Beth was found by Animal Control in rough shape. They reached out to MCP Rescue and Outreach to get her transferred to get the help she needed. We hospitalized Beth on Tuesday night with a very low temperature and severe dehydration. She was warmed and started on IV fluids. On Wednesday morning, she was wagging her tail and greeted our technician with kisses and snuggles! She still has some healing to do, so she headed to foster today so she could get big and strong!

Loaf, Sumac, Simi, and Nutmeg came in for their spay and neuter surgeries this week. They are very sweet and brave puppies! Their foster family with Second City Canine Rescue has done an amazing job helping their mom raise them. Now that they have had their surgeries, we hope these great pups get their forever homes soon!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We are closed today and through the weekend. We return to normal hours on Monday. Pictured is Dr. Von Waldau’s cat Lulu, whose eyes are a little bigger than her stomach. Enjoy your holiday!

This handsome boy was a giant purrbug when he came to see us to get neutered this week. Once a kitten on the streets, a Feral Feline Project foster has helped him learn that humans are pretty cool and turned him in to a happy house panther. Feral Feline Project does a lot of TNR, but also works with fosters to socialize kittens who can then find forever homes!

Argh Mateys! 🏴‍☠️ This little Pirate is Winx. UPDATE. She’s all healed now and growing up. See new photo in comments below.

Her eye patch is to help her surgery site heal. We have been working with Forever Fortunate Felines to help Winx heal from an eye removal surgery that was done elsewhere. Unfortunately, the site had become infected and we had to perform multiple procedures to fix it. The great news is that Winx is a strong little swashbuckler and is on the mend! ❤️‍🩹

Happy Halloween from Winifred, Mary, and Sarah Sanderson! Chicago Rescue Authority brought these ladies in for their spays today. Have a safe holiday!

Mavery doesn't have small teeth. She has gums that are covering over her teeth (gingival hyperplasia). Gingival hyperplasia can create pockets where hair, debris, bacteria, and tartar can accumulate and lead to faster progression of periodontal disease. In Mavery's case it was also hiding that she had multiple painful fractured teeth. Pictures below show before dental surgery and after. Painful teeth were extracted and gingival tissue cut back. Mavery is with MCP Rescue and Outreach and now has a healthy and fresh smile.

This is a toe-bean appreciation post! We have been obsessed with all the adorable cat paws we have gotten to see this week. Suni and Jade were in this week for their spays and we just thought their tootsies were real cute! Friends of Petraits is caring for these adorable babies and their mom and litter mates.

Chico couldn’t stop giving our Technician all the hugs and kisses when he came in for his vaccine appointment. This hunk walked in and said “I love you guys!” and showered us with affection. Midwest Working Dog Rescuepulled this guy out of Chicago Animal Care and Control and in to a foster home. He is still learning what personal space is, but who needs that anyway 🤣

Khalie is just the sweetest girl that she couldn’t help wagging her tail, even though she was still recovering from anesthesia. Khalie is with Chi-Town Pitties, Inc. and came in to be spayed this week. We loved her and wanted to share just how sweet this little pittie lady is! P.S. some more cute pictures in comments

This kitten is so tiny she fits in a pocket, and that’s why her name is Polly! This little bottle baby is being fostered by our very own Dr. Kompare and was rescued by Community Animal Rescue Effort - CAREwhen she was abandoned at their shelter. We have gotten the joy of watching this little one grow over the past 3 weeks since she comes to work so she can get her feedings. She’s just too dang cute, it’s pretty hard to get any work done! P.S. more cuteness in comments

Chip is here to say hello cause he is our Rescue of the Week! Newman Nation: Senior Pets United has been caring for this senior gent for 2 years and he recently lost his bonded pair- his biological mom. His foster had the following to say “He is finding his new normal and soaking up all the extra attention. He loves going on outdoor adventures and moonlighting as a vacuum cleaner indoors. He is the cuddliest snuggle bug and house sentinel. We’re hoping the tragedy of losing his mom will turn into the blessing of a forever family of his very own.” Chip came to see us for a dental to be in tip-top shape so he can find his forever home!

Squee! This kitten is just too darn cute not to make our Rescue of the Week. Cali is being treated for an upper respiratory infection and has some growing to do, but she is in a Cat Care And Rescue Inc foster home that is helping her recover. We hope we brightened your day with her adorableness!

Our Rescue of the Week is this handsome trio of kittens from A Little R & R Animal Sanctuary Inc. Bingo, Fortnight, and So Long came to see us this week to get neutered (they are sedated in these pictures). They were the sweetest, silliest little boys and we were happy to get them one step closer to finding their forever homes!

Science Fun!

Our new shipment of Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody arrived today and our technicians had some science fun 👩‍🔬 with the dry ice it shipped on!

Zena might be the easiest cat to give subcutaneous fluids to ever! Also, check the comments for her smolder 🔥. Zena hadn’t been feeling 💯 since she was sprung from Chicago Animal Care and Control by Friends of Chicago Animal Care and Control . Dr. Kompare was able to check her out and gave her some fluids to help her feel better. We just fell in love with her sweet personality and gorgeous face so she had to be our #rescueoftheweek

Love when my patient wakes up calm but happy after surgery.
