Our Help Me Heal Friends
Your donation helps cats and dogs like those below receive the special care they need!
Terry
|
Terry is the mightiest stray there ever was. Upon arrival, he was rushed to urgent care for treatment. He was severely dehydrated and received fluids. He also came in with hitch hikers that were kicked to the curb.
Now in foster, he has learned to regulate his body temperature and has gained over half a pound in weight. |
Fisher
|
Fisher (black and white) and his brother Surfer (tabby) came into our care as transfers from another rescue. While they are a great support system for each other, Fisher had some unexpected medical issues arise.
Fisher had some issues with the tissue covering one of his shoulders, it was obviously bugging him as he would continue to mess with it until intervention was required. Recently, he was seen to have some of that tissue removed. After some recovery, he is much happier and less bothered. |
Quinn
|
Quinn was found as a stray in the City of Neenah. She came in with a significant leg injury that needed multiple rounds of saline flushes and a Capstar treatment.
She spent some time in observation with the vet and had a debridement clean up done. She is now recovering at the shelter and growing her fur back! Update: Quinn is fully recovered and available for adoption at the shelter! |
Rebel (Vivi)
|
Rebel is a stray that was found on the side of the road. After evaluation, it was determined she had a broken pelvis. Rebel is on a strict bed rest regimen for 6 weeks to heal up. When that 6 weeks is up next week, she will be reevaluated to determine if surgical intervention or amputation is required for her best chance at success.
Update: Rebel has found her way into the heart of one of our board members! He is currently fostering her with the intent to adopt once she's ready. Her name is now Vivi! |
Alani
|
Alani joined our shelter crew as a stray in need of some TLC. She needed some general maintenance like a nail trim, but had much bigger needs as well. At the end of July, Alani went into the vet for a spay and we tacked on both a mammary mass, mass cell, and histoplasmosis removal. She is recovering well, but will need additional treatment for these masses as well as a dental to get her all shiny and new. |
22 Rescue Cats
|
|
Our rescue took in 22 cats.Every cat that arrived in our care was sick and required medical treatment. All are currently receiving antibiotics and are already showing signs of improvement. Despite everything they have endured, they are incredibly social, affectionate, and trusting.
Not every outcome has been the one we hoped for. We made the difficult decision to humanely euthanize one cat upon intake due to severe illness. We also lost a 4-week-old kitten despite our best efforts. These losses are heartbreaking, but we are grateful they were surrounded by people who cared for them and relieved of their suffering. |
There is also hope.

Bindi
|
Bindi was roaming as a stray and was transferred to Neenah Animal Shelter from a Northern Wisconsin rescue partner. Bindi was diagnosed with heartworm shortly after her arrival. Bindi is currently looking for a foster home to receive her heartworm treatment.
Unfortunately heartworm can be fatal to dogs when left untreated. The good news is heartworm is not only treatable but also preventable! Dogs can receive heartworm preventatives from their vet. Unfortunately heartworm treatment is costly and time consuming. This is where our community can support us by donating or offering to foster a dog with heartworm. Bindi is actively receiving treatment and is recovering in her foster home. |
