4/21/22 – We were contacted by a rescue group in the Grayling, Michigan area about a sweet cat who had been kept in a cage for two months, never to be let out. They were able to get the cat surrendered but shortly after, Jackson started having bouts of diarrhea, projectile vomiting, and appeared to be in pain from a possible dental issue. We authorized Jackson’s medical visit where he had x-rays and blood work. It was determined that he was severely impacted and he had an infected baby tooth which was also causing a great deal of pain. Jackson was given enemas clearing the impacted bowels and was given medication for his infected tooth. Jackson will also need to be on a special diet. His foster family fell in love with him and decided to adopt him. Here is a note they sent to me:
“My husband and I wanted to reach out and thank you SO much for helping with Jackson’s vet bill the other day. When we fostered him we had no intentions of keeping him but this lovable little guy made his way into our hearts. He is feeling a lot better and we are watching him very closely. Everything you do to help all of these kitties is amazing and we just wanted to share our appreciation. If I can ever help with anything please let me know. We definitely owe you a favor or two. Have a wonderful day! – Amber”
Thank you to our many donors who make it possible for us to meet the needs of the many orphan animals in our communities. Since our beginning we have paid $1.3 million in medical treatment and 100% of every dollar we raise is spent on the rehabilitation of animals found on the streets or in abusive situations. – diana.
