Is this the BEST picture you've seen all year?
!!!!! The best feeling in
the world is to see my boy bound out the litter box, scoot across the floor,
look at an empty plate, look up at me and say MEOW, and dance while I open cans
and CHOW DOWN !!!!
You are miracle workers,
you friends of Vincent's !!! Don't stop !!!! Keep those prayers, good wishes
and love flowing for our boy !!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you a million times
over !!!!
Many of you know how sick
Vincent's been the last few weeks.
I've been trying to tempt him to take just a little lick or a tiny bite
every 15 minutes. His wonderful doctors
called in an internist specialist to delve deeper and run more and more
tests. He's been checked and rechecked
from nose tip to tail tip, inside and out, and the good news is he's a pretty
healthy boy except for a persistent infection and severe anemia.
He's been so weak for the
last week he's just wanted to stay in bed.
He's even needed to be carried to the litter box. He's stayed hunkered down in a big cozy bed
in front of the heater, putting up with me stuffing things in his mouth and
begging him to eat.
He's been on a new med a
few days and I sure think it's helping.
Based on the last of the lab work that just came back yesterday, another
med is coming in to the pharmacy for him about noon today - $200 for the bottle
!!!!
Vincent promised to do a
Valentine's Day campaign to raise money for vaccinations for the cats and dogs
this spring. A $19,600 adventure that
occurs every three years when the kitties and doggies need their rabies
vaccinations, as well as their other preventative vaccines.
Instead, he's been
running up the bills himself! When we
pay for his meds at the pharmacy today, he'll be topping out just over $2,500
for care in the last week !!!! And we
go back in tomorrow for more lab work.
If you can spare a few
cents for a Valentine for Vincent, he'd greatly appreciate it!

Vincent wants to give YOU
a Valentine too!!! While the supply lasts (he pawtographed several
copies a few weeks ago) he'll send you an original pawtographed purrtrait with
purrsonal inscription just for you, for donations of $250 or more towards
medical bills. HURRY to get an original pawtograph on your
purrtrait. If he sells out, you'll get the option of a purrtrait without
pawtograph or to wait till he's feeling up to pawtographing one just for you!
If a purrsonal pawtograph
is out of your range, donations of $125 or more will receive a 8.5 x 5.5
purrtrait with inscription to you!!
If you purrfer, a $75 or
larger donation will get you a 4.25 x 5.5 purrtrait !!!!!!
A Vincent Purrtrait is a
great keepsake for you - or Purrfect Valentine Gift for your beloved Vincent
fan - ask that the inscription be for your loved one and we'll send to them on
your behalf!!! Be sure to give me their
address!!!
And of course, every
penny adds up, and that’s what keeps Rikki’s Refuge going. Together we can work miracles ... one penny
at a time !!!
Thank you for your
support!
