Meet Squirrel, an adult domestic long hair cat. Since he is long haired he will need to be brushed which he seems to enjoy. He came in with some matted fur which lead us to shaving him prior to placing him up for adoption. He is freshly groomed and ready for his new home. It does take him some time to warm up to people so you just need to have some patience with him. After that he will show you his lovable self. He does enjoy getting pet and when you stop he'll look at you with the face of why did you stop. If you think his handsome boy is a match made in heaven come on in today and meet him.

Hello everyone we really need your help! We currently have a sweet dog named Daffi who was adopted from our shelter (FIRST STATE ANIMAL CENTER & SPCA) back in 2017. She was recently picked up by animal control running the streets in January of this year and brought to another shelter in our area. Her microchip was scanned and came back to being adopted from our facility. She was then returned into our care. During her intake we realized she had severe ear infections in both ears. Our veterinarian administered strong oral antibiotics and twice daily drops but with no results after 2 weeks. A culture was taken from the ears and sent out to the lab coming back as a drug resistant bacteria called pseudomonas that has had a long time to fester from neglect of treatment for a prolonged period of time. Despite multiple sedated flushes and more strong otic antibiotics and steroids she was still suffering (whining and crying out continuously)from excruciating pain. Our veterinary team determined she needed to be seen by a specialist. We scheduled a consultation at aavec in Annapolis Md. Daffi unfortunately needs a TECA or total ear canal ablation and partial removal of the ear flap from cauliflower ear that the specialist said was also causing her pain. They are trying to save the right ear canal (hence the reason the CT is needed on the estimate)but the bacteria is also present on that side just not as severe. Unfortunately if we do not act soon we’re told the bacteria is going to pe*****te the bone and reach her brain then it will be too late to save her. She loves everyone she meets including the specialist who said “she’s such a sweet dog”. She also loves other dogs too. She has been suffering for far too long and deserves too live a happy pain free life in a loving home. Please help us help daffi get to live many more happy years
