It’s Make a Difference Monday 🧡

Today, one little cat is showing us just how much difference an act of kindness makes.

She was found by the side of the road — alone, badly injured, and in excruciating pain. Her back leg was shattered. Her tail was half gone. No one knows what happened, or how long she lay there. It's likely she was run over by a car, but we don't know for sure. What we do know is that she was out there suffering until a kind stranger scooped her up and brought her to the nearest vet.

We were asked if we could take her. The answer was yes.
Yes, to giving her a chance.
Yes, to getting her into surgery fast.
Yes, to helping her survive.

We named her June Bug.

Her damaged leg and tail were amputated, and she's now recovering in loving hands in the home of a Whiskers' volunteer. She’s sweet. She’s stable. And she’s safe.

But we can’t do this alone.

🧡 Your gift helps cover her medical costs.
🧡 Your shares help us reach the next kitty in need.

June Bug survived because someone stepped in. Your donation today helps cover her care — and save the next life.

I discovered that the Spay & Neuter Van comes to Troy one day a month in cooperation with a rescue group named Operation Snip! I dropped off a feral cat this morning. It was very nice to not need to drive to Kingston, New York for the van. If you know or hear of anyone looking for a low cost, Spay & Neuter service, refer people to Operation Snip in Troy! That group can connect the person with the van.

The cat I brought today will be getting spayed, a rabies vaccination, a distemper vaccination, will have Revolution applied, and will be tested for FIV/FELV. The cost for that will be $185. The basic service is a space/neuter plus a rabies vaccination for $95.

Operation Snip has an online form for sign up & payment. This is a great option for anyone - it’s not income based.  The veterinarian, and her assistant will do friendly cats and feral cats. I brought my feral cat in a humane trap this morning, along with a cat carrier as they requested.

Just one example of the many cats at Whiskers that need your financial help! You don’t need to be rich, even $20 helps pay for medicine and food.

This is my buddy, Grover!  he is the kind of cat that always meets you at the door, always helps you get cat meals ready, and who loves to curl up in your lap!  he makes me laugh so much when he runs around the house like a nut and plays with Anything that he deems to be a toy.

I’m spending time with Koko this week! She’s old, but keeps on truckin’! I guess what I really should say is that we are growing old together. 🙂 Long time customer!
