Mitsi Passed Away

I wanted to let you know about Mitsi, my Mama cat, she passed away in November.

Mitsi was pregnant when I rescued her and she had her kittens the very next day.

We let her raise her kittens in the warm house and when they got older I created an online adoption application for them and over 50 people applied to adopt them. They all went to amazing homes.

I knew from the get that I wanted to keep Mitsi.

About six months or so after the kittens went to their forever homes Mitsi was diagnosed with severe stomatitis which means her mouth was inflamed, her gums were a dark red and her throat looked like hamburger meat. Her whole mouth was covered in ulcers.

The only hope for a cure would be to have all of her teeth removed and it would cost $1200 for the surgery in Sacramento but with no guarantee it would work.

We decided to wait because of the money it would cost and we moved to Oregon.

She was on pain killers but cats don't do so well on long term pain killers, their kidneys usually get pissed off.

Once we moved here I raised the money to have her teeth removed and it didn't cost quite as much but still a lot.

Mitsi did so well after surgery but her vet was concerned because her gums were so bad they wouldn't even hold a suture.

She recovered and we thought she was home free. She was so happy but then it returned and it was worse than before.

For the last year of her life she has been on pain meds every single day.
She has been mostly out of it all the time. We did have our times though each day when she would be all lovey.

The last few weeks of her life I noticed her weight loss. I figured it was her mouth hurting and her not eating enough.

But on November 26th she went to take a step and fell over. She had two seizures and she died in my arms.

My heart has been broken ever since.

I just miss her so much.

You know, when I met her she was a feral cat living under a trailer. I tried to get her many times with no luck but the day before she was to have her kittens she decided to take a chance on me and she allowed me to get her into that carrier.

She did it for her babies, I know she did. She took a chance and it paid off. She always seemed so grateful.

I really do miss her so much.

This is Mitsi, I called her Mama though because she earned that title.

Model is Mitsi (Mama)

Here is the post when we first met.

MITSI'S FRIENDSHIP (A MAMA CAT RESCUE)

Mikey and Mitsi Dental Surgeries

Mikey has a bad tooth and has been suffering with it for about a week. I will be taking him in on 2/10/17 which is when we get paid. His vet wants to do full blood work on him and then deal with his mouth which is going to cost a bit I am sure.

My problem is that Mitsi, my little rescue cat who has Stomatitis and had dental surgery several months ago is scheduled to go back into surgery on the 2/16/17.

I have 2 cats in pain and both need surgery within a week of the other and I am totally freaking out. I won't be able to afford to have them both done so I am asking for help. I have to at least try to come up with it.

Right now I have both cats on Buprenex which is crazy expensive. Mikey just started with the pain meds but Mitsi has been on it for months now.

I am just drained, having two of them going through this at the same time is wearing me out.

If you can help, that would be so great but if you cannot I totally understand. Prayers are needed too and I will gladly take those as well. I know some of you have already invested money for Mitsi's mouth and I thought it would be just one surgery but they did not take out all of her teeth like I thought they were going to because of the condition of her mouth which was just awful. Her Vet was having a tough time getting her gums to even hold a suture. So sad.

She was doing great for a little while after surgery but then it started creeping back because there are still teeth in her mouth... I just want this to be over for her, she has been through too much. This is our last chance because I won't put her through anymore.:(

As I said, we get paid on the 10th and will be able to cover most of it, just not all. their vet has been so awesome too, she goes above and beyond for my animals, she has been incredible. She is already giving me a discount on Mitsi and I just don't want to ask her for more after all she has already done.

Mikey's House

Well....she made it through surgery ok....Thank God!


But Dr. Weber said her mouth was in REALLY bad shape.


He said it was so tore up that he could not even get her gums to hold a suture. (my poor girl :()


So...he wants to keep her a couple of days in the hospital but I barely have enough money to cover the surgery let alone 2 days in the hospital.


He said he needs to be able to flush her mouth out and keep a close eye on her.


I get that.


So back to fundraising I go, no fun no fun.


And to top it off I spent the entire day online with customer support for Wepay (donation pay site) trying to fix a problem that I never created. They had things all screwed up but finally came through at the end of the day and got things back together.


I am drained. I want to see her so bad. I am bummed she is not coming home tonight. :(


I know you have all done so much already but if you could at least share this maybe someone will want to help out.


Thanks everyone.

Mitsi Needs Help

Stomatitis is a severe, painful inflammation of a cat's mouth and gums. 
In most cases, the condition causes ulcers to form in the mouth; these ulcers can involve the lips, tongue, gums, and back of the throat.
 It is an awful, awful, painful disease and the only possible cure is to have ALL of the teeth removed. 
Most cats do very well once the teeth are gone. 
I want this for her, she doesn't deserve to live in such pain everyday. 
I rescued her so she would have a happy ending, please help me make that happen for her. Please.
Donations are at $468. 
Surgery cost $800

WE ARE HALF WAY THERE

The photo on the left is Mitsi before she got sick....

She was always sprawled out across my bed.

The Photo on the right is now...

Under my bed. :(
She is so withdrawn from life.

BUT WE ARE HALF WAY TO CHANGING THAT!

Donations are at $400 and I am just so unbelievably grateful for you all. 
I know I still have another $400.00 to go but half way is so dang awesome.

I feel like their is hope starting to seep in.

I am in the process now of contacting a couple of more organizations for addition funding.

Not sure how much they will help with, if they help at all but I will know soon.

I want this so badly for her, I can feel it inside, this anticipation of the day the pain stops.

I don't even know how to thank you all for being so kind...

You just have to know that this means so much to me and to Mitsi.

I am starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel for her...

And it's because of you.

Thank you.

Mitsi Needs Surgery Soon

Well....Mitsi woke up this morning and she had blood on both sides of her face, down the front of her and on het front legs and paws. The bleeding was obviously from her mouth but it had stopped bleeding but she was a mess.

After I gave her some pain meds I then cleaned her up somewhat as you can see here...once the meds kicked in she wanted to help with the cleanup....but first she ate 2 small cans of food. Usually, she eats just one.

She has been on Veraflox for a couple weeks now, before that it was clavamox and before that it was some other antibiotic. My poor girl has been on one or another since March. She also gets Buprenix daily for pain and she was on steriods for a while. The pain meds take the edge off, but only the edge.

I feel like such a jerk for putting her through all of this...its just difficult to give up on her when she is otherwise healthy.

I rescued Mitsi a few years ago when she was pregnant and living under a trailer. It was raining and she was cold and hungry, she was feral and so scared but she was soooo pregnant, ready to have them any minute, I think that is the reason she allowed me to grab her that night. I had tried to get her before with no luck at all.

I remember bringing her home that night, she just acted so grateful. 

She had her babies the very next day, we were thrilled. For the next two months or so, we were all in heaven...Mitsi was too. She was safe and so were her kittens. They had their own space away from the other animals and all they had to do was just enjoy each day.

It was incredible, she was such a good Mama.

When the kittens were ready I created an online application for their adoption, we had 50 applicants. All of them went to awesome homes and I decided I wanted to keep Mitsi.

She is really a great cat but since she was Diagnosed with Stomatitis, she hides a lot because it hurts so bad.

When she came home with me that first night, all I wanted is for her to have a good life since she had it so rough before.

But she is not having a good life.

The vet needs to pull all of her teeth for her to have a pain free life, I want that for her so badly, she so deserves that. 

But its not happening, I dont have $800 for the surgery. Over the last few years I have spent over $2000 on her illness, but its been a little at a time. 

I have tried GofundMe and raised some..bless all of you who have given to her, every dime has went for her care. I save every receipt also.

I have tried different organizations but they want people that are unemployed or have some hardship but I dont have either. I just have a little kid and 6 other cats to support which doesnt leave me a lot left over. The bills are paid , we have what we need...except for this surgery.

I spoke with her vet and we are going to get together in the next few days to figure out what we need to do...

If we cant get this done, I wont have any other choice but to put her to rest because this is really no way to live for her...her mouth looks like hamburger meat inside and now she is getting the ulcers on her chin and lips.

I cant do this anymore, I love her too much.
This is not how it was all suppose to go...I just wanted to help her.

So this is my last ditch effort...
If anyone wants to donate money for her surgery you can do so by donating directly to Mitsi's vet. Her vets nane is

 Tina Johnson at Newberg Veterinary Hospital

If you do donate to her vet please let me know this way I am not calling the vet constantly.

Prayers work too and your support means everything to me.

I just have to give it another try. 

Thanks for reading this I know it was long.
