Charlie at Hypurrcat
My dear Charlie was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. He has a tumor on his thyroid gland. I lost a cat to this awful disease a couple of years ago, and, when Charlie was diagnosed, I didn't think I could put him through what she went through. I prayed and prayed, stayed up all night, and researched this malady online. Dr. Mark Peterson's name kept cropping up. He discovered this disease, and is the premier animal endocrinologist in the country--and he's here in New York. He pioneered radioiodine treatment, which has a 95%+ cure rate, and is the only treatment that gets rid of the tumor. I knew this was the right thing to do for Charlie (I only wish I'd known about it for Miss Kitty). I didn't know how I would afford it; but God is faithful, and He gave me a miracle. Some government agency paid my entire rent this month (I didn't even apply for this), and part of next month's as well, and I suddenly got several dog-sitting jobs. Fully half of his treatment is paid for already. He is in the Hypurrcat spa, Dr. Peterson's hospital here in NYC, and it is well-named. He went in on Tuesday, got his treatment, and is coming home on Saturday. He has his own double kitty "penthouse". He (and the other kitties) have kitty t.v. (birds), and two large windows with bird feeders outside. He has lots of attention, a webcam camera that I am linked to so that I can see him 24--7, and they call me to report on him every day. And tonight I got an email letting me know that his pictures have been posted on Facebook. I would never have imagined that such a dreadful diagnosis would lead to such a wonderful experience. Dr. Peterson and his staff are amazing. I am so blessed.
