🐾💙 A WEEK OF WORRY, VET VISITS & LITTLE FIGHTERS AT LOVELAND'S CAT RESCUE 💙🐾
It's been another emotional and worrying week here at LoveLand's, with several of our precious cats and kittens needing veterinary attention, emergency treatment and ongoing care.
We wanted to share a little update on four of our beautiful rescues who have needed some extra help this week.
🌸 ROSIE – OUR BRAVE MUMMY
You may remember Rosie, who came into our care with her five kittens after being kept in awful conditions.
During her spay, our vets discovered fluid in her abdomen and a mass on her intestine. This week, Rosie has been back at the vets for further investigations to try to understand what's going on.
After everything this girl has already endured, we're desperately hoping for some positive news.
🐾 BUGGS – OUR TINY MIRACLE
Our incredible little Buggs continues to defy the odds!
Born in August, Buggs came into our care weighing just 179 grams, with an estimated survival chance of less than 5%.
But this little fighter clearly didn't get the memo!
We're delighted to share that Buggs has now passed the 300 gram mark! Every single gram is a huge achievement for her.
She's also been back to the vets this week, and as she continues to gain weight, we can begin looking into what lifelong care she may need.
She's certainly not out of the woods, but we're so incredibly proud of how far she's come.
🦁 LEO – ANOTHER LITTLE FIGHTER
Unfortunately, Buggs' brother Leo gave us quite a scare this week.
Weighing just 450 grams, Leo suddenly became lethargic and went off his food. His wonderful fosterer quickly noticed something wasn't right, and on checking him, we discovered his gums were extremely pale.
During an attempt to take blood samples, the vets found that his blood was exceptionally fatty.
Leo received subcutaneous fluids from our emergency vet last night and is now receiving intensive supportive care alongside his sister Buggs.
Both babies are currently having three-hourly feeds, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Being supported by specialist heat pads, glucose testing and 24/7 observations.
Their fosterer is doing an absolutely incredible job, sacrificing sleep and working around the clock to give these little ones the best possible chance.
🍬 TOFFEE – OUR NEWEST LITTLE ARRIVAL
We'd also like to introduce you to someone you haven't met yet... little Toffee!
Born on 17th October, Toffee had only just started opening his eyes when his foster mum noticed something wasn't quite right.
One of his eyes appeared blue, and knowing how serious eye problems can be in tiny kittens, we weren't taking any chances.
Toffee was seen by our out-of-hours vets, who checked for infections, ulcers and scratches. Thankfully, these checks all came back normal.
He's now receiving antibiotic eye drops for the next week as a precaution and will need further assessments to investigate a possible congenital abnormality and whether he may have sight loss in the affected eye.
It's still early days, and we're hoping for the best for this precious little boy.
THE REALITY OF RESCUE
These are the moments people don't always see.
The emergency vet visits, worrying phone calls, sleepless nights, constant monitoring and fosterers giving everything they have to keep these little lives going.
As a small rescue, weeks like this are incredibly challenging, both emotionally and financially.
But every single one of these cats deserves a chance, and we will continue doing everything we can for them.
CAN YOU HELP WITH OUR VET BILLS?
With so many poorly little ones needing veterinary treatment, our bills are continuing to grow.
If anyone would like to help towards the costs of Rosie, Buggs, Leo and Toffee's care, we would be incredibly grateful.
💙 PayPal – Donations can be made directly to our rescue. https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/lovelandscatsrescue
💙 Directly to our vets – Please contact us to make a payment directly towards LoveLand's Cat Rescue's veterinary account.
Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. And if you're unable to donate, sharing our post means just as much.
We also want to say a huge thank you to our incredible fosterers, who work tirelessly behind the scenes, often sacrificing their own sleep and time to give these cats and kittens the care they need.
Please keep Rosie, Buggs, Leo and Toffee in your thoughts.
And finally thank you to everyone who continues to support our little rescue. We genuinely couldn't do this without you.
