Uncle Fergus’ street cat rescue Cyprus

April 28th: Pirata just returned from playtime in the garden and hills with a swollen left paw and leg. I’m hoping it’s just a bee sting or something. She’s hiding now in the cupboard and won’t let me near her to check. I hope it’s not a snake bite or a bone fracture.

April 24th: Update on Gerry: Went to the vet yesterday and they said it’s still bad. Scar tissue around the injured cornea. Gotta bring him to a specialist vet on Saturday hopefully. And his cone has to stay on for a month!!!!

He still wants to play and eat and eat and steal food from everyone, but it’s obvious his eye is not good. He keeps it closed lots of the time.

Still got him on antibiotics and painkillers and steroid eye drops. Poor oy, I have to keep him inside when his 4 sisters go out to play twice a day. He complains a lot. I do bring him out for little walkabouts and stay beside him though but he’s used to having 2-3 hours free roam outside in the hills each day. Vet said not allowed!

My poor boy :( I observe them all a lot everyday and am sure his eye wasn’t that bad 1.5 days ago.

April 20: More bad news: My boy Gerry had a thing with his eye a few weeks ago where he kept closing it. I kept watching him and it wasn’t that bad. He just closed it randomly, but then after a week, when some of the kittens got eye infections, I got liquid low dose antibiotics from the vet and gave some to his eye too. Then a few days ago I noticed him rubbing it, and then this morning he went alone with the eye closed under the sofa and didn’t want to eat, which is extraordinary for hungry Gerry. I put him separate from the others when I went to work as I could tell he wanted to be alone. When I came home his eye was worse. Brought him to the vet straightaway and when he opened his eye it was bright green. The vet said an infection has destroyed his cornea. She said it could have something to do with his FIP. She said it’s unlikely he will regain sight in that eye. Now he has the cone to stop scratching it and is on painkillers and antibiotics and eye drops.

Meanwhile around the same time (April 1st), Scratchy, another one of the garden cats turned up outside my door. Hadn’t seen him in a week and thought he was staying away because of protective mum PiePie. He came to me and cried and crumpled. Normally he’s super strong and cheeky. And checked him and he has blood from his nostrils and sunken eyes and one infected. And his gums are yellow/orange color. He’s not well and begging for help. Going to bring him to the vet asap.

PiePie (one of the garden cats) gave birth on March 24. She came to me to bring me to where she had her babies safe in a back storage room in the garden.
