Hello
This is Lilly a female *young" we think that has been hanging around in Canterbury since Feb apparently. Fed by lots of people.. She developed a swelling nr her eye and we were called by the lady that had been feeding her for 3wks, as the RSPCA has not responded.. I thought Lilly had a bad abscess nr the eye but when i took her to the vets today we found it was cancerous.. Poor mite, its a big as an acorn and although dosnt seem to bother her must be annoying her.. Being so nr to the eye is a huge problem. She is on antibotics for a week to see if the swelling goes done and then back to teh vets next week with an idea of trying to remove it.. But a delicate op and no guarantees of success as it may just return again... We have no idea how long its been there.
She is a lovely natured, really unusally colouring and i suspect in the past did belong to someone.. Lets hope we can do our best for her...
So now in are care with have Milo a partially blind puss, Mabel, FIV and thyroid problems, Jesiri with all this problems, 2 long term cruelty cases and now Lilly.. Oh dear we seem to be getting such alot of poor mites lately............

I really feel for this poor little darling. I was so pleased when I heard she'd been caught because we were trying to get her for a couple of days. I don't know why, but I imagine she's like my Tilly in nature. I couldn't bear the thought of her being in trouble like that but having no shelter. :( Tell Caroline to give her a cuddle from me. :Luv: :Luv:
Finger's crossed the vets can sort her out and that this tumour is an isolated case. :hug:
-
Poor girl :(
-
Please give Tilly a headkiss from us and Ging and Grwndi send their best wishes too :Luv:
-
A gentle nuzzle to Lilly from Tess and Paddy
-
Aww, bless her. I do hope you can figure out a way to sort her eye out, she is lovely. Such a shame you are having so many cases like this at the moment though.
-
Fingers crossed for this little one :hug:
-
Good Luck for Lilly....she is gorgeous :Luv:
-
aww I love her markings. She's really beautiful.
I hope all ends well. Fingers crossed that there are no metastases.
My only worry is that it isnt a secondary originating from another lesion downstream.
Love and purrs from maddy, Elle, Bertie and Tiffy.
-
We hope so as well. We hope that a cancer specialist vet will see her in the next day or so... But we will try our best to get her on the road to health...
-
Poor Lilly - At least our own vet is a cancer specialist Sharon. Lets hope RB can sort her out.
-
She's gorgeous ,such an unusual colour. She's so lucky to come to you, I have a feeling things are going to turn out ok for her in the end.
-
I think Caroline is taking her to the vets tomorrow. He is the cancer specialist.. She seems to of settled fine. Mark when you to to Carolines you may see her!
-
Lets hope he can sort her out - poor baby :Luv:
I will go over Caroline's tomorrow if its OK with her - I passed her house on the way back from canterbury today but didn't like to go without calling 1st.
Reminds me - Did the girl follow up with the kittens Rupert & Lauren?
-
Little Rupert and Lauren will be going to their forever home in the next day or so. They are going to that mum and daughter you did the HC on...These 2 kittens were found in a box under someones car in Canterbury, unfortunately one didnt make it.. Lauren is a very unusual colour... Another happy ending.......Nothing serious wrong with them, other then fleas, worms and good food for a few weeks.
Lets hope that Lilly has an equally happy ending...
-
Fingers crossed for her vet appointment.
-
Lilly is going to be kept in overnight and operated on tomorrow. Postive vibes everybody that this tumour is benign and can be sorted out, as things will not be good if they are not due to the whereabouts it is, so near the eyes..
She is a dear little cat, lets all hope we can do something!
-
I hope it goes well for you both . I shall be thinking of you all day :)
Poor little mite doesn't even have a long time owner to wake up to and smell and feel some comfort .
-
Fingers crossed for her.
-
good luck Lilly :Luv:
-
I missed this somehow :-:
Good luck for lilly today and hopefully it is an isolated mass and they can get a good margin of excision.
:hug:
-
Hope it all goes well for her :Luv:
-
Sharon, how did Lilly's operation go?
-
Little Lilly went to RB and he successfully removed the lump.. She is now at Carolines.. The lump apparently was well encased and although he said it looked nasty and had been their for some time, he was satified that he had got a good margin around it and it didnt look as though it had spread.. They took a biopesy to be sent away. Meanwhile she has a few stitches on her face and some eyedrops for eyes and maybe will also have a dropey eye from now on but seems fine.. Caroline has now brought her indoors...for some one to one...
So kind of good news... Poor sweetie.
-
Aww, fingers crossed they have caught it all.
-
I hope so too.
-
And me!
-
Fingers crossed for Lilly and hopefully she will have a lovely human just waiting for her but hugs to Caroline for the one to one which I'm sure will be repaid 100 times ove :hug:r
-
that sounds really promising fantastic. The worst is hopefully over. :)
-
fantastic news.
-
Great news ;D
Hopefully I will be able to see Lilly and Jesiri on Monday (don't all be jealous :evillaugh: )
-
I think and fingers crossed that whatever happens to Lilly and we hope its good news. I have already found her a home to be loved... This home is more like a mansion actually, a lady rang me to ask if we had any deserving cats that needed extra TLC no matter what they had wrong with them.. The only previso was it had to be female.. Of course Jesiri is male but Lilly fits the bill and as soon as i know her results next week, i may of already allocated her a very posh home to go to... The lady had worries about the "swimming pool" and the horses in the yard.. I think Lilly would handle all of that.. What a lovely call, not many people ring me up no wanting a perfect cat, but one most in need. Shame i could not convince her for Jesiri but he want be going any where for a while and you never know may end up staying!! But i say that will all of them...
-
What a lovely call, not many people ring me up not wanting a perfect cat, but one most in need.
I just dont understand these people myself, I really dont - when we contacted our local rescue all those years ago I told her to describe only the puddy most in need. So I totally understand this lady.
Great news for little Lilly, anyway :wow:
-
sharon i'm coming down to be rehomed through you lol, what with baz's purrfect fancy new gaf and now the prospect of a mansion home for lilly i want some of that creature comforts ;) ;)
-
Hi all
The thing with Kent is that we stil have abit of countyside and many people communute from London.. In the last year have had some fabulous homes for cats.. very rural and very expensive... This lady in particular admitted to being a dog person for many years but took in a stray a while back and nursed back to health.. Try turned out to be pregnant and had her kittens in a house a few blocks away from her.. those people who were also feeding her reported to her to the RSPCA and she was spayed and kittens rehomed.. They were deverstated!! She was a lovely mild mannered lady and just wanted to do what she could for another female puss with a hard luck story.. Normally i woundnt of mentioned Lilly as she isnt officially up for rehoming yet.. But couldnt miss such a lovely home.. I explained about her condition and the tumour and she wasnt fazed at all... She uses the most expensive vet around for her horses and when is said to her i doubt the pool would be a problem she was much relieved....When i asked about her garden, she told me "oh my dear i have acres of garden, takes a day to cut the lawn"..... Oh my... think i will move in as well...
Mind you Baz's new home although not being so grand is like being in a middle of an island, a converted oast house up a dirt road! BTW he is doing fabulously well...............Probably forgotten all about us..
-
That is wonderful news, I love people who just want the most needy cat regardless of anything.
-
Well thats settled next time you get a free pen sharon i'm going to come and sit in the corner and flutter my
puppy dog Kitty cat eyes at everyone and get a pad like lilly, sounds just like the type of life i'd be suited to ;)
-
I keep missing such important things!!
Way to go, Lilly! Well done, Sharon. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
No matter what Lilly's long term future holds, I think she'll be treated like a queen and we can trust this lady to give her the best vet care. :Luv: And what a deserving puss too and she nearly broke my heart when I first heard about her.
I've gone all gooey eyed... :'( :Luv:
-
Some Karma working there (for a change) that the ones who have been through the most will be pampered silly. Not to say that a cat couldn't have a great life in a 1 bed flat ;D
Lets hope she gives a mansion-size donation as well :evillaugh:
In case anone missed in in general, here is a pic caroline took of herlittle boy giving lilly some tlc
-
Not sure if i kept this up to date. But Lillys tumour was benign a sweat gland something or other and was completely removed.. She thus had her stitches out today, but got rehomed this evening. to the lovely lady with the mansion... Gave us a £75.00 donation which was great and probably just about covered her veterinary treatment, but the main thing is that she got a lovely home out of it.. Will phone the lady who brought her in to tell her.. Lovely Lilly is going to keep her name as well.
Arr well about time we had a happy ending, two cats had to be PTS this week so its been very sad........
-
:yayyy: :yayyy: :yayyy: So glad Lilly is okay and has landed on her paws in her new forever home :Luv:
RIP Poor kitties :(
-
Glad to hear she has a fab new home and a positive future. RIP little ones.
-
Great news for Lilly ;D
Sad about the other kitties though, RIP little ones :'(
-
Lets hope she gets the same devotion she got at Caroline's - she melts hearts so I'm sure she will. Shame the lady didn't give you a bit more money but at least another one has gone to a good home.
Sorry about the other 2 :'(
