I cannot believe the call I just receieved. After many days of receiving no contact from Mayor's Alliance nor Kitty Kind I thought they dropped the issue. Boy was I wrong.
Kathie informed me how Mayor's Allience wants the cat back from me and is trying to make a case of improper care of Leo from me. She said that they are concerned about him "being drugged" and that Siobhan has told Jane Hoffman only bad things about me and the care he is receiving while under my care.
The representatives of Mayor's Alliance seem to forget that they turned Leo over to Kitty Kind to have Leo adopted and that Leo was legally adopted to me.
Jane Hoffman has only heard one-side of the story from her employee who has been nothing but unfprofessional and innapropriate from the start.
Poor Leo. All THOSE people care about is that I have the facts behind me to show the negligence of his care while in their hands and that I can expose them. Therefore they want to go after me.
Here are the facts again:
Siobhan never disclosed to me that she worked for Murray Hill Hospital.
Siobhan never disclosed to me that before going to Kitty Kind Leo lived in a cage for three weeks at Murray Hill Hospital.
Murray Hill Hospital bungled and botched a standard procedure, his neutering. By the night I received him into my home his "scrotum" (now gone) was so swollen the area was the size of two golf balls full of BLOOD. The wound began to leak BLOOD so much so that it appeared it was coming from his rectum as well.
After only having Leo for one night I had to rush him to the emergency vet because Leo vomited all night and could not hold down food and the blood coming out of his botched neutering. The Vets told me that this was probably caused by him feeling so sick from the neutering that was done incorrectly.
Let's just stop here for a moment. Murray Hills Vets which incorrectly performed a stanadard and routine operation of neutering so badly that the cats "balls" were the size of golf balls went COMPLETELY UNOTICED. He went out for adoption in this manner.
Yet, I am being accussed of improper care and drugging a cat because THEY DID NOT OBSERVE THE BEHAVIOR I HAVE CLEARLY SHOWN THEM HE EXHIBITS DUE TO A MEDICAL CONDITION DIAGNOSED AFTER LEAVING THEIR CARE.
To me they only prove my point: It is they who have been negligent as they didn't observe their botched neutering, swollen wound and blood pooling up in the area and they who didn't properly observe him, test him and let him go undiagnosed for FHS.
I cannot believe that me, the person who was willing to take a cat "with a neurological tick" (since that is all that was disclosed to me) and who observed all I have, and who was BEGGED verbally on the phone on the way to the emergency Vet to please keep Leo and not give up on him are now from the very same people being accused of improper care and drugging a cat. This from the same people who could not see the physical signs of their BOTCHED neutering.
I cannot believe I am in the position of having to defend myself and the care I am giving to Leo. I cannot believe that the videos I took to show proof of the physical behaviors and signs of FHS is being used against me.
Why did I take those videos in the first place? Because I was being called a liar by Siobhan. I was verbally being accused of lying about the symptoms just to get medication to "get the kind of cat I wanted". So silly me! I thought that showing video proof of what was happening to Leo would obsolve me of being called a liar.
Instead the video is now being used against me and I am being accussed of causing the symptoms Leo has and being told he is behaving this way because he doesn't like me or my home.
So not only are licensed Vet's who have admitted they have not seen the behavior while in their care, trying to make a diagnosis, which is illegal to do, they are also trying to make a psychological diagnosis on Leo as well as me. The same people who couldn't see the MISTAKE THEY MADE WHEN THEY BOTCHED HIS NEUTERING AND SENT HIM OUT FOR ADOPTION ANYWAY!
Perhaps the Veterinary licensing board should look into the negligence of the doctors at Murray Hill and consider revoking their license to practice medicine. It seems clear to me that they are giving improper care and letting a lot of diagnosises go unchecked and animals leave their care without proper medications and care.
While under my care, Leo is exhibiting much progress. He is able to concentrate on playing with his toys, eat his Innova cat food, sleep in bed with me or on the couch which he loves. He has a favorite window that he can see for miles, with trees and birds to watch and listen to. His aggressive symptoms that are standard for cats with FHS have lessoned significantly.
As I posted earlier, I have witness the skin rippling now, which is extremely common with these cats and helps Vets to solidify their diagnosis of animals with this condition.
FHS is diagnosed when all other possible diseases such as cancer or viral diseases have been ruled out. Since Mayors Alliance paid for his CAT scan and spinal tap and the Vets released him to me stating he is cleared of all other possible diagnosis for his neurological condition it is entirely appropriate according to the medical literature on FHS to diagnose Leo with this condition.
From my call with Kathie of Kitty Kind tonight, it appears to me, and she has admitted verbally to her, that the Mayors Animal Alliance is trying to build a case against me and wants to try to remove Leo from my home and care.
So I am calling on you to please write letters on my behalf and on Leo's behalf about the improper care he received while under Murray Hill's and Siobhan's watch.
Leo is my little boy. I do not trust those organizations to take proper care of Leo. I have followed the orders of my Vet and he has received nothing but love and proper medical care from me. I am completely baffled that I am being put in this position.
I do not want to expend my energy fighting these people. But if forced to I will do it. I will win and they will lose.
What the representatives of Mayors Alliance is doing to me at this point constitutes harrassment. If they continue to move forward in this fashion I will present the FACTS and prove that they harrassed me. And I will win. And once I win I will then take them back to court and sue them for harrassment of me should they force me to take it this far.
Siobhan, none of this needed to happen and it is you who is hurting an animal by how you continue to push for a case against me. Shame on you! Leo was born with a mental illness in his brain. Under my diligence and care, he has been properly diagnosed and is on the proper protocal. Your vengence for me seems to be more imporant to you than the fact that he is happier and healthier today under my care.
All I ever asked of you Siobhan was to honor your word and committment to me to help pay for the medications which was your offer to me as you pleaded for me to please keep him. I never asked for the financial help. YOU OFFERED IT TO ME. It's time for you to put your ego in check and admit what you did was improper and that you are making this personal rather than providing the financial aid you offered me, to pay for the proper medical care, which your organization misdiagnosed under your watch.
Enough is enough.
To my blog readers: thank you for reading all the long posts. Please see the post below with the address to write to the Mayor about this situation. Please ask other animal lovers to write to the Mayor as well about this situation. Please tell them what you think about how Siobhan handled herself and represented the organation she works for. Please tell them how Leo should not be removed from my care and the only stable home he has ever known.
Thank you for all your help.

Hi
a number of people have recently complained to the attorney of similar situations with KK and Mayor's Allilance.
Please email me ASAP at jsm55@verizon.net
Bottom line: you adopted this cat from KK and its their adoption papers you have. Apparently the Mayor's Alliance backs KK up as they did in my court case.
What was the name of the adoption rep who told you there was nothing wrong with the cat? Did Leo have an intake number?
As a reference my website can be very helpful to you:

It clearly shows their Modus Operandi
You need to write to the Attorney General as well and their address is on my website. The Attorney General oversees all Non Profit organizations.
Good luck
