Saving Snoots Animal Rescue

12/14/2024

Saving Snoots was blessed yesterday by Gleaning For The World. We were able to purchase at rock bottom price, a whole pallet of mixed dog food, a pallet of dog beds, and a pallet of cat litter to help with the new "cat- kitten rescue division" of our rescue. We dont know what we would do without their help. No way our little rescue could survive without deals like this, and our donors who keep us going, so we can keep going saving lives of our furry friends. THANK YOU Everyone at Gleaning, especially James!! You all ROCK!
And Thank you our foster Lisa Wintermute for driving over to pick up our goodies.

Some of you will remember a few weeks ago when Nancy P. Watson and I were trapping kittens and I grabbed that really nice Mama kitty. A young man came up to me and asked if I wanted another cat. Jokingly I said NO.. I dont need another cat. Why?? He told me about a very sweet cat whos owner had died and when the family cleaned out the house the cat was put out as well. He was very concerned and had been going over and feeding her what he could and checking on her but asked me if I could PLEASE take her. Of course I told him Id work something out. I gave him a few cans of cat food and my number. Well FINALLY I had time at the same time he did and we were able to coordinate. So right before Im ready with a crate to head to town to grab kitty, he texts me and tells me there is now ANOTHER mama kitty and 2 kittens. OK... So I load another crate, a trap, and head out. I get there, I pick up mama 1, (who is now named Marshmellow according to Eden). He grabs mama 2, and the babies bolt. So I set the trap and within 10 minutes we have baby 1. The guy he was with said he had a trap at his place and was willing to go get it and try to catch the other baby, while I ran the 3 home and settled in. Im JUST ready to text him when he texts me and says hes got baby 2. So I run to town and get that one. When I get there, what do I see but a male cat, AND ANOTHER female calico cat. ALL THESE CATS ARE FRIENDLY BY THE WAY.. He asked me if I was gonna take them too and I said, UH no. I cant, I have literally NOWHERE for them, BUT as soon as I can find a rescue or foster or SOMETHING for these 4, I will be back and AT LEAST get them fixed. Now mind you, I STILL have the mama and 1 surviving baby from when Nancy and I were trapping a few weeks ago.

Fast forward to last night, Nancy texts me and says someone saw a little black kitten in town at a store and asks could I go check when I go thru. I pull up to the store and what do I see but a TEENY TINY little black kitten. I walk over, certain its gonna bolt, but NOPE. It sits there and lets me pick it up. So off we go. Kitten in crate.. kitten is screaming until I get it out of the crate and put it in my lap. And there it was.. happy. This one is little, still has blue eyes but clearly doesnt like to be alone so I get home and let mama 2 (the one with the 2 babies) sniff the baby. She immediately starts washing it like its her own baby. Im happy, baby is happy and mama is being an awesome mama. SO..... I PLEASE NEED HELP!! I would NEVER turn away ANY animal in need, but Saving Snoots Animal Rescue is mainly a dog rescue. While I do have cats of my own, cats arent really my area of expertise. I know that sounds dumb but after loosing 6 of the 7 kittens from the last rescue, Im a little gun shy. I really dont want anything to happen to these.
SO PLEASE... If you are a rescue that has space, I have SEVERAL cats and kittens that need rescue.

CALLIE, No idea how old, beautiful white, grey and calico. She has been wormed.
TINA..1 baby female dark calico, that I believe is Callies baby, also wormed.

Marshmellow, Female, mostly white with a little orange calico type markings. (Believed to be older possible senior)

1 Female, white calico tiger with gold eyes..
2 babies.. 1 white and orange and 1 almost twin to mama, white calico tiger.
1 tiny black maybe 6 weeks old, still has blue eyes.

ALL ARE SWEET AND CAN BE HANDLED. THE 2 KITTENS WITH MAMA ARE A LITTLE SHY BUT NOT AT ALL HISSY AND WARM UP QUICK.

ALL THE OTHERS WILL COME TO YOU TO BE PETTED AND ARE VERY NICE CATS.

PLEASE MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE SPACE. ID LOVE TO GO GET THE MALE, BEFORE HE SPREADS HIS SEED MORE, AND THE REMAINING CALICO BUT I CANNOT DO THAT UNTIL I MOVE THESE.

PS SAVING SNOOTS IS BROKE RIGHT NOW AND WITH ALL THAT WENT ON WITH OUR LITTLE BONES, I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET THEM SHOTS AND TESTS AND ALTER, SO IF ANYONE WANTS TO HELP WITH THAT I CAN GET IT DONE.

PLEASE SHARE..
THANK YOU

UPDATE on our Little Bones. We got the pathology report back and its absolutely worst case scenario. The ONE thing we all hoped and prayed it NOT to be. We really werent prepared for this because this type of mass is very rare on the kidney. They usually attack the spleen or liver. Im posting screen shots of what it is and the prognosis, but in a nutshell, its incurable, (removing the mass gave him some time) but the vet said he has maybe 1-3 months. To say we are devistated doesnt even scratch the surface. This type of cancer os basically in the blood vessels from what I understand, its very aggressive and nasty. Because its in the blood, it travels and attacks anywhere it wants. All we can do at this point is give him steroids to possibly slow it down, and I have ordered some natural mushroom powder with several cancer fighting mushrooms, turkey tail mushrooms and a couple others that help boost immunity. We will pay close attention to his overall health and activity level. Right now he is eating, and acting his normal happy energetic self, although he is sleeping more and a little wobbly yet from the major surgery he had last week. He is not showing any indication of pain, and he really just wants "mom" to let him go play.. "Mom" is being overly protective and restricting activity until he sees the vet again for stitch removal.
Thank you to everyone who helped us with his vet bill, and prayed for him. Please continue to pray for Little Bones, and for us for strength as we go through this. Just the thought of loosing him is like a punch right in the chest for me.
Below are screen shots of the type of cancer he has.
The picture of Little Bones was taken last summer.

UPDATE on Little Bones. He is still a little wobbly, but each day getting better. Hes eating well, drinking, peeing and finally last night went p**p, although he lost his balance and sat in it. Poor guy looked at me with a look of sheer embarassment, like he was horrified. This is a dog who refuses to go out in the rain because well, he is just too dainty to get his feet wet. I cant imagine what he was thinking when he sat back in his own p**p. I hugged him and told him it was ok and Mama would wipe his butt. Lol. THANK YOU EVERYONE that helped us, and prayed for Bones. Hes well on his way to recovery!

Bones says...

THANK YOU EVERYONE for your prayers and help. Im chillin on the couch with mom. Shes feeding me chicken, dog food, yougert, and all kids of goodies. I figured out if I refuse to eat out of my bowl, mom will hand feed me each kernal of dog food... hee hee.. I got my mama wrapped around my little paw. Im feeling much better, but still a little wobbly. Mom says that will get better as I build my blood back up. Im so happy Mom didnt give up on me, and I think Mom is too!! Mom said my brother Bashful helped save my life, and I gave him extra kisses today. Im not sure he was diggin my slobbers, but I gave them anyway. Im gonna get some sleep. Love you all. Love Bones.

UPDATE: RAL (Richmond Animal League) is taking Winkin and Blinkin. They have someone coming to pick them up from the vet. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!! Saving Snoots Animal Rescue is mainly a dog rescue and we arw not really equipped to handle kittens in this condition, needing as much care. We have ZERO kitten fosters. We only have ONE dog foster..

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone that shared, and to my friend that paid for todays vet bill, THANK YOU!! SPECIAL THANK YOU TO RAL. RICHMOND ANIMAL LEAGUE. FOR TAKING THESE LITTLE PITIFUL BABIES!!
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE TO THEIR CARE, PLEASE DONATE TO RAL. ❤❤
Im removing our donation info as not to cause confusion.

UPDATE: Both kittens, "Winkin and Blinkin" are staying at the vet for now. Their condition is heartbreaking. The initial bill is covered completely by a private donor that wishes to remain unknown.

Ok friends, we need aome help again.. I picked these 2 up out of the street early this morning. They are tiny, emaciated, sick and one possibly has a ruptured eye. I will be heading to Animal Hospital of Emporia shortly with them. Our rescue is BROKE. PLEASE help us help these babies. I will be looking for another rescue to take them on, and any funds raised above what we need for their bill will be transferred with the babies to that rescue.

SORRY FOR THE ICKY PICS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

Saving Snoots Animal Rescue would like to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to Gleaning for the World and James McLaughlin!!! Today we were invited to purchase dog food at a greatly reduced price. Myself and our foster Lisa took a trip over to pick it up. We not only got literally a TON, of dog food but we were kindly gifted cases of Chlorox bleach, a couple LARGE dog beds, large crate trays, and puppy play pens. We already gave some of the food to 2 different rescues, have a case of bleach heading to Brunswick Animal Shelter, and 2 cases to another rescue, along with one of the puppy play pens. We LOVE to share when we can. Thank you again!!

James told me they have many of the large crate trays that can be given to rescues that need them. All you have to do is ask.

Also a HUGE thank you to Terri Ulrich for dropping off dog beds, food, treats and other goodies, yesterday. We are truly blessed!!

Friends, Family, Followers. I just noticed someone put links in alot of our posts to purchase T-Shirts, mugs, and other rescue related items. THIS WAS NOT US! We have ONE T-shirt lady. She is local to us and she currently is our ONLY source of Snoots items. I have deleted and blocked the page the links came from. Please do not follow any links. If we do a fundraiser it will come directly from us. If we are selling T-shirts and rescue related items the post will come from us and there will be pictures and we will NEVER post links in the comments to purchase items. Thank you, enjoy your day and as always please spay, neuter and microchip your pets.
