Rayne

What a stressful day yesterday was.  As you know,  Rayne took a turn for the worse and the sad decision was made to send her back to her maker.  She gave me a kiss and a head bonk and I held her.  She was a super sweet gentle lady who had been with us from the early days.

Goodbye Sweet girl!  You touched our hearts and we will always remember you!

Autumn

As you know we are going to be doing cancer treatment on Autumn.  

Autumn Open house 1/11/2014

I have received some very negative comments from some on Facebook.   

So let me explain again the what and why :)

Autumn just turned 3 years old.  She is FELV NEGATIVE,  she has nasal cancer.  If the cancer is localized and has not spread,  she has a very good chance of a cure.   Right now we have no reason to think that it has spread, but a sonogram will be done on Monday of her abdominal areas.    We are not doing holistic herbs etc because there is no proof that it will give her the help she needs.  We are going to go with conventional treatment of radiation.  She will also get chemo is it has spread.  The treatment will cost $7-8,000.  That does NOT include the $2,000 we spent on her cat scan etc to find the cancer.

The doctors that will be taken care of her are in Raleigh and are considered some of the best animal oncologist in the state.   We are so blessed to have a supporter like Bill.  She will be staying with Barebaron for the next 3 weeks and he will be taking her every day for her treatment.   (He lives approx 15 minutes away)   Maybe we can get him to Skype in with her occasionally so we can see how she is doing.

We have raised $5891. of the money we need for her treatment.  If you would like to donate you can find the link on her page   http://blindcatrescue.com/autumn.htm    

I can not find the words that feel adequate to tell you how grateful I am to everyone for their amazing generosity!  Your kindness has kept me in tears :)  (good tears)
