At risk!! Last night I visited Raveena in her kennel in medical where she’s staying while recovering from an upper respiratory infection. Her kibbles were scattered on her blanket, seemingly untouched, and that is a sure sign that this elderbull isn’t feeling well. When we met her last weekend, her tail literally helicoptered for treats. Nonetheless she wiggled around her little kennel and thumped her tail against the back when she saw me. She climbed the bars and pressed herself to them, and cried mournfully at me. I can’t imagine how much she’d rather be recovering in a home, with a person she barely even knows, instead of the shelter. We gave her treats that were more tempting than kibble so that she could at least get some calories in her, and left knowing she was already at risk.
On another day, just a weekend ago, in better health, Raveena won my heart instantly. She was in a crate stomping her little feet impatiently at me as I approached. Her gray face looked worn, and I have since learned she was found stray and believed by the finder to be owned by a homeless person in the neighborhood. She was full of sass and she jumped her arthritic little body around, making a big show for a little treat.
In addition to presumed arthritis and an upper respiratory infection, Raveena has mammary masses. She is available to beginner level homes, and would really love one to recover in. She’s available directly via the shelter or if you prefer a rescue, you can complete the prescreener in our bio. Her ID is #255268 and she’s at Queens ACC.
