It's !
In addition to taking in orphaned and forgotten babies, we also never knowingly leave a mama cat behind. Which is why we've chosen to include the word "sanctuary" in our description. Unfortunately most of the mama cats that we have come in will have health issues, or personality issues loll, and aren't usually considered "adoptable". So we've given them a safe place to land.
First up on our list of introductions, we have the matriarch of our cat army, Miss Honey (aka Grandma Honey). Last year before the rescue was officially established, I was just fostering neonates for shelters in the DFW area. I saw that this sweet mama cat had been found on the streets in Dallas with her six tiny 3 day old kittens. She was on the euthanasia list for having lesions and unknown masses in her mouth and refusing to eat. So I decided to go get all of them and foster-to-adopt mama, and get all of her babies adopted when they were ready. We have had her assessed by 2 different vets and it turns out that she has stomatitis, which is an extremely unfortunate and painful issue. It is an autoimmune disorder that causes swelling of the gums and obviously with having sharp teeth, it can cause cuts, irritation, swelling, and sometimes infection. However, it can be managed with the right treatment. Over the past year she has had steroid shots, antibiotic injections, pain meds, and even had a few of her teeth removed which is why her little tongue always sticks out lol.
Now, a year later, Miss Honey has made herself right at home as the Queen Bee of the house. She is such a sweet little lady (to humans and other cats as long as they give her space lol). However, don't let her cute looks fool you.. She is actually a thug and will charge up any dog that invades her territory, she has sent my we**ie dog running in terror a few times lolol 😵💫
After doing quite a bit of research into off label treatments for stomatitis, we are hoping to begin a promising treatment in the next few weeks at her next vet visit, that will provide her more long-term relief. But in the meantime, she will continue to be spoiled and given only her favorite wet food and tuna juice anytime she demands it 🥲☺️
