Title: New arrival with timely reminder
Post by: Teresa Pawcats on April 13, 2007, 19:13:01 PM
Just taken this poor girl in and from the looks of things her ear is cancerous and will need surgery.Thought it would be a good idea to remind everyone to apply sunblock to any cat with white ear tips now the warmer weather is here.Too late for this little one (No name yet) but it may help to save others going through such an ordeal.

You'll be able to get her sorted, though, Teresa?

Another one for the Gourmet Pearl - and she looks like an Anastasia to me!

She looks like a Gem

Our old Moose lost an ear to skin cancer and played this to his best advantage for treats he would turn his head to the no ear side!

I know she will now have the best of care and lots of love :Luv:

Anastasia she is  :thanks: for coming up with such a lovely name.

No, I didn't, she told me through the internet - it's her ineffable name (for those who love T S Eliot)

 :Luv:

Aww, she is lovely - and cats dont just need suncream on ears, white noses are susceptible too, and it is harder to deal with when it affects their nose than their ears. How old does the vet think she is T?

Ah Anastacia is gorgeous.

Without all of your essential advice when I first got Nina, i would never have been as vigilant with the suncream as i am now!

She hates it but i tell her it is for her own good.

The thing that does worry me is whether her previous owner/owners bothered to do it as well?

Hope Anastasia is ok today.  She is so lovely and I have to say (as part of the Paws Inn Naming Committee) that Christine did a great job as she really suits the name.  She is gentle and delicate and just perfect.  She was so pleased to have some gentle strokes yesterday and I was pleased to give them.  I think she is wonderful.

Andy has examined Anastasia this morning and he is certain the ear is cancerous,so she is booked in for amputation tomorrow,unfortunately it is extensive and he will need to go right in and remove complete ear.
Will keep you updated on her progress.

Ahhh poor sweet Anastasia, give her a belly rub from me.

And thank you to those mentioning about putting cream on white noses, Sam's is pink/white and I never even thought that was vulnerable  :scared:
Title: Re: New arrival with timely reminder

Debbie - am glad you will be doing something with Sam's nose.

Post by: Teresa Pawcats on April 18, 2007, 16:34:20 PM
Poor Anastasia had a dreadful night not helped by wearing a buster collar but its something she will have to persevere with. The vet has managed to leave a tiny bit of her ear which is a blessing,he said it wasnt quite as bad as he first thought; its just ashame that she has to endure all this for lack of a little suncream. She has eaten her tea and used her tray as well as a tickle under her collar she it looks like she is feeling much better.

Poor Anastasia. But it sounds as if she is a resilient little soul and is starting on the long road to recovery. I'm glad her ear wasn't quite as bad as first thought.

Give her a gentle and special cuddle from me.

So pleased that Anastasia is feeling a little brighter to day and hopefully its plain sailing from now on to recovery and a wonderful frever home  ;D
Title: Re: New arrival with timely reminder
Post by: Teresa Pawcats on April 19, 2007, 10:42:56 AM
Anastasia is really bright this morning and enjoyed her breakfast despite me slipping some pain relief and antibiotic into it.
She is a loving dear little soul who takes everything in her stride,so hopefully she will come on in leaps and bounds.
Will post picture when her wound loses its shock horror image.

Hi T

Have been thinking about the beautiful Anastasia today.  Hope she is feeling ok and is coping with the collar and sore ear.

I look forward to giving her some gentle cuddles on Sunday.

Hi Claire and Christine
Anastasia has been a little down today,but greatly appreciated having her eyes bathed ,face washed and a good brushing as well as lots of cuddles.
She did tell me that  Aunty Claires cuddles are far better than mine and so she is really looking forward to Sunday.
Title: Re: New arrival with timely reminder
Post by: Ellie on April 20, 2007, 20:44:07 PM
Awwww bless her I hope she is feeling better soon  :hug:

I look forward to meeting Anastasia on Sunday  :Luv: :Luv:

Anastasia has been for her recheck this morning and vet is really pleased with the way she is healing,sadly she must keep the buster collar on for another week. Andy is not concerned over her eyes,says it is not blood in the discharge but a pigment that looks very much like blood so quite a relief.
Title: Re: New arrival with timely reminder

Anastasia looks lovely Teresa. What a pretty girl. Wish I could take her, she looks just like the type of lady our house needs.

Post by: Christine (Blip) on June 16, 2007, 15:49:50 PM
I was asking Teresa about beautiful Anastasia in the Basket yesterday evening, so I thought I would bump up her story for any newbies to read.  I told Teresa that if we lived nearer Paws Inn and - more importantly - if only Blip were more accomodating of other cats, we would adopt Anastasia immediately.

Some lucky family is looking for a puddy just like Anastasia.

 :Luv:

After well over a year in care and the removal of both cancerous ears Anastasia has finally found her forever home.
We took her last night and were thrilled to see that she was full of confidence, in fact she lost interest in us very quickly because she was so delighted with her new surroundings. I received an email and this picture this morning.
This lovely girl has finally landed on her paws.

 :Luv: I had the pleasure of having Anastasia on my lap for a good while on Sunday and it was heartbreaking to ask her to let me get up before my legs gave out on me from sitting on the floor with her so long.

I am truly happy that Anastasia is now in her forever home. She's a joy and her people are very very fortunate to have her.  :Luv2:

That is fantastic she is such a gorgeous cat  :Luv: having spent a few occasions covered in Anastacia fur after a visit to the Inn, I can say she is a cat who well and truly stole my heart! I am so happy for her, and of course to her adoptive parents for taking on such a lovely cat.

I feel really cheered up now! :hug:
