Wine to the Rescue

Today is GivingTuesday and Moo requires our assistance. Moo is cared for by Ten Bells Tavern owner Meri, who is renowned for her dedication to felines. Meri provides care for numerous cats, and Moo holds a special place. Moo was discovered as a kitten with her mother and siblings under a truck, and Meri rescued the family, ensuring they received veterinary care. Unfortunately, Moo suffered a gunshot wound, and the bullet or pellet has migrated, causing spinal issues. The veterinarian believes Moo can regain mobility, but the bullet must be removed promptly. The estimated cost of the CT scan and surgery is $6-8K, with WTTR committing $1800. Meri is hosting a fundraising event at the restaurant, but urgent support is necessary. Please consider making a donation, as every contribution counts. Thank you for your love and support. (Estimate for CT attached surgery estimate is coming but they say $3-5K depending on anesthesia).

This girl!! She’s safe in an amazing temporary foster home. This is an update we received:

A few updates on Nellie this AM:
- great night, got up for one potty break and to let me know she could sleep outside the crate on a dog bed and she did so well
- appears potty trained, quick to go once outside
- just licked her bowl clean of meds, wet food and dry food
- she is easy to leash and walk, seems happy to see other dogs and people and fluctuates from a little prance to slower when her back end is sore
- she is wagging her tail and following me around so definitely a happy gal!
- my resident dog Rudy has been giving her space and I have them separate but she is very non reactive to him
- she knows the Sit command.

Nellie is on the road to recovery! She was fully vaccinated, bloodwork look great and HW-. She has a severe allergy to fleas so several hot spots. We are treating her skin issues and her soreness in her back leg. She’s incredibly sweet and will be an amazing addition to any family!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms and Fur Moms!
