Harry and Penny went home with Luesa, a friend of Lora’s on December 15th and won her heart quickly. Click on image to embiggen.
Luesa and Lora had talked about looking after each other’s cats if either died at the beginning of the pandemic, but Luesa’s 20 year old cat was succombing to kidney failure and died the second week of December, so Luesa was too preoccupied with caring for her and grief to reach out sooner about Harry and Penny at the rescue I had found for them. However, it was the perfect time for Harry and Penny who had time to get full health exams and profiles and treatments for what was needed. And under Carrera’s care at Feline Friends of Sammamish, they had some time to recover from their trauma and ailments and were just at a point where they needed to be fostered or adopted to be in a home with a human they could interact and snuggle with on their own terms to progress in healing. And that’s exactly when Luesa called the rescue to come visit Harry and Penny.
They’re doing wonderfully under Luesa’s care and the love is mutual. It’s everything for them Lora could have wanted. And it’s very cool it is a home and carer Lora preapproved. I wasn’t expecting that at this point. It was better than we could have hoped for.
Penny’s nose scrape is almost all healed up and Harry’s fur is filling out. Luesa has been taking them to her own vet since she does not live in Renton, but Max at the rescue is still picking up the bills for their care, so your donations are still covering Harry and Penny’s care. You have helped here and we are grateful. Although happy in his new home with his beloved Penny, Harry is not out of the woods yet. He’s still losing weight. On his second FeLV test he tested negative, but they’re going to give him a PCR test for FeLV to be absolutely sure it is a rule out in trying to determine why he is still losing weight.
I’ll update you when we know anything. But know Harry and Penny have been spending the holidays and cold and snowy days in a warm and wonderful home and well loved and all your well wishes have been fulfilled. It’s all worked out as well as possible for them. I only wish I could show all the pics of them acclimating and growing comfortable in their new home to Lora.
Luesa is not in Tolkien fandom, but she was with Lora when Lora got the books for Lori’s memorial printed and Lora shared some pics of the fandom with her at that time, so she knows about this part of Lora’s life and how we fit in. And she’s a wonderful cat mom I’m enjoying getting to know. If you’re on FB, you can see her posts on Harry and Penny on Lora’s timeline. So if you have any questions about Harry and Penny, feel free to ask me and I’ll get the questions to Luesa, or contact her directly on FB.
So here’s a bunch of pics Luesa has taken of Harry and Penny since they came to live with her in their new furrever home. Click on them to embiggen and enjoy. Happy New Year and I hope Harry and Penny’s happy new year is the comfort to you as it is to me as we grieve our loss of Lora.

Luesa is a really a wonderful mom to them. She’s been trying different foods with Harry and may have solved his weight loss. He’s finally gained a half a pound with one that seems to be working. Crossing my fingers on it.

My Smokey kitty was losing weight. He has recurring pancreatitis plus thyroid disease. I give him a thyroid medication twice a day. He gets an antibiotic shot every few months. He also gets Floriflora sprinkled on his wet food once a day to counteract the antibiotics effects. I also give him 2.5mg of pepcid ac twice a day because he suffers from vomiting.
He's actually gained a little weight. My vet said I'm a miracle worker because cats weights can be stabilized but they seldom gain weight.
Just thought I'd share that in case it might help Harry.
