***UPDATE *** Maudie is in surgery. We will update you when we know more. UPDATE Maudie was in for her recheck today. You may remember her...her belly was a horrible mess of wounds, discharge and infection. It looks now like it is persistent patent urachus. This is congenital. Here's how I understand it. When in the womb...babies urine travels through their umbilicus and when they are born, that closes and they begin to use their normal outlet. But in some cases, the first outlet doesn't close off...and they still urinate through their belly. The primary symptom is scald, skin and urinary infections, and many other problems, including the flystrike and maggots little Maudie had. We are planning a high contrast ultrasound to see what's going on. No decision can be made about surgery or anything else until we know more. Maudies bill is already over 1000.00 and the ultrasound will be close to 600.00...surgery if possible about 2000.00. If you can help...that would be wonderful. We have three more surgeries ahead as well...2 enucleations and more dentals.

We are hoping to officially open to intakes shortly, but when an emergency crops up and no one has room anywhere.... This wee one is the only surviving kitten from her litter, and mum disappeared. We will attempt to find her and get her spayed, but she's been missing for a couple of days now, and we dont know what happened. In the meantime, we will care for her baby, and look for a rescue to take her on if possible.

Sharing a video of little Lando, our wee man with FIP, so you can see the size of his belly. In wet FIP, fluid builds up in the cats abdomen, compressing organs, causing breathing and eating problems among other issues. FIP, wet or dry, is invariably a fatal disease without treatment. Lando has been enrolled in a Canadian study group, and has begun treatment, and although he has a long way to go, and there are no guarantees, he is not deteriorating, and is just a wee bit better. Luckily so far, he has not lost his appetite. If you'd like to help with his medication...the GoFundMe link is below. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/QwJuSYKLUtf4cYEi/?mibextid=qi2Omg

UPDATE...The kitty, Squirrel, has been transferred to us, and is up for adoption! This was meant to be posted a while back. But I think today is a good day to put it out there, as it was a day full of cooperation, community, and kindness (and who doesn't need more of that). And all involved deserve a big shout out, and many thanks for what they did. I got a message about a cat in a tree. Folks were getting worried about it. Now I know a lot of folks believe cats will come down on their own...but sometimes they just can't. So I started the calls, messages etc. to find an arborist to come and help. We've done it before several times. It was a very busy day for everyone I called, and response time was a bit slower than I had hoped for, (not surprising as they were all out on jobs). The temperature was falling and snow was in the forecast, and then I got more information about the cat. It had been up in the tree for 4 days! That prompted me to get in touch with PAWS, Provincial Animal Welfare Services...the folks who enforce the Provincial Animal Services Act. They went into action. (I got to watch and take pictures). They got permission for the Napanee Fire Department, Hook and Ladder 811, to come and help. Luckily they were not out on a call. There was a pickup truck in the driveway to the property, blocking full access, and the keys to it were in Picton, so Wards Towing were asked to move it onto the street so the firetruck could get closer to the tree, and the cat. They came very quickly and got the truck out of the way. The ladder truck got into position, set its legs and the ladder went up and out. One of the firemen went up and out to the end...then it was maneuvered into position...but the cat got spooked and went further up. Waiting patiently, the cat returned and went a bit further down. It was grabbed quickly, and put in a carrier...then down they came. Cat on the ground and safe!! The firetruck packed up and left, the tow truck put the pickup truck bac
