Today I spent the whole day at the Cube. The day went pretty smoothly... no real crazy people, only one euthanasia (symptomatic FIV+ cat :( ), and no cat dumps. I brought Lilly and Ruby in so they could get their first FVRCP. We are going to continue their antibiotics for a few more days to try to see if we can get Lilly cleared up. Lilly weighed 3.0 lbs and Ruby was 3.3 lbs, so as soon as they are both healthy they can be spayed!
Here are the girls curled up in their crate at the Cube. They were adorable, and attracted a lot of attention :)
That morning one of the head volunteers found a singleton kitten while trying to trap the mom; it appeared that she had abandoned him. The volunteer scooped him up and we bottle fed him throughout the day. Another volunteer brought in a nursing momma to get tested, and she also took the kitten to see if the momma would "adopt" and raise him.
And here is Pogo. He is an absolute favorite of everyone who meets him. He was rescued before the first major snowstorm and has been in foster care since. He is estimated to be 6-8 years old. As you can see, sometime in his life some horrible person got the idea to dock his ears, like a pit bulls (but didn't neuter him). Amazingly, Pogo still loves people and is looking for his forever home.
Tomorrow I'm taking a shelter dog to an adoption event at a local Petco. I'm so exhausted, but it's wonderful. These animals need so much help and I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to help them how I can.
