As soon as we got out of the car we saw Harry the Turkey stalking about, and he looked so much better too. The big soft swelling over his joint was completely gone,and his heavy limp has reduced to a slight 'saving' of one leg; he's moving about so much more easily. Paul said that he'd been chasing volunteers all weekend if he saw they were carrying food! He only started his remedies on Friday or Saturday so we are thrilled with his progress. Harry is on one remedy which was for the immediate pain and inflammation of his ankle and the other remedy he is on is part of a more long term plan to improve the quality of his bone structure and connective tissue which has been under so much pressure with his fast growth.
We had a lovely time visiting the cats again, and met the resident tortoise as well. It's difficult to find days free to make sure that we get a chance to go and see the cats and check the animals that are on remedies but we have had a brainwave! We've decided that next time we go we will do some reading and maths in one of the feral kittens' pens. This way we get some 'work' done and the kittens get some company as ferals really need as much human company as possible, to get used to being around people. I'm not sure whether it's genius or just completely crazy an idea to expect children to concentrate on maths in a pen full of cute kittens..?
Please visit Feline Care at www.felinecare.org.uk to see if you can help. They are doing great work fund raising but still need over £50,000 to reach their goal of £70,000 by October so they can buy the land on which the shelter stands.
