✨Ben is doing great!✨

Don’t mind the purple face! That’s the magic medicine (Doxycycline) that’s helping Mr. Ben recover from his Haemobartonella. He is doing amazing overall. Ben is eating, drinking, and using the litterbox. He’s even fighting us more on cleaning his dirty face! He’s honestly the sweetest cat, and we couldn’t be more thankful for the ongoing support. Here’s just a video from this evening of Ben after getting his nightly meds. 🐈💕 .

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and these pups and kitties would L❤️VE to be your Valentine!! Come visit today and find your next furever friend 🐾🩷💙

Boop is a one-year-old girl who loves attention and cuddles. She's good with other cats. People tend to look past her because of her scarred eye but that’s no fault of hers. She was brought in as a stray after being attacked by a dog.

Gouda & Blue Cheese is a bonded pair that must be adopted together. Gouda , 9 years old and Blue Cheese, 7 years old, are shy at first but once they come around are the sweetest boys who love attention. Gouda loves to talk and has the cutest meow. They do well with other cats but do need a calm house.

Mya is a 2-year-old deaf pittie who is the sweetest girl. Shes loves everyone but is dog selective so a meet & greet with any dogs in the house is a must.

Limp Biscuit is a 4-year-old beagle mix who is shy at first but the sweetest boy once he comes around. We are requiring a fence for Limp Biscuit since he got away from his last adopter and we were not able to catch him until after he was hit by a car. He is currently going through physical therapy to regain full use of his back leg. He’s doing great and we will teach the new adopter how to do this.

We are located at 3606 Elida Road, Lima. 419-991-1775. All available dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped.
Stop by during our open hours Wednesday-Friday 7:00pm, or Saturday noon-4:00pm to meet all of our adoptable cats! Applications can be downloaded on our website, ohiospca.org/adopt, and emailed to [email protected]
Applications typically take 2-3 days to process.

✨Ben is back at the shelter✨

Ben is finally back at the humane society recovering from hemobartonella. The doctors felt he was stable enough to be transferred back to our care to finish out his recovery. He will spend the next two weeks in medical isolation to prevent any other animals being infected. Once he is well enough we will get him neuter and ready for adoption. Ben is just one of over 200 cats currently in our daily care. We are running desperately low on cat litter with maybe less than a week supply left of clumping litter. If you would like to help Ben and his friends out we have listed some desperate needs out of shelter cats. Thank you for all your support!

Copper is a 2-year-old Bloodhound who is the sweetest girl. She does not realize her size so a family with small kids is not recommended as she can easily knock them down. Copper does need to be the only dog in the house.

Guppy is an 11-year-old very friendly and talkative girl. She does require a wet food only diet as she has no teeth. She also needs to be the only animal in the house.

Rosalyn is a 2-year-old lab who is shy at first but once she comes around you will see she is a sweet girl. She prefers a home with older kids and does require a fenced in yard. She is great with other dogs but will need to be cat tested.

Dude is a 2-year-old FIV+ staff favorite. He loves attention and is good with other cats.

Tiny is a 9-year-old young at heart, boxer mix. She does well with calm dogs but is not a fan of cats or hyper dogs.

✨Ben the warrior ✨🐈

What can we say….this little guy is a tough one! Saturday he had a body temperature less than 90 and could barely lift his head up. This morning he’s talking, less icterus (not as jaundice), and wanting out of his kennel. Over the last 24 hours we learned that Ben has something called Haemobartonella. Feline haemobartonellosis is an infectious disease caused by a bacteria of the mycoplasma which parasitizes red blood cells and can cause severe hemolytic anemia (damaged red blood cells). Haemobart causes severe anemia by causing the body to destroy infected cells, which in turn deprives the body of sufficient oxygen to function properly. Luckly for Ben he was able to seek help in time. Ben is still on the road to recovery and will be for a little while. We spoke with the doctor at the emergency clinic and they assure us the infection will run its course over the next couple of weeks and resolve with the doxycycline he’s currently on. Ben will continue his care locally and be transferred back to the humane society once the doctor is comfortable enough that he’s stable. We appreciate the continued support and care for Ben. A big thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, or sent positive thoughts his way. And to the wonderful medical staff who has taken excellent care of him.

✨⭐️Update on Ben⭐️✨

Mr. Ben has not only won hearts locally, but we have had several people reach out across the country to get updates on our courageous feline. He has been on IV fluids all day long while receiving continued care at a local vet clinic. Ben is feeling a little more spunky today and has continued eating for us! (He is working his way through all flavors of Churu). The doctor was very happy with the change in his demeanor throughout the day. He was transferred to the emergency clinic in Lima this evening to receive further overnight care. He will be transported back to his regular veterinarian in the morning for further hospitalization. We wanted to thank everyone on their continued support for Ben. He has stole our hearts, made a lot of happy biscuits, and reached for many hands to hold.

Medical fund contributions can be made at https://www.ohiospca.org/emergency-medical-funds or donations can also be mail or dropped off to 3606 Elida Road Lima, Ohio 45807.
