Group No. 8: Jim Bob, Mason & Raven

Group 8 came to us on August 11th, but this time they are not related.  Jim Bob was turned in to the shelter because no one wanted him, and Mason and Raven were both found in parking lots.  They were kinda wild animals when we first got them, but they really enjoy each others company and are having fun learning about people and living indoors!  

My first kitten emergency happened a couple of nights ago.  Raven got her head stuck in the hole in the back of our TV cabinet...you know, the one that is drilled out so you can run power cords through.  She was stuck good and after what seemed like forever (and talk of sawing her out), her head finally popped out!  

About 30 minutes later, her eye looked all swollen and watery.  In the end, it turned out that it was pink eye, and just a coincidence that we noticed this at the same time we were examining her head for trauma.  Believe me, seeing leaking fluids out of the eye is very scary after pulling a kitten's head out of a hole!  All the kittys are on eye medication and doing much, much better!
