YOUR HELP IS URGENTLY NEEDED!
(UPDATED)
Our hearts just ache for this poor little soul who was found by a member of the public on December 29th, crying out in the rain, and given his condition, we felt we could not turn him away in his time of need despite being closed to intake at this time.
DONATIONS ARE URGENTLY NEEDED TO HELP JAMES!
Around 10-12 months old, but closer to the size of a 6 month old kitten, poor little James is terribly underweight, and is suffering from a horrible skin condition. Nose plugged with thick discharge, sneezing, running eyes and a disinterest in food, this poor boy is really being battered on all sides. With a dry and sparse coat, and a thick coating of cream-beige crumbly and crunchy debris in his fur and on his skin, as well as some moist, raw and broken skin, James is currently with our vet where skin scrapings have already been taken for testing.
Ringworm is suspected, as well as a secondary skin infection, and James is in isolation while we wait for test results. Bloodwork has been completed, and James is FIV+, but thankfully has tested negative for Feline Leukemia.
James is currently on IV fluids to help bring up his hydration and has been started on antibiotics for upper respiratory illness, and medications to stimulate his apatite have been given with the hope we can get him eating on his own as soon as possible despite the heavy load of nasal discharge.
**UPDATE** With the help of IV fluids to rehydrate him, and medications to reduce fever and inflammation, JAMES BEGAN TO EAT CANNED FOOD ON HIS OWN TODAY!
James has a lot of hurdles ahead of him, but eating on his own is an excellent first step, and will mean he is able to take on the nutrients he so urgently needs, and this is an excellent first step!
PLEASE HELP US HELP JAMES!
Poor James has a tough road ahead of him, he's got illness and infections to beat and a skin condition to treat before he can even be neutered, and his poor tired little body has weight and strength to gain, but we are hopeful with the help of our incredible vets that he will be able to overcome all of this to lead a happy and healthy life.

HOARDING CASE CATS UPDATE & PLEA FOR YOUR HELP!

Very shy, and very beautiful, Momma Mocha has been raising her adorable family in foster care - they were rescued from the recent hoarding case, and have needed some extra care and support - tiny kittens with upper respiratory illness are no joke, it is a very serious concern for tiny babies, and this litter was lucky enough to recover without any lasting damage.
Now 8 weeks old, the kittens have now had their first vaccine and Momma Mocha her booster, and while they still have a ways to go before they will be big enough to be spayed/neutered, they are thriving, growing, and are so very playful and happy in their foster home!
Stay tuned for adoption listings for Momma Mocha and her little ones!

WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP - HOARDING CASE - SICK CATS & KITTENS!
UPDATE & CLOSURE OF INTAKE
We have been able to rescue all 32 cats from this situation.
All 32 cats have been vetted, 2 cats remain in hospital care due to severe illness and 27 cats have been spayed/neutered, 4 cats have had eye removal surgery, 5 cats have been provided with extensive dental surgeries with 5-13 extractions each and we have sadly lost 3 kittens 8-12 weeks old despite hospitalization and critical care being provided, they simply were too weak and too sick to win their fights for life.
We have already invested over $14 000 to provide the care needed for the 21 cats we have been able to rescue so far.
DONATIONS ARE URGENTLY NEEDED TO HELP SAVE THESE LIVES!

PLEASE HELP US!
We are desperately in need of a miracle, and we are reaching out with a plea for assistance from the community to save the lives of a group of 30+ cats who have been living in hoarding conditions, many of the cats are very ill and are urgently in need of extensive care to save their lives.
Faced with being sent to animal services, these cats with above average needs as well as contagious illness, come with hefty price tags, which often means they are put to sleep rather than treated and helped to recover and we are desperate for help save these little lives!
DONATIONS ARE URGENTLY NEEDED FOR HOSPITAL CARE, SURGICAL CARE and SUPPORT!
We are already working to secure cats and kittens and are getting them to vet clinics for urgent care needs to be met - we are dealing with severe upper respiratory illness in a number of cats, with infected and damaged eyes, dehydration, malnutrition, and a host of parasite infestations, none of the cats are spayed/neutered so there are pregnant females and nursing families in need, and we desperately need the help and support of the community to be able to help these poor souls.
PLEASE HELP US SAVE THESE LIVES!
We are urgently in need of donations of funds to help with vet costs - if you are in the position to be able to make a contribution, please send your donation via e-transfer payment or PayPal to [email protected]
If you opt to send an e-transfer payment please use security question "What is the name of the rescue" and answer/password : priderescue
EVERY DOLLAR HELPS, NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL!
We are urgently in need of foster homes!
If you are located in the Hamilton area, have your own transportation and a room in which to isolate foster pets, please considering opening your home and heart to fostering -- without fosters to house and love the cats, we can not keep saving lives!
