⚕️‼️BEAR MEDICAL UPDATE & URGENT MEDICAL FOSTER REQUEST!
📍 Toronto, ON

**Currently at for the weekend while we search for a medical foster home.

Our sweet old FIV+ Bear needs an immediate medical friendly foster home - apartment or bungalow required. When I posted before, there were a few issues that I didn't really address. Since then, they seem to have not all resolved themselves. So, we're gonna address them now because he needs a special foster home to meet his current needs.

First, good news - Bear's mouth post-dental surgery, has been healing well.🙌🏻 (Not shared prior, but also good news) - His neck that became raw & inflamed due to some excessive drooling, has since healed nicely as well.👏🏻

Unfortunately, the pressure sore on his back foot has not healed & in fact, looks a bit worse & has gained a friend called early pressure sore number two on the same foot. Bear also has what appears to be another pressure sore on his front leg that has some scabbing & looks not so nice. The photos don't do either more advanced pressure sores justice as they are both quite swollen & very tender. Some medical honey is being applied to the worse sore on the bottom of his foot.

On top of this, he has been pooping once every three days & he's lost some weight. We are trying a couple different things, including increased food intake & watering his food down as he doesn't appear to be a huge water drinker. We've ruled out some concerns & we'll monitor to see how he does over the weekend.

His temporary foster home, has been so loving with him & we are so grateful for the care. With their own very full plate, it makes meeting Bear's needs difficult & is no longer the right fit for his current medical needs. Ideally, he needs someone home to monitor him, help keep his wounds clean, & encourage movement or change of position, as he's been playing "statue" which isn't helping his pressure sores heal. He is on medication for his arthritis & takes it with his food. Bear's a very wary, scared and quiet guy who just needs someone to keep working on trust building with him.

⚕️LEMMIE MEDICAL UPDATE

Some of you might remember that Lemmie had not long ago, visited Beaches AH vet for this boo-boo on her nose and got some antibiotics to see if that might help clear it up. To our disappointment and concern, it never really cleared up. Instead, it grew back.

Lemmie saw our vet on Thursday to originally look at doing some blood work for a fungal test, but upon exam in person, he felt concerned at its continued growth, shape and that when touching it, it would bleed at the base. A biopsy was recommended which covers a broader spectrum of possible diagnoses as we are also concerned about the possibility of cancer. Lemmie stayed at the clinic and her biopsy was done yesterday. She did well during her procedure and now we wait for the results.

For those of you who don't know, Lemmie lived her life on the streets until she was brought inside by her feeders. They sought out rescue placement for her and have been her loving foster parents ever since. She was diagnosed FeLV+ in her senior years, but thankfully, it is regressive and has remained dormant for a long, long while now. She has dealt with autoimmune issues along the way that have had us on a roller coaster ride for a while, but then settled and all has been right in her world, with the exception of this thing on her nose.

Lemmie is such a lovely little girl. Often, it saddens me that these sweet and loving medical kitties get overlooked for adoption. Then I figure, there's gotta be a reason. And there usually is.

I know the holidays are fast approaching. I'm gonna be honest, we're entirely behind in planning our holiday auction despite having some really awesome items. I continue to worry about our funding as our medical bills are sky high once again with no end in sight anytime soon. I'll be working on getting our last basket fundraiser done so the winners can pick up their baskets - life has just been quite hectic and our priority has been trying to find homes for those in immediate need of moving and medical visits. This doesn't mean our expenses stop even if I fall behind with the fundraising. If you can spare something - anything - Lemmie, Bear, Louie, Sully, Hollyberry, and everyone else who rotates thru our partner vet clinics or those who need food support, etc ... THANK YOU for helping to ensure their needs are always met.💜

TUX AND HERCULES (& PEACHES) - Chiropractor time!

We haven't posted their sessions in a while, but Tux and Herc have been seeing their chiropractor, Dr. Feldman every couple of weeks and it's been making a difference for them. Tux is feeling looser as his muscles, especially in his back end, were quite tight originally. Hercules, has actually managed to start climbing up on the sofa with minimal support! It's not happening as often as he once used to do, but the fact that it's happening at all, is just huge! 😄😸🐶🎉

Peaches, Tux's wife, always joins us on our appt. trips. She doesn't like being left out of anything. She's actually managed to score her own mini-sessions of massage and pretend adjustments because she just needs to feel included in everything.😆 And she doesn't even have to pay for it! What??? I mean, just don't tell her that it's either our chiropractor just giving her some love and attention or it's me giving her a neck rub and back massage on the "table" or the floor - don't tell her I'm not certified. I mean I might be certifiable🤣🤪, but I'm def. not certified in massage or chiropractic care. Still, if it makes Peaches happy, who are we to stand in the way?🩷

If you'd like to sponsor a chiropractor session for Tux or Hercules, just send your e-transfer of $35 to [email protected] and note who you would like to sponsor.

**COURTESY POST** for Humane Society of Greater Niagara - contact [email protected] to find out more about this pair.

We were contacted by the Humane Society of Greater Niagara, asking for placement space for this sweet bonded senior duo, Lydia and Byron, whose person passed away recently, and then found themselves surrendered into the shelter system. They are not thriving and poor Lydia is continuing to lose weight due to feeling so stressed.

Normally, we would not hesitate to welcome this duo into our Random Rescuer family, but we are struggling to afford our current expenses as it is. Without regular gifts of support to keep our bills paid and our head above water, it's impossible to help other cats, like Lydia and Byron, in need.

Instead, we are courtesy posting with hope that someone out there sees this, falls in love with these sweet senior faces and reaches out to the shelter directly.

To read about Lydia and Byron, please click these links. Fill out an application for them or go in person to the shelter to meet them.
Here are the links for both of their adoption profiles:
BYRON: https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/e1f11421-612a-47c9-bff4-89058f0347e9?tracking=48c8e1f3-71d2-4a95-b871-885a2b9d4a2e Lydia (bonded to Byron)

Please SHARE to help find their new forever family. Thank you!

BEAR has been on the mend and finally headed to his temporary foster home just this past Friday to continue healing. He's a shy, wary guy, learning to trust the new people in his life.

This cutie needs to find his longer term foster home where he can really settle in and continue working on trust and learning about the comforts of having a home. He's an older fellow with arthritis as a result of being hit by a car earlier this year.

How can you resist this face - he's a budding flower in the world of indoor life living. 🤭

Bear is seeking an apartment or bungalow style foster home, where he doesn't need to worry about stair climbing. A room of his own to decompress in as too much space is just too scary for a shy guy like this sweetheart. Patience, understanding and an ability to meet him where he's at, is what he needs from you.

To foster Bear or any of our other kitties needing a foster home, just send your inquiries to [email protected] or just fill out your adoption application form here: https://linktr.ee/randomrescuer

⚕️SULLY HAD A RECHECK VET VISIT

Sully at his recheck vet visit. He is a great listener when it comes to his health care. He can't believe that he's got the all clear for his mouth and that he can start eating some crunchies again. The only thing left to monitor is a bit of soft poops.

⏲️Reminder:
SULLY AND SWEET MARIE are still looking for their landing spot - Their foster parents are moving away and these two sweethearts need somewhere to go by November 20th. Literally around the corner.

Their medical care isn't difficult to care for. It's pretty straight forward. Whether you can foster or want to give these two a forever home, please reach out - fill out our foster or adopt forms. Their next foster or very first forever peeps are out there somewhere. Stay tuned for a post about the kittos and a note from their foster mama.💕

On Friday - Louie came back to Kahu for a blood pressure check (all good!) and got some sub-q fluids done so I didn't need to stress him at home with it, while Milton was back for his bougienage. Poor Milton has a sore bum still from having some soft-ish poops on/off due to thieving food from others. Tho, it's only been teensy dregs of nothing, maybe his gut is saying - "dude, it all adds up!" So, we will continue to apply some soothing ointment to his little bum and get back on the better track of interrupting his thieving ways.

Outside of that, his bougienage went well, even with his disgruntled angry eating - tell us how you really feel Milton. With his sore bum, who could fault him?😳

Louie is a shy, nervous guy and always will seek out the comfort of his friends. Milton, on the other hand, apparently decided his friend is not a friend on the outside.😂 Talk about an annoyed guy! So rude and not very supportive at all. Haha. I feel like Milton was expecting payment for his services.

UPDATE: Oliver wasn't eating much earlier today (Friday) and it was the first day where he hasn't toileted at all. Never a good sign. In a past ditch effort to give him a chance to enjoy life even a little while longer. We've increased his anti-nausea medication, added an appetite stimulant, anti-inflammatory and we now wait and see. His moms began syringe feeding him today in an effort to kickstart his appetite. He's been open to receiving some food and fluids by syringe which is great. If our miracle happens, and our sweet boy manages to start eating properly, then we will just keep going one day at a time. Please keep him in your thoughts and let's hope he rallies to spend even a little more quality time with us.🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻🥹

OLIVER (aka Porch Guy) MEDICAL UPDATE

Last night was a far more emotional vet visit than we had hoped for and this weekend is gonna be a tough one if we need to return to Kahu AH tomorrow - which is a greater likelihood than not.

With all of Oliver's medical issues - despite starting another round of antibiotics, his health has taken a turn this week. Not just a turn, but an entire nose dive. What makes this extra difficult to accept is that from the outside, you would not know he was falling apart on the inside. His healthy outward appearance lulls you into this false sense of security and comfort, thinking you still have lots of time with this palliative young sweetheart.🥺

Oliver had his blood rechecked to see what has changed since our recent vet appt. and basically everything has changed for him. He has only 10% red blood cell count which makes him grossly anemic. His appetite is next to nothing and he's lost weight, smaller pees and poops because he just doesn't have much in his system. A blood transfusion isn't realistic because all that ails this boy won't be fixed by a transfusion.😭

We knew he was palliative. We knew it. But we just thought we'd have longer with him. That he could enjoy life a little while longer - celebrate the new year with his foster parents - his moms.

Oliver had some sub-q fluids under his skin last night and an injected anti-nausea with hope that he will feel like eating more and just feel more comfortable. Maybe a miracle stuffing of his face will kick in to improve his blood count - a wishful thought in an effort for us to escape what's coming.

We couldn't fix this sweet, sweet boy, but the support he's received since landing on my friend, Jiha's porch, coming into Random Rescuer and scoring the best foster moms to love him, we know he's had the best months he's probably had in all his young life. He's lived longer than he would have, had he been left to suffer on the streets. We just wish he could have more time, but life isn't always so fair. So, he's getting all the love and whatever he wants to eat and maybe some visits from his mom's friends who have come to love him too, and we'll see what tomorrow holds after today. We're hoping for a miracle.🙏🏻

If there's one thing we will never do - it is to prolong any suffering. No matter which angle we try to look at this to save him or buy him even just a little more time, we are boxed in by his health issues. It's breaking our hearts.

OLIVER (aka Porch Guy)

Omg. When it rains, it pours. Our sweet boy Oliver (Porch Guy) is not doing so well. Despite starting him on anti-nausea meds, he's still nauseous and not eating properly. It sounds like he's become dehydrated possibly as he's urinating and pooping less due to not drinking or eating enough. He's hiding more, has lower energy and just isn't himself.🥺

His foster mom, Britney is gonna meet me at Kahu with Oliver and we'll see where we go from there. I am worried. This sweet boy has basically no immune system. I just don't know what is happening right now. My guess is that he will need to be admitted into hospital to receive care via i.v. fluids and meds - but we will see what our vet recommends once we're there.

Please keep our sweet Porch Guy in your thoughts.🙏🏻💜
