π₯ΌHappy marvelous case Monday!π©Ί A few months ago a very sick kitty was rushed in, and it didn't look good. When hypothermia sets in, the organs slowdown, and if not corrected, start to fail. Damage can be permanent. This kitty was close to death upon arrival and we weren't sure if he was going to survive. We put everything in to pulling him through... and it worked. π His faculties returned and abnormalties slowly went away- only a titch of wobbliness remains. π As he normalized, you could tell he wanted to enjoy human companionship but he was weary and jumpy. πΏ We worked on socializing him in hopes to allow him to feel comfortable being adopted. Success! He went home recently to a friend of a great client of ours, and so far so good. ππ©΅π We are grateful and Sam is blessed. π― #adoptDontShop #miraclesHappen
We will never get Jacoby's side of the story- was he hit by car? Tractor (he IS from the south)? Abused? Swung around? ππ
Whatever happened, we are glad it's behind him. His leg was out of the socket and stuck in an abnormal position causing further issues. He suffers from a bad neurological condition (probably all from one big terrible incident) which also affects his pen*s and bladder. π But he handled surgery like a star to remove the worst of the 2 legs and is learning how to rebalance himself. Look at him go!
Rescue is a hard job, even harder when you take sick, potentially forever, afflicted in. Thank God there are places like Perfect Imperfections that do give these innocent loves a second chance. A little bit goes a long way, please consider donating as they have many like Jacoby that have expensive medical bills and are pricey "fix-er-uppers". #HelpToKeepItGoing
This cat was found in a carrier outside of a fire station 10/5.π She was absolutely covered in mats. We examined her, gave her a rabies vaccine and worked on those terrible knots. With patience and lots of breaks, we were able to remove all the mats without having to shave or sedate her. π€ She is very sweet and loves people- we hope she is matched with a good home soon. π€ If you know any information or are interested in adopting her, please contact Hamden Animal Control. Until then, we will keep spoiling her and lovin" on her, and of course, dieting her. #SeeSomethingSaySomething
Orville and Wilbur are survivors. Because they were born blind which won't make any money, π€¬ these two were dumped by a breeder like a bad habit at a shelter who scheduled them for euthanasia. Just in the nick of time, Perfect Imperfections scooped them, thereby saving them. We offered to foster since puppies needs lots of one on one for the best chances of a well balanced and well adjusted temperament.
These amazing 12 week old nuggets are ready for their forever homes!
π©· Crate trained
β€οΈ Sleep through the night

π Smart, fast learners- already know basic commands
π Gentle cuddle bugs

They'd do fine living with other animals but being typical puppies full of energy- choose wisely with young children with poor balance π€£and senior pets who don't like their boundaries broken. π―
Please help us circulate these handsome boys so we can get applicants- they want AND DESERVE a place and person to call their own! #adoptDontShop
π₯ΌHappy marvelous case Monday!π©Ί A tail proving black πββ¬s aren't always the anti-good luck. Remember our found- in-a-bush friend?! Arrived soaking wet, hypothermic, blind, neurologic, unable to walk, yellow skinned.πππ
It was NOT looking good, quite bleak actually. But we asked Animal Control for a few days to tinker around since cats can be magical. Lookie lookie who decided to join the be alive party! Eating like a π, π© like a horse, skin normal color, π-a-seeing and legs-a- walking!!! π» #neverSayNever #7LivesLeft
This kitty seems to have been loved by a human at some point (head bunts, elevator butts) and we are hoping to make that happen again for him. π€ππ€ #microchipYourPetsPlease
It's never too early to start command training. In fact, the earlier the better (along with socialization) to make your doggie a happier and better canine citizen.πΆ
β¨οΈβ¨οΈPatience, repetition, short frequent HAPPY sessions are π. Aim for a hungry but just exercised pup for the most attention. #ADDtoddlers
The life saving commands like sit or down, stay, leave or drop it, and heel are the most important. βπ½
Who needs eyes when you have πs and π§ s as sharp as theirs? Not even 3 months old and they are acing basic puppy training!! π― Although 2 blind foster puppies aren't a walk in the park when you have a full time job and animals of your own, but these guys are truly great babies- making it look easy (pun intended). #FosterFun
πThey are up for adoption, how can anyone resist these heart throbs? Visit Perfect Imperfections Rescue to apply. #adoptDontShop

TGIF. πKodiak knows how to summer properly! πββοΈThanks to his foster parents- he's having a blast. We made sure to stop by to check out his new digs. We had to ensure everything was copesthetic including the pool and the poolside bar- you can never be too safe. π€£πΉπ€£ππ€£ We couldn't be happier for him- he deserves it. Let's pray for a foster fail... ππ€ππ€ #YOLOKodiak #HandsomeAthlete
TGIF! Kicking today off with a sweet video of 2 patients that were here for serious ailments (although it doesnt appear so). Isnβt it amazing, that no matter how sick they were, or that they didn't know each other, or were very different breeds and sizes- they never passed up an opportunity to be silly and have fun. π They had a break from their intense nursing schedule of treatments to enjoy recess several times a day while being hospitalized. We had to boost their happy thoughts as we really think it helps with healing... don't you? #ThePowerOfTheMind #HolisticHealing
P.S.- both had a full recovery and are doing great in their new respective homes. π©·ππ©·π
π₯ΌHappy marvelous case Monday!π©Ί This little lady was brought to us in a worrisome state. She likely would have died in a few hours- she was hypothermic, jaundice, neurological, unresponsive, and paralyzed from the waist down which brought a whole host of other medical issues. ππ
We took her in and gave her a chance to pull through. π€ With hours of nursing care, many medicines and various supplements, she very slowly showed signs of improvement over 3 weeks. She started to eat, then her body temperature stabilized, followed by her mental status normalizing. Her jaundice slowly faded and amazingly enough she regained control of her legs! π She became strong and quite fierce, showing us her feralness, which we respected. #guardianAngelSheHad
Once she was well enough to fend for herself, her wishes were granted and we returned her to the area she was originally found. What a miraculous recovery she made - but she might have used 3-4 of her 9 lives! #neverSaynever
Fall 7 times, stand up 8.
Suny is a vet in his own country. He came here to seek a less violent and fearful life, but of course, that came with a price. No rose without thorn.
He worked hard to support his family by doing any job necessary at any hour. He was pushed by his peers (Dr. Stewart probably being the most vocal- shocker) to take the US equivalency exam to help support his family easier and because deserves to work his passion he earned years ago.
Vet school isn't hard enough, so let's do it twice, years after the first time, in a foreign language! π΅βπ«π΅βπ« The foreign exam is tough (putting it lightly) and under challenging circumstances, by design. He had to jump many hurdles and disgustingly enough, had to endure discrimination which added to the mania. Needless to say, the light was dim in the tunnel many times but he never gave up.
Regardless, he found time to study, shadow and then intern with us, all while working full time with a part time job to boot. You knew he was in the building because you'd hear Dr. Stewart's tough love coaching "nope- think harder", "good, now do it again", "close but no cigar, gotta know this", etc. π€£π€£ He was close to letting go of his dreams but he persevered. We call him doctor now. π₯³π₯³
He's a selfless humble man, always doing for others. He's just the biggest sweetheart so we figured he'd absolutely LoVe us crashing his college class to announce his victory and dote on him a bit! #embarrassingFriend π€£π€£

Happy marvelous Monday! We couldn't get enough of these two poor neglected pups- we took them out for extra recess any chance we got because they deserved that and so much more. This smart cheery pup learned how to fetch in 2 days after watching Ryder- at first, we didn't even want to attempt it with him because of his painful dental disease. π We think he was really just trying to please/show off for us cheerleaders π€£ but aren't dogs just unbelievable! We are so blessed that they can move on from their terrible past and wags their tails for new beginnings. β€π #2ndchances

After many stages of procedures and healing periods in the last 5 weeks, this was the final goal we were preparing him for- will Frost be able to eat on his own ever again?? π Dr. Stewart removed most of this teeth 2 weeks ago so he could close his mouth as anatomically correct as possible to prevent further mouth injury & we've been nursing him through this last procedure. There were doubts, there were some docs that said "no way with his injuries", there were tears, there were some that just said "put him down- he's suffering". π’π€ Dr. Stewart was uber stressed out this weekend with the thought of failure or with letting people down including Mr. Frost. π₯π³ She gave him her favorite pink magic (vitamin B12) for the trial. We hope you all get the same happy tears watching this as we did when we checked in to see what all the commotion was in his cage. π» #frostlove #neversaynever #hehadafewlivesleft Thank you to all of those that supported him and us. Thank you to Animal Haven for once again believing in one of Dr. Stewart's projects. Special thanks to some recent support: the Monocchi and Evans family for their generous donations, the Camner family for his lovely fluffy bed (he won't come out of it) and Kat for taking amazing care of him for the week (and he loves his chewbacca blankie!!!). πππ
