Arrival Story:
Morgan was rescued by Save a Sato In Puerto Rico. They thought he had partial vision during his foster care, and I was asked to help find him a new home in the USA.
Morgan flew to the USA in February 2006, and was diagnosed with rare kitten diabetes, and rare juvenile bilateral cataracts. Being the only SAS volunteer in CT, we became his permanent foster family.
Bio:
When Morgan was diagnosed here in the states, his future seemed very dim. The words complicated case, and not a normal life were repeated over and over.
But thanks to an incredible Vet - Dr Nero at the Cat Clinic in Danbury, CT who believed in Morgan, he's beaten all the odds against him.
He's made amazing progress, he gets stronger and healthier every day.
Morgan just had rare cataract surgery at Cornell Veterinary School on January 17, 2007. His eyes are clear, bright and shiny. He is finally almost healed and becoming something we never realised he wasn't - a normal cat.
He loves to play with his siblings and his toys now, lounge in the sun, and for the first time in his life watch the birds.
Morgan will be 2 years old on 09/08/07 - it's a huge celebration! He's survived all the odds against him, thrived and become an amazing happy cat.
Morgan is a true miracle!

Meows My Friends! Thank you so furry much for all the Gifts & Well Wishes! You are the best friends a Pirate could ever have!
I've been back home since Monday night, and I am still not feeling my true Pirate Self. I am still only nibbling food,and have missed a few of my insulin shots because of it.
Mom & the Doc decided it was ok for me to try a new Dry Kitty Food called Evo Chicken & Turkey for Cats & Kittens. It's lower carbs than even the prescription foods for diabetic kittys. Mom was all excited for me - finally I could have KIBBLE, and she thought for SURE I was going to be happily munching away. Nope - I nibbled a little - but not much.
Mom & Dad have been opening all kinds of cans trying to get me to eat - I don't even want my favorites - Fancy Feast Medleys.
Tomorrow I am going for a Sonogram - hmm - I thought they only did them on pregnant ladies - but I guess they also do them on sick little Pirates?
Tomorrow is also the Doc's day off - so Mom called back and said - How will this work? The Doc is giving up his day off JUST FOR ME!!!!!!!!! That's why he's Dr Nero, My Hero! He loves me as much as my pawrents do and he really wants me to get better.
Mom is doing a Morgan's Bed Raffle to help pay fur my expensive bills until I get better. And today we found out that our special friend Samoa is also doing an Auction fur me!
The Information for the Morgan's Bed Raffle is here:

Thank Mew SO much for everything! I cannot tell you how much everyone's support means to this little Pirate!
Purrs & Love
Morgan the Pirate Gato
Comments from Mom: Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! It's been a really scary month with Morgan - I know he's unique, and sometime medically makes no sense, but this has really been scary. I am praying they can find out some answers tomorrow with the sonogram. Right now for the first time - he is eating like MORGAN - inhaling his food! Meanwhile, he nibbled his breakfast, and nibbled his lunch.

Meows from the Cage without a View. I am still here at the Kitty Spa, and all is quiet.
Luckily I have the Doc's password, so I'm using his laptop again.
I am still not feeling my Pirate Self, but I am feeling better.
I refused to eat again on Saturday, and I have the famous Dr Nero, My Hero stumped. I didn't get my shot, which was fine with me, and my sugars were in the 400's. Dr Nero took another X-Ray and when Mom called he hadn't read it yet.
Mom & Dad have been furry worried - because a day without food, and I should have been trying to eat the humans! Being the Pirate that I am, and liking to remind them of that, I sat in my cage chuckling about it.
They tossed and turned last night, worried how I was doing through the bad Thunder Storms. Me? I slept like a baby lamb. I woke up ravenous, and decided to eat the food they left in my cage. Nothing like a Midnight Fancy Feast snack!
This morning Auntie JJ came in to feed me, and I was my loveable, ravenous, purring Pirate Self. Stealing her heart, and making her snuggle & kiss me. (The parents of course were freaking out - not knowing how I was doing!)
Finally Auntie Terry called Mom and told her I was doing better, I even ate breakfast so I got my first shot since Friday. She told Mom I was being a snuggle, and more my debonair handsome self, which was a HUGE relief for her!
Since I cleaned out my medical account in the last month with all of my "Morgans", Mom is doing a Morgan's Beds Raffle for me. The details are on the Facebook Morgan's Beds Fan Page. Or feel free to paw mail me.
Willow is doing a good job on the Buzzin Into Spring Contest - which is being extended. With all the Catster Changes, and me being sick we want every fur to have a chance to enter.
I'll keep you updated on how I am feeling.
