Does anybody have a borescope or endoscope camera I could borrow? I am on another rescue mission a kitten who just had kittens in the most inconvenient location. I have concerns that she may have a retained kitten inside of her but I cannot take her to the vet unless I remove all of her kittens from the pile of garbage that she had her babies in sadly none of it can be moved by human force and needs to be removed via backhoe which is dangerous for the babies underneath due to the risk of collapse. So moving it is not an option. But if I can find the location that they are I might be able to use tools like the garbage grabber claw to grab the kittens and remove them. I also am running the risk of being bit by a rattlesnake hiding in there too which I'm willing to take the risk of but would rather avoid if possible.

I am also in search of somebody willing to foster mama and her kittens once they are removed from the location and vetted. She is posted online waiting to be claimed by owners because she is entirely too social to be a stray but she just so happened to have kittens in my front yard and in the worst place possible.

She has been scanned for a microchip by our local PD But she did not have a microchip. Animal control wasn't able to help beyond scanning for a microchip.

If willing to donate a few items that would be extremely helpful year-round are:

* Trail cams
* Endoscope or boriscope camera
* Microchip scanner
* Small or medium carriers
* Old towels or blankets
* Pet food dishes
* Laser pointer (this has been so helpful on many occasions with cats)
* Old leashes or collars (for the occasional dog rescue I end up doing)

Hey guys so I'm trying to come up with the funds for a veterinary assisting course through Butte college. I only have until December 8th to come up with the money and they open up the enrollment I think next month. Anybody who knows me knows I'm very well educated in veterinary medicine already. I plan on starting at the very bottom by becoming first a veterinarian assistant. That 6 month course will also get me six credits towards yuba college's veterinary technician program. I've learned so much already and I really want to continue to learn so that my education in veterinary medicine can help benefit all of the animals that I rescue. If you can share or donate I greatly appreciate it. I've been tight on funds myself as I've just started a new job and also faced about $1,000 in vet bills for my own cat. Who is currently perplexing Three vets we have no idea what's wrong with her. Which gives me even more motivation to get involved in veterinary medicine so that I can at least take an educated guess on what might be wrong. 🤷 Everything seems to come back negative with her so the bills are currently stacking higher and higher and my funding for my education is getting further and further away now. But obviously I'm not going to stop paying the vet bills just because I wanted to do something else with the money I saved so this was my backup plan. Any shares or donations are greatly appreciated I am desperate to get involved in veterinary medicine I am 28 and to be honest I feel like time is ticking and if I don't do it now I'll never do it if you want me to be honest. I literally feel old now. 28 seems a little late to start an education in veterinary medicine but circumstances held me back before and I'm not about to let my current circumstances hold me back any longer. I really really want to do this. Not just for me but literally so I can help my community. I've also been thinking if I can become a veterinary technician that actually gives me a little bit more of an ability to help the homeless that have pets as well because I'll have better connections resources and education to be able to help the people and pets that need it most so I've kind of thought on that because of my homelessness previously and I want to be able to volunteer my help specifically for homeless pet owners and our community colonies because I've seen some of them locally and there's a lot of cats in rough shape right now. They need my help which means I need to get on this course it is only 6 months. It starts in January and I'm super excited about it.

So please please please like and share my post donations are greatly appreciated because I'm not going to be able to cover this without help. I'm too far in the hole with vet bills right now to dig myself out and afford my tuition.

Rip Gary eagle. I'll be making contact with the camp to see if there's anyway I can offer assistance with your pets. The world lost a very caring guy today who loved his cat dearly. It saddens me to post this. You will not be forgotten Gary. I remember meeting you when I was bringing in supplies before setting up the neuter clinic at the camp. I'll never forget how much you loved titters. Or how funny I thought her name was. This caught me off guard today. I'm sitting here in shock trying to process this information.

To whom it may concern:
Tonight we got a call for your sweet, young cat. The one you failed. The one you failed first by not getting her any vet care. The one you then failed by letting outside and allowing her to get pregnant. The one you failed yet again by letting wander the streets. She was hit by a car today. Strangers picked her little body up and took her to the emergency vet. More strangers then worked on her and called every rescue in their system asking for help so they wouldn't have to stop working on her. We said "yes." We are strangers to her also. Claudia sat at the emergency vet and authorized $1300 to try and save your cat and her babies. We asked strangers to help and they did. They gave five dollars, ten dollars, fifty. They came up with the money for the cat that you failed. Hours later Claudia stood there alone when the vet said her liver was failing and she was bleeding out. Claudia had to make the decision to euthanize your cat. What you should know about Claudia? She could just sign a paper and leave. Except she wouldn't do that. Instead she went to the comfort room with your cat just as if it were her own. She held her, loved her, stroked her fur as she purred and made biscuits against her. Claudia cried for your cat...the one you failed. The one you don't even know is dead. The one you likely will never give another thought to. We've paid for her cremation and with her all the babies she held inside of her.
Had I saved your cat? People would have begged to adopt her. She was so beautiful. She was sweet. Everyone loves a Siamese. They value them differently. She held no value for you.
Tonight all of these strangers reading this? Well they will also mourn your cat and her babies. The one you failed. Claudia named her Almond.

Leaders with the Northstate Cat Coalition hope the person who carried out the attack can be found and held responsible.
