More Jeremiah

Here are some more pics of our sweet rescued boy, Jeremiah. It's clear his time on the street left his body quite ravaged, although thankfully not his spirit.

Jerry now has a fan club of admirers who are rooting for his recovery and we are so happy that PFA was able to get him off the street and set him on a road to a better life.

Update on Jeremiah

PFA would like to thank our kind supporters for keeping Jeremiah in their prayers and for the generous contributions towards his care. We have also received an offer to foster him as soon as he is able to leave the clinic. We really appreciate it, and so does Jerry!

The good news is that he is improving. He is still in isolation and receiving medication but he's eating well, looking brighter-eyed and totally soaking up the attention.

The week-end meant that a number of PFA volunteers stopped by the clinic today to meet Jeremiah, and he was quite pleased to receive visitors! He is a sweet, vocal and loving cat who adores treats and has already learned how to "work it" for more. He loves to nuzzle and head butt, and is none too pleased when you stick him back in the kennel to make your exit.

We have our fingers crossed that his next blood test, coming up in 4 days, will show that he has improved enough to go to his foster home.

We are so happy to see this deserving little guy get a chance to heal and find a caring home.

An Emergency Rescue to Start the New Year

This poor bedraggled and downtrodden fellow is Jeremiah, a young male cat who was rescued from a PFA feral feeding station on Monday. He is scrawny, dehydrated, and is missing one ear and huge patches of fur. He could barely drag himself along in the snow on his three working legs to get out from under the deck and into the trap where the much coveted food awaited!

Jeremiah was whisked off to the Victoria Veterinary Clinic, where we anticipated the news that he would need to be put down. However, he is negative for Feline Leukemia and Feline Aids, and while sick with an infection, he has been eating well and using the litter box, so we have high hopes for his recovery.

Jeremiah does have a heart murmur and if he is to survive long, he needs a caring home as he won't be strong enough to fend for himself on the street for very long.

For now, we are taking it day by day and hoping for the best for this little guy, who has already survived against the odds.

Jeremiah is the very epitome of a PFA rescue cat - homeless, hungry and hurt. This is the kind of cat that we work so very hard to help get a better life - like Monty, Archie, Sammy and many others who came to us extremely sick and injured, and went on to find loving homes.

Please keep your fingers crossed for our little Jeremiah. We are gratefully accepting donations towards his veterinary care through our website at www.people4animals.ca or via PFA at PO Box 33066, Regina, SK, S4T 7X2 (please make a notation that your donation is for Jeremiah).

A huge thank you goes to the feral team for rescuing Jeremiah, and for those that have contributed to his care so far!

Henry from Winsor Castle

This handsome grey guy is Henry, and sweet stray found injured and cold at one of our feral feeding stations (jokingly known as Winsor Castle) on Christmas Day.

He was suffering from bite and scratch wounds and a swollen leg from a cat fight, but thankfully tested negative for FIV/FLV.

And thankfully, we received a few responses to our late night Christmas plea for a foster home for Henry, so he can get lots of TLC while he recovers. Kindness like that means so much to the volunteers who are out on the street daily caring for many of the stray and homeless cats in our city.

Henry will be available for adoption shortly. For more information, please contact us at saskpeopleforanimals@gmail.com

Pretty Kitty Phoebe Posing!

This is one happy girl, lounging and soaking up the love in her foster home!

Phoebe was abandoned and living outside when she was rescued in the fall, and she has been patiently waiting for the right person to come along and fall in love with her (and only her - she's not big on sharing attention!)

In the meantime, she is clearly enjoying life as a spoiled little foster cat!

A Close Call for this Cutie!

Last week, a PFA volunteer received a late night phone call about a cat that had been attacked and injured by a mentally challenged resident of a local group home. Concerned for her safety, the staff asked for help in relocating her quickly.

This poor tiny girl was hit repeatedly, grabbed by her fur and jerked around by her tail, but thankfully suffered no severe or long-term injuries. She has been treated by a vet and is safe in an emergency foster home.

Her name is Cookie, she is about 18 months old and will be listed for adoption shortly. She is quite rattled by the experience and a bit of time to recover and rebuild trust of people.

We would like to find her a quiet foster or adoptive home where there are no young children or other animals, as she is easily agitated. She is fine, however, with adults and enjoys lap time and petting with her temporary foster mom.

If you are interested in learning more about Cookie, please contact us at saskpeopleforanimals@gmail.com.
