Shannon Purcell-Underwood hasn't added a story.
Akita is 14 years old and is a fellow animal lover. She just finished
spending 5 months in Children's Hospital in Vancouver, with Leukemia.
Her mom, Cynthia, slept on a bed in Akita's hospital room for the
entire 5 months. Now that Akita is recovering, she has finally been
allowed to come home, although her immune system is still very low.
Akita's family moved to their current property a couple of years
ago and inherited a bunch of unfixed barn/semi-feral cats with the
house. Last year, "Bengali" had a litter of kittens and
dumped them at Akita's back door. Akita tried to bottle feed the two
kittens that survived, but to no avail. Unfortunately they passed away.
When Akita noticed that "Bengali" was pregnant again,
she managed to catch her. Akita left a bowl of food at the back door
with the back door open. "Bengali" eventually came into the
house to eat the food. At that time, Akita closed the door. After
that, it was quite an adventure for "Bengali" as she ran
around the house, while Akita tried to herd her into the spare room.
Needless to say, Akita eventually succeeded.
"Bengali" had her 6 kittens on June 11 and Akita is
doing a wonderful job taking care of them. Akita and her family don't
have the money to take care of these kittens properly so we have set
up a Fundraiser for them. Raising foster kittens is truly a community
effort, so any help would be much appreciated.
