ARUBA

5/15/23 – On May 4 I received the following e mail:

“I have a beautiful feral female cat, Aruba, that went in for TNR this week but it was noted that she has a severe ear infection and severe dental disease. Her colony caretaker is expecting her back soon but I don’t feel that I can release her in this condition. I wanted to at least reach out and see if anything can be done for her. She is 6 years old, has been having litters of kittens her entire life. I was so happy for her to be spayed so she can retire from taking care of so many babies and finally be her own cat. She has a very kind man feeding her, good shelter and has a sister cat she mainly hangs out with. Her kittens were about 8 weeks old so they ended up being placed with a rescue. Aruba won’t allow being touched or picked up so I came out to TNR her & her sister. If there anything you can do I would be so grateful, my heart is breaking for this cat. I mainly fund my own TNR so I can’t afford any additional care for her like dental surgery but I want to help her if there’s hope. – Lisa Marie”

On May 10, Aruba was taken to one of our great partners, Patterson Veterinary Hospital, where, as Lisa Marie said, “Aruba received amazing care”. All of her teeth had to be extracted and she was treated for parasites. She was provided with meds as well as an injection for diarrhea and is reported to be doing great. She is staying with Lisa Marie until she can return to her caretaker. Here’s her photos from pre and post surgery. – diana
