Late nights with Bee π€
I just woke up to check on Bee. She's doing very well!
I wanted to test some limits with her (gentle pets and touching paws) since she's had the evening to kind of settle in and calm down a little. This was my first attempt at those and I think she loved it π₯Ίπ€ She is so stinkin' adorable.
This is a totally different kitty than the one we TNRed back in 2023 - thanks to her caretakers working with her everyday since, she's no longer feral and has come such a long way, learning to trust humans! This encounter with her tonight made me so happy and hopeful that she will be able to be adopted much sooner than later. We just need her to make a full recovery, help her adapt to living indoors with only 3 legs, and see how she does with other animals and children in the future. Her milestones with us will of course be shared with you all as we navigate them.
So far, she seems comfortable, is sprawled out in her crate making biscuits, has already been using the litter box, and has pigged out several times within the past 24 hours (she chowed down FIVE cans of fancy feast and a bowl of dry food)! πΉ Her sutures and everything look great, and she hasn't tried to mess with them. She's such a good girl.
I'm going to get some more rest now, I feel like I could sleep for a month after the week I had π€£π΄ I have to be up early to check on my personal cat, Bert, since he was hospitalized at Akeso tonight.
To those that have messaged us or me specifically, our team and I will get back to you as soon as we can! Thank you for being patient β€οΈ

We possibly have another emergency case coming in. We are going to need your help if we can trap or get this girl...

We possibly have another emergency case coming in. We are going to need your help if we can trap or get this girl...
This is Bee. We TNRed her back in 2023. She had to be released because we had no luck socializing her and she was getting extremely stressed in an indoor, crated environment. Fast forward to a few days ago, a homeowner across the street from where Bee's caretaker/feeder lives, heard scratching in her basement. Her son came to check it out and found Bee in her basement with a mouse trap stuck on her leg. She must've gotten in through a hole. He pulled it off and Bee took off running back outside.
Today, this is how Bee showed back up to her caretaker's home. Notice her hind right leg - she won't put any weight on it, there's missing fur, and she's crying as if she is in pain.
Her caretaker is trying to get her or trap her now to bring her in so we can evaluate her condition (if she allows us to) and she will need to be seen by a vet ASAP.
We are hoping she doesn't need it amputated - we cannot afford an emergency surgery and had a tough time raising funds for the last emergency case we recently took on. We have NO foster space to bring her in long term... plus, she is feral. At least a year ago she was.
No matter what though, she needs brought in, evaluated, and seen by a vet ASAP. We are hoping they can catch her tonight. We will keep everyone updated.
O'Malley is home with his family for the New Year! πͺπ»β€οΈβπ©Ήπ
O'Malley is home with his family for the New Year! πͺπ»β€οΈβπ©Ήπ Clearly, a lot has happened this evening. And we are ecstatic to announce this wonderful news!
A little while ago, we received a call from Dr McCormick at VEG. O'Malley is alert, eating, and has drastically improved since last night! The ultrasound results showed enterocolitis and mild pancreatitis, and secondary to those things, he had enlarged lymph nodes. She went on to say that there were no findings of any indicators of IBD or GI cancer. Additionally and unrelated to his symptoms, they did find some debris in his bladder (we recommended to the owner that she have a urinalysis done at her regular vet ASAP).
The cause of the enterocolitis and pancreatitis stemmed from something infectious such as a stomach flu, old or poisonous food, or even a GI parasite. However, given that he was an indoor/outdoor cat, it is unclear what exactly is the cause.
To cover all bases, he was sent home with a 5 day course of Panacur which treats all basic worms and Giardia, Mirataz appetite stimulant, and Veraflox antibiotic. They would like him to be reevaluated in a week to make sure he is still improving.
We did review his necessary upcoming veterinary care with his owner, including the recheck exam, urinalysis, and a fecal exam to test for internal parasites. She has agreed to have these things done for him at her own expense, as we did not raise any extra funds for O'Malley (we actually still need to raise $1,227.42 to offset his bill).
We also had the touchy conversation regarding him being kept indoors only, and suggested a catio of some sort as an alternative. She has been very receptive to our advice and agreed he will be kept as an indoor-only cat from here on out.
O'Malley is settling back in at home now with his Mom, has already eaten and is overall doing amazing. This right here could not have been possible without all of your support from your generous donations to your kind words of

Final update β€οΈβπ©Ή: https://www.facebook.com/share/19WjbhfCCB/?mibextid=wwXIfr
One of our feral kittens, Othello, has been declining these past few days. He has been losing weight, lethargic, and has a nasty upper respiratory infection.
This past Wednesday, he was seen by Dr Ripepi where he had a convenia injection (antibiotic). He also recently had a fecal test done so we could check for parasites. Since then, we've been doing supportive care including B12, subq fluids, a high calorie supplement, probiotics, and Immuquin (an immune booster supplement). We are also applying prescription Erythromycin ointment to his eyes several times a day, and syringe feeding Ensure in between meals to increase his calorie intake and he currently only has interest in wet food.
We did notice some lice eggs on his fur this evening that we have never noticed before as it has been extremely difficult to near impossible to handle or get very close to this little guy during his time in foster care (he has a bite history with two of our fosters and is very unpredictable and has previously showed no warning before biting). That being said, he did get a Catego treatment, which kills cat lice (cat lice is only spread to other cats, not to humans or dogs but don't worry, he has been quarantined only with his siblings). His fecal test did come back positive for coccidia, so he is being treated for that currently as well.
If there is no improvement come tomorrow, we will be taking him to see Dr Dorazio at Akeso Vet. Yesterday was the first time we were able to administer meds to him and pet him without using Kevlar gloves, so that's how we know he is very weak and sick πΏ
Please send some healing vibes Othello's way β€οΈβπ©Ή We will continue to post updates on this little guy and are hopeful he starts to show some improvement on these medications and supportive care.
Gretchen said that the only thing she wants for Christmas is a home π‘πβ€οΈ
Gretchen said that the only thing she wants for Christmas is a home π‘πβ€οΈ She has been searching for one for 5 months, with no applications. She is 1 year old, fully vetted, and double negative for FIV and FeLV. She gets along with other adult cats, dogs, and does well with respectful children 7+. Gretchen is shy, but sweet and LOVES affection. Once you earn her trust, she will give you couch cuddles, roll over for tummy rubs, give love nibbles, and be your best friend. She would make the perfect cat for a person or family in a less active home, and that is looking for a companion. She is currently located in Burgettstown, PA. Please consider Gretchen β€οΈ An application can be submitted at kittyco.org/adoption-application.
