Yaaay! Wonderful! (can't use smileys at work!).

Does anyone know if we can donate directly to the Brent Knoll Branch? I couldn't get into their web pages earlier.

Hi all.

I am adopting Truman and am picking him up on Saturday morning. I'm so happy.
Leicester RSPCA will do follow-up check in a couple of weeks time.

Nikki said the RSPCA will not ask for an adoption fee but said that if people could donate to them what they can to help cover the cost of his treatment so far they would be very grateful. That amounts to £80 + cost of having him chipped (forgot to ask how much that would be).

Joote · « **Reply #164 on:** March 11, 2009, 15:34:28 PM »

well there you have it everyone a happy ending, I will now update the other religous followers on petforums.
Thanks for everyones help, I really cant wait to know he's settles and happy in a new lovely home :D

I would like to say a public thank you to Nikki and the Brent Knoll RSPCA and to Justine for CP for all the work they have done. It is great to see RSPCA, other rescues and all of us jo public working together to reach a positive outcome and I hope it can happen a lot more.

Justine: if you have the contact details of the lady who first found Truman could you thank her for me and all of us here.

So happy.

Will keep you posted.

Good news for Trueman. Nikki phoned this am to say they are all delighted at Brent Knoll that his blood results were much better than they had feared. I have sent her my vets details and also details of a rescue who recently home checked me.

Justine: could you phone Nikki on 01278 782671, she has been trying to call you.

You know when Trueman gets to you it's most definitely dancing bananas time!

I dont think so yet, I spoke to Moira on the phone last night, I'm sure she'll update us as soon as she finds out.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #140 on:** March 11, 2009, 11:01:06 AM »

Any news yet?

JackSpratt · « **Reply #139 on:** March 10, 2009, 18:11:56 PM »

Hoping the RSPCA will see Moira as Truemans new home and let him go - that would make my day!

Joote · « **Reply #138 on:** March 10, 2009, 17:37:41 PM »

this is great news im really happy he isnt that bad that, in the opinion of the vets, he isnt that bad.
I really hope he can have a happy home!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #137 on:** March 10, 2009, 17:21:42 PM »

Detached retinas are usually caused by high blood pressure, unless Truman was in an accident at some point or there was a medical condition involved. He may have been blind all or most of his life but his blood pressure needs to be taken to see if he needs BP meds.

If he had been wandering or trapped in for a while this maybe why he is thin.

This does sound positive, so now we need to know whether RSPCA will release him to go to a good home

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #136 on:** March 10, 2009, 17:16:55 PM »

does this suggest his very low weight is probably from being starved then?

and what else might have caused the detached retinas? sounds to me, who knows s*d all about poorly cats, as if he might have had a very rough ride along the way

all the more reason for some Purrs love

bonnielass · « **Reply #135 on:** March 10, 2009, 17:13:17 PM »

Thats fantastic news sounds more positive so fingers crossed for him, with so many people rooting for him he has got to be given the chance

moira · « **Reply #134 on:** March 10, 2009, 17:10:16 PM »

Some positive news.

Just spoken with the vet (just as well I'm conscientious and didn't nip off home early

From the bloods 'not too terrible'. Some renal compromise (as expected in old cat). She is doing a urine screen tomorrow. Thyroid normal. She said his blood results did not come out as bad as his appearance suggested they might.

Will require ongoing care but in her opinion:

'he is not at a point where euthanasia is the only option'.

Nicky does not know the results yet so she hasn't been able to discuss with her.

if you read this before you leave Moira, you can always contact me and ill update thread from home,
