Spoke to the vet this morning and she is doing great. They may take her cone off. They are going to start some acupuncture and electrical stimulation on the nerve to her bladdar. If she dosen't respond to those treatments they have 2 options.

Gino, man, you have a heart of gold. Gina is one very special lil kitty. For the rest of her life, will she remember that you have helped her??? You can bet your last dollar on that one.
That kitten did'nt asked to get hurt, if not for someone like Gino that cared about helping others and their well being, she probably would've died a slow painful death, something that none of us here would've wanted to hear about, let alone see happen.
IMO, any negative comments posted here are totally out of line. Negative comments were not ask for by Gino, and therefore in respect to him for all he has done, we should keep this post on a positive level. Afterall, this thread was posted to keep all of us that are interested in the healing of Gina, updated on her progress.
Even tho Gina is not a boating related topic, I want to thank OSO for keeping this thread up here where we all can follow it closely. Ya never know, Gino just may call his next boat "GINA"

Hey Gino...not to hijack this thread, but there was a weblink in my original posting last night...If you reach out to Rick at Puffy Paws, he may be able to help you find a great home for her...that is what he does is adopt out unwanted and abandoned kitties...GREAT GUY! If you call him and explain the situation, I know he'd be very happy to help you...His organization also happens to be in Florida...

wow, what a great thing with puffy paws!
my whole point in my post was we need to unite in what we do, it's cool to have and want different things, but as we have always done, lets unite against the thieves among us (dirt devil) and use our means for that. Lord knows I am outspoken on many things, but the people that know me know that I bend over backwards for them.
No one is not commending you for what you have done for her, but their will be people that see it different, ok, thats cool so lets move on. Realistically, An animals life has been changed by an act of kindness and if she is able to provide the same for a human family, who loses?
I personally think looking too deep into it and trying to justify it took over. But I have to say as a boater, I wouldn't be ashamed to have either one of you on my side, for the simple fact that regardless of the situation, you would both think logically and do what each of you perceived the right thing to do and weigh out the pros and cons.

Great day all around! The vet called us today at 4:45 to let us know Gina was able to pee on her own twice today. Our waiting has paid off. She will now be 100% normal. The surgey went grat and she is walking around without any issues.
Today I spent over an hour on the phone with the people from www.puffypawskittyhaven.com . What incredible people they are. They have over 150 cats and they never destroy an animal unles they are in severe pain and it's the only option. They take cats from all over, they have a lot of cats that are abused, abandoned, strays and hurt. They don't turn any away! They have another smaller attchment to the building for cats with Lukemia and Feline aids and other medical issues that need special attention (like Gina), those cats are not up for adoptions, they end up being their pets. I am very greatful to Moving to Miami for the referal!!
These people are completely non-profit. this is their passion. They are supported by donantions. I know quite a few of you offered to donate money for Ginas surgery. If you guys could send a donation to these people that do so much good, It would be much appreciated. I am going to help them on an on going basis.
They offered to take take Gina immediatly, even with her unrination problem. They actually have another cat with the same problem. Now that Gina is able to urinate on her own that will really make her adoptable.
Another few days in the vet to recover and Gina will be on her way. I'm very greatful how this turned out. If I would have taken another option that someone suggested, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life, wondering if I had made the right idea.

I'm glad everything worked out. If you were closer and I could adopt her, I'd try.
Gino I'm so glad you could help her out. I had a cat that died a couple of years ago that I adoped from KY. They didn't have any humane societies out there and she was such a sweet kitten that I brought her home. Even my mom, who hated cats, loved her. She was a great cat.
Anyway, enough rambling. Glad you could help out and I'm sure she appreciates it!

Thanks for helping the little critter!
Jay :-)
