The SPCA called today. Yesterday, they couldn’t release the cats because Smokey was not spayed. Today, she was miraculously spayed. However, they found tumors — not sure how bad it is, because I didn’t get to speak with a vet. But, no matter how bad, we will love her up & get her the vet care she needs. We do not believe in drastic surgeries to make cats suffer more, but I asked them to send the OR notes & biopsy specimens. At the very least, they will be loved & kept comfortable. Our vet is coming to check them on the 20th. They should be settled by then. After their traumatic experiences, it’s not fair to drag them out to the vet so soon.
And 2nd miracle: our paperwork appeared!
Smokey had a bit of a rough time with the anesthesia, but they said she is OK now. I will believe it when she arrives!
Tiger had no anesthesia, but is probably very depressed.
Tentative pick-up day is Tuesday. Awaiting time.
Milocali has generously offered to pick them up. And it’s a long trip for her.
Thank you all for helping to save Smokey & Tiger.
