- Kittens, kittens and kittens, Oh my!
This Phoenix is ready to emerge again
Phoenix resting comfortably before her surgery
When Phoenix arrived from Animal Care Centers in Brooklyn, she was emaciated, had horrific diarrhea and numerous parasites, including lungworms. She was brought in to ACC as a stray so little is known about her history.
After treatment and a good diet, we were happy to see her start to thrive and put on weight.
Once her diarrhea was resolved, we moved her into one of our communal rooms which she loves. She gets along great with other cats, but is still a little shy with us.
While in the communal room, we noticed that her gait was off and she appeared to be limping.
After radiographs at Oyster Bay Animal Hospital, it was determined that Phoenix has an injury to her hip which requires surgery.
An appointment is scheduled at the Animal Surgical Center and we hope to send out a video of Phoenix running and playing like she should be as soon as she heals.
Any support for her medical care would be appreciated >>
Scenes from our Senior Prom (including updates on the King and Queen of the Prom!) plus an article in the Long Island Herald
Our King, Shiloh, and his Queen, Soca (now Coco) were the first to be adopted and are doing well in their new homes! Baby also found her forever home!
Wendy Goldstein won the "guess how many toys are in the jar" -- and she hit the nail on the head!
We still have some great senior kitties looking for homes, so if you weren't able to make it, please give us a call at 516-922-CATS to make an appointment to visit!
Clockwise from top: Shiloh, Baby and Soca.
Senior kitty, Lillian, still in search of a new home
8 year old Lillian lost her home because her owners "had no time for her." When she was brought to Animal Care Centers, it was determined that she had a severe oral infection, which was so bad, we thought it might even be cancer.
Good news -- The infected teeth were removed and a biopsy of the gum revealed severe inflammation -- no cancer! We are happy to report that Lillian is healing just fine.
Lillian is 8 years old and is in good health. She is available for regular adoption and also through our Seniors for Seniors program where we continue to cover her reasonable future medical care to any approved senior citizen who is lucky enough to be adopted by Lillian!
She's a lap cat!
Kittens, Kittens and Kittens, Oh My!
It's kitten season and shelters across the country are bursting at the seams.
All of our kittens are dewormed, screened for ringworm, vaccinated, microchipped and spayed and/or neutered before going home.
We have some really adorable litters at the moment -- if you would like to get on our kitten list please fill out our adoption application>>
If you aren't ready to adopt, please consider donating to help with the mounting costs that kitten season inevitably brings.
