I am working in conjunction with the great people at Calvin's Paws to hold a fund raiser. This fundraiser will benefit animals like Bob (pictured on the right) who came from a local military vet who found him with his tail injured. The vet tested him for FIV and Feline Leukemia and Bob came back positive for FIV. Most vets do not understand FIV and want to euthanize the cat but not this one. He did not want to do this and did the surgery on Bob to amputate his tail and called Calvin's Paws. They said they would take him into their program and profusely thanked him for saving Bob's life. Bob is now a happy healthy boy waiting for his forever home.
On the left we have Mary Russell. She was found at a church by a good Samaritan covered in so many fleas she was anemic. She was given a couple of baths to get rid of all the fleas, lots of good food with liver (to help with the anemia) and all of her medical treatment. Her fosters were really afraid she wasn't going to make it but kept the faith and worked very hard with her and as you can tell by the picture she is very spoiled. She doesn't have a voice, however, and whispers which her adoptive mom (which just happens to be the foster home also) loves very much.
Here on the right is Meerkat. He was found with his brother, Manor. When these precious boys first came to their foster home they sat up like little meerkats which is where they got their names. Manor left his foster home to find his forever home. However, Meerkat's foster mom could not let his special little boy go so she adopted him! He was very sick as a kitten often running a temperature of over 103 which is definitely high for a cat whose normal temperature is 102. She would often stay home from work with him because she couldn't bear to leave him home alone so sick when all he wanted was to be held because he didn't feel good.
Yes, he is definitely a spoiled little boy who is able to get into cabinets and retrieve his own treats now. He is definitely mischievous but just look at that cute little face..how can you resist.
Animal rescue is thankless, tireless and ultimately rewarding when these precious furkids find their forever homes. I have had the pleasure of working with some of the most giving people I have ever met who have the biggest hearts in the world. Their pockets are always empty, their homes are never clean (to most people's standards) but their hearts are always full of love with these animals.
Whether they are fostering cats, dogs or both there is never a dull moment and always something to do but when you see them in a great home with a great family who spoils them more than you could ever imagine it is worth it.
