Many of you are asking if we have any involvement with the tragic LA fires... so here it is. Joy details our experience and what we excel at, and what to expect. IF we are called to help, we will do what we can, but right now, we are still a long way off from that. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected, people and animals included. ❤
Just a few days ago on Christmas Eve, Pici, or Peace, as we are calling her, was found in a parking lot near a dumpster.
A post about her was circulating online, and a volunteer notified FieldHaven. We immediately responded to gather more information. We wanted to help.
She wasn't far from our Marysville Cat Resource Center so we quickly rescued her.
Peace was in horrifying shape, but her future is bright thanks to YOU.
She was—and still is—extremely emaciated with a severely dirty, matted coat and an ugly mouth.
She was alert and chatty, which was a good sign, but because of how bad she looked we brought her to the ER at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Surprisingly, they found her to be fairly stable despite the condition she was in! She does have hyperthyroidism and dental disease but otherwise her bloodwork looks good.
On Christmas morning, she came home to FieldHaven. Her recovery was challenging. Because she was found in an advanced state of starvation, she is susceptible to refeeding syndrome, where rapid initiation of foods after such a period of malnourishment can cause the organs to shut down—making it a life-threatening condition.
To handle this, we need to feed her tiny meals throughout the day to give her body a chance to adjust to getting food again.
So far, she is doing good, and we are gradually increasing her food portions. When she’s not eating, she purrs, makes biscuits, and soaks up any attention she can get.
But wait! There’s more!
When we scanned Peace for a microchip, we found one—it was implanted 12 years ago by a shelter in the Bay Area. And while it didn't have updated contact information, after some serious sleuthing we found what appears to be her former family. Her real name is Leia, and the last time her family saw her was 11 years ago!
We've been in touch, but it’s a very complicated story, so we don’t know if or when she will be reunited with them (or even if she can).
What we do know is
Frodo is BEGGING for a home in time to ring in the new year, AND his adoption fee is sponsored so he goes home for FREE!
He's a special guy, 8-years-old, who MUST have indoor/outdoor access. While most cats we adopt prefer indoor-only lifestyles, Frodo is different. He howls when forced to be inside! He's sweet, handsome, curious, and into adventure. He's doing good with a catio space so far, but again, he really needs that secure, safe, supervised outdoor living space with someone who will watch over him and allow him to be who he is. That likely includes setting up an indoor/outdoor routine, so if you've got the space, the time, and the desire to make one kitty the happiest he can be, come meet him! Plus, while his adoption fee is sponsored, we do have super-reduced adoption fees for kittens and cats through the end of the year! 🐱❤

The cutest #FosterFriday video featuring Fish and Chips! These two were found in a box behind the fish and chips store in Marysville before they ended up in our care.
And check out these great bath tips from our volunteer Cherette! 😻 Volume up!
UPDATE:
Unfortunately, Tumble passed away overnight. He started seizing uncontrollably.
Thank you all for your prayers and positive vibes. Losses are always hard on our staff, but knowing that you all are there with us just as much for the sad times as the good times means the world to us. We are always going to continue to try. We are always going to continue to learn and save more.
*****
Another day, another emergency. Tumble was potentially exposed to toxins and is not doing well physically or neurologically. We’re rushing him to UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and need all the positive energy we can get… ❤️🐱
Do you remember recently we shared the story of the cage of cats found in a parking lot, and the gentleman brought them to our Marysville Resource Center? It was the week when everything that could happen, happened. Well, here they are then... and here they are now! Mom (Brigid) and Dad (Aengus) are available for adoption! They're bonded and as sweet as they can be! Meet them this Friday or Saturday at FieldHaven, or fill out an adoption application to schedule an appointment. They're ready for a home of their own! P.S. The kittens are doing well and getting big and strong!
