I want to talk to you about a cat named Julian. Julian came to us a little over a year ago, emaciated and covered in wounds. He was not neutered. Julian was out on his own in the bitter cold. He had a very nice couple who were watching out for him. They trapped him and brought him to the sanctuary.
A few weeks ago we were contacted by Paws Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in Fort Kent asking if we could help them with two cats. One was leukemia positive and the other has feline AIDS. We agreed to take both so they wouldn’t have to live out their days in a cage.
Late yesterday there was a knock on the door. It was a young lady looking for help for a cat she and her friend had been given and asked to dispose of.
The cat was in desperate need of medical attention. She had already been declined for assistance at the first place she went. I said yes, of course, and I told her I would get her a carrier.
The snow and the cold weather has arrived. If we listen to everyone it is going to be a difficult winter.
We thought we would give everyone an update on IHOP the little kitten we took in with the paralyzed tail and foot.
Spay/neuter seems like a simple concept right? Spaying and neutering cuts down on the number of unwanted pets that in many cases end up at shelters or even worse are left to fend for themselves out in the elements.
Porsche and I recently made that very familiar trip to Florenceville, New Brunswick to see a veterinarian. Sadly, Porsche did not make the trip back.
The kittens just don’t stop! Yesterday, we took in a mom and four babies. One of those babies was injured. It is really hard to understand the amount of kittens coming through our front door.
Every once in a while you meet someone who touches your heart.
In April, we were approached by a very kind gentleman who was very worried about two very young cats who were born on his property. Their mother had disappeared and the brother and sister were left to fend for themselves. They were under a year old and he did not want the same fate to fall on them as it did with their mom.
About a month ago, we took in a cat who had taken up residence in someone’s yard. We were contacted and agreed to take the cat. She was live-trapped and brought to The Ark. When we took her out of the trap her belly was very large and round. We knew immediately she was pregnant.
