BLIP NEEDS A MORNING FEEDER OR TWO IMMEDIATELY AND A FOSTER HOME as soon as possible!

Location for feeding: Sheppard and Wilmington area in North York, ON

He has been coming around despite the lack of a consistent feeding schedule. The camera was up for 5 days and he's come 4 of those days so far. I'm heading back this morning to set the camera back up. I had forgot to bring my batteries and a spare SD card with me.

I cannot tell if the side of his head/neck below the ear is just shorter in fur, thinner in fur, missing a chunk of fur or none of the above and it's totally fine and just the camera angle and lighting that's the issue.

This guy showed up one day last year while Blep and Bloop were still being fed outside on my cousin's porch. So, we called him Blip, cuz the first two were supposed to be the last cats to come in and we planned to close up the feeding station and find new homes for the winter houses. Then Blip.appeared and has been a somewhat regular visitor. My cousin can't do the feeding herself, she's older and unable. All we want is to close up shop before other cats find her porch. So far, thankfully, it's just Blip and it seems the owned tabby is back out on the streets. If he hinders our efforts, I will drop him back off to the shelter for his owners to come get him as many times as I need to. Sorry, I just don't have time for people who think it's okay to put their cat outside in freezing and/or snow stormy weather.

💜BLIP WILL BE OUR LAST INTAKE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. WHO WANTS TO HELP US HELP BLIP?🙏💜

🥣FEEDING NEEDS: Every morning (Monday to Sunday) between 7:30-9am is the window to put dry, wet and fresh water out. Take some photos, if you see him, monitor for health concerns and let me know. Feeding is needed until we figure out his foster home placement. We will be trap training him during this process to ensure that when his foster home is secured, we can just bring him inside sooner than later.

🏠FOSTERING NEEDS:
✅ Must have an isolation room that can house a 48" long cage, and that has a secure door that shuts properly. With unknown temperaments and personality, it's often easiest and safest to begin with a cage and then graduate to accessing the room they're in.
✅ Must be comfortable with unknown personality because for now, all we know is he's skittish and will run off upon approach
✅ Able to transport to/from our partner vet clinics (main clinics are Beaches Animal Hospital and Kahu Animal Hospital) as needed or in an emergency. Public transit like buses/subways is not allowed for safety and comfort of the cat.
✅ Comfortable taking photos and videos of Blip to provide for posts and updates.
✅ Must be able to communicate.
✅ Be prepared to commit to Blip's journey and understand that building trust, depending on his experience with people, can take time.

*And yes, we will check for a chip to ensure he's not missing from home, but he sure does look like at least an older adult tomcat who has been around a while.

⚕️MILTON & HOLLYBERRY MEDICAL UPDATES

💜MILTON has definitely improved and is p**ping better now, but still not back to entirely normal pattern. His urinary infection is improving slowly, but he's also still not letting me express him fully unless his dose of gabapentin is on board. He is definitely in better spirits; However, he's got a bit of a road ahead of him still. During his re**al exam, our vet felt a couple of bands in his re**um. Basically, because Milton lacks control over his bowels and they are often releasing p**ps, there's some irritation and inflammation that understandably occurs. Some scar tissue has begun to develop which are the bands our vet felt. This is also causing his re**al stricture, making it more challenging for p**p to pass through.

Our vet spoke with a specialist who noted that without intervention, the scar tissue will continue to grow and eventually make it impossible for Milton to pass any stool. The scar tissue will become so dense that any ability to reverse it enough will be gone. So, catching it at this stage is hopefully, a lifesaver for Milton. He will be going twice a week to our vet at Kahu in an effort to digitally stretch this section of his re**um. The term used was Digital Bougienage.

"Digital bougienage" refers to a medical procedure where a doctor uses their finger, essentially acting as a dilator, to gently stretch and break down a narrowed passageway (stricture) within the body, most commonly in the re**um of animals like dogs and cats, by manually applying pressure with their lubricated finger during a digital re**al examination; essentially a minimally invasive way to treat re**al strictures without the need for surgical instruments.

What makes this different from the average animal who may require this, is that Milton is special needs and has no control over his bowels to begin with. This will be a gradual process as we monitor to ensure his re**al stricture is stretched just enough to allow stool to pass with ease vs. too much which then creates a constant flow of p**p (as I've often described as waterfall p**p where there feels like no end in sight) because he doesn't have the ability to turn it off on his own. We don't know how many visits it will take to achieve the right amount of re**al stretch for him to p**p more easily, but we are definitely hopeful for success

Milton begins this journey on Monday. Keep him in your thoughts and let's hope all goes smoothly as we do what we can to enable him to p**p more easily without turning into a neverending waterfall.

💜HOLLYBERRY has been doing much better! Our vet suspects that she was dealing with a degree of pancreatitis. Some new medications were added and she finally began to consistently eat on her own! We noticed that she was looking quite stiff in her movement and the radiology report noted that she has spondylosis deformans which can cause some pain and discomfort. It could have also compounded her lack of appetite and feeling so ick. So far, since being back in her foster home, she's been taking her meds well, but has smartened up to the pill hidden in the pill pocket rolled in fortiflora, in the last day or so. So her foster mom has had to resort to the "down the hatch!" method.

Otherwise, Ms. Hollyberry appears to be moving in the right direction medically. She had us pretty worried there for a minute.

❤️THANK YOU!❤️

THANK YOU to our two generous anonymous donors for their $500 & $1,500 offers to match and help us get bills paid and our current medical kitties the care they need. I'm not sure what we'd do without this kindness.💗

THANK YOU to each of you who stepped up and sent in what you could. It's impossible to keep going without you and your generosity. Times are super tough these days for so many of us and still, you guys magically pulled together to raise a total of $1,915 out of our $2,000 goal in just 4 days! FOUR DAYS! 💗

I don't have control over who falls sick, when, what ails them, what their needs are or really anything much. I don't have control over what funds are gifted at any point either, that's all you guys and you're pretty freak'n awesome.

What I do have control over is my deepest gratitude for each of you who are doing all you can to ensure that these very deserving cats (& our random senior dogs in care), no matter their age, special needs or medical needs, get exactly what they need to live a long, happy and healthy life. The fact that there are so many of you who believe they deserve to enjoy their lives and be fully supported just like any kitten, young adult or healthy cat, just warms my heart to no end.

This rescue is struggling financially and you've just helped to ease a chunk of our financial load by enabling us to pay a portion of our medical bills owing for Milton (still not done yet), Ducky, a few others and now, our sweet Hollyberry.

THANK YOU always for your support!💜🙏💜

⚕️ HOLLYBERRY MEDICAL UPDATE

This sweet girl has been having quite a bumpy road this past weekend.

Saturday night after her vet visit at Beaches Animal Hospital for not eating for 3 days, she ate a tiny bit of food once the anti-nausea and appetite stimulant meds kicked in. We checked for constipation and possible bladder issues that might be impacting her appetite. We thought maybe just an upset tummy and treated accordingly.

Sunday, Hollyberry ate nothing again and so we headed off to Kahu Animal Hospital. This time, we did bloodwork, additional x-rays, ultrasound, and a viral test was done due to some of the results from her bloodwork. Sunday night we found out that Hollyberry is FIV+ (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) which was a total surprise. Just goes to show you that you never really know unless you test. Beyond the changes in her blood work suggesting we do the viral test, it was all unremarkable, and so all we had left was to wait for her radiology report. Once again, Hollyberry got her anti-nausea and appetite stimulant meds and off we went.

That brings us to TODAY, Monday. Our girl ate a tiny bit last night and a tiny bit this morning. Not enough to feel confident that she is on the right track yet. So she had an appt. booked for earlier this evening at Kahu Animal By. The radiology report had come back and it appears that Hollyberry has something called ileus (inflammation of her intestinal tract). Our vet described it as being inflamed and swollen which would cause her to feel full and not want to eat. The functioning of her colon isn't an issue otherwise. On top of this, we discovered that Hollyberry has spondylosis which causes bony growths on the underside of her spine. It explains why she also moves with stiffness and she needs some pain meds as it can cause discomfort and limitations in flexibility. Going back to her intestinal tract and lack of appetite, Hollyberry is reaching a point where the concern of fatty liver is becoming more real. It also doesn't help that she's also overweight (tho, she's been gradually losing weight on her controlled diet).

Hollyberry was admitted into hospital earlier tonight for monitoring, fluids, medications and syringe feeding for now. Depending on how she does tonight and tomorrow with her appetite, she may require i.v. fluids and possibly an NG tube (nasogastric tube) which goes into her nose and straight into her stomach for feeding purposes. Please keep Hollyberry in your thoughts and let's hope she begins eating on her own.🙏

SNUGGLE SUNDAY SWEETNESS

SWEET MARIE & SULLY❤️
Bonded asthmatic kitties
SEEKING FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOME
👉⚕️Their home must be scent-free (no scented candles/plug-ins, strong perfumes or chemical cleaners)
Location: Toronto, ON

I've been a bit challenged with a video I've been working on about these two. But, yes, I did in fact note that they are a bonded pair. Hehe For those who remember these two, they were not doing well together at all and Sully was bullying Sweet Marie.

We had such a challenge finding either one of these sweet cats their own new foster home while they were fighting so terribly, causing stress and asthma attacks on both sides and stress for their foster parents. The extra forced time together managed to finally help them round a much needed corner.😅 And now we have two affectionate, young adult kitties who snooze together, groom together, play together and still sometimes banter and bicker together too, but at the end of the day, they've finally discovered an appreciation and companionship in one another.💗

Sweet Marie and Sully would looove to find a FOSTER-TO-ADOPT home together. It was a journey for them to reach this level of connection, that we feel it's important they continue their journey together instead of either one having to go through the process of meeting another new friend. Plus, since they obviously both want friendship with another cat and they both have asthma, it doesn't make sense to put them through any additional stress of change beyond settling into a new home together forever.❤️

HOLLYBERRY❤️
Senior, 15 years old
Toronto, ON

Miss. Hollyberry has been settling in so nicely at her "holiday" foster home with her new foster mom while her original foster mom and dad are unable to care for her again til June.

This lovely senior is a bit plump, working on weight loss, but otherwise, is in good health and just a sweet girl. She is happiest in a home of her own, with no furry competition and she much prefers to have a mom in her life. She feels most at ease with moms than dads.

Hollyberry is a pretty low maintenance gal who just wants to hang out with you, nap, watch t.v., check out the bird and squirrel activity outside and squeeze in a few snuggles with her mom.

Are you a cat mom missing a cat in your life and have room for this beautiful floofy senior lady? Hollyberry would love to find her forever mom this year.💗

Senior animals are so lovely and so worth investing your heart into. The trick is to focus on the time you have with them vs. the time you don't. Live in the moments together. It's all they want from you.❤️

😸📣DOLLAR MATCH FOR MILTON❤️

We have had a compassionate anonymous donor offer to match up to $500 to help with Milton's medical care.

ENDS: Monday, February 3rd at midnight

He is still not out of the woods yet and while I'm heading to pick him up tonight, he'll be heading back to the clinic tomorrow. Due to his paralysis that impacts his bowel and bladder functions, the fluids used to e***a him and clear him of his p**ps, have not fully emptied yet. This has made it still challenging to grab a sample of the free fluid in his belly.

Some of the thoughts around the fluid have been that his colon due to being so incredibly full, has possibly got a small tear somewhere that's causing a leak. FIP is another possibility. Cancer is another one. Basically, if we can't figure out how to get a fluid sample drawn due to the condition (distention) of his colon, then our options are to treat conservatively with antibiotics for both his UTI and to monitor to see if he improves/worsens with his colon/free fluid/appetite issues or we send him to emerg/referral and have a specialist get the fluid sample. He's on antibiotics either way for his UTI. His blood work is mostly normal, with a couple of numbers teetering on the fence (still normal but on the high or low end).

To ensure we give Milton his best chance, please help us match up to $500 which would ultimately mean you've helped raise a total of $1,000 towards his medical care!💜

01/30/2025

So, the vet asked me as a rescue, if money was not an issue, would I want to send Milton to an internal medicine specialist for an ultrasound today to help identify why there's some fluid visible on the mini-ultrasound done in clinic today, where it shouldn't be. There is a possibility that it's just from inflammation or it's possible that there's a leak of some kind or maybe it's something else. Every rescue has its boundaries and as a rescue who supports medical and special needs cats, I have always maintained that we will go the distance for any animal. It doesn't matter if they're special needs or not. What that distance looks like, however, is different for each animal because it is ultimately always about their individual quality of life. Finding answers which helps ensure the best decision is made for each animal, is important. Milton is currently just one example of where rescue is also only as capable as the funding in hand, at the ready for situations like this. The unexpected.

I'm not saying he needs to go to a specialist, but I'm also not saying he doesn't. I don't know yet. What I do know is that our special needs boy is not quite as straight forward as I was anticipating him to be today. We are at Kahu Animal Hospital because Milton was looking worse this morning. As a result of fluid being where it shouldn't be, he now needs additional x-rays vs. the single we were planning to take to confirm how much p**p he was holding in his colon. Depending on what's found on x-ray, I don't know what he'll need next.

Milton's situation and our funding shortage combined is a reminder that no matter how painful it is to say no to animals in need, that our doors must stay closed to intake (save for Blip, whom we committed to should we be able to bring him in). Our focus must remain on supporting our cats already in care.

We have a couple of fundraisers (extended Maple Leafs wearables and our Homemade Dessert Fundraisers) happening now if you haven't participated yet, this would be a great reason to join in, I hope!🙏

Milton is worse than he was on Monday. As of this morning, he won't eat.

Sabine and Ahsoka are a mix of concern and happy excitement as they have some bowel stuff going on (likely constipation) AND are also getting ready to head off to their FOSTER-TO-ADOPT family next week!

Oh, and while Hercules isn't going to the vet, his weird p**p is gonna be dropped off for testing. He's had 3 weird p**ps and that's enough to know something is going on.

Finding Home - Pearl

GUESS WHO HAS JUST MADE A MOVE? Our sweet Pearl was impacting one of her foster family member's allergies so bad, that she just ultimately couldn't stay. She was ready for forever anyways, so this move is a great opportunity for her! Pearl is checking out her new foster home and all her belongings with the hopeful promise of this being her forever home! Sometimes, when we need to do things a bit too quickly for our adoption process, turning a promising adopt applicant into a brief foster family can really help. It ensures the fit is right and allows us to take a breath and get the adoption part done in a less chaotic, frantic kinda way. This is where having some flex and bend to help things work out for everyone, comes in handy. ❤️ We didn't want sweet Pearl to miss what feels and looks like her most purrfect pawpurrtunity!🥰

DECEMBER DESSERT FUNDRAISER
DECEMBER DESSERT FUNDRAISER

😻📣CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR DECEMBER HOMEMADE DESSERT WINNER!🥳🎉 THANK YOU once again to our generous baker and awesome foster mom, Darien for offering such a tasty monthly fundraiser!❤️ THANK YOU to everyone who entered your name and helped raise some much needed funds! Your support helped to raise $90 this round!👏💖 😸BRIEF KITTY HISTORY: For those who don't know Hercules medical history, he has some paralysis in his back end. This means he needs his bladder expressed 3x daily and has no control over his bowel function. His back legs have a bit of a mind of their own. To clarify a snippet about Arnie ... When I said he was dumped on Christmas Eve, I meant by his foster mom. Arnie was having inappropriate urination and defecation at the time (which I've not experienced at all since picking him up that afternoon on Christmas Eve). His foster, was unwilling to work with us further despite our multiple suggestions to help contain things so we could at least get thru the holidays and have time to find an alternate foster home. Arnie has since been dealing with a challenging stomatitis (gum inflammation) that is only now appearing to finally be more stable, but he's still weaning off his prednisolone. Beyond this one medical issue, this boy is fabulous and so loving. He's had zero little box issues which leads me to believe that his past potty issue was environment/energy/stress related. Arnie will make his future forever family very happy ... Whomever they might be.

⚕️NIKKI Nikki's foster dad noticed her straining and trying to find new places to go. She was being woefully vocal too. Nobody likes to see an animal feeling uncomfortable, and especially not a senior like this sweet girl. Off to Beaches Animal Hospital for a check. She was due for a recheck of her iron level anyways. Nikki was indeed constipated due to a super dry, hard as rock poop that acted as a butt plug, preventing the other poop from passing. Now she's all set to go on her own once again and added a bit extra lactulose to her daily dosage. Nikki also got her injections for her iron as it's just starting to drop a bit low. And back home. 🏡 Nikki is one of our permanent residents, enjoying life being spoiled by her foster dad.💗

BLEP & BLOP❤️ Toronto, ON Is there a sweeter sound than the first time a cat finally feels comfortable enough to speak to you, and when they do, they sound like Blop? I think not. My heart isn't melting ... Yours is. 💓 When people ask me how I know when cats are bonded ... Just look at Blep and Blop's videos for one example of what I look for to know if cats are bonded. Never in a million years would I ever consider splitting this pair up. They would be lost without each other. Often one relies more heavily on the other. Blep just loves her brother to bits. He lets her do her thing, and puts up with it like any loving sibling would. They're always with each other and if not attached to the hip, one is never far behind the other. Blep and Blop are each other's world. 💞 To Foster: https://linktr.ee/randomrescuer ⚠️Please be sure to send yourself a copy. Google Docs is glitchy and sometimes we don't receive applications.

Davey at Our Vet
Davey at Our Vet

⚕️DAVEY MEDICAL Well, we went to the vet earlier this year worried and discovered our boy was just fat.😅 Today, we went back to Beaches Animal Hospital Toronto because last week, I felt a smaller nubby kinda lump that I wasn't sure if it was fatty tissue or something else. I didn't feel it anywhere else, so better to err on the side of caution because Davey ain't no spring chicken. Despite getting a sample, it wasn't 100% clear what it is. Could be fat, could be a type of cyst as it did appear to have some graininess and for now, we aren't thinking it's cancer. We will monitor the site to see whether there are any changes happening as time passes. If it continues to grow and/or becomes more tender to touch, we will biopsy it. Davey was such a good patient. He really isn't a fan of going to the vet or leaving home. He's definitely a creature of habit and opts to hide away. His thought was if he didn't move, we wouldn't know he was there. Sweet boy. Wishful thinking. Davey also wants to remind you that if not for your support, he and his friends couldn't receive their medical care or have their general day to day needs met.

😸PEARL HAS FOUND A FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOME! ❤️ ********** ‼️PEARL NEEDS TO MOVE STILL‼️ Toronto, ON We had an offer to foster, but being a solo cat, Pearl needs someone who works a standard work day or less so that she doesn't become lonely. We had interest in adoption, but it seems that it's just not panning out as we had hoped it might. So, Pearl is still on the search for her best fit whether as a foster or adoption. Her new move out date has been set for next weekend, end of November. No extensions this time. Please fill out our adopt or foster form and give this sweet solo cat at heart, a chance to show you how much love she has to share and how high her expectations are that you love her right back even more! https://linktr.ee/randomrescuer ⚠️Please be sure to send yourself a copy.

DON'T INTERRUPT ME!
DON'T INTERRUPT ME!

SULLY❤️ Just a heads up for whomever adopts this cutie patootie ... This is very serious ... ⚠️DO NOT interrupt him when he's watching Game of Thrones. 📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺👀 Sully is a 3 year old single guy looking to remain your one and only furbaby to love and cherish as much as he will love and cherish you ... Unless you interrupt his Game of Thrones. 😂 He is on a puffer for asthma and has a total of $44.82 /month if you need to buy his ventolin (Salbutamol) inhaler ($10+tax) monthly, which you won't, because his daily Flovent ($30+tax) inhaler has been helping to regulate his asthma flare-ups. These costs are based on a prescription (with refills added on the script) from our vet which we fill at Costco pharmacy. Also, his permanent slight head tilt is a result of an infection he had back when he first came into care. It doesn't bother him in any way and instead adds an extra layer of character Sully is a really fun and loving little velcro-type kitty. Where you are, he generally is too. He is great at self-entertaining, but also really enjoys when you engage with him in some play. Snuggles are a no brainer for him and he expects they'll be a no brainer for you too! Unless he's watching Game of Thrones. 🤭 It's very intense you know ... He needs to focus.😆 To adopt or foster-to-adopt this sweet guy, please fill out the appropriate form by clicking here: https://linktr.ee/randomrescuer ⚠️Please be sure to send yourself a copy.
