Frankly, it's been more of a challenge to find a proper internet connection to post updates than to buy the cats' needs.

BUT FINALLY.

This update is to showcase the recent purchases I made for the cats! (I feel so rich buying all these (╥﹏╥) even though it's not my money haha).

These are all WAY out of my budget, so it's really all thanks to the people who supported this fundraiser!

First, their e-collars!

I bought one for each of them, with the design around the neck area to be made of a soft, foamy material for their comfort.

It was quite a hurdle to make them get used to the e-collars at first. Kyu kept putting one of her front legs through the collar so I had to adjust the cones to prevent this. It was also funny to see Nana walking backwards when we first put the cone on her. Too bad we weren't able to take a video!

Currently, they are now comfortable and used to the e-collars! The two cones costs PHP 340 (around 7 USD).

Next, their very own cage!

I bought the large sized one where they can stretch, sleep, and walk around comfortably, both at the same time. I temporarily put a large, thick towel as their sleeping mattress because the pillow and bed that I ordered online for them haven't arrived yet.

The cage is collapsible and has two openings, one at the top and the other at the side. It has a double lock feature to make sure they won't be able to open the cage and escape unnoticed.

The cage costs PHP 1,550 (around 32 USD). The material making up the cage is lightweight yet very sturdy, and easy to clean!

And I was finally able to buy them their little food bowl (the blue one)! Before all this, we were feeding them using empty containers of ice cream. Sadly, the store didn't have other shapes available for the food bowl.

*I can't find the picture of the food bowl, I'll post it later. Sorry!*

This is the digital receipt for my purchases:

It still bugs me that everything is labeled as products for "dogs" and not just a general term like "pet", but oh well, what can you do?

Anyway, my total purchase that day (5th of November) was PHP 1,850 (around 39 USD)! I got a little discount from the store 😅

AND THEN.

On November 8, eight days after their spay operation, Kyu needed a checkup as she was able to remove her stitches! I woke up seeing the condition of her operation area MISSING SOME STITCHES so as a first time cat owner, I had her scheduled for a vet appointment.

The doctor examined her and prescribed us an extension and additional dosage of the antibiotics. But overall, she was FINE.

Thank GOD!

The checkup cost was PHP 150 (around 3 USD). It was by our local non-profit organization, BACH Project.

Today, on the 13th of November, we went to a private veterinarian to have their stitches officially removed. I also made Nana and Kyu have their ears cleaned.

Our next adventure to the clinic will be on the next update!

Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who supported this fundraiser!

Take care! ♡ฅ'ω'ฅ♡
