hello ladies and gents. just wanted to share a little piece of heaven with you.
So Im in my bathroom on Saturday night getting ready to head up to San Francisco. In the middle of applying way too much mascara I heard this little squeaking noise. It was coming from outside and almost sounded like a little kitten. I hear my neighbors chatting away outside and still hear this meowing. tiny little meowing. In my eyes, there is no way they did not her this. But before I could even get downstairs I saw my them leave in they're mini van happily on they're way to the beach. So I started to second guess what I heard.
But then I looked in the gutter and saw the most precious little bean of a kitten. It was tiny...FREAKING TINY! And my jerk ass neighbors left her there!!!! So I decided to go see if it was ok. But I knew that it was much too little to be out on its own. when I got really close I started to get sad. I saw that both eyes were crusted completely shut as well as both nostrils. It was just walking feeling its way around. it was shivering, shaking like a leaf. I ran in the house and grabbed a towel to wrap it in. instantly fell asleep. Poor wee soul.
I drove to petco because it was too late to take it to any humane society or dumb friends league. I went in and the lady said it was about 3 weeks old and was probably abandoned by her mother. The we saw that there were only 3 legs. I hadnt even noticed that. This precious little thing had a nub for a back leg. *sigh* how deep is my love now you ask? I want this little scrapper forever!
So she tells me that this kitten is VERY malnourished and NEEDS to be taken care of. So I bought kitten formula, a kitty carrier, flea shampoo for puppies and kitties, flea comb and a bottle.
I gave her a bath, pulled over 90-100 fleas off this poor thing. wiped all those crusties away. Even though her eyes still remained closed. I tried feeding her...but she wasn't having it. She was just exhausted...So I wrapped her up like a little burrito and put her in her crate. She slept like an angel.
The next morning she ate 2 ounces. Then another ounce that evening. Today I took her to the vet and they confirmed that it was a little boy. He has a respiratory infection and both eyes are infected as well. In fact...the vet thinks that the left one may be no good. The right one is fully open and beautiful...but the other is not. When he tried to open it the eyelids were stuck together. Then he noticed a dent by that eye. He think something or someone hit him in the head causing the eye not to work. It might have to be removed. But the vet assured me that I can bring him back to health myself. And of course I am keeping him away from my animals. What he has is airborne and highly contagious. Don't want Buffy and Frank to get sickypoo. I keep him in the garage which rocks because it's nice and toasty for him.
Today he ate 2 ounces in the morning again. One in the afternoon and half of one before his bed time. I've been giving him the amoxicillin and eye drops the vet gave me. you wouldn't believe the difference. He's doing so much better. He's my little diamond in the rough...
And because he has no eye and a knub leg I'm going to call him Captain. Cause he's a mutha fuckin' pirate.
He's a little scrappy...but just remember what he's been through. But thats all in the past...the only thing he'll be getting now is LOVE! you can say "hi" to him here.
gimme some more pirate names.
