I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who has contributed to the Sullivan Sanctuary of Maine Fundraiser!
I'm thrilled to be sending out thank you notes, acknowledging your kindness.
Your generosity has enabled us to provide Marley and the kitties with essential veterinary care, including check-ups, vaccinations, flea treatments, and even an emergency visit to the Scarborough Emergency Vet for Marley, who's now on the mend after he was unable to walk at all this weekend…
Plus, dental appointments with extractions for Papa Hank and Marley! This outpouring of support is the greatest gift EVER! This enables us to make a real difference in the lives of these precious animals at Sullivan Sanctuary of Maine 😻❤️🐶🐾

One of my clients just found an injured crow on Main Street in Brunswick that needs to get up to Avian Haven, is there anyone willing to drive a crow up to freedom or possibly partway there to meet another volunteer?

Who was the heartless driver in a sleek black new Mustang that recklessly sped over a flock of geese crossing the road at Sebasco resort Thursday August 22 leaving a trail of destruction and one dead?!
Let's come together to find the person responsible for this. We need to try and get the survivors to avian Haven. Volunteer rescue drivers?

Yesterday, Cheryl Gurney had a frightening experience with our boy Marley, who suddenly couldn't walk. We quickly contacted Sunray Animal Clinic and took him to the Emergency vet. He's being treated with gabapentin and prednisone, and we're hoping the issue is just a pulled muscle, but we'll do blood tests if needed; prayers are appreciated!

I think Leo and Murphy found their forever home!!!

Marley's trading up to his dream crew, and we're stoked he'll be living the good life with his new best buds! We thought we'd be the ones showering him with perks, but destiny had other plans when Trista connected us with Cheryl, an animal whisperer phenom, and her husband Barry, who'll be treating Marley like royalty with a yard that's the epitome of cool and a crib that's the ultimate pad! When she sent in her app and pics of their new über-cool house, I knew Marley would be living the dream! Gonna miss the little furball! ❤️

I just wanted to thank you everyone who has donated to help the animals of Sullivan Sanctuary of Maine! ❤️❤️😻❤️❤️🐶

Today's the purr-fect day to worship black cats! Black Cat appreciation day!

Every life is precious - but when you are a baby who is completely reliant on your mom for survival, her life is extra precious to you.

This mother cottontail had an infected wound caused by a bot fly. Don’t look up what a bot fly is unless you have a strong stomach… 😳

We are treating the large wound on her neck and preventing any flies from laying eggs in there - as it could be life threatening to her.

Her finders knew she was a mom and were aware of where her nest was. Her babies are about two weeks old but still need her for atleast one more week. They came along with her.

She will be moved to our quarantine room where she and her babies will have an enclosure and a room all to themselves. Cottontails are easily stressed, so we want to help keep things as calm and quiet as possible.

I may also try to get her to adopt a couple of the orphans we took in yesterday. Even the best and most expensive formula can’t compare to their mother’s milk - especially with rabbits.

For now, I’m just happy we can keep this family together and that everyone is getting the care they need. ❤️

This is the kitty we are trying to catch a the Rusty Lantern in Brunswick. If you see this friendly kitty please call us!

08/15/2024

Hello Brunswick Residents! This precious little beauty has been hanging out at the Rusty Lantern (across from Merrymeeting Plaza) for a number of months now. People have been watching over her and feeding her and trying to find out if she has a home or if she needs to go to rescue. So far, nobody has come forward, either to claim her or to provide any information about her. And now there is a NEW WRINKLE-She has not shown up to be fed for several days now---and nobody has seen her around, either. This is EXTREMELY unusual for her--She has never failed to show up for multiple nights in a row. PLEASE---If anyone has seen her, or has any information about her, PLEASE contact either (207) 319-4642 (Kim) or Sullivan Sanctuary at (207) 251-9310. PLEASE help us to help this precious soul!

I got a call from Virginia in Bath that found an injured crow.
Avian Haven is closed for the night but if anybody that may work for them and sees this, and is able to work on a connection for some relay drivers for the morning to get him up there, Virginia is willing to drive him to Topsham to meet a driver!

Marley found the bin of toys this evening and has been rummaging through them trying to pick his favorite one! He’s got a few that he likes. ❤️

A week has passed since we opened our hearts and homes to the Mechanic Falls fur family, and it's been a deeply rewarding experience!

The kitties are all making themselves at home in the kitty condo! Lucy has finally come around and even purred today. Sally has ventured out to the fenced in Catio/lanai and enjoyed lounging in the afternoon sun.
It only took me a week of having them sample every brand of canned food imaginable that they would all eat, I finally struck a winner!

Marley has spent every day with either Megan, myself, or Chris, and tonight marked a significant achievement - two hours of solo time with our doggies at home while we dined out.
Marley sparkled with independence! I watched him on the camera as he navigated his surroundings with confidence, he even made himself comfy on the couch watching doggy TV until our return.
His affectionate welcome when we arrived home was the perfect finale to a perfect evening!

Papa Hank and Sally’s turn at the vet! They are waiting for their test results cuddled up purring and ready to go home! Negative on FIV and Leukemia! 🥳🎉🥳
Poor Papa Hank has some really bad teeth that will need to be removed ASAP at Mainely Veterinary Dentistry as they may be causing his respiratory problems.
Sally’s teeth are not good but not quite as bad and won’t need as immediate attention as Papa Hank. Thank you to all of you who have donated to our GoFundMe page unfortunately it looks like the $4000 was a little too hopeful for all their vet bills 😢
I know that these sweet babies were going to be a bit of money. My goal is to keep them together as they have been a family and do take comfort in each other’s company. 💔❤️Making an appointment for Papa Hank tomorrow. I will keep you posted.
Below is a pic of poor Papa Hank’s mouth.
