Update on Kit
First off, I just want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. Our fundraiser reached $705!!! Our original goal was $500 so I could cover the rest on my credit card, and we actually surpassed it. That took a huge amount of financial stress off of me, so thank you all so much for the love, support, shares, and donations. It truly means the world to us.
Kit is already hobbling around and doing surprisingly well! She’s been giving and getting lots of love. Right now I have her staying in my small bathroom since I have other animals in the house. I’ve been considering getting one of those pop-up play pens so she can have her own safe space while still keeping her movement limited during recovery. Does that sound like a good idea?
Also, they didn’t send me home with any medication, not even pain medicine. Is that normal? I know I should’ve asked while I was there, but it didn’t really hit me until I got home.
I’m also unsure what to do about the cone. They said she could take it off to eat, but I’m nervous that if I remove it, she won’t let me put it back on afterward. Any suggestions?
Any other recovery advice is welcome! I don’t have a ton of experience with cats, and I’ve never gone through a surgical recovery with an animal before, so I’m learning as I go. Thank you all again for everything!
