Syrio – His Breeder Wanted to Euthanize Him Because of a Cleft Palate

Posted on by

10/29/19 – syrio syrio-10:29:19 syrio -- syrio== syrio=== syrio----Dear Supporters, Syrio needs YOU. At just days old, Syrio was brought into a local veterinary clinic by his breeder. He was to be euthanized because he had a cleft palate and was no good to the breeder. Instead the staff had the breeder surrender Syrio to them and the licensed vet tech (LVT) called another one of her colleagues to see if she could take in this little guy. Amber, an LVT, with another partner veterinary clinic, took Syrio in. He could not eat on his own and she tube fed him for 6 weeks until he could eat on his own. It is now almost 5 months later and Syrio, at 4.5 lbs, is now in need of surgery. The surgery will cost between $2,000 and $2,500 and both doctors who have examined Syrio believe strongly that he needs the surgery. And this is why he NEEDS YOU.

My cousin and former Board member has offered to MATCH all donations in Syrio’s honor up to $1,000. Unfortunately, we have taken on many expensive commitments including another broken leg and heart worm, so if we are going to be able to help, it will have to be through this MATCH. Please, if you can, donate today. We will schedule Syrio to see the specialist as soon as we’ve raised enough money. Thank YOU in advance. – Diana

Tobe – Running the Streets with Heart Worm

Posted on by

10/24/19 – Prayers for Tobe. He was found running the streets. The rescuers brought him to a vet to check for a microchip but there was none; they then posted and tried to find his owner, but without success. The rescuers contacted us and we arranged for him to be seen by one of our partner vets. Unfortunately, Tobe was found to be heart worm positive. So often, we believe that dogs are dumped when owners find out their pet has heart worm. Although, if a dog has been running the streets for a long time, they may contract heart worm while on the streets. Nonetheless, Tobe is a very sweet dog and the rescuers are committed to him. On Tobe’s vet visit he was given antibiotics to address a congestion issue. So, in reality he has already started the beginning of his heart worm treatment. We have committed to Tobe’s full treatment and recovery. This is another one of those cases that are expensive but we’re not going to turn our back. Thank you for anything you can do to support the abandoned, stray, and abused. ~ diana

Sparky, Natasha, and Boris – Dumped in a Petsmart Parking Lot

Posted on by

10/23/19 – In early October, 7 cats were dumped in a Petsmart parking lot. One organization took 4 and our friend, Lori, took in 3 — Sparky, Natasha, and Boris. 4 Paws 1 covered all of their medical including spay/neuter, testing, vaccinations, flea/parasite treatment. Sparky has since been adopted but Boris and Natasha are still looking. If interested, contact Lori at: [email protected]
Please keep in mind that every ‘healthy’ cat we help costs a minimum of $150 to ensure they continue to be healthy and do not contribute to the over population of cats. Although we had a successful fundraiser last weekend, that money went out faster than it came in. If you can, please consider donating today so that we can continue to make a difference. Thank YOU ~ diana

Baby Ryan – Fighting for His Life

Posted on by

10/22/19 – Please pray for Baby Ryan who has been diagnosed with Panleukopenia which is feline distemper or parvovirus. Although the virus carries a high mortality rate, Ryan’s rescuer is trying to save him and we are helping with his medical bill. He has been in the hospital and he appears to be turning the corner. There is no cure; only hope that his own immune system will kick in to fight off this deadly disease. ~ diana

Magnolia – Has Orthopedic Surgery for Her Broken Arm

Posted on by

10/18/19 – Magnolia Update — Magnolia had her surgery today. It took a little longer because her bones are so soft. She has some extra splinting to protect her bones. The doctor also found a couple of other fresh fractures. She is now home with her very knowledgeable licensed vet tech foster mom and is comfortably resting. If you have a little extra money, we would very much appreciate your help The doctor told me that it was a good decision not to amputate her leg and to follow up with surgery. Thanks, Diana

Magnolia – Her Jaw and Arm Were Broken

Posted on by

10/17/19 UPDATE: I look at that face and can’t find it in my heart to have her arm amputated. Consequently, even though we could definitely use donations, I have authorized orthopedic surgery tomorrow. Patterson Veterinary Hospital will also help by having a donation jar in the office and by covering the work on her jaw. ~ diana

10/17/19 – Please say a prayer for this very sweet girl who was dropped off at Patterson Veterinary Hospital, one of our partner vets. I was contacted yesterday to see if we would help with some of her medical. Magnolia is about 10 weeks old and it appears she was hit by a car. Her jaw and elbow is broken. One of our favorite doctors will take care of her jaw but she suggested that Magnolia see a specialist if we want to try and save her leg. We know that kittens are very adaptable but we would like to give her a chance if at all possible. Of course, orthopedic surgery is not cheap. So we will see what the specialist says. Fortunately, one of the licensed veterinary technicians took Magnolia home with her last night and she will take care of her and eventually find her a good home. May God bless all of the doctors, vet techs, and good samaritans who don’t turn their backs on animals in need. If you can, please consider making a donation to help Magnolia with her medical treatment. ~ Thanks, diana
