Tonight is Ladybug’s last night in her foster home and look at the transformation from just over two weeks ago! This sweet senior has gained weight and her hair is growing back. She is sweet and loving, but she has a distinct feisty side!Ladybug will be the beloved companion of a couple in their late seventies and they already adore her. She is still thin, but she loves her food and she is eating well. We are confident that her new people will be able to help her continue to flourish. Here’s to another senior cat rescue success story!

Ladybug continues to improve. She had quite an ordeal for a senior cat. She is very thin and I think she may have dental pain that makes it hard for her to eat. She is eating push-up treats and she licks the gravy from Fancy Feast. She is very sweet inspite of her discomfort. She moved up to the big master bath where she has room to walk around and a window to look out. She’s much happier there. She actively seeks affection whenever we go in to see her. She is a special girl. Vet visit moved to Thursday. We’ll know more then.

Day 2: Ladybug had a bath. Fancy Feast Florentino is her favorite food so far.

Here is ladybug shortly after she arrived at her foster home. She is very thin and she lost a lot of hair due to flea allergies and probably stress. She’s a very sweet and gentle cat. She likes Ti be held and pet. I’m going to let her relax tonight, but this girl is definitely in need of a bath!

Misu came to the shelter as a surrender because one of her owners was allergic. She was found as a stray “feral” cat, but she was friendly with the owners and has been friendly with all staff since her arrival. She was a strictly indoors with her family, and has no medical or behavior concerns, though she has shown to not enjoy the presence of children. She loves to be pet and solicits attention, and has previously lived with large dogs.

Misu is about 8 years old, FIV/FELV negative, spayed and on the HEFTY side weighing 18.6 pounds. We are monitoring her appetite as she is at increased risk for hepatic lipidosis if she stops eating due to the stress of the shelter.

Misu is available for Adoption or Rescue

*STILL IN NEED*

UPDATE: Poncho had a glucose curve done this week. His insulin dose was adjusted based on the findings from the curve and he is being monitored closely for signs of hypoglycemia (ataxia, dysphoria, lethargy, anorexia, etc).

He has been started on a puzzle feeder because he scarfs his food and was causing some episodes of vomiting. But he loves the puzzle feeder and has not vomited since starting with it.

Willow is still in need of a rescue commitment!

Her biopsies came back as non-cancerous, just very angry mouth issues (lymphocytic-plasmatic gingivitis/stomatitis). She will likely require full mouth extractions and is already on antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. She is eating wet food well.

Willow was brought to the shelter from animal control after a citizen reported to have found a sick cat. She is about 8 years old, previously ear-tipped, and weighs about 8 pounds. She was very flighty at intake and did not allow handling but overall had an unthrifty appearance to her. Willow was observed in her kennel with her tongue hanging out and hypersalivating but she had eaten all of the wet food that she had been given. A further assessment of her mouth was done while she was awake and she was found to have severe ulcerations in her mouth and a possible mass. She was then sedated for additional diagnostics. She has stage 4 dental disease, focally extensive masses on gingiva on lingual aspect of mandibular teeth bilaterally and at glossopalatine fossa. Bloodwork was completed and sent to IDEXX for complete analysis and available upon request, and an FIV/FELV test was run revealing she is FIV positive. A punch biopsy was collected of the oral masses and results of that are still pending.

Willow does allow some handling, but does try to flee. She appears more comfortable and is still eating wet food. If you are interested in helping Willow, please let us know ASAP!

If you are able to help Willow, please let us know ASAP!

Meet Hawkins!

He is an 8 year old, neutered cat in need of rescue! When he first arrived, he did not allow any handling. This has improved since his stay has lengthened. His tail moves but had no sensation and was noted to be knuckling on his hind paws. During a sedated exam, it was found he has decreased serosal detail in his abdomen. There are no obvious fractures in his hind limbs, pelvis or spine. Bloodwork shows anemia, mild hyperglycemia and Azotemia (pre-renal due to dehydration, history of down in rear). Hawkins was also noted to have stage 3/4 periodontal disease and corneal edema. It is suspected he doesn’t have full vision but sees shadows. Hawkins is eating, drinking, urinating and defecating well. Yesterday it was noted he is showing signs of improvement with placing his limbs more appropriately when forced to stand, and he is sitting sternal more frequently. It was also noted he swatted at a bell ball when attempting to play.

If you are able to help Hawkins, please let us know ASAP.

Edna arrived at the shelter yesterday as a stray. She had an unthrifty appearance to her, and was non-weight bearing on her left hid leg. She received an initial assessment and she purred through her entire exam. She was severely dehydrated, matted, and multiple wounds along her trunk and nose were noted. She was sedated to get clear x-rays and to help provide some comfort from her matting as well. X-rays revealed a fractured right fibula and a fractured left tibia and fibula. Her left leg has been splinted for support, but she would benefit from a orthopedic consult to determine if amputation or repair is a better approach. Bloodwork was also run and revealed she is hyperthyroid, so she has been started on appropriate medications as well.

This precious lady would love a place to call her own and show her people how adorable she is! She is 11+ years old, weighs 4.6 pounds and very loving!

If you can help Edna, please let us know ASAP! She will have a $5 deposit.

Hawkins arrived late last week as a stray from a concerned citizen. He was reportedly “down in the rear” but he ran away from the animal control officer trying to help him. When he arrived at the shelter he was noted to be knuckling on his hind legs, but his tail moved and had sensation. X-rays showed no fractures but he is underweight. Bloodwork and x-rays are available upon request. His vision is questionable. He had some discharge collecting around his eyes that was flushed and eye medications started, but he is often found lounging around his kennel will little movement. He won’t eat unless his food is placed in front of him. He has been treated like quite the king during his stay. He loves to be carried around cradled in someone’s arms while he just purrs away and enjoys a good spa treatment as staff brushes his coat.

If you are interested in helping Hawkins, please let us know ASAP.

This little one came in today with a multitude of issues. She seems to be a recent TNVR due to the yellow powder found on the scab of her eat tip. She is currently in the incubator trying to get her temperature up because it has been too low to read.



She has an open fracture of her L tibia/fibula and the R femur has been completely dislocated. She is on pain medication and antibiotics. She also has a large size “mass” in her pelvic area. We are estimating it to be between the size of a golf ball and tennis ball with a hole in it (picture attached). We are unsure if it is caused from an abscess or trauma.

She must be picked up by 5pm! We will not be transferring her to an emergency clinic as her prognosis is poor. She will be required to be transferred to a clinic immediately upon release.

She is spayed so there is no deposit. We WILL NOT hold her past 5pm due to her pain and the amount of medical care she will need.

This little Girl about, 1 year old, was found as a stray when a citizen found her down in the rear in their back yard.
When she arrived, x-rays were taken and a fracture along the right of her pelvis was noted. Her tail was also determined to be completely dislocated.

She is minimally ambulatory on her hind legs and has no deep pain present in her tail. A tail amputation needs to be performed soon to ease her pain and also to prevent further issues. She is urinating and defecating normally aside from her tail being in the way.
Little Girl is very sweet. If you can help her out, please let us know ASAP.
