UPDATE ON NEWEST COLONY OF COMMUNITY CATS

We had reached out asking for donations of tote bins to make shelters for a new colony of community cats we had taken on about a month ago now, and we have been hard at work to help these cats too, despite our very full hands with the current hoarding case of many sick cats and kittens.

With the help of your donations of tote bins, we have been able to make and install 15 insulated, straw filled, comfy shelters for this group of cats!

We have also been at work trapping and spaying and neutering, vaccinating and microchipping the cats - and pictured here are two kitites who has been able to say GOODBYE to street cat life!
A kind neighbour was willing to provide a Foster Home for Bronte and Brooke, who are such adjusting to foster care so well - Bronte (black) is a little on the shy side, while Brooke (black & white) is really quite social and laid back, and this pair of approx. 6 month old cuties is thought to be siblings, they certainly are very good friends!
Now spayed and neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped, these little darlings will be made available for adoption in the new year after they have completed their full parasite treatment protocols.

Now neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped, these handsome guys will be made available for adoption in the new year after they have completed their full parasite treatment protocols.

WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP - HOARDING CASE - SICK CATS & KITTENS!
UPDATE & CLOSURE OF INTAKE
We have been able to rescue 28 of 32 cats from this situation so far.
All 28 cats have been vetted, 4 cats remain in hospital care due to severe illness and 22 cats have been spayed/neutered, 2 cats have had eye removal surgery, 3 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 $10 000 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!
Our intake of new animals/cases will now be closed until 2025, we simply can not cover the costs of care for any more animals, and we are desperately working to rescue the final 11 cats from this situation.
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.

HOARDING CASE CATS UPDATE & PLEA FOR YOUR HELP!

THANK YOU to Nora for providing a safe and loving foster home for V***n!
Among the first of the kitties to be rescued from the hoarding case due to her severe illness, we were pretty sure that little V***n was going to lose her eye due to infection, but thanks to great care at the vet clinic and the dedicated attention and attention to detail of her foster mom, little V***n's eye has been saved and has almost fully recovered from the severe infection she arrived with. While still a little 'squinty' at times, V***n's eye is clean, dry and healthy with no apparent damage to her vision. V***n is due to be spayed soon, and will need a bit longer than average recovery time since she also still has some weight to gain and muscle mass to develop, but this little beauty is now well on her way to wellness, and she is such a little sweetie!
We will keep you posted on little Miss V***n, and will look forward to posting an adoption listing for her in the near future!

HOARDING CASE CATS UPDATE & PLEA FOR YOUR HELP!

THANK YOU to Sonia for providing a foster home for this sweet trio of sisters who have had such a struggle in their short lives. Quick sickly when rescued, Narnia, Narissa and Nile are all underweight and suffer from stunted growth due to the hardships they faced, they currently range in weight from 5 to 6 lbs and are estimated to be about 10 months old. Treated for severe upper respiratory illness, all 3 of these sweeties have now been spayed and are recovering in their foster home where they will need a few more weeks to complete parasite treatment protocols and to gain some more body weight and muscle mass before they can be made available for adoption.

ABANDONED, RESCUED, LOVED...

Lucy and her 6 kittens were left behind in an apartment that was vacated on December 1st, and were discovered in the closet of the empty apartment, with empty food and water dishes, and their dirty litter pan on December 6th when a super-intendant entered to do an inspection.
Lucy's kittens are about 5 weeks old, 3 of them seem to be thriving, while 3 of them are struggling with lower body mass and poor body condition. Lucy is suffering with low milk supply, and it is thought that this family went several days without access to any food or water leading to a more pronounced decline in the 3 smaller, weaker kittens.
Lucy and her kittens are in general good health (not suffering any specific illness) despite their neglect, the babies are nursing as well as eating Royal Canin Mom & Baby Cat canned mousse, and Momma Lucy has a fantastic apatite for both her canned and dry kitten food.
With a steady supply of healthy food, access to fresh water and lots of love, with a little time Lucy's babies will grow up big and strong! Lucy and her babies will remain together in foster care until the whole family can be spayed/neutered (when the kittens are approx.. 12 weeks old assuming they gain and grow at a normal rate), and after some recovery time the whole family will be made available for adoption.

Lucy and her kittens would very much appreciate donations of Roayl Canin canned and dry kitten foods to help ensure they are getting the best possible nutrition now that they have been rescued.
Please consider making a donation from our Amazon Wish List here :https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/1COCFRB5FGJ11/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1

Thank you to Victoria and John (the super-intendant) for fostering Lucy and her babies, and for helping to save these little lives!

Stay tuned for updates on Lucy and the babies!
