Sometimes the animals who’ve been through the hardest things are the ones who love the deepest. Here at ICAN we see second chances happen every single day — all it takes is one person willing to believe in a brighter tomorrow!If you’ve been thinking about adopting, this might be your sign.

Teamwork makes Dreamwork!

Thank you to the staff at IVH and to three ICAN volunteers that made this happen so quickly and so smoothly. We appreciate everyone so very much who helped out and made this special Sunday event happen so a few more little ones can find their forever home sooner than later. We appreciate all of you.

Teamwork makes the dream work! 🥰🙌🏼

This Sunday our crew teamed up with Little Mittens and ICAN to help 18 rescue cats — 12 neuters and 6 spays — giving them a solid start as they make their way toward loving homes.

We’re so grateful for this dedicated group and the rescue partners who work tirelessly for our local animals 🐾💙

Volunteer spotlight, Meet Anne and Shizu Futa
Many years of dedication to ICAN cats. Anne started as a volunteer to ICAN and then fostering. She moved into a medical/vaccination role with the local vet tech, Tammy Tutte as Wendy Miller needed a break. Two more amazing volunteers. Anne (with Shizu) came to ICAN every night to give Ingrid a pill for hyper thyroid for 8 months straight. Shizu helps her sister every way she can, she was ICANS treasurer and right hand to her sister Anne, through it all. Winter storms, to writing the final to a grant report Anne and Shizu are monumental and they hate when someone says thank you. Hats off to you ladies and many thanks to Anne and Shuzu- who are present volunteers, fosters and my backbone and support at ICAN. Anne and Shizu you are worth this post and so much more…. Thank you for being you and the support system for ICAN throughout years. Thank you for your dedication and support to the kitties, volunteers and staff at ICAN.

Meet Scooter, our 3-month old kitten diagnosed today with Lordosis.
• Causes: The condition is usually a congenital spinal malformation, often due to genetic factors or abnormal fetal development. It has been reported as more common in certain breeds like Manx and Bengal cats.
• Symptoms: Clinical signs vary depending on the severity and location of the spinal curve. Mild cases may have no symptoms, but severe cases can lead to serious health problems, including:
◦ Pain
◦ Weakness or partial paralysis in the hind legs (paresis)
◦ Difficulty breathing (dyspnea) due to compression of the chest cavity
◦ Difficulty eating (dysphagia)
◦ Failure to grow or gain weight
◦ Neurological deficits
• Diagnosis and Treatment: A veterinarian diagnoses the condition using a physical exam and imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. Treatment for the medical condition depends on the severity. Mild cases may require supportive care, but severe cases may necessitate complex and potentially risky surgical intervention. In very severe, untreatable cases, euthanasia may be considered to end suffering.
