URGENT KITTEN NEEDS YOUR HELP!
NOV. 18, 11:15 pm UPDATE: Our hearts are crushed as we report that Alex, the kitten we tried to save today, did not make it. At eight weeks old, Alex weighed two pounds and was found outside alone, trying to survive.
-
Cold and sick, Alex was in pain when he moved and was showing neurological symptoms. He could barely stand and was limping. During the short time that he was inside with the finder, his eating declined.
-
At the vet hospital, we authorized labs and x-rays. The vet said the hospital was not able to fully complete all the lab work because they could not get enough blood from Alex, so they were unable to assess his kidneys and liver. His blood pressure was very low and he was not maintaining his body temperature.
-
X-rays showed what the vet believed to be bone fragments in his stomach, and she thought Alex may have eaten a dead mouse that had been poisoned. This poor baby was only trying to survive.
-
The hospital knew the finder had no funds to pay a bill and that we were trying to help this homeless kitten, so the bill was $360. As promised, we paid Alex’s hospital bill. We’re covering expenses for cats and kittens on an ongoing basis. Any contribution in memory of Alex, will help us help another kitty. Donation information is below in this post.

INJURED KITTEN NEEDS YOUR HELP!
UPDATE: We're sending her to the vet and trying to get her in tomorrow (18 Nov). Donations needed. See below. Foster still needed.
-
This kitten is crying in pain! Although standing in the video, the kitten is visibly shaking and reportedly has been dragging his/her back legs. Est. age is eight weeks old. We have not received the kitten's gender, because handling the kitten to check gender causes the kitten pain. The finder is seeking rescue help for the kitten.
-
As of this post, the kitten has no foster, nor funding. The finder is unable to care for the kitten full time, and has a va

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING ZELLE
-
1. For first-time Zelle donations, please notify us of your donation and provide an email address, so we can send a receipt for your donation along with our heartfelt thanks! Zelle does not provide any contact information, so without your contact info, we cannot send you a receipt showing your tax-deductible donation.
-
2. Optionally, with first-time Zelle donations or any time our info is being added to your account, we recommend sending a $1 donation and requesting our confirmation of receipt before sending the rest of the donation. Once we are set up in your bank account and have confirmed back receipt of the $1 donation, that reduces risk of misdirected funds due to a typographical error. If you need to re-enter our info into your account at any time, feel free to send a $1 test again. It's our understanding that if funds go to the wrong party, they cannot be recovered.

APRIL 3 UPDATE: When we first caught him, Jasper didn't know how to play. He's got the hang of it now!
-
While Jasper was confined for recovery from his neuter and facial wound treatment, we learned that he is friendly! Since his initial wound treatment, Jasper has wound up back at the veterinarian's office several times, but he's looking great now!
-
Thanks to everyone that helped us help Jasper with networking and donations, and to the kind community that helped to feed Jasper over the prior six months. Also, we are very grateful to the nice couple that is providing space and care for Jasper to recover inside. (They also provided this video footage.)
-
Jasper's prior posts and updates are below. There was no post for his last trip to the vet.

MAR. 20 UPDATE: VET CARE FUNDS NEEDED. We're planning to send Emerson to the vet tomorrow. We also need to send Sapphire to the vet.
-
UPDATE: EMERSON IS SICK. Due to veterinarian shortages and his caretakers' work schedules and commutes, they haven't been able to get him to a vet.
-
Barstow, CA. SWEET & GENTLE, EMERSON NEEDS A PLACE TO GO!
-
EMERSON. Male, est. 3 years old (*), gray and white. Fixed, vaccinated and microchipped. FIV-positive per SNAP test.
-
It’s clear that this sweet, gentle boy, has had a hard life. WE DON’T WANT HIM TO GO BACK OUTSIDE, so the feeder is holding him indoors temporarily, but they lack space and funding to support another cat.
-
We caught him when trapping feral kitties. Because Emerson turned out to be friendly, the feeder took him inside, but cannot keep him there. He is in a small space which is our ONLY ISO to hold cats overnight after trapping and spay/neuter.
-
The residents have tight limitations on how much they can take on, and desperately need that space back for overnight holds when trapping.
-
To be able to trap and fix cats again at this location, they must first have a place for Emerson, or release him back outside.
-
(*) Estimated age from medical paperwork when he was neutered.
-
PLEASE HELP US find a place for this sweet boy!

4/4/24 Update: Since this post, Jasper went back to the vet a few more times due to his facial wound. He was SNAP tested for FeLV, FIV and Heartworm (all negative) and has been kept indoors since.
-
UPDATE: Jasper turns out to be very friendly! Unfortunately, he had to be put back outside. Seeking rescue for adoptions (or we can consider an adopter if in or near Pasadena, CA.) A vet est. Jasper to be about 18 mos. old. Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped. We can provide SNAP (FIV, FeLV) before transfer. We'll post new video and photos soon.

Pasadena, CA. JASPER HAD SURGERY ON HIS FACE AND HE WAS FIXED ON TUESDAY. They closed the wound on the inside, then glued it on the outside. We set him up in a crate for observation for a few days and so far, things are good! He was very hungry. Thanks to everyone for helping him!

Luna is in foster care with Cat Posse. Please help with a donation to The Cat Posse: https://linktr.ee/TheCatPosse
-
JAN. 9 UPDATE. LUNA WENT TO THE VET. DONATIONS & FOSTER NEEDED.
-
Today, Cat Posse sent Luna to their vet where Luna had xrays and labwork. It turns out that Luna does have a broken tail after all. The vet believes it could be due to an injury such as being hit by a car, or possibly from the tail being caught and yanked free! Luna will need a tail amputation.
-
Her diarrhea is resolving and she has some urinary incontinence, though she is also using the litter box. It’s possible that she has a UTI or other issue, but we do not know yet. In the meantime, she on metronidazole--the medication that was started a few days ago for diarrhea.
-
It is hard for rescues to step up and take in a cat in Luna’s condition with injuries and unknowns. The good people at Cat Posse took a leap today in taking Luna to save her. Today’s bill was over $500 and there will be more bills.
-
This is not the first time Cat Posse has stepped up to rescue cat that could potentially be a difficult case. Day and night, seven days per week, they work HARD for animals. A donation in any amount will help Cat Posse to take care of Luna and continue their work for animals.
-
PLEASE SEND A DONATION TO THE CAT POSSE. Donation links for The Cat Posse are here. https://linktr.ee/TheCatPosse
-
LUNA NEEDS A FOSTER HOME. The foster must be located close enough to the area to transport Luna to Cat Posse's veterinarians if needed. That could be in or near Altadena, Pasadena, and parts of LA areas.
-
We'll post an updated photo of Luna soon. Today was a very busy day for everyone involved.
