‼️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

‼️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 ❤️‍🩹

04/04/2024

This week, a lovely finder brought a young Dachshund puppy to us for safe keeping overnight, after finding him roaming earlier that day.

The finder had taken the puppy to be scanned at ARH Minchinbury that morning, where the vet advised that the puppy was bloated. Upon arrival at FAFSS, I noted that the puppy had diarrhoea, dried faeces on his tummy and in between his nails.

It was likely the puppy just had intestinal worms, but I also recognised that these are early signs of canine parvovirus and I took the appropriate precautions for the night: I wore gloves, kept him quarantined, used F10 and changed my clothes after handling the little one.

Considering the puppy was not microchipped, not registered, nor was he wearing an ID collar, we delivered the puppy to BARC the next morning, in keeping with NSW law.

By doing this, a local scanner said our ‘behaviour was disgusting’.

The potential owners didn’t post that he was missing until 2am that morning (15 hours after he was found alone). Once I saw their post, I commented that the puppy was now at BARC, provided the phone number to call, told them of the puppy’s bloating and diarrhoea and, as a vet nurse, advised them that he should be wormed and monitored for possible parvo.

Now, despite not actually being involved with this finder or puppy, a local scanner inserted herself and stated to her group members that:

- Our ‘behaviour was disgusting’
- We shouldn’t have taken the puppy to BARC
- ‘We should have relayed our concerns directly to the owner’, which we did, and,
- Despite not being a veterinarian, vet nurse or having any real medical expertise, stated outright that ‘there was NO risk of parvo’, while also admitting that the owner ‘just got him as a gift from another family member’.

To this scanner, let me clear a few things up for you:

- Firstly, canine parvovirus has an incubation period of 3-7 days, which you should already understand. What a potential owner tells you should never be taken as fact, which you should already realise. If the ‘owner’ only just received the puppy ‘from a family member’, you do not know its history. If you have not personally had your eyes on the dog for the past 3-7 days, you DO NOT know its history. So to state outright that there is absolutely no risk of parvo, despite potential early warning signs, shows your inexperience. As someone who transports dogs, you should be well aware of the early signs of parvo and take the appropriate precautions, however unlikely a positive diagnosis may be.

- Secondly, as a ‘rescuer’, if you are returning unmicrochipped, unregistered and undesexed animals to owners, you are complacent in the problem you claim to be fighting. You are doing the animals a disservice, allowing them to fall through the cracks, into the hands of backyard breeders, at risk of theft, exploitation and death if they get into an accident and have no registered owner to contact.

Our policy at FAFSS is to NEVER return unmicrochipped animals directly to the ‘owner’. If we find out who they are, we inform them of where they can collect their pet, and the animal leaves the shelter microchipped and registered.

- Finally, we would NEVER give an unmicrochipped, undesexed, purebred Dachshund puppy back to the person who just acquired the puppy ‘from a family member’. You should know by now that people can steal puppies and also be able to provide ‘photo evidence’ that would suggest they are the rightful owner.

In cases such as these, we have no interest in “speaking to the ‘owner’ directly”, only to be fed a story that is potentially untrue. If an animal is not LEGALLY in a person’s name and microchipped, that animal MUST go to the shelter for the safety of that animal.

Get your act together.

We hope this post will highlight the dangers of returning unmicrochipped, backyard bred animals to the people who have neglected their responsibilities as a pet owner in NSW, and we hope the ‘scanner’ in question learns a thing or two and applies these safeguards to her lost and found ‘business’.

After numerous vet visits and medications, little Cromwell’s nasty eye ulcer has finally healed! 🙏🏻

Tricen, Oculflox and Voltaren eye drops didn’t cut it, Dr James had to whip out the very expensive Clerapliq treatment that restores and regenerates the corneal extracellular matrix. After three days, the crater had healed over and he will forever have small scar to remember it by - thankfully that’s all!

Such a tiny little ulcer set us back over $400 🥴

Please welcome Chip to the sanctuary 🪿🤍

This darling little 5yo drake was regretfully surrendered to us this week, after it was no longer safe for him at his home with his family in Oxley Park.

Chip’s loving mum, Kerry, reached out to us last Saturday, hoping we could make room for him. Sadly, their street had become home to someone hoarding 20+ free roaming cats, making backyard life too dangerous for Chip. Kerry couldn’t bear keeping him locked inside his coop 23hrs a day, and the poor cats were also harassing him at night by trying to get inside his enclosure.

We picked up Chip on Monday and have been helping him come to terms with this huge change. Like dogs and cats, birds have just as much capacity for love and loss, so this is certainly a huge adjustment for him, as it would be for any animal.

Chip has quite a substantial limp that he has been suffering since he was a baby. We will soon be having him assessed by the wonderful avian vets at Canley Heights Veterinary Clinic, to see if there is anything we can do to make him more comfortable.

Thank you for trusting us with your baby Kerry, we hope to see you soon for a visit ❤️‍🩹

We’re pretty sure Nutsy mutters ‘I love you’ and ‘love you lots’. Can you hear it as well? 🥹

I’d give anything to know her history ❤️‍🩹

25/03/2024

Up close and personal with Nutsy today ❤️

How could anyone wish to hurt this dear little bird?!

Watch ‘til the end for some Lori tongue action 🤪❤️‍🩹

25/03/2024

‼️ Dumped like trash… Tied up inside a garbage bag and thrown into a bin, left to suffer an unimaginable death 🤬

This would have been Nutsy’s fate. Thankfully she was found by a lovely member of the public in a bin at Echo Point, Katoomba and driven to Nepean Animal Hospital. Thanks to Vet Nurse Emily for reaching out and delivering Nutsy to us, she is now safely in our care and slowly learning to bird again.

I cannot imagine what life was like for Nutsy before finding herself at the mercy of that evil person.

Nutsy is underweight and has obsessively plucked all the feathers from her chest, neck and underwings. Chronic plucking would suggest that she had been in distress long before being thrown into that bin.

Did her ‘owners’ not want her anymore? Was she let go and then found by someone even worse? We’ll never know but thankfully the RSPCA is investigating and hopefully CCTV footage will be found of the dumping.

Nutsy has started her month long quarantine but will need to be tested for Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD) before she can be introduced to our lorikeet aviary. Unfortunately this blood test is $300 but a necessity since her history is unknown.

If you can help us with this cost, we would be incredibly grateful. After a number of hefty vet bills this past fortnight, our emergency funds are completely gone. Thank you 🙏🏻

When the most precious little hand reaches out to touch you from under the blanket, you just have to take a photo to remember every perfect detail 🥹❤️‍🩹

Poor Cromwell is still battling his eye ulcer. He’s had a change in meds and we’re finally starting to see a hint of improvement 🙌🏼

Here he is having a break from his cone of shame, so he’s resting very comfortably. I’ll have to wake him in a minute to pop it back on for the night 🥲 Fingers crossed we can lose the e-collar this week!

🙏🏻 Gabriel’s Fundraiser 🙏🏻 $5850

We just wanted to put Gabriel’s SASH estimate in its own post; He’s being admitted tomorrow for MRI and spinal tap, CT and additional bloodwork 💔 Edit: he’s now being admitted Wednesday

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Gabe has not responded to his antiseizure medications, the convulsions are worse, occurring more often, lasting longer, taking longer to recover from and now happening in clusters (please see video in last post)

After Gabe’s initial CT scan of the head showed no real abnormalities and after no improvement on the medication, Dr James considered the possibility of a liver shunt, however all liver tests came back normal and he didn’t respond to the medication and diet that would normally be prescribed for a shunt.

With all ideas exhausted, we were referred to SASH Neurology and had our consult today.

Considering Gabriel was already born without eyes (congenital anophthalmia), Dr Laura has recommended a brain MRI and spinal tap to help diagnose the issue and give him the best chance of survival. She also wants to do another CT scan, this time of the liver, to definitively rule out a liver shunt or other liver disorder, and some additional blood tests…

$6066.92 😓

Gabriel has had such a tough hand dealt to him in life that we feel he deserves this chance…

From being bred by a backyard breeder and born without eyes, to being threatened with euthanasia because of his disability and then losing his mum at only 5 weeks because the breeder wanted him gone… Gabriel deserves all the time in the world to enjoy being loved and cherished.

If anyone is able to help with this massive bill that will be due tomorrow, we would be so grateful for any amount you can spare 🙏🏻

Gabriel Update 💔 Urgent Fundraiser 🙏🏻

This video was taken on Tuesday, it was Gabriel’s worst seizure to date and the second in what are now cluster seizures.

Poor little Raja has started passing all the intestinal worms infesting his body 🪱 Such a mess but I’m sure he will start feeling so much better once it’s over 💩

I’m slowly working at gaining his trust, though he’s still very timid and unsure - despite the bribery ❤️‍🩹

Please welcome Teddy ❤️‍🩹

This darling boy came to us on March 2nd after Moosub put out a post for help 6 days earlier. Moosub was able to contain him in his garage and Anne Bell from Campbelltown Lost Found and Injured Pets went to scan him and kindly delivered him to us 45 mins away.

Teddy has been diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), a cancer that eventually necrotises the muzzle. The same cancer that dear Fiona and Bambi suffered.

Unfortunately it is already too advanced to treat; neither resection, cryosurgery or radiation would be curative or even buy him enough time to warrant putting him through it.

Our plan for Teddy is palliative care ❤️‍🩹 Once he has completed his quarantine, we hope to place him with a palliative foster carer, so he can enjoy the time he has left with a wonderful family.

Teddy is incredibly loving and affectionate and loving all the yummy food he’s getting. He is an absolute joy to care for and I love him so much already. It breaks my heart that he has clearly been owned and now finds himself in this position.

We would be incredibly grateful for any donations to help with his palliative care. From fortnightly vet consults and medications, to special foods, treats and bedding, the costs really add up to make this time as special as possible ❤️‍🩹 Thank you 🙏🏻

Raja weighed in at 2.75 kg at the vet, he’s estimated to be 1-2 years old.

He has diarrhoea and blood in his stool. We’re starting him with subcutaneous fluids tonight to rehydrate him and Dr James would like to wait a few days to see if the worming treatments and a stable diet regulate his stools.

Fingers crossed this sweet boy bounces back quickly and there is nothing sinister going on.

Once he has healthy bowel movements, he will be desexed, vaccinated and FIV/FeLV tested ❤️‍🩹

Please share in the hopes that his ‘owner’ can be located. I would like to gently explain how irresponsible it is to allow an undesexed, unregistered young cat to roam on a busy street, amongst a population of cats riddled with cat flu and FIV.

For now, since Raja is legally a stray in the eyes of Blacktown Council, his microchip has been transferred to our rescue. Anyone claiming to own him must produce his original Permanent Identification P1A Form, showing his microchip number, within 21 days.

If you would like to help us with Raja’s care, we would greatly appreciate any donations 🙏🏻

‼️ STRAY CAT DUMPED OUTSIDE OUR 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 🙏🏻 Bank: Commonwealth Bank Name: FEATHER AND FUR STREET SAVE BSB: 062-410 A/C: 1070 1588 PayPal Giving Fund paypal.com/au/fundraiser/charity/4459924 Shout For Good (using PayPal/Apple Pay + Tax Invoice) https://s

Dobby ❤️

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 ❤️‍🩹

Bath time with some assistance ❤️💦🪿

We’re pretty sure Nutsy mutters ‘I love you’ and ‘love you lots’. Can you hear it as well? 🥹 I’d give anything to know her history ❤️‍🩹

Up close and personal with Nutsy today. How could anyone hurt this dear little bird?! 💔

Gabriel Update 💔 Urgent Fundraiser 🙏🏻

Gabriel Update 💔 Urgent Fundraiser 🙏🏻 This video was taken on Tuesday, it was Gabriel’s worst seizure to date and the second in what are now cluster seizures. Not only has he not responded to his antiseizure medications, the convulsions are worse: occurring more often, lasting longer, taking longer to recover from and now happening in clusters. After Gabe’s initial CT scan of the head showed no real abnormalities and after no improvement on the medication, Dr James considered the possibility of a liver shunt, however all liver tests came back normal and he didn’t respond to the medication and diet that would normally be prescribed for a shunt. With all ideas exhausted, we were referred to SASH Neurology and had our consult today. Considering Gabriel was already born without eyes (congenital anophthalmia), Dr Laura has recommended a brain MRI and spinal tap to help diagnose the issue and give him the best change of survival. She also wants to do another CT scan, this time of the liver, to definitively rule out a liver shunt or other liver disorder, and some additional blood tests… $6066.92 😓 Gabriel has had such a tough hand dealt to him in life that we feel he deserves this chance… From being bred by a backyard breeder and born without eyes, to being threatened with euthanasia because of his disability and then losing his mum at only 5 weeks because the breeder wanted him gone… Gabriel deserves all the time in the world to enjoy being loved and cherished. If anyone is able to help with this massive bill that will be due tomorrow, we would be so grateful for any amount you can spare 🙏🏻 Bank: Commonwealth Bank Name: FEATHER AND FUR STREET SAVE BSB: 062-410 A/C: 1070 1588 ***preferred as we can access instantly PayPal Giving Fund paypal.com/au/fundraiser/charity/4459924 Shout For Good (using PayPal/Apple Pay) https://shoutforgood.com/charities/feather-and-fur-street-save Facebook Either via the fundraiser on this post or t

🤎 Raja 🐅

Poor little Raja has started passing all the intestinal worms infesting his body 🪱 Such a mess but I’m sure he will start feeling so much better once it’s over 💩 I’m slowly working at gaining his trust, though he’s still very timid and unsure - despite the bribery ❤️‍🩹

Having the time of her life ❤️‍🩹💦

Trying not to spook Flora, she’s still terrified of me, but look at her having the time of her life in her makeshift pool - don’t worry, we have a large pool on the way 💙

‼️URGENT EMERGENCY FUNDRAISER FOR 11yo POTTER - $1,150‼️ Update: Over the weekend, darling Potter developed jaundice (yellowing of the gums) and is still refusing food and drink. His blood test results came back today and show that all of his liver functions are abnormal. We need to urgently get him an ultrasound ($750) to determine what is causing this and tomorrow he’ll be admitted to hospital for fluids, antibiotics and liver medication via IV. Our vet mentioned possible causes from a blocked bile duct to cancer etc. Unfortunately Potter was allowed to become overweight in foster care, so a complication from pancreatitis is also a possibility. Potter’s previous bloods were normal just 3 months ago, he is in perfect health in every other way. We hope you agree with our decision to fight for him and try to see him through this as the alternative is euthanasia. What’s even more bittersweet is he’s just found someone who wants to adopt him 💔 Please, please help us get to the bottom of this. Please help us save Potter and get him that forever home 🙏🏻❤️‍🩹 $750 Ultrasound $300 Hospitalisation, IV fluids/antibiotics and liver medication $100 Each additional day in hospital = $1,150 minimum Bank: Commonwealth Bank Name: FEATHER AND FUR STREET SAVE BSB: 062-410 A/C: 1070 1588 ***Please use direct deposit if possible, since we need the funds urgently.

Mrs Henrietta Goose is enjoying the hot day perks 💦🩵🌞 She has a pool, but since she’s spent her whole life in what, I can only imagine, was a very cruel and unnatural environment, she’s still very unsure about actually immersing herself in water. We’re taking that slowly and I’ll show you some of the pool progress we’ve been making soon ❤️‍🩹
