Loving Cat Gets Lifesaving Dental Care

When our friends at Porch Kitty Manor shared the story about Precious, a loving cat in need of dental care, we knew exactly how to help! From PKM, “This is Precious. Her human contacted me in tears because she was drooling, not eating & losing weight. Pets for Life gave her a wellness exam & updated her vaccines. Thanks to PKM donations, I was able to set her up with canned food so she could eat without pain & drooling. Today we went to The Bridge Clinic for a dental & bloodwork. She’s on antibiotics & soft food until we can schedule a dental extraction.”

Update: “She had her dental yesterday The Bridge Clinic. Because of her age & weight loss, we had bloodwork drawn prior to surgery. As a result the doctor placed a catheter & ran fluids during surgery. This added an extra $100 to the original $935 estimate. However, thanks to your donations and a generous gift from Philadoptables her bill was paid in full! Her thyroid issue that will be followed up on in 4 weeks, but so far she is doing well.“

Feel better soon, Precious!

Sweet Stray Cat Rescued By PURR in Need of Critical Care

When the sweetest street kitty, later named Cara, arrived at her foster home, she was in dire need of lifesaving care. After being rescued by our friends at Philadelphia’s Urgent Rescue & Relief, Inc. PURR, Cara became lethargic, was very sick, and experiencing dental problems.

After Cara’s emergency veterinary visit, it was determined she would need extensive dental surgery to remove infected teeth to give her the happiest and healthiest life possible. Cara’s medical bills are climbing into the thousands, and we were pleased to donate towards her medical care.

Cara isn’t out of the woods yet but is slowly on her way to recovery and getting a second chance at a pain-free life. For updates, visit PURR’s website here.

Sweet Mother Cat Gets Second Chance At Life

Maria is a young adult cat who recently ended up at ACCT as a stray. Maria came in with four older kittens presumed to be her babies but they were old enough to be weaned for their fur-ever homes. We were hopeful for her journey at a second chance and offered to sponsor part of her medical care for anyone interested in rescuing her.

Our friends at Out of the Woods rescue came to Maria’s rescue and welcomed her into their care! Maria is the sweetest girl who loves head scratches and is looking for a loving home where she can relax and be loved.

Momma Cat and Kittens Saved by PAWS

Thanks for saving Queen Lateefers, Flossy Flossy, and Grillz, PAWS!

An update from PAWS “When this sweet young cat (Queen Lateefers) arrived at the city shelter, it was clear she needed help. Surrendered with three newborn kittens (Flossy Flossy and Grillz) whose health was failing, Queen also had a hole in the roof of her mouth due to a cleft palate, which could cause food to travel into her nasal cavity or lungs if left uncorrected.

After being scooped up by PAWS, this sweet three-year-old has been in a loving foster home for the last month while her kittens nursed and weaned. Now that her kittens are old enough, we can determine if her cleft palate can be repaired! She has a consult with a veterinarian at VSEC on July 5th and we’re optimistic that we’ll be able to move forward with surgery.

This generous funding from Philadoptables will be an incredible help in offsetting the cost of this extensive procedure.”
