Love those. The middle picture is so funny. It's like they're looking at you saying, what? Another picture? Prayers and hugs to your precious little threesome.
Very pretty. And she clearly likes to dress up.
Hugs and prayers to her. Awww, he's a fighter.
Praying for your precious pup, sending hugs too. What's his name?
They are so cute! I love schnauzers....in 101 Dalmatians the schnauzer character was the sergeant and ain't it the truth...they think they are in command.

I wanted to save the site bandwidth, I think that's still a thing, and make one huge post of heart felt gratitude for all the prayers of support for Ivory, the sanctuary , and myself. (GIANT GROUP HUGS) It's a bigger group now too.
To address two points sisters made in their posts: Anemia=fleas. My cats have flea treatment every month. The kittens were too young for this. They typically have to be 12 weeks old just to be safe for direct application. FT is after all an insecticide that enters the bloodstream once applied between the shoulder blades of the kitty. The blood drinker flea then bits kitty and drinks the insecticide. Our treatment is for flea eggs and ticks too.
I also flea combed kitties. And we spray the sanctuary with a flea treatment spray from RAID and then a natural oils flea spray just to be safe.
Ivory did have fleas when the vet examined her. However, it appears the underlying Herpes would be the culprit in her decline. While the flea issue just compounded the stress on her young immune system.
Many of my cats are allowed outside because we have a large property for their exercise and outdoor play. Even with flea treatment they can still pickup fleas from roaming neighbor cats, or even the wildlife in this area. Deer, Raccoons, Possum, Foxes.
The second posting, you didn't know cats could get Herpes. Once upon a time I didn't know that either. Herpes? Isn't that humans only? [Cats can also contract Feline AIDS as well.
The Herpes virus isn't the same as humans, but they can contract it as a virus and at any time. Cats born to moms with Herpes are at risk because they will contract the virus through mom during gestation. Cat pregnancy is 9 weeks. Most flea treatments, all that I know of, are applied once a month.
Just as one doesn't apply new updated flea treatment to a pregnant mama cat for the duration of her pregnancy because the insecticide transmits to her babies, so too does the Herpes virus if mommy is infected.
*For new cat owners. Never give flea treatment to a mommy cat who is lactating, feeding her newborn kittens either. It transmits to her milk and will kill them. Also, kittens absorb through their skin whatever gets on it. If you give your cat or kitten a flea bath, in the case of kittens do not use flea shampoo. They're too young.
We use a plant based dish soap from Seventh Generation for baths. You can also use regular Dawn dish soap. Dawn really does work on oil if it gets in kitty fur.
Thank you all again. It means more than you know. God Bless You All. :*(

They are beautiful.Hi @WaterSong
Not sure why the pics came out doubled! The first one is Adam, second is Jazzy (head tilted) and the blond one is Babygirl. My little family
Beautiful pictures. Touched my heart. Made me cry for the loss of my little ones and with joy too that they always knew mommy loved them and will see them again one day. (HUGS to you and your precious furball)
LOL Great song. Loved 1001 Dalmations when I was little. I never saw her name written when I was a child, didn't read the book just saw the movie, but later when I did see it in print I thought it quite clever. Cruella De Vil = Cruel Devil. Glenn Close was great in that role.Okay, now you leave me absolutely no choice.
