Well since this isn't where I have normally posted for most of my time on FDMB I guess a little bit of an introduction is in order.
While I am a new face over here, I have been around for several years with several different FD cats. My original girl was Muse thus the screen-name, Muse has been at the Bridge now for almost 5 years, after Muse came Maxwell who I adopted from DCIN, Maxwell was a Lantus cat and has been OTJ now for 4+ years. After adopting Maxwell, I also adopted Musette from DCIN, she was only with me for a year before leaving for the Bridge after an emergency vet screwed up and misdiagnosed her, and let her go into DKA and Fatty Liver, by not following my requests to force feed her, and completely missing the her RBC was dropping like a stone. Shortly before Musette earning her wings I also adopted my current lady Autumn also from DCIN.
Autumn is a bit of a special case, OTJ will never be an option for her as too much damage was done to her before she was adopted into our family. Autumn was allowed to go 10+ months after she was dxed without any form of treatment by her previous owner. When she arrived at my home almost 3 years ago she didn't weigh even 5 lbs and she is not a small framed cat. She was so matted that the mats had twisted her skin into them causing huge sores all over her body, she was severely dehydrated and had moderate ketones. Today she is a healthy and happy 14 lb. girl. Autumn is on Levemir, as she reacts violently to Lantus
Autumn also has a second adopted FD brother here as well Cassanova, Cass came to me as a private party surrender after he lost his first mom. When I got Cassanova he was being shot blind 11u bid and being free fed DM dry. He was also a watermelon with feet at 37 lbs. Today he is also OTJ! And a sleek and muscular 17 lbs.
Besides the 3 Sugar cats, there are 12 civies here, most of which are special needs in some form or fashion. As well as one very large species confused drooler....King the drooler truly believes he is just a very large and clumsy kitty.
