YT 2000 Club Member | Prayes For Squeeker I'd like to ask if you could all remember Squeeker in your prayers, she's a stray cat we've been caring for/for the last year. When we started caring for her, she was so skinny you could see the bones in her body, but through out the summer and fall, we managed to gain her trust and companionship and were able to get some very much needed meat on her bones and finally got to where she'd let us pet her. She had a very bad infection in her eye so I called my vet and explained the situation and he was kind enough to prescribe antibiotics for her without seeing her in the office. Although she lets us pet her, she WILL NOT let us put her into a crate to get her to the vet, and the vet said a lot of times, doing that to a ferrel or stray will cause them to go into shock. We got her eyes cleared up and made a water proof home for her under our elevated front porch, she made it through the winter by the grace of God. Come spring, she was doing great till someone shot her with a bow and arrow or someone grazed her with a bullet. Again, tried getting her into a crate to get her to the vet, but she wasn't having it, my heart broke and I cried for her. I called the vet again, got more antibiotics and went out daily and cleaned her wound, by the grace of God, she healed up. Two weeks ago as I was taking fresh food and water out to her, I noticed a lump on the side of her face just below her ear, tried getting her into the crate, but once again, it was a no go. So, I kept my eye on the lump for a few days and finally it started seeping. I called the vet, explained the situation and he prescribed antibiotics for me to give to her. I go out twice a day and Squeeker lets me push all the puss out of the abcess (sp) (I think that's what it is) and I clean it up real good and put antibiotic ointment on it. She's such a god girl and our family has really grown to love her so much, we worry about her living outside but I know she'd never let us keep her in our house, so, we keep a clean warm bed for her made up under our porch and make sure she has food and water available daily. if you all could please keep Squeeker in your prayers and pray that the abcess (sp) or whatever it is on the side of her face heals up and goes away, my family and I would greatly appreciate it. I don't know what's happened to her in life, but she isn't able to meow, she tries but it only comes out as a squeek, that's why I named her Squeeker. Your prayers are very much appreciated.

YT 2000 Club Member | Thanks so much, I appreciate it. I just want her to be ok and be as healthy as she can be. She doesn't bother anyone, stays right here in our yard most of the time aside from going out in the woods a few times a day to potty I think. Made me so mad when someone shot her, you could see all the way down to the bone! Thank God she healed from that. No she's going through this, it breaks my heart and I worry about her so much.

| I know exactly what you are saying about feral cats. We have many of them around our home and I put out food for them. Are you sure your cat is a female? If she is then it would be wise to catch her and take her to a vet that spays feral cats otherwise you will end up like us and have cats everywhere. The cats are great for keeping down the snake, mouse and rat population. Outside cats are bad about getting into cat fights and that could very well be what caused her abscess. Our Momma Kitty was dropped off here about 6 years ago and she is the only one out of the bunch that I can pet but she does not like being held. I will pray for your baby and hope that she continues to heal. |

YT 2000 Club Member | Thank you Joanne, I really appreciate that. We're very fortunate to have such an understanding vet, a lot of vets wouldn't prescribe any meds without seeing the animal first, without our vet being so understanding, Squeeker would be in a world of trouble.

| Squeeker certainly has my prayers. She's so lucky she found her way to your house. Her guardian Angel must have been guiding her all the way. Sounds like she is in the best hands she can be without climbing into that crate and going to the vet. You are doing an awesome job with her.
