]....and she is hiding under a cabinet in the bathroom.
I went to the vet's last week to buy Oxbow and they had a sign up abouta cat they were treating. Kitty was found almost dead by astaff person at their other clinic. She had been shot so manytimes the side of her head and neck had split open.
After four surgeries, much treatment over 4 months and manyantibiotics, she was healed and in need of a home. As soon asI saw the picture, I knew this cat was for us so I called the staffperson at the other vet clinic.
It's a small world because the person I talked too turns out to besomeone I know. Her name is Genevive and she is also avolunteer at Stay-A-While Shelter. I couldn't believe it whenI heard her name. Gen rescued this almost dead cat and tookher to Dr. Hammond's Euclid clinic for her 4 surgeries andtreatment. A friend of Gen's was fostering her until a homecould be found. Dr. Hammond also does some rescue and adoptscats out of his clinic.
Today we drove over an hour to go visit and adopt kitty. Hername, at the moment is Bee Bee and she is a one year oldcalico. The poor tiny thing has had a terriblelife. She is people friendly but timid. My catsdon't pay much attention to new kitties - it's kind of like 'hi kitty'and they keep on going. Our cats are so used to strangersthat a new cat does not bother them, there is no fighting orintimidation.
Any way, Bee Bee's new name will be Maneki Neko, Neko forshort. Maneki Neko is the tri-color good luck kitty inJapan. I hope to have some before, during and after surgerypictures to post soon. Neko is extra special to us since werecently lost our 16 year old Cookie cat. Cookie had bonemarrow cancer which was not treatable. She was also acalico. Please welcome our new cat family member.
