Title: Sparky a very special little cat.. But we were unable to help you!
Post by: Canterbury_cats (Sharon) on January 03, 2009, 17:28:01 PM
Sparky is a 6yr (ish) black, SLH puss cat that has been through the wars. He has come to us as the current person looking after him (one of our nice fosters) is away for a few weeks. But he has come into us via an emergency plea.. Sparky was found a few months ago at the side of the rd and was taken in by a young couple with a few kids.. Sadly he was bullied and i think generaly their lives have got so busy and relationship problems that poor Sparky ended up in a shed and making a mess everywhere. He wasnt cruely treated but has been in the wars and no one taking in notice of him and the conditin he was in...

He was taken to out of our vets that we tend not to use as too expensive and a relation of the couple that had sparky paid for all his vet MOT so that he could find his way into our care..

He is severely underweight, had two old fratures that have healed up in a funny way and he walks with a limp and his leg is abit mishappen, has a few dodgy teeth, is covered in scraches and a few bites and has a very severe eye infection. He was FIV FELV tested and that came back with high PCB levels (whatever that is).. he is on antibotics and will need his teeth sorted, but his eye isnt good and i think even though on meds i will get him down the vets next week if no improvement. He is all bones, has a pot belly and still purrs and loves a cuddle even though he doesnt know us very well..

Good call on our fosterers here to alerting us to his plight and for the lovely relation who cared enough to pay for all his his vet treatment so far..

Lets hope he makes a full recovery and we find him a nice quiet home to call his own..

Thought i would update on Sparky.. he is still withus. He is an steriod cream for his eye and has had to have a few teeth out next week. Still underweight. The vet weighed him today and it was 2.85Kg so he needs some building up.. He remains a lovely little soul though and will hopefully be fixed up. Although he doesnt seem to be putting on weight, they will do bloods when his teeth are sorted.. I can feel his bones!He is going to another fosterer next week for some one to one attention.. and hopefully once all clear will sort out a loving home for him.. But a real sweetie

Sparky is now with one of our indoor fosterers and is due for a check up at the vets Friday! We notice his water intake can increased in the last few weeks so that will def need to be checked out.. Postive vibes for sweet Sparky if you can?

Its really difficult to go into huge details about poor Sparky.. But i have just heard he is holding his own and will be at the vets all weekend on fluids.. blood pressure has gone down.. We thought we may of lost Sparky yesterday.

We are not out of the woods yet.. but if  you want to help a puss in need then please think about him over the weekend...I will certaintly be thinking about him as i want to find him a loving home in the future to take care of him...

I have just heard that Sparky didnt make it. He went into renal failure and collapsed. He was PTS this morning..
Its very hard... and i got to know Sparky well and loved his character. I wish we had known about this sooner but it wasnt meant to me... All this problems came on so quickly.. still he had a few weeks with us, just a shame his past years may not of been so happy!
RIP Sparky!

i am so sorry to hear this, but he was one of the lucky ones who was found and given some time with love, good food and warmth, and then allowed to go peacefully and with dignity, and he will be very grateful for that. RIP little one.
