🐾Update on Shadow:

Shadow has finally been discharged from the vet clinic after receiving ongoing fluids and medications, and being catheterized for most of his emergency 12 day stay. Shadow is a very unique cat whose issue has never been seen before by our veterinarians. As shown on the X-Rays, Shadow’s bladder is so large that it takes up most of his organ space and surgery wasn’t an option to fix this. If Shadow’s bladder over fills it could be fatal. At the end of his emergency stay, our vet monitored how long it would take Shadow to p*e on his own. It took Shadow a full 2.5 days to p*e on his own! While this isn’t normal, this is considered normal for Shadow considering his large bladder capacity. Since being released, he has been able to p*e more frequently all on his own and is being monitored to ensure he doesn’t show signs of distress from his bladder potentially over filling.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to his emergency vet care! Thanks to you he is now thriving in his foster home and has a chance at living a happy life. We have raised a total of $1230 through e-transfers and GoFundMe donations. Our final bill ended up being $1395 so we only have $165 left to fundraise for Shadow’s veterinary care! We need to cover the remainder of Shadow’s medical bills in order to help more cats in need.

🐾 Update on Shadow:

We are thrilled to announce that Shadow has shown some minor progress during his hospitalization!🏥 He has been able to p*e once on his own since being hospitalized which is a great sign, but he isn’t in the clear just yet. New X-rays have shown that he has an abnormally shaped bladder, likely from his bladder being stretched while being over-filled and not being able to p*e. He needs to stay in the vet’s emergency care until at least Monday where any further progress (or regression) will be shared with us. He will continue to receive fluids until at least Monday and may need more catheterization depending if he’s able to p*e more on his own or not.

We want to send our heart felt thanks to all of our kind hearted and generous supporters who have donated to Shadow’s emergency stay so far! ❤️‍🩹 We’ve now raised a total of $1160 for Shadow’s emergency care through e-transfer and GoFundMe donations. Thank you to Brian, Wes, Kelsey, Cheryl, Danka, Andjelija, Laurie and Yvonne for your generous donations! ❤️ We also want to thank Lola & Dave for raising medical funds through their handmade birdhouse fundraiser.

🚨 Emergency Medical Donations Urgently Needed! ❤️‍🩹

🐈‍⬛ Shadow is a sweet cat who entered our rescue at the end of May after spending much of his life as an outdoor stray cat. Shadow recently found his forever home, however less than 2 weeks after his adoption he suddenly stopped being able to urinate and his bladder was not able to be expressed by a veterinarian. He spent an emergency 24-hour stay at an animal hospital in Lloydminister, where it was found that he had no blockages or infection. Shadow has an “atonic bladder” which could possibly be caused by neurological condition. Shadow sadly had to be returned to the rescue for his costly care to be continued. He has travelled back to Saskatoon and is now at the vet clinic that we use, where he will need a several day emergency stay where he is catheterized and on IV fluids with the hopes that his bladder will begin to function on it’s own. Our bill for Shadow’s emergency care is at $781 so far, but we are expecting to need a total of $1500 by the end of his stay.

🐾 Congratulations to Oreo 🎉 on being adopted into his loving, forever home ❤️🏡 Oreo is 1 of 6 cats that we rescued from an abandoned house this winter. Oreo arrived with many patches of missing fur due to over grooming which was related to both stress and allergies ❤️‍🩹 Rania and her husband Mohammed wanted to help by fostering Oreo and quickly fell in love with him. Oreo’s allergies have now been determined and his fur has grown back beautifully from living in a calm, stress-free home and eating his special diet. Oreo is now a very happy and loved cat who brings joy to his new parents. We wish Oreo a long, happy life with his new family! 💗

🐾 Congratulations to Cookie 🎉 on being adopted into his loving forever home ❤️🏡 Cookie came to our rescue as a stray cat who found shelter in a barn where the other barn cats weren’t very welcoming to him. Cookie was adopted into a new home, but due to emergency circumstances he was sadly returned to our rescue 2 months later💔 Cookie has now found his loving forever home and fit in so quickly that it was as though he’d always been part of the family! He now has 3 new furry siblings (1 cat and 2 dogs) who he loves to cuddle with. Cookie is very attached to his new family and loves being brushed by them, cuddling them and “making biscuits” on them. He has been given the adorable nick names “Cookie Monster” and “Chonk” by his new parents. We wish Cookie a long, happy life with his loving family 💗

Congratulations to Kismet 🎉 on being adopted into her loving, forever home! ❤️🏡 Kismet came from a litter of 5 kittens born to a mama cat who was found as a very pregnant stray in the Pleasant Hill area. Kismet’s new parents, Hannah and Jaydon, had previously adopted 2 other cats through our rescue while being a foster home. They were friends with Kismet’s foster mom, and came over for a visit not knowing that they’d fall in love with Kismet while visiting. Her new parents brought home, and their other pets who are 4 cats and a dog, quickly bonded with her. Kismet adores her new family and home, and spends a lot of her time playing, lounging around and cuddling her new siblings and parents. We wish Kismet a long, happy life with her new family 💗
