Our organization does not believe in shocking graphic images of animals. You wouldn't want to be photographed like that! These guys are fully recovered and very happy!
Squeaker is a beautiful orange tabby female. She came in with a back leg that was just a bone that looked like something on a mummy. Squeaker was injured and not treated for months. There was no choice but to amputate her leg. She was living in a feral cat colony. Luckily, her caretaker brought her to us. We amputated her leg and she got adopted! She's a little shy, but she is a sweet baby and did not deserve living wild with such a severe injury.
Forrest Gimp is a very handsome black and white tux kitty. He is feral (wild). He was found in a subdivision with half of his front leg ripped off. We tried to save his leg, but unfortunately his injuries left little skin to repair the leg. We did an amputation and he is living happily in a sanctuary now.
We've removed eyes, recovered sick cats, and placed blind and handicapped cats into sanctuary.
Many feral cats come in injured from their days on the streets. We try to patch up the "party dents." We clean wounds, give antibiotics, remove matted hair (in warm weather), clean ears and treat for fleas at no charge to customers. Convenia is a long lasting antibiotic that costs over $200 a bottle, but we keep it on hand for these guys since oral medication is not usually an option. Most caretakers cannot afford any more than what they are already doing. Good citizens in your community are trapping/neutering/returning cats out of their own pocket to keep these offspring kittens out of your local shelters. One woman came in recently and spent $1,050 to try and help her neighborhood. If you are interested in donating to these poor kitties, visit the Support Spay/Houston link. Select Animal in Need and enter STRAY CAT under the animal name.
