3265.0. "CHARLIE DID WONDERFUL!!!!" by SHARE::WESTON () Fri Jan 19 1990 17:12

    THIS IS AN UPDATE, FROM NOTE:  3258 ON CHARLIE - Stray who was spayed,
    yesterday.
    
    I picked her up at 12:30 P.M. today, and she was great.  For an outside
    stray, she is a BOUNCE-BACK cat.........
    
    The nurse said she held her alot and she has purred quite often, she
    was a little upset to back in the carrier, but she laid down and slept
    and purred.  As I gave them the F.O.A. (FRIENDS OF ANIMALS)certificate,
    I was told the VET donated a Distemper Shot and (I THINK) FELV shot, I
    was surprised.  As you might of guessed from the note of 3258.  I had
    been previously upset with the attitude of $$$$ being most important
    and the work I and all of us are trying to do to prevent unwanted
    kitties.
    
    I feel real good about it today, and hope this is of things to come for
    a while.
    
    I sat with CHARLIE in our garage and let her sniff around and look
    around. She laid on a couple of blankets, walked around, sought out the
    litter box, and went on her own, WHAT A GOOD GIRL!!!!!!!  She ate a
    bit, and purred and rubbed up against me.  I think I could of stayed
    with her all afternoon, but being a contractor, I couldn't afford it. I
    got some milk for her and a mouse (DONATED BY SCRUFFY!) and she seemed
    contented.  
    
    I think I'll be able to keep her their (fingers crossed!!!!!!!) for a
    while, if not the duration of 10 days.  They put in sutchers, which
    have to be taken out. I asked directly for disolvable ones, and for
    some reason, he changed his mind.  This upsets me a bit, but will be
    O.K. if Charlie hangs in there with us.  I think she'll be a great
    adoptee, and has one person possibly interested.
    
    		"Just wanted to spread GOOD NEWS, as we all 
    		 need it!"  And hope to have more to come........

    I found out that one of the vets that works in my vets office has
    organized a little group in her area - people were complaining about
    the birth rate with the ferals and she is personally nutering/spaying
    these babies for NOTHING!!!  All these "concerned" people need to
    do is get them to her. 
    
    Hearing this made me feel so very good!

    The vet that took care of my Noel (3199) threw in
    the first kitten shots for nothing when I brought
    her in for her injury.  
    This is also the vet that is treating the kitten
    that was shot by the arrow at no charge.
    
    There are some vets who do care, and this guy
    is one of them!

    That's great news Carol.  Keep up the good work.
    
    Hope the vet's behavior helped to restore your faith.
    I have run into a lot of really caring people.  It
    certainly helps me to keep going.
