Meet Emma! We made a trip to Aurochs Veterinary Service today to see how we can help her. She needs some tlc & a possible lump removal in the future. We are also looking at a pretty big monthly expense between food and allergy meds. This Girl needs some help!! Meet Emma!! This poor lady was brought to the shelter after her elderly mom was found deceased at home. We have no idea how long she was alone. As you can see she is suffering from some allergies!! She was on Allergy pills but shelter manager states they can not get her to take pills in shelter so we gave her injectable Alllergy medication but unfortunately for her size it is about $150 every 4-8wks !! She also could use a special food. We donated a bag of Purina pro plan sensitive skin and stomach but the shelter could use your help with some more!! If you want to donate to Emma, you can put money on our account at Aurochs Veterinary Service or have food shipped directly to us to help this poor lady out!!

Meet little Kona, the only surviving kitten from a litter of 4. She will be seeing the vet soon to assess her ongoing upper respiratory symptoms as well as lack of appetite. She’s such a fighter for how little she is! Any donation helps with her care-no amount is too small. Can you spare a few dollars to help our sweetie Kona? Donations can be dropped off/sent to the shelter or made via PayPal. I’m including the shelter website below and if you go to the home page and look on the upper right hand side, you will see a Donate button. Click on that and you will be taken to our PayPal. If I include a PayPal link directly in this post, it seems to expire after a certain amount of time. Any questions just reach out😸. Thank you so much for helping Kona and everyone else at the shelter!

Meow Alert! Our shelves are looking pretty bare and we are in need of the following to continue to help almost 90 cats under our care:

1. Adult Dry Cat Food-Preferred brand is Purina One but we will accept any kind.
2. Canned Cat Food-Any brand is accepted but the kitties seem to like Friskies. Here's a link to our Amazon Wish List if that helps! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/26H0879CTI071?ref_=wl_share

Any donations can be dropped off/sent to the shelter. Thank you so so so much! We could not help these cuties without your support!

When Yo-Yo first arrived, he hid in his kennel all day. Now he comes out to watch everything happening in the cat room - baby steps! Kitties like Yo-Yo usually become long-term residents because it can take a while to find the right family to love and care for them.
Check him out 😸 and share his info!

About Marshmallow (Non Profit Animal Rescue & Shelter)​

Marshmallow is a non-profit rescue and shelter that was set up in honor of ‘Cocoa’ and her ‘Eleven Marshmallows’, a Labrador mom who had been abandoned and locked in a house for 3 weeks. Rescued by an Iowan Sheriff and obviously pregnant, she was taken to a local veterinarian. After receiving her donated care and through the generosity and compassion of many, Cocoa came to rest in Minnesota at the Livingston-Wiedewitsch home and went on to whelp an astonishing eleven puppies. All were adopted into loving homes, but there are more that need our help. The ultimate goal, of course, is to end this nightmare of unwanted companion animals, which can only be accomplished through heightened public awareness and active promotion of a spay/neuter program. Let us explain that Marshmallow is also part of the Seven-City Animal Impound, which is a public resource for stray, abandoned and rescued companion animals, and serves the cities of Audubon, Callaway, Detroit Lakes, Frazee, Lake Park, Waubun, and Mahnomen. We also cover Becker County if needed. Animals brought to our facility are impounded for five (5) days, by law, then turned over to the Marshmallow Foundation so that basic medical care and physical needs may be met. At this point, they become the Marshmallow Foundation's responsibility for long-term care, feeding, housing and medical treatment, including vaccinations, until they can be adopted.We are a ’low-kill’ facility, so often, animals are with us for several months and sometimes years until homes can be found. Supporting these areas takes a community effort and we rely heavily on people from all of these communities to help as much as they are able!
