their twisted legs and Manx syndrome. We are hopeful that Dr. Warnock can help them. She fixed both Tigger (my cat) and Sonnet and Haiku ( ). Speaking of Shelby she’s taking them down for me this morning since I’m tied up with my own health care. The best part is the got a grant to cover all their expenses 😊

I was hesitant to share this, but it felt unfair to Tibbles’ memory to leave her story untold. Tibbles was a sweet Manx kitten with normal legs but was born with a severe congenital condition called a rectovaginal fistula with atresia ani. This meant she had no normal a**l opening, and her stool passed through her vulvar region instead. She also leaked urine constantly, and although I could keep her clean with regular baths, it became clear that her quality of life was not what any kitten deserves. With the help of my friend Shelby, we made the compassionate decision to let her go peacefully.

Her story is an important reminder of why spaying and neutering truly matters. Conditions like hers can often be prevented through responsible care and the reduction of accidental litters. Tibbles was deeply loved for every moment she was here.

More kitten washing and loving that I can put them in the dryer and move on to the next one.

I got a mom and 6 kittens! They are all very poopy because they have coccidia! They’ve had 3 days of treatment so far but so many baths and kennel clean ups right now.

Odin was meant to come into my life right when he did. He saved my heart during a miscarriage, cuddled with me while I was miserable with hyperemesis gravidarum for 9 months while pregnant with Lyra and now he’s her best friend. She may call him Floyd right now but looking at these memories makes me smile so big.

Another kitten and another bath.

Gotta clean between her little twisted legs and toes. This is an every other day occurrence. She’s pretty malformed, not just her back legs, but her spine as well. Waiting on the specialist to see what is best for her.

Hello everybody.

This is how she likes to eat. A fed baby is a happy baby.

Took the crooked leg family into the clinic to start the work up and figure out what we can do to help them.
