Wylie

June 15, 2009

Michelle says: When JayJay and her brother Wylie came to us, they were so young and fragile that it was touch and go. One thing we learned is that sometimes bottle babies need to be separated or they nurse on each other. JayJay did this on Wylie's privates and caused damage to his urethra (it sealed shut). He had to have laser surgery to keep his urethra open. We learned to let them play/wrestle and cuddle while we were present and then separate them when we couldn't watch them closely, mostly at overnight. Wylie is/was such a goof ball. If we bend over, he must jump on our backs... he's so proud of himself!!! He's also super senstitive and always making sure I'm okay. He talks and purrs up a storm, pets my face and drools on me. Wylie is my little sensitive sweetheart. =)

I feel blessed that you solved the problem, and paid for the needed surgery to his poor little 'weewee'- having or saving strays is a big responsibility and you showed what it means- he looks happy now- thank you for your kindness. and for all the love you give the rescues!!

I love all my kitties --but, boy o' boy, Wylie for sure has my heart..but don't tell Orange, he thinks he's "king!". *laugh*
Thank you everyone for all your well wishes; I'm glad to share their cute photos and stories with you all. -Michelle

This is probably my favorite pic from the last several kitties, which is saying something since they're all so darn cute! But this lil guy - yeah, I can see why he'd steal your heart.

This is the first time since I have been coming to this site that I can not pick a picture that I think is the most adorable. They all are. You will be rewarded for all the good things you did for these kitties. You are an angel on earth.

Barbara - 14 years, 10 months ago

He sure has grown into a really beautiful young man, how adorable. Yet when you see him when you first started taking care of him your heart just breaks. These people ought to be shot for tossing these two and pouring oil on them, that to me is unforgiveable. Thank God there are people like yourself that are willing to take care of these guys. Just beeautiful you did a beautiful Job. Just look how Happy he is now.What great shots.

I think this is probably the youngest kitten I've seen here - so tiny you feel you need to be gentle just to look at him.

You are SO informative about kitten care. I have a cat that looks like Wylie, he's 8 years old now and he was bottle-fed by our family. He's such a sweetie, just like you describe Wylie. Thanks for posting the links to smugmug so we can see how these precious babies look all grown up. Keep up the great work, you two!! Bless both of you angels.
