Baby Britney (and her littermates) were transferred to Pride on Monday from another rescue - we are closed to intake unless it is an emergency, and we could not turn away this poor little soul.
Suffering with a bite wound abscess on her head, which thankfully didn't reach her brain, tiny Britney was falling over, unable to walk, and laying in a posture that clearly indicated her discomfort, in addition to the bite wound, she had been stuck in a fence and hurt her little neck trying to escape. There a was deep concern that she had neurological issues based on her overall presentation and inability to keep herself upright. Britney was unable to eat on her own and was syringe and spoon fed for the first 48 hours in our care.
We got some pain control on board, in addition to the treatment she had been given prior to reaching our care, and thankfully, over the last few days we have seen a remarkable turn around.
Now jumping and climbing, eating on her own, yelling for attention and affection, we no longer have concern for neurological issues, she is quickly rebounding into a bright and beautiful little soul.
Britney and her siblings are only 7 weeks old, and it will be weeks yet before they can be spayed/neutered and made available for adoption, but we are thankful they are safe and sound and now in loving foster care where they can spend their time exploring and growing big and strong until they are ready to make the transition into loving Forever Homes.

THE SADDEST OF UPDATES

On Saturday, we posted a plea for help for a terribly malnourished, dehydrated and incredibly thin orange tabby boy, who we named Riley, unaltered and without a microchip, that had turned up earlier in the week at a Caledonia residence urgently in need of assistance - he went to our vet clinic for urgent and diagnostic care, and unfortunately, we have the saddest of updates.

Started on IV fluids and pain control immediately to help provide comfort and to rehydrate, an initial physical exam revealed an assortment external parasites and evidence of tape worms, and a mouth that was full of ulcers and bright red, painful gums, a tentative diagnosis of Stomatitis was reached. Additionally, a significant heart murmur was heard.
Blood was taken to test for FIV and Feline Leukemia, and this poor soul tested positive for both FIV and Feline Leukemia.
Urinalysis was taken, and additional blood profile and CBC revealed he had been suffering from anemia, and failure of both his liver and kidneys, with his blood cell count giving a clear indication of the oral bacterial infection he had been battling, and a possible indicator of additional internal infection.
An ECG was performed and additional blood testing confirmed a diagnosis of congestive heart failure.

Too weak, and with life-limiting heart complications, we have sadly had to make the decision to allow this poor soul to rest in peace.

Rest in Peace, Riley, may you find the light and love you so much deserve at the rainbow bridge.

Meet Cleo!
2 yrs Spayed/Female

A beautiful soul who is long overdue for her Forever Home, Cleo was rescued from a hoarding case, she raised a litter of healthy and beautiful kittens, who all found their Forever Homes, and Cleo has been patient waiting, for over a year, for it to be her turn. A beautiful, gentle and sweet soul who starts out a little shy Cleo warms up into a loving and attentive cat, who loves petting and adores being brushed, but who does not prefer to be picked up or held. Once she gets over her initial shyness, Cleo is an easy-going, warm and welcoming cat who loves to spend time with her people - she is an ideal fit for a more mature, adult home without a lot of hustle and bustle, where she can enjoy with you a quiet lifestyle and lots of love. As a cat born in the home of a hoarder and possible inbreeding, Cleo was born with some deformities to her toes, she under went some corrective surgery, but will require regular nail trims to ensure her little tootsies remain healthy and happy. Cleo does very well with most other cats, she is a gentle and calm presence and takes on a bit of a maternal role in many of her cat friendships, she is not a wrestler, but is a very sweet friend to another cat who needs a buddy - she would be a lovely fit for a home with an older cat who could use a gentle natured companion to pal around with. Cleo has been in foster care for over a year, since weaning her babies, and she has come to know many cats passing through, she is very well socialized with other felines, and makes friends with general ease. A sweet little lady, gentle, loving and so eager to be someone's special baby, Cleo sure hopes to meet her purrfect Forever Family soon!

Cleo has been fully vetted and vaccinated, she has been spayed and is fully recovered from the surgery on her paw.
An adoption fee applies.

If you have room in YOUR home and heart for beautiful Cleo, please submit an adoption application today at http://priderescue.ca/
