We got Pidgit’s bloodwork back and her anemia is resolved! Her red blood cell count is now totally normal at 30, and some other abnormalities from her previous round of bloodwork have also resolved, which is great. Her white blood cell counts are largely elevated though, pointing to inflammation, so we’ll be keeping a close eye on her and getting that rechecked next week. In the meantime, she’s made a new best friend in Babybel. ❤️

Pidgit went to the vet today for pre-op bloodwork, mostly to see how her anemia is improving. She was so sweet while we were there and had a great time exploring the exam room and eating many Temptations. Pidgit also had a heart murmur upon exam, but her proBNP test was normal, so we think it was just a stress reaction. Bloodwork comes back tomorrow and, if all looks good, we can schedule her amputation!

Today’s visit was about $350, and Pidgit appreciates all the support shown to her so far!

Pidgit checking in! She’s doing well but has a bit of a cold, and we’re heading to the vet tomorrow for a recheck of her pcv and to get a recommendation for the leg. She actually walks on it more than in this particular video, but she’s remarkably on-the-go for a cat with a broken femur so it’s hard to catch a clear photo or video of her. Poor kid is also super skinny still, but we’re working on that with high-calorie treats. She’s super cute and I think feeling ok, all things considered!

Blueberry (slide 1) and sister Banana Nut were neutered/spayed and vetted today! They’re happy to be back together and looking for a forever home as a pair.

The kittens are about 3.5 months old, vaccinated, microchipped and tested negative for fiv/felv. They are positively adorable!

Dapper would love to find a foster home for pre/post-surgery life! She’s an easy girl who loves Friskies and hanging out. She’ll be having surgery to remove mammary tumors in the next few weeks and needs a nice comfy spot to heal and relax. Dapper is fine with other cats too!

Let us know if you might be interested in hosting her. She needs to stay nearish to Park Slope for now.

This one’s pretty hard, but I wanted to share that Dean passed away a couple weeks ago due to his heart failure. He had done so well once he was released from the hospital and fit in seamlessly with our crew, but in reality, his lungs were filling back up with fluid again almost immediately. He had an episode one night, perhaps a blood clot, and began having trouble breathing so we rushed him back to VERG. His lungs were just full of fluid, and since it happened again so soon after the first episode of heart failure, his prognosis was poor. We couldn’t have afforded to hospitalize him again, and he was suffering, so we had to let him go. I’ve experienced a lot of death, but this one was particularly difficult because I know how many people were rooting for Dean, and because I desperately wanted him to have a good last chapter.

I took this photo of him the morning he died. He was happy and weaving around my legs for attention and looking for more food. I loved him a lot and I know he could feel that love from everyone who cared about him since he joined us in February.

Hayden had entropion surgery on Tuesday to repair his inward-turning eyelids in both eyes. Before the surgery, he barely opened his eyes at all, so it’s amazing to see his lovely eyes now, even if he’s a little bruised and swollen from the surgery. The sutures will be removed on the 20th, and there’s a chance he’ll need a future revision because the entropion was so severe. Huge thanks to BBAWC Rescue Clinic for helping Hayden out and making a huge difference in his quality of life.

Once Hayden is healed, he’ll be looking for a home! He’s a super sweet, young guy. ❤️

Zack had his final surgery check in today and got the all clear. He’s mostly wondering why no one has applied to adopt him!

As you can see from these photos and videos, Zack is a total package. Back in August, he was actually going to be euthanized at ACC because he required surgery on both hips. We didn’t have the money or space, but I offered to be his backup in case another rescue couldn’t help him, because needing hip surgery seemed like a pretty ridiculous reason to be euthanized. He ended up with us after one surgery had already been done, and we took care of the second side.

Now, Zack is a new man and he’s ready for a home. He’s thriving solo but likes a lot of attention, and I’m sure he’d do fine with other cats. He’s only a couple of years old and a fluffy little guy. Zack is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and tested negative for fiv/felv. He’s an angel.

Dapper went to the vet Monday for her upper respiratory infection and some diagnostics on her mammary tumors. We learned that she’s already spayed, and her X-rays show the cancer hasn’t spread and is likely contained to only one node. This is great news for her, and since her bloodwork is good, she’s a good candidate for surgery that will extend her life span. Her teeth also look great and she may be a bit younger than 10.

Dapper also had a bit of a shelter cold, but she’s feeling much better now. She loves to eat and will follow you around in the hopes of getting a snack. This sweet girl deserves to be completely spoiled for the time she has left, so please let us know if you’d be interested in being her person. Dapper is fine around other cats and a real sweetheart.

Dapper came from the shelter with lots of donations that covered her original $600 bill from Monday, and surgery will be $1740. We’d like to get her in asap but do need to fundraise for this amount. All donation links are in our bio if you’d like to help Dapper out!

Blueberry and Banana Nut checking in! These kids have been raised very well by their cat mom and human caretakers, and they’re both already purring and pretty chill after less than a day indoors. Usually kittens will meow and meow nonstop on their first night indoors, but these guys just curled up in little balls and slept through the night.

I’d love to find them a foster to keep working with them while we schedule their spay/neuter appointments, be in touch if you’re interested in a light socialization project! They are super cute and robust little kids.
