Hey 👋 Toothless!!
This is our newest kiddo!
And she’s a cutie pie!! W that adorable little face, and HUGE personality to match!
Shes a social butterfly and there isn’t a shy bone in her body!

Toothless was found as a kitten!
We had someone reach out about her a few months ago because she had a heart murmur
This lady is a tech- and was kind enough to do all the things for Toothless!
She had an echocardiogram done- which showed she has a 3/6 heart murmur
She has VSD - ventricular septal defect of the heart
This is a hole in the muscular wall (septum) that separates the two lower chambers of the heart (ventricles)
She has the same thing ocean does!
At the moment - Toothless is a symptomatic

She has been spayed, and is up to date on all vaccines
( rabies and FVRCP )
Microchipped
Negative for all intestinal parasites
And is otherwise a healthy girl!

Toothless is looking for a forever home!
She’s dog and cat friendly
Unsure about Kids

At some point in her life- if she ever becomes symptomatic ( coughing, elevated respiratory rate )
She will need to be started on heart medication.
We are willing to pay for medication if it ever gets to that point, and help the adopter w her care in any way we can!

She deserves a forever home!
She’s just a little special 🫶🏻

If you’re interested in adopting toothless
Or have any questions feel free to comment or PM us!
An adoption application can be found on our website

Starting to feel like a dog rescue 🥲
But that’s okay!

The day we took in Ophelia, I had a tech friend reach out about this teenie we**ie dude!

He came into the ER w low blood glucose, and couldn’t regulate his body temperature.
( that’s easy to fix! )

So of course I said yes to taking him in😅

He’s the cutest little bean, w the attitude of a big dog.
So his name is Marmaduke🤣
He definitely lives up to the name!
Since he’s been w us Marmaduke has been thriving!
He’s made a complete 360!

He’s getting multiple meals a day, to help regulate his sugar.
He’s currently camping out in the bean bakery *incubator*
He’s teenie- so regulating body temp is difficult..
And my feet are to big to make him sweaters from socks 🤣

We had some sweaters donated for Drako when we had him- but this dude is smaller than he is- so they don’t fit :/

But say hi to Marmaduke!
And send all the healing vibes and good juju his way!🫶🏻

Dunkin will always be the bestest nakey baby, but his poo problems will be the death of me 😩
When we got Dunkin he was having severe GI issues
Liquid stool, weight loss, stool leakage..
He was diagnosed w an intestinal parasite that we were treating but have since finished the medication.
He will have a f***l recheck in a week or two.
We have added a pancreatic powder to his food as well.

We have been feeding Dunkin a hydrolyzed diet (Z/D) and well.. he hates it.
This food is gross, disgusting, it’s rubbery, has no smell and no taste.
Wish is the exact opposite of what attracts a cat to their food😅

Getting him to eat it has been like pulling teeth.
And his pancreatic powder isn’t cheap, so I’ve had to dilute it in water and syringe it to him so it doesn’t go to waste!
He has continued to have a decline in his weight.
He stool has ‘slightly’ improved
He no longer leaks, but still has the worst liquid diarrhea I’ve ever seen…

One of our doctors recently went to VMX, and sat in on a nutritional conference! She sent us a few diets

And I reached out to a veterinary nutritionist about Dunkin, to discuss him and his case.

And we’ve come to the conclusion it’s best for us to switch him over to a single protein diet.
We chose alligator- so we have a wet and dry food option for our boy!
( kangaroo only has a freeze dried option and a 2 pound bag is 80$😭)
So alligator it is!🫡
These are the ONLY two single protein diets, recommended by a board certified veterinary nutritionist.
I have put in an order for the food, and I’m hoping 🤞 it comes in soon!

I’ll be gradually switching him over to this, and we’ll start a new food trial w our bubbas!!

I need all the good vibes sent our way for our p**py kitty🫶🏻

Thank you to everyone who donated towards Ophelia, and everyone who shared her post.
A huge shout out to everyone who jumped in and helped w her surgery!
Thank you to the Dr ! For always being simply amazing, and kicking ass in the surgical suite!!

Ophelia was surrendered to our rescue Friday .
When our Dr called and asked if we could take her in, how could I say no?
She’s a year old.
A young kitten w TONS of life ahead of her!

She doesn’t deserve to have her life cut short because she ate something she shouldn’t have.

Quite honestly - after Stella’s cystotomy I didn’t have the funds to pay for Ophelia’s surgery.
I owe our clinic the day services are rendered.
I was stressing out that I wouldn’t be able to pay Ophelia’s bill at the end of the day, but ALL OF YOU!
Came through! And made this possible for her!

Ophelia is recovering well!
Her surgery went smoothly, and her foreign body was removed.
It looks to be a giant bundle of hair ties that were stuck in her intestines.
She will be spending her recovery period here at the rescue, on oral antibiotics, anti inflammatory and pain medication

Her procedure cost us 806$ today
And I was able to pay her entire bill because of all of your donations!
I couldn’t be more grateful!

Thank you so so much to every person who helped us save Ophelia🩵
We definitely couldn’t have done it w out all of you!

❌❌THIS IS URGENT❌❌

Ophelia was brought into one of the clinics I work at.
She’s a super sweet 1 year old kitten w a
🔺FOREIGN BODY🔺
Meaning she ate something she shouldn’t have..

Her life is on the line.
She is in critical condition at the vet office RIGHT NOW.
The owner cannot afford surgery and elected euthanasia..
That’s why I am making this post.
The cat has been surrendered over to us, but we need to raise the funds ‼️NOW and QUICKLY‼️

W Stella’s surgery yesterday, our bank account is struggling..
But Ophelia is a young kitten with w WHOLE lot of life ahead of her!

She needs this surgery ASAP.
Estimated costs 7-900$ possibly more depending on what her intestines look like..

This is ❌‼️URGENT‼️❌
Our DR is willing to do the surgery TODAY to save her life.
Please help us, help Ophelia!

We are a 501c3
ALL donations are tax deductible.

1$ or even 5$ goes along way!
Thank you🫶🏻

Update on our Stella Bella! ( they all get nicknames around here 😅)

She had her surgery Thursday morning.
I was an absolute nervous wreck all morning.
The drive to work - probably the worst anxiety I’ve ever felt in my life.

I was beyond worried that her bladder would be damaged beyond repair once we opened her up.

Bladders are “suppose” to be paper thin.
They tear easily.
( she came to the clinic in August of 2024, and the stone was the same size than, so she def had it for a long time prior )

W a stone, as large as hers, brewing for an undetermined amount of time, our DRs were very concerned that they wouldn’t be able to close her bladder.

BUT
Her surgery went better than I excepted it to.
Her ureters are pretty enlarged.
Her kidneys have not been able to work properly, sense her bladder has been Inflammed / infected / clogged for so long.
Her bladder lining was SUUUPER thick ( which was a good thing in her case )

Her bladder stone measured a whopping 2.5 inches long.
It was massive!

Her recovery period is going to be tough.
She’s on oral medication, and IV fluids for the next few days to flush her kidneys out, and get everything working like they’re suppose to.
She will have recheck blood work next week, to make sure her kidney values are headed in the right direction- since they were elevated before her procedure.

I have to monitor her pretty closely for the next few days, but I’m hopeful she’ll pull through and be just fine!

She has been an absolutely amazing dog.
The sweetest angel face ever!
She’s been snoozing in the wonky room, and has adored all the cats!
Doesn’t bat an eye at them when she’s taken out of her kennel for walks- she tends to ignore them and keep walking.

She’s been a big ole sweet heart w everyone she’s met to!

Thank you to everyone who donated towards Stella’s surgery!
Her procedure costs us 706$
Because of all of YOU, she was able to get the life saving surgery she’s needed for a very long time!

I personally- cannot imagine the relief she feels! And am ecstatic to see where life takes her from here🩷

02/11/2025

Stella was brought into one of the clinics I work at in august, she had a massive bladder stone than, and the owner could not afford anything for this dog..
She presented to the clinic again, yesterday, w vomiting, not eating , blood in her urine, she was dehydrated and lethargic.
The owner opted to surrender Stella for a lack of funds.

She needs a cystotomy.
She needed one in August of last year.
Stella has been living w this massive bladder stone for quite some time..
She is uncomfortable, she’s painful, lethargic, she feels the constant need to urinate.
She strains when she goes to the bathroom.
She was so lethargic yesterday, she didn’t even want to walk, and had to be carried around.

Despite how dumpy she feels, Stella is the sweetest dog.. and she deserves to know a life of comfort and stability.

Her blood work results come in tomorrow.
But at the moment she is hospitalized at the rescue on IV fluids, and oral antibiotics and anti inflammatories to help make her more comfortable.
Stella’s surgery is scheduled for Thursday..

This is going to cost us roughly 7-900$ for her cystotomy.
She will have to be on a prescription urinary food afterwards, to help prevent this from ever happening again.

We have very little funds in the rescue acct- but how could I say no to saving Stella?

**Meet Oopsie & Daisy – The Ultimate Dynamic Duo!**

These two adorable sisters are looking for their forever home together! Oopsie and Daisy came to us as tiny kittens with severe upper respiratory infections.
While Oopsie lost vision in one eye, it doesn’t slow her down one bit—she’s just as playful, energetic, and mischievous as her sister!

These girls are the definition of FUN. They are hyper, playful, and always up for an adventure. Whether they’re zooming around the house, chasing toys, or wrestling with each other, they’ll keep you entertained with their antics.

✅ **Bonded Pair – Must be adopted together!**
✅ **Dog & Cat Friendly** – They love making new furry friends!
✅ **Kid Approved** – Great with children and love to play!

Oopsie and Daisy are looking for a family that will embrace their playful spirit and give them all the love they deserve. Could that be you?

**If you’re interested in adopting these sweet sisters, please fill out an adoption application on our website to schedule a meet and greet!
The rescue is located in Deltona FL.

Oopsie and Daisy are microchipped
And negative for all intestinal parasites

FOSTER FOUND- thank you

I have a huge heart for animals.
Even though I (try) to be strictly a cat rescue, if a dog in need happens to cross my path, I won’t bat an eye when it comes to helping them.

And that’s how we got wishbone!
This little dude came into one of the clinics I work at.
He was found as a stray a few months ago, and the family decided to keep him.
And by “keep him” he was tethered in their backyard.
Someone called animal control, and they required the ‘owners’ to get him veterinary care.

He is very thin, underweight, has a nasty skin infection, 6/6 heart murmur, pale, and is absolutely infested w fleas and intestinal parasites ( literally had worms in his stool 😵‍💫 )

Presented the ‘owners’ w an estimate for treatment and diagnostics, they said “ we don’t have money so we’ll bring him to animal control”
WELL. Silly ole me 😩
How could I say no to this cute little face!!

So little man was surrendered to us!
He is heart worm negative
F***l results come back in the next day or two
He is being dewormed at the rescue
Has gotten flea prevention
Has been bathed
Normal PCV ( packed cell volume ) to check for anemia
Iron supplements and is currently decompressing and soaking up all the love and attention he can get.

Wishbone is terrified..
I don’t think he’s ever been an inside dog.
He’s is currently shut down.
Petrified, and doesn’t know what to do w himself.
He’s had a rough life, and we’re hoping to make life better for him!

He’s warmed up some.
He loves his new bed, he’s a huge fan of his bones! And has been very sweet, and well mannered during his stay.

Wishbone is looking for a foster or foster to adopt home.
pet adoption center Inc
Is going to help us find this for him.
Their application is attached below

He has been around cats and has done fine w them.
He has not been introduced to other dogs.
He is in his decompression period, and we will take things at his own pace.
So far, he is potty and crate trained.
Doesn’t know how to walk on a leash and asks to be held ( little dog syndrome )😅

His ideal foster or foster to adopt home would be one that is quiet.
Low traffic, and doesn’t have a lot going on.
The less chaos the better.

Preferably no small children
Sense we do not know his history

And someone who can keep him, and their other pets separated until he is comfortable and can begin introductions safely and on his terms.

He will need a foster home for roughly 2/3 months, before he’ll be eligible for adoption.
If you’re interested in fostering please reach out to perfect pet adoptions
All supplies and medical covered
Fostering comes at no costs to you!

Pumpkin ( as most of you know ) is one of our special pups we have in the rescue!
It’s been a month since her neurology visit, and since then, she’s been growing like a w**d!
She’s up to 7.5 pounds now!!
With her massive growth spurt she needed a bigger bedroom!
I set it up for her today, and needless to say she loves it 😭😭
She’s already potty trained herself to the grass pad, and has been running and playing w her toys😩😭
I’m one happy foster momma!

The wonky room is now pretty cramped 😅
But pumpkin needed this upgrade in her life!

We are running low on funds
W 200$ in our rescue account we unfortunately have to pause Intake until we can replenish some funds.
As most know- we do not have the luxury of racking up bills at the vet office, to pay them off later.
We owe every vet office we use, at the time of service.
Without money IN our acct, we cannot intake ANY animals.
And we unfortunately cannot afford any emergency visits right now

We are a 501c3- which means any funds, or items donated are tax deductible.
Any contribution to the rescue would be amazing right now!
W kitten season right around the corner we need to be able to intake the wee little ones!

I have never, in the two years running this rescue, have had to turn off commenting on a post because it got so out of hand.
For what reason? No idea.

This is pickle.
We took pickle into the rescue Monday evening after his owner could not afford surgery and hospitalization to unblock him.
He was surrendered to our rescue, we unblocked him at our vet.
The following day, he pulled his urinary catheter out ( this is pretty common, considering the only thing holding a urinary catheter in place is sutures on the pre-puce, and this skin is very thin and fragile )

We brought him back to the vet, and had it placed again.
Wednesday night, he pulled his urinary catheter AGAIN.
At this point, he urine was clear. ( when it was blood tinged as shown in the photos )

He had been on 3 days of IV fluids and medications, so, w the recommendation from our vet, we took the leap to see if he was able to urinate on his own.
And WELL!!
This morning he used the litter box!!😩

Pickle is quite literally the sweetest cat, biggest purr box, and wants nothing but love and attention.
We cannot wait till he is able to find his forever family again!

To stem off of Pickles story : we also had a few comments regarding us keeping Pickle here, at the rescue, on his IV fluids and Urinary catheter.
These were comments made by individuals and other rescues.

I do not believe this was said for ill intent.
I don’t think everyone knows what I do for a living - outside of the rescue..

So I do want to clear the air on this subject.
I have been a veterinary technician for 8 years.
I have worked general practice, emergency, and speciality medicine.
I have a very extensive background in the field..
I have 8 years of experience, knowledge and education.

Me being, a vet tech, is also a HUGE reason I opened this rescue.
Because of my background, and my experience, I am able to hospitalize rescue animals here w us.
These animals receive MORE one on one care, and observation here, than they would in a hospital setting.

They are under the supervision of their DR the entire time, and they are always a phone call away if I need anything.

Keeping Pickle here w us for 3 days, saved the rescue ( and our donors ) almost 5k in ER bills.

If I can do all of this for 648$ and they receive the same, if not more care here.
Than why not do it?
I have the skill set, equipment, medication, ETC..

At the end of the day, animals are being saved.
Lives are being saved.
And no one is put in jeopardy or harms way.
And that is all that should matter.

On this wonky Wednesday post, I wanted to highlight a VERY special kitten in my life
One that really shaped, and founded my love for special needs animals ( especially kittens )

3 years ago yesterday, I was working at a vet clinic- I rescued independently at this time and took in a litter of 4 little blonde babies.

One of them was the sweetest girl, who I named “Nala”
She was shut in a door as a kitten, resulting in hind limb paralysis and urinary Incontinence.

I learned everything I know now from this kitten.

This is where my love for homeopathic care comes in as well. I did daily laser therapy and PT on a daily basis.
Acupuncture and chiropractic visits 2-3x a week.
We dabbled in hydrotherapy, hyperbaric chambers, and Assisi loops..

I had Nala for almost a year.
And in that year, she regained full use of her hind limbs.
By the time she found her forever home, she was urinary continent and could use a litter box all on her own!
By the time she found her forever home- she was a normal kitten! Which was absolutely bitter sweet to see such an amazing transformation

Nala taught me SOOO much in the time I had her.
She fueled my love and passion for special needs animals.
And she was a huge reason I opened this rescue.
So today is for Nala🩵
The kitten who has shaped me, and ( even though she does know it) has made a huge impact on so many special lives!

Katness may need some extra attention when it comes to her care, but she promises to return the love tenfold. She’s looking for a compassionate adopter who can provide the support she needs and a lifetime of love.

Her condition has been managed amazing sense being here at the rescue!
She is fed a wet food ONLY diet, and is able to use the restroom w no issues.
9/10 she uses the litter box, but will occasionally have a p**p accident on her way there ( not often though )

Today, we were contacted by a local vet office who had a client come in with a blocked cat.
They unfortunately couldn’t afford surgery- so we cordinated intake to our rescue!

Buddy- now Pickle, was brought to my vet today, and we unblocked him.
He is currently at the rescue for the next week receiving IV fluids and has a urinary catheter placed to drain his bladder to prevent him from blocking again.

What is a urinary blockage:

The medical term for a cat urinary blockage is urethral obstruction, since the urethra is the portion of the urinary tract where the blockage usually occurs. You may also hear this condition referred to as a “blocked cat.” Regardless of the term used, a urinary tract blockage means your pet can’t empty their bladder.

In normal cat anatomy, urine is produced in the two kidneys and travels down their respective tubes (ureters) to the bladder. When a pet is ready to urinate, the urine travels from the bladder down a single tube (urethra), through the p***s in males and v***a in females, to the outside.

Urinary blockage occurs most commonly in male cats because the male urethra is skinnier than the female one and more prone to blockage.

Unless quickly corrected, this blockage can result in life-threatening consequences such as kidney failure, bladder rupture (tear), and dangerous electrolyte abnormalities that can affect the heart.

Unblocking Pickle at our vet costs us 439$ and some change.
And his medical bills continue to pile up as the week progresses.

His urinary catheter will be removed Friday in hopes he can urinate on his own.

We need all the good vibes, prayers, and donations sent our way to help us continue funding pickles medical care.

Welcome to the rescue pickle baby🩵🩵
