A lovely woman had been caring for her two cats since they were 5 weeks old. But, 15 years later, one of her cats, Sherlock, was diagnosed with chronic ear infections. Unfortunately, the vet she had been going to for years refused to do any kind of work, as she couldn't provide the money up front.
That’s when Animal Aid stepped in. We sent her to our trusted friends at Bayview 7 Animal Hospital, where they discovered that Sherlock’s infection was resistant to antibiotics. With standard treatments proving ineffective, the only option left was to remove his ear canal entirely. Now, as he recovers, he is receiving the care and comfort he needs. The staff at the clinic absolutely fell in love with him, and he was terrific with them.
It's because of your support that Animal Aid is able to help people and animals in need. A heartfelt thank you to Bayview 7 for their compassion and expertise and, as always, a special thanks to Bingo World and Gaming for their continued support.
Meet Whitney & her Kittens
During the time of year when temperatures plummet below zero, many animals left out to fend for themselves and can fall victim to the cold. Whitney is one of the lucky ones, having been rescued from an outdoor residential colony after Animal Aid was alerted about the situation. The very next day, Whitney delivered 7 adorable kittens and Animal Aid ensured they all received the proper medical attention. With the help of our partner rescue, we were able to insure Whitney and her kittens stayed healthy and when the time came, the kittens would be able to find loving homes.
It is especially important during these cold winter months that Animal Aid is able to help animals in need, since it is when they are the most at risk from the elements and because of your support, we were able to help Whitney and her kittens get them the needed food, supplies, and vetting they needed to ensure that they would go on to live long happy lives in their forever homes.
Meet Toe Beans! This sweet little kitten arrived in November, just 9 weeks old, when he was discovered curled up in a pile of leaves. Unfortunately, just two days after his rescue, things took a turn for the worse. Toe Beans started showing signs of illness, and after a visit to the vet, we learned that he had a serious blockage in his intestines, likely caused by something he had eaten while outside. With great care from our vets and the loving support of his foster home, Toe Beans was able to make a full recovery. Now, at 16 weeks old, he’s a healthy, happy kitten ready to find his forever home!
Toe Beans’ journey would not have been possible without the generosity of donors like you, as well as the continued support of Bingo World and Gaming. Your donations make it possible for us to rescue and care for animals in need, and we couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for helping us give more animals a chance at a better life!
At Animal Aid & Adoption, we witness many heartbreaking cases, but some stories stick with us more than others. One such story is about a man whose love for cats quickly spiraled into a situation of overwhelming neglect – a tale that reflects the tragedy of hoarding and the need for greater awareness and action.
It all started innocently enough. This man, with a heart full of compassion, began feeding a few stray cats that had wandered into his yard. At first, he felt he was doing the right thing, helping animals in need. However, without realizing it, the situation began to escalate. He didn’t spay or neuter the animals, and soon enough, the cats started multiplying. What began as a handful of cats soon became dozens and the chaos quickly spread.
As the number of cats grew, so did the challenges. The backyard, once a safe space for the strays, became overcrowded and filthy. With no way to properly care for them, disease, fleas, and ticks ran rampant. Without the necessary medical care and attention, many of the cats were sure to develop eye infections, respiratory problems, malnutrition which would cause problems with their teeth.
But amidst the overwhelming situation, there was a small glimmer of hope. The man realizing he couldn’t manage the ever-growing population of cats, allowed Animal Aid & Adoption to step in and with his permission, two 8 month old kittens Olivia and Benson were rescued from the overcrowded yard. The kittens were lucky that they didn’t have any severe health issues. One kitten only had fleas, which we were able to treat immediately.
