Vanessa said she was ready to explore the shelter this morning. She sniffed everything! She only hissed at the cats that got too close and up in her business, otherwise she was happy to get to know her new home.

Meet Vanessa. She was adopted from us in 2012.
We just picked her up from PACC an hour ago.
Vanessa has been through some rough times these past 10 months.

She was turned in to PACC last October as a stray with bloody ears and a wound on her neck. Her chip wasn't found at that time. She was treated for bilateral ear infections and placed in a foster home. She continued to have ear infections with pus and blood coming from her ears. She also suffered liquid diarrhea, weight loss and inappetence. Her ears and neck wound continued to be problematic through December despite treatment. Fortunately, her appetite and diarrhea had resolved by then, but she was having issues with constipation and a large abscess by the end of January.
In February it was decided to surgically remove her right ear canal to alleviate the cysts causing her chronic infection. In April they did the same procedure on her left ear. This ended her chronic infections but left her without the ability to hear. Her constipation resolved as well around this time. In March it was determined that a small wound on top of her head was ringworm! This fortunately cleared up with treatment so they could do the second procedure on her left ear. She was on another round of antibiotics post-surgery and hasn't had any major issues since. Thank heavens!
I'm emotionally worn out from reviewing the 9 pages of medical notes to make this post!
For whatever reason, Vanessa stayed in foster homes until today. When she returned to PACC her microchip was found. We got the message that she was at the shelter and would we like to take her back. Of course we did, we will always take our cats back no matter what!
We are grateful to PACC for taking care of her all these months and giving her a chance to live out her life.

Now she needs to find her next home where she can be loved for the rest of her life. Please share her post to help her find that home and thank you for reading to the end of this very long post!

More fun with Bob; he discovered the adding machine but can't figure out how to make it work!

Fun with Bob this morning. He's keeping watch over Sheryl while she gets the bank deposits ready.

Our Story

Pawsitively Cats was founded in July 2010 as a Trap, Neuter and Return resource for the public. In 2012 we were called upon to take in more than 400 cats from another shelter that was shutting down. Many of those cats had health issues making the expense of caring for them even greater; with the support of a handful of dedicated volunteers and a lot of serious fundraising we managed to provide the cats with the best care possible. We took over the rental obligation for the properties those cats were housed at until 2015 when Pawsitively Cats purchased property and renovated that building to house our rescued cats. Our shelter accommodates cats and kittens available for adoption, Feline Leukemia cats, and in a separate building our feral or other non-social cats. Many of our cats are now in their senior years and will likely live out their lives with us. We also support TNR in the community thru education, trap lending and mentoring.

As a 501(c) 3 organization we are solely dependent on donations from the public to pay for every aspect of our operation. Your donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent IRS will allow.
