Doris

Meet Doris. She came into our lives when I found her, near-dead, one morning. She was completely emaciated, her eye was totally matted shut, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her head. I really thought she was a goner. But, I called my sister, Jeanie, anyway, a Vet Tech. She came out, gathered her up, and we were off to the vet. After a prescription for antibiotics and some other assorted pet medical items, we went back to our house. Jeanie got her cleaned up, got a little bit of milk replacement into her, and gave her a little bit of the medicine. Now it wasn't night and day, but all of that seemed to actually give the kitten some life. So, Jeanie took her to her vet's office and kept her there while Doris recovered. A couple of weeks later, she was well enough to come home. Now, I did NOT want another cat in the house, but she got to stay inside for a little while until I decided that the outdoors was the place for her a couple of months later. She still isn't 100%, even after a year. That eye constantly waters and she's always sneezy and snotty. But, she made it, which is pretty amazing.
