2 weeks into treatment, we took Chloé for a follow-up visit to check on her progress. While the Esophagitis is much better, the Caudal Stomatitis is NOT😿so the vet has opted for a FME (Full Mouth Extraction) to try to get it under control. RELATED: Chloé diagnosed with Caudal Stomatitis and Esophagitis On Wednesday 08/06, […]
We want to give a big THANK YOU ❤ to everyone who donated towards our home fund. Also, a very special thank you to the generous people who donated more than once. But most and foremost, we want to express our deepest gratitude to the anonymous donors who contributed with the staggering amount of €25,000 […]
After an exhaustive checkup, Chloé was diagnosed with Caudal Stomatitis and Esophagitis, the latter being the cause of her choking on food. While both diseases are manageable, the treatment is rather long and complicated, and the Stomatitis could become chronic (like Angel’s) if we cannot get it under control; thankfully it’s been caught early! Chloé […]
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, […]
Lily is a feral cat with CHD (Cerebellar Hypoplasia Disease) who lives on the streets and risks her life every single day to get some food. Paul spotted Lily a few days ago, when he was picking up some meds at the vet’s. She was swaying from side to side, as she was walking down […]
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 […]
We want to thank everyone who contributed to help us reach the goal of our EMERGENCY FUNDRAISER and make this miracle possible in just a few weeks!
Thanks to your generosity we can continue fighting for survival.
It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we share with you the news that Negrita crossed the Rainbow Bridge earlier this afternoon, on September 12th, 2023. Paul was holding her paw 🐾and giving her love ❤ and comfort until the end; we were by her side as she took her final breath. […]
It’s been two months since we started feeding a feral mama cat (Luna) and her two very young kittens (Cheeky and Frankie) whom we found in desperate need of help, somewhere along a secluded jogging path, 10 kms away from the Sanctuary. Cheeky and Frankie keep on growing very fast; they both look healthy and […]
Back in March 2018, we had to rush Oliver to the emergency vet, he was hospitalized with IV fluids; his condiiton was critical. Blood work and urine test revealed high levels of glucose and ketone bodies; he was then diagnosed with Diabetes. Watch Oliver at the vet hospital (March 2018) Three days later, Oliver was […]
As if our already challenging situation was not enough to keep us on our toes, over the last couple of days, we’ve been watching in horror dangerous wildfires that firefighters have not been able to control so far, that are rapidly spreading and getting closer to our area. (see image below) We’re located only 30 […]
A few days after finding Cheeky starving and setting up a feeding station for *her, we could finally see the rest of the family. While Luna (whom we suspect could be their mom) comes and goes and is rarely seen, Cheeky and Frankie have settled in, and we refill their feeding station daily. About a […]
