Chicle

[Ailurophile]

Hello everyone,

I don't want to be cheeky because I know you all already gave your love and support for Amelio when he was very sick but I really need your help again and this time I feel it is needed even more because I think we will be the only ones thinking of him.

Okay so...at the same time that Amelio came in (he is in another thread) little chicle came in after being found on the street at 2 months old. When he came in it was obvious he had had no contact with people or very bad experiences with them because he was terrified to be in the same room as anyone.

I put him in a cage with Amelio hoping that he would help to socialise him because he is so friendly. I spent everyday for as long as I could sitting by his cage and reading him stories just to get him used to me being close to him, then I laid just inside the cage and put my hand close to his body and sang to him.

Unfortunately after 1 month he caught ringworm and had to be quarantined so it meant I couldn't get as close to him and made his socialising even harder. He has been in there ever since and his health has deteriorated ever since. He eats very little and is very skinny and weak.

I decided to put him seperate from the other cats in a cage where I could really concentrate my attention on him and give him wet food to fatten him up abit. I also started to give him Reiki and just recently he had really started to come around and now meows at me when I come in the room and allows me to pick him up and stroke him.

I had a holiday recently and came back to find that he appeared to have lost his sight and his eyes had glazed over, the vet treated him with eye drops and he had started to regain his sight.

However last week I left the island for 3 days for a friends hen do and when I came back to work I was told by the girl covering for me that he was now unable to use his back legs. Deeply concerned that there maybe a deeper problem connected to these symptoms chicle has been booked in tomorrow for an operation, the vet will check all his organs are working properly.

So for those still reading (sorry I know its long winded) being a feral kitten he hasn't really gotten the kind of attention that some of the friendlier cats get and I am the only one that cleans the room he is in so....I just feel like maybe my love and healing won't be enough to get him through.

I really feel like we have made a connection and I feel deeply his want to be loved and cared for and have felt everyday his struggle to survive. This kitten has really touched me because I feel like everyone gave up on him a long time ago.

I know everyone has there own things in life but please, please from the bottom of my heart if you can send him love and healing please.

Thank you so much
