Cats and kittens trying to survive on the streets sometimes have to rely on us to help with health issues. Upper respiratory and eye infections are common. Sometimes amputations, eye inoculations, hernias and even spleen issues we treat.
4 Paws Rescue Foundation focuses on rescuing cats and kittens who likely have no other way to survive. We do everything they need to find a loving furever home and most often it is a significant amount of veterinary care.
Once trapped, they are brought to the vet to be assessed and devise a treatment plan. Ferals once healed are released back and the adoptable cats and kittens are placed in foster care so they can begin enjoying the comforts of a home while they heal.
Our volunteer fosters are at the heart of our ability to save lives, providing nurturing environments that speed the recovery process.
These are just a few of the vet expenses we deal with regularly:
11/3/20 – Aspen
This poor guy was suffering on the streets at 8 years old.
Someone had already neutered him as he had his right ear tipped. But something was going on with his eye and his paws were bleeding when I trapped him.
Turns out he had cancer around the eye that was removed. His paws were infected and he received antibiotics.
This guy was in recovery for a month and no way could I put him back out with all that he went through and at his age! His previous life was on the streets in a very high coyote area. And after he recovered, being inside, he was so white!
Although a feral, he now lives indoors, knows his name, no longer hisses when you approach and he is enjoying his senior years safe and loved!
5/10/22 – Peaches (formally Sparrow)
This beautiful girl was not fixed, not microchipped and had a ruptured eye that had to be removed.
How long she was suffering, no one knows but she is not only beautiful but a complete love bug!
She was adopted on 7/13/22 and is so well loved!
Your support will help us provide veterinary care, medications
and everything else necessary to ensure comfort
for the cats and kittens while recovering.
