12/14/18 – RIP Sweet Marshmallow. Heroes of animal advocacy spent days looking for this very sick and injured cat. The 14 year old caretaker of the cat colony from which he came was devastated when he showed up in this condition. After several days of searching through vacant homes and neighborhoods, he was finally captured and we authorized him to be taken to the emergency vet. Although he appeared to be at death’s door, for awhile it looked like he might make it. But then the blood work came back. The red blood cell and platelet count was closer to that of a deceased animal. He had feline leukemia and, if he survived, he would need surgery for his broken jaw. But that surgery couldn’t happen for weeks, if at all, because of his blood results. So amongst the tears of his hero, Kimberly Wiley, a very caring veterinarian, Dr. Stomack, and mine, it was decided to release Marshmallow from his suffering and to let him peacefully cross the rainbow bridge. – diana

12/14/18 – Please send some positive energy and prayers to Shania who will be going through oral surgery today. When she was rescued from a cat community with a severe eye infection, we paid for her eye removal. During that process, we learned that she would also need dental surgery to remove infected teeth. Today she is having that done. The doctor will be calling to let us know exactly what will need to be done once she is under anesthetics. ~ diana
