Little Adam’s skin graph surgery goes well

Last night when I wrote about Adam, I wasn’t aware that the skin graph surgery they had scheduled for the little guy for today had been pushed up to yesterday. Here is the good news from the Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County website:

Dear Friends: Adam’s surgery was pushed up a day, so he is now recovering from the skin graph which occurred yesterday, Monday 7/23. Normally the night after surgery is very difficult for him, but this time he did very well. In fact, he was up and running around so much that Dr. Leavey, one of the vets at Animal Hospital of Cotati had to get him to settle down. Today he is sleeping and recovering nicely.

Because of the change in surgery schedule, we were unable to take Caesar and Sarah, his two rescuers, to visit Adam last evening. Instead, we went to Caesar’s house and delivered the thank-you cards, gifts and e-mails received from all over the country. He is quite overwhelmed at the attention his seemingly small act of kindness has generated. Five members of the Forgotten Felines staff, Sarah and I sat at a picnic table outside Caesar’s front door and visited with him, his little sister, and two of his friends, Omar and Oscar. We explained to him that thousands and thousands of people are aware of what he did for Adam and even though it may not feel like it to him, Adam’s story and what he did to save him has spread literally all over the world. (We had an e-mail this morning from folks who read about Adam’s story in Brazil.) At one point I said to Caesar “You are really a great guy…” and one of his little friends, Omar, reached over to Caesar, put his arm around him and said “Yes, he is.” They were truly proud of their friend and happy he was receiving so much recognition.

Letters from all over the world are pouring in to the Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County in support of Adam, and to thank Adam’s rescuers, and everyone involved in helping Adam recover. If you’d like to drop the FFSC a line via email, you can do so using this address: ffscjk AT sonic DOT net (of course, replacing the “at” and “dot” with @ and .). Or if you’d prefer to send a snail mail, here’s the address:

Make sure either in the email subject line or on the front of the envelope, you reference Adam somewhere on it.

Keep on keeping on, Adam!
