Shipping and Stella Update

Hi All,
I'm planning to start shipping tomorrow. I have a job I should finish today and then it's headfirst into getting all the orders out the door. Judy will be helping over the next few days, so things should move smoothly and a bit quicker than when I work alone. I'm going to ship the regular orders first and then follow that up with the donation gifts.

For all those who donated to help Stella...

She is hanging in there. The radiological treatment was scheduled for next week, but due to the prescription food we had her on, we must wait an additional 30 days for it to clear her system. The local vet had no idea that the wait time would be that long. She was a bit aggravated at Hill's Science for not informing the Vet community about this. They did more blood work this past Friday and found she may be having kidney issues, but not sure. We switched up the food, put her new medication and she seems to have stabilized. She is a bit weak, and not eating as much as usual, but still getting enough down to keep her from wasting away. She's basically hanging in there. She has more blood work being done this Friday to see where her numbers are at. Hopefully we will get some good news concerning the kidneys. The numbers were slightly off, but nothing major. It will take a couple of weeks to see if her numbers level off, if they do, she will go for the thyroid treatment the first week of October.

She's a tough old soul. I think if we can keep nutrition in her she has a chance. She's been getting a lot of my attention of late. Lots of petting and holding which she normally will have none of. She seems to enjoy the extra scratches behind the ears. I'll keep everyone updated, and thanks once again for being so kind and generous with your support.

Saving Stella

My lovable kitty Stella has been diagnosed with Feline Hyperthyroid Condition. We noticed she was rapidly losing weight and not her old chipper self. Upon taking her to the vet, where they preformed a battery of tests, we were informed of her precarious condition. Fortunately there is a cure that is 98% effective. It's a radiological procedure that will destroy the small tumor on her thyroid gland causing all the problems. The shocking part was the price tag. The procedure will cost around $1300. 

To help raise the funds for this life saving treatment I'm offering up the last of my Neko prints as a way of saying thanks.

All donations $20.00 and above will receive the Neko print. All donations over $50 will receive the Neko print, as well as, a very special "Thank You" package from the studio filled with Zen Mystic love!

Stella thanks you from the bottom of heart for your kindness, as do her Mom and Dad.
