Sadly, we came back from the vet clinic with very bad news. A heart murmur was detected which the vet said could be due to various underlying conditions. Since Gigi is in her senior years and has lost a lot of weight, the vet thought at first it was due to heart disease however after […]
Bloodwork results have confirmed what we suspected; his blood creatinine levels are slightly elevated (1.7) which indicates he is now at the first stage of kidney disease. The use of strong medications to treat his Caudal Stomatitis, for almost five years now, have damaged his kidneys. The fact that he’s already in his senior years […]
Lily is a feral cat with CHD (Cerebellar Hypoplasia Disease) who risks her life every single day trying to get to her feeding station 😿 As we explained in our previous post about Lily, seeing her struggle to get to some food and water broke our hearts. We couldn’t just do nothing about it so […]
After taking dental X-rays, Vito was diagnosed with a condition called Tooth Resorption. Dental surgery went well but it was a long and rather complex procedure because most of the teeth to be pulled were fractured. After 6+ hours in the OR, 7 teeth were pulled and fractured root fragments were succesfully removed. Last night, […]
Our worst fear came true! Only 48 hrs after taking Vito to the emergency vet, the Calicivirus has quickly spread and now we have a cat room full of sick kitties Kitty, Suzie and Mimi are the ones with cat flu symptoms. Cheeky and Frankie do not have symptoms and the vet suspects they might […]
UPDATE Nov. 5, 2024 We are taking Blackberry Melody (10) to the vets. She’s been feeling a bit under the weather lately, and over the last few weeks she’s had a severe and persistent cough. She’s eating, drinking water and using the litterbox as usual, so we are hopeful it’s nothing major but early diagnosis […]
It’s with a heavy heart that we write this post to inform you that TJ crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday afternoon 07/25/2024. He was diagnosed with Acute Kidney Injury after the abdominal ultrasound showed the presence of renal infarcts in both kidneys and bile duct obstruction. Blood was found in his urine test and he […]
It is with great sorrow that we inform you that yesterday afternoon, July 02, 2024, we lost our sweet Oliver to Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). On Sunday, Oliver stopped eating and drinking and became lethargic. During the night he started running a high fever and showed clear signs of discomfort and pain. His body was no […]
After a couple of months figuring out how to re-arrange our small place to make more room for all the resident cats at the sanctuary, thanks to Paul’s hard work, last weekend, we could finally make it happen! Rescues Gigi, Chloé and Angel moved to their new catroom in the attic storey. Thankfully, the transition […]
As you all know, we’ve been feeding these two feral kittens since they were about 6 weeks old. As months went by, we realized they were both female and the clock started ticking real fast! Technically, cats can get pregnant up to five times a year and although so far we haven’t seen any adult […]
