Help us provide everything our forever fosters need!
Provide much needed medical care & supplies for some extra special kitties!
We currently have 8 cats in our care who are forever fosters for various reasons. Read about these special kitties below! We hope you'll consider becoming a monthly sponsor so we can ensure they get the best care possible and always have food, litter, and any other supplies they need!
All donations are tax-deductible.
Buca:
Buca was surrendered to us because her previous owners were moving. We knew something was off because her tongue was always sticking out. As cute as this looked, we brought her to the vet to see what the problem could be. After having all her teeth removed, we learned she had stomatitis in her gums, which caused constant inflammation and discomfort. She started on medication to keep her comfortable, since there is no cure for it. After some time, a growth suddenly appeared on the side of her face. It grew rapidly, and she had surgery immediately to drain and clean up the area. Even after surgery and medications, it started growing back, which the vet determined was an infection, so she went on antibiotics, which, fortunately, cleared it up. She is now on two medications per day and can only eat certain types of canned food. She is doing well now, fortunately, but her foster mom has to be very hypervigilante to make sure she doesn't have another flare up. With how well her foster mom knows her and her issues, and how much Buca loves her foster mom (she even sleeps with her at night!), we felt it would be best to keep her with the person who has been so on top of her care, and not risk stressing Buca with another move, which could potentially lead to another flare up.
Buca's primary needs: Monthly medication, vet checks/x-rays, wet food, litter
Lizzie:
Lizzie
has hypothyroidism, which is well-managed now. However, in the last
couple of months, we have noticed her having one health issue after
another, and she struggles to gain weight despite having a healthy
appetite and getting a high-quality diet (she is barely 5 pounds!).
Based on the weight issue and recent bloodwork, our veterinarian
believes it is likely she also has cancer. With that being said, we
decided that she will be staying with us as a forever foster for the remainder
of her life so we can provide her with any and all medical care she
needs. We are still in the process of performing additional diagnostics,
but sadly, cancer does seem likely. Fortunately, she is still a very
happy girl who loves food and her foster family!
Lizzie's primary needs: Medication, vet checks/diagnostics/treatment, wet food, litter
Chloe:
Chloe was on a list to be euthanized a few years ago. We don't know
what she went through, but we can imagine it was traumatic for her,
because despite our fosters' best efforts, this poor girl has continued
to be extremely skittish with people a couple of years later. We all
decided it was best for her to stay with someone she was familiar with
and felt safe with after being in the foster home for awhile, and that
moving her would be detrimental to what progress she has made, so she
became a forever foster.
Chloe's primary needs: Wet food, litter
Silky, Classy, and
Ike:
Silky, Classy, and Ike lost their home when their person passed away suddenly. They were obviously loved, because they are incredibly sweet!
Silky is around 6 years old and has chronic urinary issues/bladder stones. Classy is 14 years old, FIV positive, and needs bloodwork to keep an eye on his kidneys, and Ike is 10 years old, FIV positive, and diabetic. All of these issues are well managed, but they do require extra care, which is why we chose to put them in our Forever Foster program
Silky's primary needs: Prescription urinary wet food, urinary treats, litter
Classy's primary needs: Wet food, litter, vet checks/bloodwork
Ike's primary needs: Insulin, vet checks/glucose curve, wet food, litter
Warren:
Warren came to us in very rough shape. He had a large wound on the top of his head that needed stitches and long-term treatment. He is also FIV positive. He was so scared when he first entered his foster home, so we can only imagine what he has been through. Although he has made some progress with trusting his foster family more and his wound has healed well, he is still somewhat timid and has on and off issues with upper respiratory infections that seem to come out of nowhere. He also has been having issues with his mouth (he just had a dental 8/1) and requires additional medication and supplements. We worry that moving him could negatively affect his progress both behaviorally and medically, so his foster was kind enough to offer her home for him so he wouldn't have to start over.
Warren's primary needs: Wet food, litter, vet checks/antibiotics/supplements
Sydney:
Sydney came to us from a kill shelter. She is skittish with people, but has become comfortable with her foster family. She is around 16 years old.
Sydney's primary needs: Wet food, litter, vet checks/bloodwork
