Happy Bunny Butt Friday!

Wendy is enjoying her foster home but would love a home of her own! She needs someone who is not intimidated by her “tough exterior” especially when there’s so much sweetness inside! Visit her Adopt-A-Pet post for more details on her story.

We have SO many small animals waiting for homes! Check them out on our Adopt-A-Pet page https://www.adoptapet.com/shelter/229323-underground-squeaks-pittsburgh-pennsylvania

We have:
• single & bonded pairs of rabbits
• bonded guinea pig pairs
• bonded pair of young female rats
• chinchillas: two adult single males (and two young bonded male pairs being posted soon)
• one single female gerbil & three bonded pairs of gerbils - all friendly (& their adoption fee is partially sponsored)
• adult male mice who desperately want a home of their own as they near their first birthday (adoption fee partially sponsored)
• We also have a male ASF (African Soft Fur) that was brought to us this week by a Good Samaritan after someone tried to release him in a local park. He is surprisingly friendly for an ASF. Pet only.

And don’t forget our cats:
• Stoick: Our young, handsome 1-year-old long-haired tabby has interest but no confirmed adoption yet.
• Miss Molly: Our super-friendly 1-year-old female tabby got her first vaccines today and is scheduled to be spayed in mid-September. She is available for fostering now and will be available for adoption once she is spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated in September.
• Finn: Our 15 week old kitten is now fully vaccinated and will be available for adoption once he is neutered & microchipped in September. He does have a working diagnosis of Feline Herpes (common & treatable) and mild Cerebellar Hypoplasia (Wobbly Cat Syndrome).
All our cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Indoor homes only.

🌟 UPDATES 🌟

🖤 Our Burgh Buns patients are currently stable but one is still having mystery symptoms and is going to need help from one of our vets.

💛 Paddington’s temp is back up to normal and he is stable again as well.

🐈 Finn: We have currently tabled FIP and Toxoplasmosis based on his symptoms so far. His new diagnoses are Feline Herpes (common; treatable) and Cerebellar Hypoplasia (aka Wobbly Cat Syndrome). It is non-progressive and not contagious. He was born this way and his symptoms are mild. It explains the mild Nystagmus, head bobbing, twitchy behaviors and coordination issues. His lethargy had masked some of those symptoms. The fluids restored his energy and we were able to put more of the pieces together. He has trouble jumping up on chairs, etc., is clumsy and sometimes falls. It does not cause him any pain and he doesn’t know any different. His accommodation needs will be minimal. His adopter will just need to make sure his food, water and litter box are on or low to the ground. He will get his second round of vaccines later this week. Once he’s finished his antibiotics, as long as his respiratory issues continue to improve, he can be neutered in 2-4 weeks and will be ready for adoption! We currently have two potential adopters 🤞

‼️It’s been utter chaos since Friday ‼️

🐈 Friday evening we had to take Finn (kitten) to urgent care due to lethargy, lack of appetite and some new neuro symptoms (among other concerns). We ended up with a Feline Herpes diagnosis, adding fluids and restarting steam treatments. We also got mother/baby cat wet & dry fluid to boost his nutrition.

We are now heading to allpetanimalhosp figure out next steps. Thank you, Fix'N Wag'N & northsideanimalhosp for your help 🫶 Some of the medical issues that need to be ruled out include FIP and Toxoplasmosis.

🖤 Three of the presented with urgent GI issues over the weekend that we are currently treating in-house. And this morning, one of Sanctuary & Chronic Illness buns, Paddington, presented as lethargic with a low temp. We are providing supportive care for him, too 💛

To donate towards vet & medical costs: linker.ee/thesqueaks

🩷 We also have an emergency spay scheduled for Piper this Wednesday. Spay sponsorship is $120 and vaccine sponsorship is $40 per vaccine ($80) if anyone is able to sponsor her spay. She has an unknown medical history and is very hormonal/“aggressive” so this spay very necessary!

Love at first sight 🫶 Tippy (now Poppy) has found her forever home with her new BFF, Figgy!

Congratulations, Tippy, Figgy, and their mom, Jill 🎉

☔️ When you’re returning from a vet run with a chinchilla and it starts pouring you get creative and grab a waterproof garment bag to get the chinchilla inside safe & dry 😂

With that said… Neo got a clean bill of health today! He is headed into foster tomorrow and ready for adoption immediately! He is a middle-aged, 8-year-old friendly chinchilla.

His original owner moved and a friend took him in but their apartment’s pet policy changed and he urgently needed a safe place to land. He arrived last week and got a checkup today before heading into foster tomorrow.

Good golly, Miss Molly 🫶

👋 Please welcome Miss Molly to rescue. She was left behind in an apartment. When the property management tried to find her somewhere safe to land, the advice they were given was to drop her off at a farm or euthanize her. (1st pic; best pic we could get because she just wants love) They reached out to us for help after exhausted other leads and new tenants needing to move in. We are grateful they didn’t take the advice given to them or simply kick her to curb as others have done. Thankfully, we were able to make room for her but as friendly as she is we hope to get her into foster soon.

🛟 She is super-friendly, indoor-only and only a year old . We will get her well-checked, vaccinated and scheduled to be spayed. If anyone is interested in fostering this sweet, sweet girl until she’s ready for adoption let us know!

‼️And don’t forget that Stoick (2nd pic) is still waiting for a foster or adoptive home. He is a healthy, 1-year-old long-haired tabby. He is friendly, mischievous, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Indoor home only.

🆘 Last, but certainly not least, bonded sibling rabbits Abby & Otis (3rd pic) are returning from their foster home next week and are in need of a new foster home or adopter! They really are the perfect bonded pair. They are young, healthy and pet- and family-friendly!

We were able to reunite Serenity with her family on Wednesday! Serenity was picked up by a Good Samaritan and brought to us a few weeks ago. She had escaped her family’s yard and her family contacted us looking for her. They were new to the area and going through a family emergency. They needed help with vetting, local resources and figuring out how to set her up safely in an indoor area. And we were happy to be able to help!

Thanks to your support and a generous donation from Breezy Lou Designs we were able to get Serenity spayed and her first RHDV2 vaccine! We will transport her to the vet at the end of the month for her booster vaccine. We were also able to provide her family with all the supplies they need to set her up safely in an indoor area. We also provided her with a carrier so they have a safe way to transport her.

🛟 Speaking of carriers, we are running low on our favorite rescue carrier: https://a.co/d/0h64FG3x We’ve added it to our Amazon Wishlist linktr.ee/thesqueaks They are easy to get rabbits (and other animals) in & out of. AND they fold down flat for storage and to keep in our vehicles. Walmart also has its own version (PM us for mailing address): https://www.walmart.com/ip/35924978?sid=CF3DE516-B701-4436-A9CA-7FE7269D41A3 (They also sell then in 2- and 3-packs.)

Updates & A Note from Sammie:

It has been a busy week! I injured my arm last week and after two urgent care visits was diagnosed with a hematoma & possible bone bruise. Two weeks of “light duty” and a splint. We have a lot of animals in group foster with us and animal care is not “light duty” so our amazing team of volunteers has been helping with daily chores and cleaning. (Interested in volunteering and in/around the South Hills… we always need more volunteers!)

Today, we had a vet run including:

🐇 rabbit spay/vaccine for the rabbit that arrived last Thursday

💉three annual rabbit vaccines; Birch, Britta and Tippy are now spay/neutered and fully vaccinated. All three will be ready for adoption 8/15!

🐈 Finn, the severe URI kitten we brought in last Thursday, went back to the vet. He looks SO much better! BUT he was still wheezing, coughing, and had mouth breathing requiring steam treatments. His URI requires stronger meds. If he doesn’t improve by Monday, he‘ll go back for additional testing. The hope is that it’s a severe URI that will resolve with the additional medications. But there are other options that will need to be ruled out if he doesn’t improve. Whatever he needs, as always, we’re here to see it through!

Thank you for all your support now & always! -Sammie & the Squeaks
