Virginia and Babies
Update 4/17/11: The tabby had to be euthanized today, as he was suffering and near death. We are down to 1 remaining little fighter...and Virginia, the mom. We just picked mom up. She is infested with hookworms which was causing the fecal blood, and has gotten her first round of wormer. She is on antibiotics for the blood in the urine.  She will not be able to nurse, and lost all her babies (remaining kitten is the adopted one). But she will recover while being loved and given all the food she wants. No more hunger pains fof this sweet girl that has stolen everyone's heart!  Update 4/17/11: Unfortunately the little orange boy did not make it through the night :'( He just had no more strength left. His brother the tabby isn't doing so well today, time will tell. On a good note, the larger black boy is still doing ok...still touch and go, but holding on. Mom is still in ER, but resting comfortablely...probably for the first time in her life. Will update again later or tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who can help!!! Virginia is a young Mom who we saved along with her babies, and other cats/dogs on Saturday. They came from a kill shelter in WV...all came in rough shape.  Virginia and babies were the worst. She had been starved and was so dehydrated that her milk completely dried up. In turn, she arrived with only 6 of the 9 babies she was sent with. One baby arrived deceased, 1 near death and the others very weak. Mom was lethargic, urinated and deficated blood, and was clearly in need of medical attention.  Dawn, our VP/Kitty Coordinator, and her husband, Chris, rushed Virginia & 5 babies to Orchard Park ER. Unfortunately 2 had to be humanly euthanized. Mom was Fiv/FeLV tested negative and her blood work was ok. But she was very dehydrated and we still didnt know why she was so sick.  Virginia is staying at least 1 day at the ER, and Dawn took the last 3 babies home to bottle feed every 2 hours. We had to purchase a heat lamp, thermometer and kitten milk. That, combined with the down payment at the ER, makes up the total chipin amount currently needed. We will update the chipin when we have any news and to reflect changes in donations needed.  Virginia and her remaining babies need your help. Two of the babies are 6 days old and one is 11 days old (she adopted that one before she came). Any amount you can give will help us save these precious lives. They did not deserve the neglect they received before we got them, and we will do whatever we can to help them!  |

Missy is a female 3-4 year old Lab/Amstaff mix dog who weighs around 60 pounds. She came to us as a local stray! She is a nice, sweet, loving, and affectionate dog. We worry about her because she is very trusting and will go up to any dog (even if they don't like her) or leave with any person she meets. Missy is so submissive that she was attacked by a dog and just laid on her back. This is why she has some scabs on her legs in the 3rd photo. We can tell that she previously had puppies and was not well taken care of because she was very skinny when we first got her. Missy is EXCELLENT with kids of all ages but due to her size we do not recommend her in a home with children under the age of 8. She sometimes likes to jump up on you to say hello and to give you kisses. She can tolerate a busy household with a lot of activity going on. Although she is AMAZING with many dogs, there may be a couple here and there that she does not get along with. She is currently being fostered in a home with a dog her size and one thats 10 pounds. Missy doesn't understand boundries and will just walk up to a dogs food or water dish to share. She thinks that all dogs are supposed to like her, so her owner needs to protect her in that way. She will plop down on the dogs back or head so we want her with a dog that will be okay with that. We just laugh cause she really doesn't have a clue. Missy is also good with cats that are used to dogs. She does not do well with cats that will hiss or act aggressively to her. If you are laying in bed she will try and kiss you then lay on you. Missy is special in that she is slightly cross eyed and occassionally will bump into things. She is great on and off leash and will not wander off. She is both crate trained and potty trained. Sometimes she will whimper a little in her crate but then settles down quickly. She has had free roam of the house and did very well. She does not chew or get into things. Anyone who adopts Missy will be very lucky!! She has one odd behavior. When you are holding a small animal in your arms, she gets sketchy so we just avoid that. She is up to date on her shots, dewormed, tested negative for heart worms, and spayed. If you are interested in meeting her please call or text us at 716-208-7747.
