Meet Ella
Ella is a blind kitty who came to us from our local animal control facility. They are a high kill facility and she only had hours left before she was to be euthanized. Let me tell you about her.  When she arrived she was a tiny thing weighing on 4.6 pounds!  You could feel all of her bones! She was immediately taken to the vet.  X-rays showed this poor baby has 3 broken vertebra processes in her back.  She also has mega colon.  She has not been fixed and we are guessing has had no vetting.  Animal control said she was an owner surrender. She is doing better,  gaining weight, being spayed in 2 weeks.  She is not fond of other cats but is adjusting.
She has now moved into her room.  You may watch her 24/7 on our MeShare Pet Came   HERE

Sadly we lost Midnight to leukemia.  We wish we had more time with him.
We also said goodbye to Boots.  We were blessed to have 5 years with him.
Took Stevie to Raleigh,  more blood work, x-rays, ultra scan and a biopsy  ($2503 total bill) We are waiting for tests to come back.
Meadow decided she is feeling fine and pulled out her feeding tube.  They do that some times :)  She is regaining the weight she has lost.
We know when we say Yes to saving the life of a leukemia positive cat we will eventually have our heart broken again when leukemia wins.   But it is worth it because we know we were able to save a life and give them loving care for the time we have
Sheila is starting to show the signs that the leukemia is starting to take effect.  She is losing weight although she is eating.  With her heart defect she got dealt a bad hand.
It is National Poison Prevention Week
Thank you to everyone that bought a shirt!  You helped raise over $2,000!
FIRE IN THE SHELTER!
What a horrifying thought!
There are so many stories in the news about animals dying in shelter fires because they did not have a sprinkler system. Last week 67 dogs died in at a shelter fire in SC. Fire causes major damage to the Knox-Whitley Animal Shelter. Several animals died in the fire, many are still  missing. More Than 50 Animals Killed in Animal Shelter Fire I do not want that to happen to us!  When we built our shelter years ago we were on a tight budget and you never think it will happen to you.   After seeing many shelter fires in the last year I started checking on retro fitting our shelter buildings. I discovered the cost was not as bad as I thought. The company is giving us a discount on the price. Will you help us make this possible?  Will you go to our donation page now and donate?   
Click to enlarge, you will see the broken pieces in her back
We don’t know what kind of horrors she endured but I think the x-ray and starvation gives us a good clue.   We are so blessed that because of Your Support we were able to save her life!
A cute video of her playing
