Quick Update on Chester

Chester's family is truly devoted to their beloved furry friend. I've been told that they are going to cover any charges he incurs at the Emergency Vet Clinic and have already set up plans to make the drive to Connecticut from VERY far away in Maine, to get their boy back.

They're ready for him to come home IF he is stable enough to make the long journey. There is some pressure in that the Vet closes at 8 AM on Monday. They're only open when "regular" Vets are closed. The thought here is that if needed, Chester would either have to just go home OR be transferred into boarding or another Vet, depending on how he's doing.

I've offered to pick him up and foster him here for a few days if that is needed and Barb, another rescue lady, also offered her home in case Chester wanted to have a choice of locations (hee hee).

As of 5 PM today, Chester was described as being “OKAY,” which seems to be a step up from what I heard at 8 AM, which was “iffy.” I'm VERy hopeful the trend to improve will continue and Chester will be ready for the long trip when Monday morning arrives.

I plan on going over to the Clinic to pick up my cat carrier and to visit Chester, if he can have a visitor. It would be great to see him in a perkier state than I last saw him.

Please, dear kitty, know that your family is coming for you. Fight the good fight. Get some rest and may you feel fabulous tomorrow!

This story brought me to tears reading it. I am so glad Chester was found and is doing better. I just recently had a similar situation where I saw a kitten dart across a very busy road and get hit, but was able to get away and make it to the other side of the street. I went to try and find him in the woods by the road, but could not locate him. It has lain heavily on my mind, if he made it okay or ending up passing away. If I could have just found him, I would have done whatever I could to save him. I know that feeling you talked about, that motivated you to get up a 6am to find Chester. He is so fortunate and you are amazing!

Today was rough...a very young kitten that I "follow" online passed away this morning, and I've been heartbroken over it.

I'm so glad Chester has a fighting chance! I hope he pulls through, and that his family arrives soon. I think seeing them will make him feel better

Bless your work and that of karlyn and Betsy

Be well
Gene
