Kittens

We have a client who found a very pregnant stray cat a few weeks ago and we decided it would be best to let her have the kittens since she was so far along. A friend fostered the cat since the owner is blind and may not be able to manage watching over the pregnant cat. Yesterday the cat had one kitten and then just quit. Today we tried to induce labor and only got one more kitten so around noon we headed to surgery for a C-section and delivered the last kitten-sleepy but very much alive:) I know that pretty much the last thing the world needs is more kittens but when you go to the effort and expense of a C-section a live kitten makes the whole thing more worthwhile for everyone involved. Plus I spayed the cat while I was there which we were going to do eventually anyway. Momma and babies are all doing well tonight although momma is still kind of sleepy. I don't usually tell work stories here but this one was kind of different and fun.

We are busy here getting ready for vacation-only a few more days! Moses was limping pretty bad earlier in the week but after a few days on meds he is a lot better.
