Princess & Wobbles Update

We are asking for donations for Princess & Wobbles.

Wobbles has CH and is a year old now. We rescued her last year as a feral kitten and is Princess’s Buddy. We would like to have here spayed by our Vet and need help covering the cost.

Princess has came a long way since last fall when we rescued this beaten cat who was truly knocking on death door. She was a year old feral who had been severly beaten and by far the most critical cat that we have ever rescued. She only weighed 3 1/2 lbs and somehow was still alive with multiple injuries that included broken bones. She still has one of the BB’s lodged in her neck. Up until recently she was only using a grass puppy pad trainer for the bathroom. Last month she started using the litter box. Which she still struggles with due to her not able to use her front legs properly.

Over the last month Princess has been struggling with phantom pains in her partially amputated tail. She was attacking her tail and after weeks living with a cone on and being on pain medication as we tried to let it heal, it has came to the point that it needs to be completely amputated. She will be going to the vet this morning for the procedure and we are asking for donations to help cover the cost.

Sincerely,
Aaron & Donna

We had to say good bye to a community cat yesterday that we helped out last year. His name was Blackie and he was around 4 years old.

His caregiver found him in his shelter severely dehydrated, and unresponsive after being missing for a few days. I took him to our vet. Blackie had liver failure, his kidneys weren’t working right and he was having seizures regularly. To top it off, he had a temperature of 106.9.

His caregiver had tried to convert Blackie and his partner Mr Peach into inside cats after they were neutered last year. But these feisty ferals just didn’t want any thing to do with being inside. So last year we built them a heated shelter that had an eating area with heated bowls during the winter.

Mr Peach seems lost without his buddy. His caregiver will try again to convert Mr Peach to inside life.

It’s so hard to say good bye!

Theo was rescued in April of 2022 when he showed up at my daughter’s house after somehow surviving the winter in rough shape.

Just barely over a year old, skinny, anemic, severely dehydrated, multiple wounds, URI, heart issues, kidney issues, FIV positive, and diagnosed with moderate sarcopenia. He was a mess. With a sub-q fluids and a lot of loving care, Theo got better.

The only problem that really created a challenge was, he was feral and probably abused. He wouldn’t let us touch him after he got healthy. Eventually, he would rub up against us and allow us to pet his head for about 20 seconds before he smacked us with his front claws. Not to mention, he bit me a couple of times. He was a handful.

About a week ago a became very vocal for attention and allowed me to pick him up without retaliation. But soon after that he stopped eating. Unfortunately after getting some test ran. The news that his kidney disease had ran its course and his kidneys were no longer were working. It was heartbreaking news.

He cuddled with me last night for the first time ever! Theo hadn’t been outside since the day he was rescued. But I took him outside and to enjoy some sunshine and feel the grass under his feet before we made the trip back to our vets office. He really perked up while outside and tried his best to meow and then crawl to me. I promised to him that I would get a Cato built for our sanctuary cats to enjoy.

The picture with him in the cage is from the day we rescued him.

I will miss this feisty young man!

Summer Update!

Summer is here and the goats really enjoyed the tall pasture hay before it was cut and baled.

The two kittens that we took in May are doing well and Sansa is already adopted. Arya is healthy, but is blind in her one eye from the scarring. She is acting like a normal kitten and now with a foster enjoying a normal life filled with snuggles!

We found out Princess didn’t enjoy sharing my home office with the kittens. Mostly the sharing of her litter grass pad. Princess is unable to use a normal litter box due to the damage in her front legs from the abuse she received prior to her rescue last year. So she goes to the bathroom on a grass training pad that lays over a puppy p*e bad. The kittens wouldn’t let her go to the bathroom in peace and she wound up with a urinary infection. The funny thing is she would go and p*e on the kittens bed.

We also took in five neonate rats for almost a week. Luckily a Wildlife rehab was able to take them in. This was a new experience.

We are slowly but surely getting our older kittens spayed & neutered so we can find forever homes for them. Funding and available appointments is slowing us down.

Oliver, one of our senior FIV cats was treated for some dental issues and a urinary infection back about a month ago. Thankfully, we have Fresh Step Health Monitor Crystal Litter that we use for our older FIV group. It brought the urinary infection to our attention.

Finally, we believe we have a place for our non-social barn cats that we will announce later this summer.

We wish everyone a safe summer.

Meet Arya!

This little girl came in as a hot mess a few weeks ago! She is feeling much better now and trying to act like a normal kitten.

But unfortunately she is completely blind in one eye and currently partially blind in the other eye.

At this point, the ulcer in her one eye hasn’t ruptured and needing to be removed. But it has damaged the eye to the point she will be blind in that eye.

The second eye also has an ulcer, but it’s not as bad and will heal with just some vision loss.

The ulcers were caused by her being sick and her eyes being infected and stuck shut for too long before she came into our care.

Her feral mother has already been spayed, vaccinated and returned back to her colony and where there is a caregiver that feeds them.

Arya will fortunately have a much better life than her feral mom and was caught at the right age before she became feral and unable to be a pet like her mother.

Donations are needed to help cover this little girls vet bills.
