Big Weekend Commentathon and Gotcha Day Celebration II

Welcome to day two of our Grand Triple Header Commentathon & Got-Cha Celebration!

******

Today we celebrate that wild little scamp who evfurry one loves, Einstein. Tomorrow we will pawty with Top Cat Timmy! Mr Buttons will be you host so take it away Mr B! 

Alrighty rooney Toby. Gather around evfurry kitty and hear the true story of a kitty who was brought back from the sharp edge of the abyss with around the clock medical care and lots of love. Those or you who know his story can go get some adult cat refreshments, but, it is a good story. 

On October 8 last year Dad was at work in his office, which is in the part of our house where his sister and her doggies live, when a call came in. It was about eleven and it was someone he worked with. She said there was a kitten on her porch sick. Dad asked what happened and she said she had been feeding a few community ferals but had to stop due to a new landlord and nasty neighbors. 
After she stopped a pregnant Queen started coming to her porch meowing to be fed. She put food on the porch and after a bit of time the Queen disappeared. A couple days later she came back and it was clear she had kitted. 
His friend had looked but could not find the litter so had been keeping watch. This morning the mother brought three kittens to the porch so they could eat. She left one behind and he looked sick.
Dad asked what was going on with the kitten. His friend said he was not moving.
Dad asked "Is he stiff and cold?"
"Cold but not stiff."
"Is he alive?"
"I don't know. What should I do?"
"If you want you can bring him here. Wrap him in a towel and put him where it is warm in the car or as warm as possible."
"Thank you thank you I will be right there!"
Dad thought it was most likely dead but his friend was distraught so he figured he would give her some solace.
When she arrived Dad says the kitten was cold but alive. Dad could not leave his office so asked his friend to get a moist towel, put it in a trash bag and then pop it in the microwave. He sent his sister to get a heating pad.   
While they were doing that he had the kitten in his shirt and kept rubbing him. Dads friend brought the towel pack and it was nice and warm. Dad checked it on his wrist to make sure it was not too hot and then wrapped the kitten up in it. It was that time so he put the work computer on standby and his IM to 'At Lunch'
Dad came up the stair to our part of the house and we were curious what was going on. He made some formula and by the time he had to go back to work the kitten was awake and wobbling on his tiny feet. He was very dirty and a bit stinky but alive. They took the him down to the office in a carrier with a flip top and the heating pad in it. Dads friend thanked him and left. 
By the time work was over and Dad came up to feed us dinner the little fellow was eating a bit of formula. We were curious but not overly so and mainly watched Dad continue to feed the little fellow every hour or so. He said he was worried about kitten fading syndrome. Sometimes with a shock, and sometimes without a kitten can fade and go over the Bridge. Dad is a Nursey Man so knows his stuff and put it all to use taking care of this poor little scrap.

Here is the furst photo of kitten after he came out
of his coma. He needed a baff really bad.

After his baff he looked better and Dad kept him in the carrier overnight and he took him to work the next day and the Vet that night. We thought he was all better and Dad told us he would be going into foster in a few weeks. We were wrong.
After coming back from near death he started fading. Back to the vet and they said if he made it two weeks he would most likely be alright but not go get our hopes up. Dad knew it was up to him and watched him and kept stimulating him every hour.He would not let him sink too deep and so leave us.
By Friday he also had a bad case of diarrhea. Another trip to the vet for medicine to help with this new problem. Every time he ate it would go through him. He hated it but Dad bathed him a dozen times a day and kept him as clean as possible. His little  bum was sore and he would cry. We all felt so sad for the little guy.
After a week it was a little better. After another week he made a real solid poop. Dad was doing the happy dance over that poop and so were we. Every day he got a little better.

Here he is feeling better and all cleaned up. He loved
the wet food dad gave him.

Befur long he was up and playing...

playing...

and more playing

He met Rumpy and they were buddies right from
the start and still are best pals 

Rumpy was like a mother hen. Here he is making sure
his crate will be comfortable. After 2 weeks of around the clock
care Dad sure needed a break

There is more to the story. There always is. While caring for kitten Dad's friend captured his brofurs. They were two marmalades and were huge compared to kitten. She told Dad that before he got sick they would not let him eat any of the food she put out as he was the runt of the litter. They were a bit hissy but very cute. Dad only had them for a week before they went to an event and got adopted right away. We were happy about that.
By now Dad had decided that he was going to keep kitten but had no idea what to call him. 

Dad sent this photo to a friend at work and said he had decided
to keep him but did not know what to name him. She
replied right away, Einstein. How purrfect!

That night Dad told Einstein his new name. Rumpy was
excited as you can see. MOL

So there is a great story of a great cat. Our littlest Man-Cat has since become a great family member joining in all the fun we have. He has become a Cat Scout and is the Bugle Master for Wally's Warriors. 
We are really glad the fates brought him to our family and now lets all keep the party going. If you weren't here yesterday for Rumpy's Got-Cha party you can see it here.

This pawty is a part of a three day Commentathon. We are going to tally the comments today, yesterday and Sunday and give a half a green paper per comment up to one hundred green papers to a great rescue that we love:
