Hi Lantus Land,
This is Linda and Bear Man, writing on behalf of LLEF (Lantus Land Emergency Fund).
LLEF is running a fundraiser for Rosalie and Morgaine. As you know, Rosalie has been dealing with a very difficult situation with Morgaine for some time now. Morgaine has not been using the litter box. This presents many logistical problems for Rosalie, who struggles with her own health issues. Anyone who has dealt with inappropriate elimination problems with their cats will know that this is a very emotional issue, and one that is very difficult to diagnose and manage. Rosalie has been to the vet many times over the last several months to have Morgaine repeatedly checked out, and has tried everything imaginable to try and resolve the issue. Rosalie does live alone on a fixed income, but has spent a small fortune on litter boxes, litters, cleaning products, supplements, remedies, vet visits, and medications. Anyone would feel the strain of having a cat urinate on the bed, and defecate on the carpet, but when one is also physically challenged in being able to clean the home and the cat after these events, you can understand how one can come very close to the end of their rope.
This past week, Morgaine once again was saturated with urine, and Rosalie was attempting to clean her up when she was badly scratched. This really has become a crisis situation. While there can be many causes for this sort of problem, both physical and behavioural, Rosalie feels strongly that Morgaine's issues are due to the pain of neuropathy. The vet has suggested a short course of treatment with Bupe, followed by a longer course of treatment with Gabapentin, once Morgaine's system has cleared itself of Prozac, which was also tried.
As I mentioned, Rosalie has spent a lot of money on tests and treatments. Rosalie has received a lot of loving support in her condos, and other assistance from friends in Lantus Land. LLEF has contributed from its reserve fund for a thorough vet check and for medication. LLEF's mandate is normally to assist cats in need of emergency medical help. We feel that Morgaine is also facing a potentially life threatening situation. If you read back through her condos, you will see that Rosalie is being stretched to the limit of her resources, physically, emotional, and financially. For this reason, we are appealing to all of you in Lantus Land to contribute to this fundraiser. We hope to be able to cover the cost of Morgaine's upcoming Gabapentin prescription, and future veterinary needs. While we are hopeful that Morgaine is finally on the right track toward appropriate treatment, we know that she has a long road ahead of her. Your help would mean so much to Rosalie, who loves her cat very much, and who is just devastated by what is happening to her.
All donations are very gratefully accepted. No amount is too small to make a difference in what is very likely the saving of a life of one of our own. Please send your donations via Paypal to LLEF4kitties@gmail.com (Please select the "Personal" tab, and click the "Gift" option. Please also indicate your FDMB user name in your comments). Please contact me by PM if you would prefer to donate by cheque. I thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
