Thank you for all the messages we received today for Jack. He made it through eye removal surgery today just fine and is back with us for rest and recovery. He also had a small growth in his ear removed. We would like to thank all the veterinarians and their staff who took such great care of Jack. Dr. Becker at White Oak Urgent Care first saw Jack on Saturday, diagnosed his heart murmur and started him on antibiotics and pain medication for his eye. And especially Potomac Animal Wellness Services for surgery and their excellent care of Jack today. Dr. Quigley did a fantastic job removing his eye and the growth in his ear. Vet tech Shylah monitored his vitals and anesthesia throughout the surgery, since he was such high risk due to his heart disease. We are hoping Jack will continue to have a smooth recovery and soon be able to go back home to his human and cat family. Thank you for your donations that make it possible for us to help sick and injured animals in our community.

Our sincere thanks to everyone who donated towards Jack's eye surgery today. He has been admitted to the hospital and we appreciate all the prayers and well wishes that this good boy's heart will be strong enough to recover from anesthesia. Sometimes difficult choices have to be made and he can't continue in so much pain because of his eye. We will update later today. ♥️🐈‍⬛

Jack needs our help. He was found many years ago as a tiny kitten, very sick with a severe eye infection. He was nursed back to health but lost the vision in his left eye. Recently his blind eye developed a severe infection, whether by an injury or possibly even a tumor. To make matters worse, a heart murmur was detected at the urgent care vet, and follow up blood work at the primary care vet shows significant heart disease. Jack is in so much pain from his eye that we all feel it necessary to take the risk and go ahead with the surgery to remove his eye tomorrow. Please keep Jack in your thoughts tomorrow as we are all praying he makes it through the surgery. He is such a sweet old guy and his caretaker loves him so much. If you would like to donate towards his vet bills, his urgent care exam and medication was $378. His pre-surgery exam and bloodwork was $490. We anticipate the surgery, anesthesia, medications and biopsy tomorrow will be over $1000. You can donate through PayPal at paypal.me/helpforpetssmd or at our link below. Thank you for helping us take care of Jack.

The calls are increasing every day with people asking if there is any way we can help with pet food. The shelters and rescues are full of dogs and cats, and we don't want anyone to feel they have to surrender a pet because they can't afford to feed them. We would like to thank Mary, one of our very best volunteers, who has kept our pet food bank stocked with dog food donations for the last year. Mary has spent every week asking for donations, looking for donations, driving hundreds of miles to pick up donations, and with her husband Paul has loaded and unloaded thousands of pounds of dog and cat food to be distributed through our pet food bank. Thank you so much Mary and Paul! You have helped so many folks who are truly struggling to care for their pets.

This has been a heartbreaking year for TNR cat trappers. There have been very few open spots in rescue for friendly cats and tiny kittens. We have had to put so many cats back outside and leave kittens to grow up near busy roads and parking lots. Sometimes the only thing that keeps us going are updates on the few cats we've been able to bring indoors. So on National Cat Day we will focus on the good.

In July 2022 we were trapping cats for TNR behind a busy restaurant when a kitten walked into a trap. She was a bit too old for rescues to want to take the time to socialize, but we kept her anyway and spent every chance we could working with her and looking for the perfect person to continue her home training. A month later a kind, caring person stepped up for the frightened kitten. Today Rowena happily shares her home with dogs, cats, a hermit crab, a bearded dragon and a bird. Her owner says she is the most loveable cat she has ever had. Please consider adopting or fostering a cat or older kitten that is frightened and just needs a little more time. Their lives may depend on it.

Today is National Black Cat Day! And to celebrate we took 5 black cats to TNR surgery. Two were neighborhood cats and three were from a public colony near a busy road. Sadly, two of the public colony cats have recently had kittens. That means two more litters of kittens will struggle to survive outdoors with winter coming. The mom cats will go back out to care for their kittens as soon as they are fully awake from anesthesia. We are trapping as many cats as possible with the limited amount of funds we have left. We know almost everyone is struggling right now just to keep food on the table, but just $10 will help sponsor a black cat on their special day. Thank you!
