7/5/23 – Will man’s cruelty ever end??? This sweetheart, Meadowbrooke, was saved when her meowing was heard by a kind stranger. Just 6-7 weeks old, she was found in a bag in a dumpster. I got the call from one of our favorite vet hospitals and was asked if we could cover the medical if two of the staff members, Stephanie and Courtney, took on her fostering and future adoption. Of course, i said yes!! Paws crossed for this sweet baby. – diana
Welcome aboard, Camp Chisholm. Just when I needed a break, this lil guy needed some help. So Stephanie Skrinner and I came to the rescue, because we are suckers like that! Meadowbrooke will be up for adoption after his medical care is completed. If anyone is looking for an extremely sweet and mellow kitten, Meadow is your guy! Thank you to 4Paws1Heart for funding the medical for our sweet little man! – Courtney
7/5/23 – James – He was found in an area that is very unfriendly toward cats let alone sick, dirty cats. His eventual savior, Dawn P., had been contacted repeatedly about the cat and offered to bring some de-worming meds as the person who kept contacting her just mentioned that he had very bad diarrhea and was getting so thin. Unfortunately, although Dawn has rescued many cats/kitten who we’ve helped with when need, didn’t have any fosters, room in her home, or funds to do anything more for the cat. Dawn is already caring for many rescues with pending vet appointments and recently helped her father’s cat who had a blocked urinary track and became septic after the surgery. Then on a Saturday while Dawn was attending a funeral, the lady calls repeatedly begging her to come and get the cat. She said he is very weak and is laying in the street. She also said the neighbors are threatening to shoot and kill this poor cat. Dawn couldn’t ignore the need and went there and picked him up. She brought him home, set up a kennel in her garage and began treatment with Panacur and gave him some healthy food. James started eating the wet food in small portions at a time. He was filthy and had dried diarrhea all over his back side. She’s been trying to wash him with a warm wash cloth and cat shampoo. While cleaning him she saw a large very hard mass near his hip. He is a very sweet cat that is in desperate need of help. Dawn was afraid this poor cat had suffered a long time.
He is very sweet and loves to be petted. He is walking around and exploring. Dawn wrote: “I just didn’t want this poor cat left to die out there slowly or to endure a cruel act by those people.”
James was seen at one of our partner vets last week where he was treated for his diarrhea and examined. Unfortunately, he also needs to have the mass on his hip x rayed and diagnosed and the clinic was unable to do that. He will be seeing another vet for that. Paws crossed that the mass will be something curable and not cancer. – diana
P.S. THANK YOU to our many supporters who helped us reach our “1776 4th of July Match” goal. More dollars in the ‘kitty’ means more help for the fur orphans roaming our streets. And, a very sincere THANK YOU, to our generous Honorary Auntie of the Chance Team for making this happen.
