Good morning!

A decision has been made, I know this must give you some relief! Sewing the arm of the onesie is exactly what is done. Sally gave you those pawsome links, they will be very helpful. I tried shredded newspaper for Huck, it was kind of a flop but remember he was a feral cat that was just learning the whole litterbox thing to begin with!

She may or may not take to the yesterdays news. Worlds Greatest is what we use here, and Huck ended up using that. There are others that have also used regular litter and did ok, just need to watch the incision. If you have a short box, like the kind that holds a case of canned goods for instance, and you line the bottom with newspaper you can reuse it. She may need a box with a lower entry on one side. She will very likely need some assistance in the beginning. Pee pads can be helpful in case she has an accident while she is laying down. They will help to save her bedding, your rug, floor, etc. I got some from Amazon that were large and I used them to line the crate that Huck was in. They were a lifesaver. 

If they let you, take an old soft shirt, like a tshirt and wear it for a day. See if you can send that with her. Your scent on the tshirt will help to comfort her if they allow it. Without covid it would not have been an issue, now I do not know. 

She may do just fine with the tshirt. There are soft cones too. Depends on how she is. You don't want her ripping that incision open. 

Getting some jarred baby food meats, stinky canned kitty food, a variety may be very helpful to have on hand. The anesthesia and pain meds can mess with their appetite. It is important to keep them hydrated. Bone broth, low sodium chicken broth can be good to have on hand too. I got the Senior Delectables Squeeze Ups for Huck and he still loves those to this day. If they do not drink enough it can hurt them. If she even eats the wet food it is about 80% water so she will be getting some fluids. 

I need to get ready for work. I will be back later to check in.

Hugs,

Jackie and Huck
