A Christmas Story with a Happy New Year
On Christmas Adam (Adam came before Eve), we received a message about a stray kitten with a swollen paw. We set out and dropped off a trap and some food, then waited.
On New Year's Eve night we got word that she was caught! (with a friend, so bonus for us) First thing on New Year's Day we picked her up and placed her in her own room. We were able to get an urgent care appointment the very next day and straight into emergency surgery to remove her whole arm...... It was really, really bad. From a distance it simply looked like she had a large gash on her leg but closer you could see fractured, crushed bones sticking out and her leg was just hanging by some skin. I can only imagine she was run over by a car and very lucky only her leg was caught.
We got her home after surgery and she was obviously in pain and very drowsy, but accepted a little loving from us immediately. We are happy to add her to our menagerie of special needs babies, but could definitely use help with her medical bills.
Highlights
See all activity3Special Needs Rescue
My husband and I have been in animal rescue (personally) for over 25 years. We don't typically ask for help, but are always happy to accept a small donation of food, toys or cash. "Thank you" goes a long way.
We have rescued and placed an estimated 700+ cats and kittens and 200+ dogs and puppies, plus a few dozen wildlife rescue and returns.
We are a special needs sanctuary. Animals who are placed and returned and home for good. We are happy to have blind, deaf, amputees, and more.
