Laney
12/2021 Allie is a leukemia positive cat who came to us from a
shelter that was running out of time to place her. A rescue was
working with them trying to save her but they also did not have
a place for her to go. They have an adoption program
but finding a home for leukemia positive cats is not easy.
So she and her sister Laney are another quid-pro-quo situation.
We trapped a feral mom and 2 kittens from under our neighbors
trailer. (They are snow birds, we saw them out playing.)
Out motto is No homeless babies being born on our watch and on
our property so the trap immediately went up. They are all negative
for leukemia and FIV. We were able to tame the babies, got everyone
fixed and then asked, now what. We contacted one of the local
rescues we have worked with before and they were full. (So are
we, so I get it) We are a sanctuary, we have no adoption opportunites
for them.
The rescue that was trying to save Allie & Laney contacted us about
us taking them, we said we are full BUT we have 2 negatives that
need a place to get into an adoption trac, we would be open to an
Quid Pro Quo trade. They take mine, I take theirs. I hate doing that
(the trade thing, they are living beings) But this way 2 will move on
to homes, and 2 get saved. It was in the best interest of all 4. They
had a wonderful volunteer drive 6 ½ hours each way to bring them to
us and pick up our 2. We are trying to tame feral mom.
They are super sweet playful little girls! You can watch them Live
on our cat cameras. They are in room 4. HERE
Sadly we lost Allie to leukemia in March.

2/20/23 RIP Laney
Laney was a FELV+ kitty who came to us as a playful baby with
her sister Allie. We lost Allie very soon after they arrived to FIP.
Laney has struggled with her health for the last year, she has been
hospitalized a few times. Last month she had an ultrasound
because she was losing weight. The ultrasound showed she had 7
masses in her kidneys. She was still eating and playing, she said
she was not ready to go yet. We knew it was coming and when
she was ready we would let her go. When I pet her this yesterday
I could feel how large on of the masses was.
It was huge. I knew we were now down to days at best. Last night
she was ready. She began having problems walking and crying.
I immediately took to the vet to let her go over the rainbow bridge.
She went purring in my arms to join her sister.
She was such a playful little girl who would always chirp at you
when you walked into her room and loved to be pet. Her room
sounded so quiet this morning without her. We were so blessed
to have been able to give her a year of love and life. We will never
forget her.
