We had to say goodbye to Vernie (Grandpa) today. He was tired and in pain. Grandpa came to live with us last summer during a very hot spell. We were alerted about him on a 100° day and told he wandered around the neighborhood looking for food. We went to the address and found him laying in the backyard in the sun very dehydrated and skin and bones. We weren't even sure he was alive but he was. We scooped him up and took him directly to the vet for fluids and a checkup.
He was really in pretty good health he was just old and needed some nutrition. We moved him into our outdoor cat house. He wasn't going to tolerate being indoors. He was friendly but not overly so. Our cat house is outdoors but protected with a shed and fence. It has shade in the summer and heat in the winter. He soon started to put on weight and loved lounging in the hammocks. During the last few weeks and then days he declined rapidly. He stopped eating and drinking and we could tell he was in pain. Pain medicine no longer was helping him.
We relieved him from his pain and let him go today. He had a few good months where he had all he wanted to eat and drink and could feel safe. We will miss you Grandpa. Sleep well big guy! You were loved and will not be forgotten. 😇

A few of our latest intakes all from feral colonies.

Petunia and her sister, Poppy, were very young when we caught them at appoximately 3 weeks old but eating on their own. We were able to trap their mom a few days later to be with them for the next few weeks. Poppy does not have the use of her back legs and will require special care, including expressing her bladder to help her empty it. When she is ready we will be looking into whether a wheelchair will benefit her or not. Petunia will be available for adoption but more than likely Poppy will remain at FHPR for the remainder of her life.

Blossom was found at the same feral colony as above but with a different mother. There was another sibling but unfortunately she disappeared before we could get her. Blossom is a beautiful little girl. She is understandably scared and timid but we are working with her.

Nutmeg is the sole survivor of her litter. She has struggled with respiratory infections but is getting round the clock care. She is a little spitfire regardless.

These three are not ready for adoption yet but will be in the future. We take in injured, sick, abandoned, elderly, owner surrenders, etc. In many ways we are a hospice rescue. We take them in, get them help if possible or make them as comfortable as possible until its their time. They are fed, warm, cared for and loved maybe for the first and only time in their life.

Howie & friends send a big Thank You!

Update:
Mom is here with the babies now. The little one with the back leg issues has had X-rays and it is unsure if the damage to the base of the spine is a birth defect or an injury. Time will tell us more. She has tried to stand on them which is a good sign. Please send prayers for her.

Our newest intakes. We've been watching these two at a feral colony we take care of in Americus. Tonight when we got there the little one laying down couldn't use it's back legs. We were going to take them and find them homes eventually but wanted them to stay with mom as long as possible. Well tonight we needed a new plan. The little one needed medical care right away not to mention he was in danger from predators. We tried to get mom but she's a smart one and would not enter the trap for anything. We will try again as these little guys are barely 3 weeks old and need their momma. As for now they have eaten, are safe and sound asleep. 💜

Sad update:
Bree was in the hospital since last Saturday getting steroids, antibiotics, fluids and nutrition. She started having trouble breathing so she was put in an oxygen chamber. We both went and visited her to try and boost her spirits. She did seem to perk up a bit when she heard our voices. Unfortunately, she took a down turn and passed away this morning. Our hearts are broken 💔. We think she relaxed a little and felt loved the few days she was here. We know she deserved a better life than she had in her few short months. 😢
With all that said, we still have a sizeable bill at East Emporia Vet Clinic for her care. A donation towards her bill would be very much appreciated. There is a donate button below, we do have a PayPal for Forever Home Pet Rescue or you can donate directly to EEVC. Thank you.

Sunday update:
Bree is showing some progress. She was eating and up moving around, progress in both areas. She is getting fluids, light steroids and antibiotics. Hoping another night and day will be enough that she is out of the woods and can come home. 🙏 🤞

Update:
Bree is back in the hospital. She quit eating and drinking, and despite our efforts to give her water and food, is now dehydrated. She was responding to us and eating well but had diarrhea. We were working on that but in the process she stopped eating.

From what we understand about her injuries when she was brought to the vet clinic she had severe head trauma. The cause is unknown. Please keep little Bree in your prayers. We have already become very attached to her and her to us and our voices. If you would like to help with her vet bill please donate below. Thank you.

Our newest special needs intake, Bree, is 4 months old and blind. She's very scared but getting more comfortable making her way around her living quarters. She's being fed right now but we have high hopes she'll eventually learn to eat on her own. A perfectly sweet little girl but it's unknown if she'll be available for adoption. If you'd like to help with Brees vet bills and ongoing care please hit the donate button below. If everyone could just manage $5 that would really help. Thank you.
