A precious soul left this world today… Our darling little Nutsy.

This pure and innocent little angel didn’t have a mean bone in her body, despite the sadistic cruelty she endured in her life before rescue. She was the embodiment of all things good and sweet.

A few natural branches, wet Lilly Pilly and some apple is all it took to make her content 🌿❤️‍🩹 Her feathers never regrew but she was beautiful regardless.

After some time, Nutsy joined our other lorikeets in the aviary and was able to fly, possibly for the first time in her life. From that time on, she was so happy, dancing and bobbing at every ‘hello baby’. The joy on her little face was so beautiful 🥲

Nutsy’s favourite things were bird baths, gentle showers, grapes, Pink Lady apples and being talked to lovingly. I’m so glad her last year was full of everything she loved.
⛲️🍇🍎🌿💦🚿

She brought us so much joy in her short time here at the sanctuary. It was an honour to know her and care for her. The guilt of not knowing what the hell happened is hard to bear. She was so healthy, energetic, a perfect weight. My heart is shattered and I have no answers. I can’t believe I won’t see her sweet little face in the morning.

Fly free my little darling, until we’re together again 💔🌈

❤️‍🩹 Update on Gabriel ❤️‍🩹
The blind Miniature Poodle puppy 🐕‍🦺

For those who don’t remember, we rescued sweet little Gabriel back in March ‘23, from a breeder who was threatening to put him down at only 5 weeks old, just for being born without eyes.

Getting him through the sudden change of being ripped away from his litter and mummy, without weaning, was quite a challenge. In the months following, he was always very scrawny and never that interested in eating, but, he beat all the challenges he faced and became a confident and happy little man in care.

Despite this, we had a little nagging feeling that he wasn’t ready for adoption and needed to stay in our care…

Well, boy were we right. The week before his 1st birthday, he suffered his first seizure. It was such an awful shock to wake in the middle of the night to find his little limp body violently seizing.

Countless tests and thousands of dollars later, we still had no real answers but a lot ruled out. His diagnosis…

Idiopathic epilepsy (or epilepsy with no known cause)

Under the loving care of SASH Neurologist Laura, this past year has been spent trialing almost every single medication known to treat epilepsy, and every safe combination of those medications, praying that the next cocktail of drugs would lessen the frequency of his seizures.

Currently, Gabriel has been having one seizure a week. He’s in the process of weaning off Zonisamide, which had side effects we didn’t like, and has commenced the newest drug we’re trialling, Keppra (in addition to his base Phenobarbital). It’s now 15 days since his last seizure, so once again, we have hope ❤️‍🩹

Despite every challenge this beautiful boy has had to endure, he is somehow still such a happy, playful and confident little man. He’s living proof that our disabilities do not define us.

Gabe recently celebrated his 2nd birthday! He got a new toy, was treated to all his favourite foods and was doted on, somehow, even more than usual haha

If you would like to support Gabe’s ongoing expenses and/or assist us with the massive bills we have yet to pay off from his MRI, CT scans, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection (ie spinal tap/lumbar puncture) and ongoing necessary blood tests, please see our donation details below. As always, we are an ACNC registered charity, every donation over $2 is tax deductible in Australia 🙏🏼

Thank you so much to Animal Rescue Cooperative (ARC) for this incredible donation of much needed items for our sanctuary animals!

Without their help with cat and dog food, kitty litter and beds, we simply could not continue to rescue vulnerable animals in need ❤️ We are so incredibly grateful!

‼️Urgent fundraiser for heart ultrasound‼️

Poor little Cromwell’s heart murmur has progressed in just 3 months ❤️‍🩹 Dr James is very concerned about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), so he urgently needs an echocardiogram to diagnose his heart defect and get him on the right medication. Unfortunately the cost of a heart ultrasound is $950

In the interim, we have started him on an antiplatelet medication (blood thinner) to lower the risk of blood clots and stroke… otherwise his heart is a ticking time bomb 💔

If you can spare anything for this sweet angel, we would so greatly appreciate it 🙏🏻 This is such a cruel disease and we desperately want to buy him as much time as possible - he’s only 1.5 years old and has just started to enjoy the stability and safety of the rescue 😔

‼️ STRAY CAT DUMPED OUTSIDE OUR RESCUE ‼️

This weekend we had a family walk to our rescue, with a sweet stray cat in tow, despite it already being explained to them that we didn’t have the space or money for another intake right now.

Nonetheless, 10 minutes before dark, the entire family rocked up with this darling cat trustingly following them, the little one so excited for the attention that he was making biscuits on the cold concrete - my heart broke when I saw this so I went back inside to get a towel and carrier, with no plan beyond that.

Since they gave us no warning or chance to advise them, kitty was now in an environment unknown to him and on high alert. As I went to pick him up with a towel, an ill-timed vacuum cleaner and visit from a neighbour pushed kitty into fight or flight and sadly he did both, attacking my arm and then fleeing.

This poor darling cat has now been left without the family he trusts, on an unfamiliar street.

I set a trap for him that night and when he finally emerged from the cul-de-sac to eat the food, he was chased by an off leash dog 😓

Tonight will be attempt #3 and I pray that he will soon be on a warm blanket making biscuits, instead of the ice cold concrete, with a tummy full of yummy food and safe from busy roads and predators.

It’s so unfair to be guilted into taking on more than we’re physically and financially able to; I’m at my absolute max with 42 animals in care and $2500 in vet bills yet to be repaid.

I’m overwhelmed but that anxiety and exhaustion is only surpassed by the sadness I feel for this poor sweet creature that is just so desperate for love and affection.

So here I am, praying that soon we have 43 in care 😔

If anyone can please help contribute, thank you 🙏🏻

‼️$200 urgently needed for eye-saving medication for Albus‼️ 🙏🏻

Clerapliq is $200 for a box of 5 pipettes ($40 per vial)

Albus’ eye is slowly improving but still on the verge of rupture. In these photos, you can see the large hole still present in the cornea.

Since Albus is already down to one eye, we desperately want to save what remains of his vision so that he will still be able to see the forever family that eventually adopts him ❤️‍🩹

Please help us with this expense. We’ve already spent $370 on this medication in the past month 😣

🚨RAJA UPDATE & FUNDRAISER🚨

Darling Raja, the beautiful Bengal boy, has thankfully fulfilled his mandatory holding period with us and can no longer be claimed by his useless owner who abandoned/dumped and neglected him - HE IS SAFE 🙌🏼

Raja is booked in today for his desexing, vaccination and FIV/FeLV testing and we urgently need funds please. Since his chronic diarrhoea has not improved post-worming and with a steady, high quality diet, we’re also beginning the investigation process, starting with a faecal float. Thankfully he has managed to gain around 400 grams and is now 3.05kg, still very poor but we’re thankful for any small improvements ❤️‍🩹

Please see below list of today’s costs, if you can help with any amount, we will be incredibly grateful, as our balance is in the red by approx. $2500 due to a number of unforeseen emergency rescue costs (more on that to come).

Today costs:
Castration - $80
F3 Vaccination - $55
FOV/FeLV test - $50
Faecal float - $65
Antibiotics - $45
Total = $295

‼️UPDATE & FUNDRAISER FOR ALBUS‼️

Sweet Albus made it through his dental extractions and enucleation but we’re still battling so hard to save his remaining left eye, with eye drops and ointments every 2 hours. Thankfully his pre-anaesthetic bloods were all perfect - he’s such a fighter 🙌🏼

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to this darling boy’s treatments so far, we’re so incredibly grateful 🙏🏻

We’re still short by $480, including the additional cost of the expensive eye treatment, Clerapliq, that we’ve needed to order to ensure he doesn’t lose his only eye ❤️‍🩹 This is an incredible medication that restores the matrix of the eye and prevents rupture.

If you’re able to donate, please see the below list of what he has had done. Any amount goes a long way ❤️‍🩹💫

$340 - Dental
$300 - Enucleation (eye removal)
$160 - Preanesthetic blood and IV fluids
$35 - Pain relief
$71 - Antibiotics
$330 - Clerapliq, 8 pipettes
Total = $1,236

‼️URGENT FUNDRAISER FOR ALBUS‼️

Poor Albus has spent the past 590 days in care, waiting patiently for his forever home and now needs emergency surgery.

He came into care on August 25th ‘22 in appalling condition with a portion of his right cheek hanging off; His right eye long gone, leaving only a socket.

Albus has been doing so well since then, bonding with his FIV brothers and loving life, until this past Easter long weekend…

On Saturday, Albus’ good remaining eye swelled shut, obviously causing him so much discomfort. We flushed the eye but could’t find the cause through the amount of inflammation of the conjunctiva.

At the same time, we noticed during his examination that his dental health had taken a sudden nose dive since his last dental check 3 months ago.

Albus is suffering severe dental disease requiring multiple extractions, including a broken canine tooth. Thankfully we’ve caught this before it started to affect his eating and body condition 🙏🏻

Albus is booked in for a grade 4 dental surgery and an enucleation to close his eye socket, a procedure that couldn’t be done at the time due to his infected facial injury (see last photos)

Please see the below list of what he needs. If you’re able to contribute any amount at all towards this bill, we would be so grateful 🙏🏻💫

$300 - Dental
$150 - Preanesthetic blood and IV fluids
$600-$800 - Enucleation (eye removal)
$35 - Pain relief
$45 - Antibiotics
Total = $1,130-$1,330

Please help us get him ready for his forever home, once more ❤️‍🩹

Dobby’s relentless love and infinite devotion will always break my heart 💔

There are not enough I love you’s or good boy’s in the world to quell his yearning for closeness.

How I wish I could make him believe how safe and cherished he is now.

All I can do is provide as much skin to skin and eye contact as I can possibly fit into a day. That’s his love language ❤️‍🩹
