Late-night quickie:
(Update😅):

Y'ALL - WE DID IT!! Phase one of keep Ollie safe AND happy has been conquered! We have enough to have the county hold the meter for us AND even some extra to start on phase two - which is the mini trackhoe endeavor! We've got some feelers out and we will see what we can find. I will go into more detail in the morning but I couldn't wait to let you know and to say a tremendous THANK YOU(!!) to EVERYONE for sharing, caring and donating to help Ollie out! Y'all are amazing!
We will still be against the clock because as of next Saturday the temperatures are supposed to drop below freezing.
Holy El Nino Batman! The weather in North Carolina has gone completely mad!🥴 Everyone have a great night and we will be back at it, shoulder to the wheel, first thing in the morning!

🐊 OLLIE UPDATE #2:
GOOD NEWS / BAD NEWS

GOOD NEWS: We've been in communication with Harnett County Water, and they have a water meter available for us! This is much-needed to get water back into Ollie's pond! 🙌🏻

BAD NEWS: They only have one meter available. The meters are first come, first serve, and a $500 deposit is required to secure it. On our first call with them this morning they told us we would have to find one ourselves and then magically this one got returned this afternoon and Jamie,(❤️!), who is wonderful by the way, called us right away.
We are working against the clock and Ollie could really use your help to make this happen. We don't want to lose the opportunity to get this meter!
🙏🏻 if we can find 100 people willing to donate $5 each, we could secure this meter TOGETHER!
No donation is too small. If you aren't able to donate, please share. You never know who might be able to help.
Thank you to everyone who is following Ollie's journey and has shared our posts, and shown her so much love! We appreciate every single one of you more than you know! ❤️
We do have further really cool updates about the pond itself and what we found today but we have to address this first and we are juggling posts with animal care as we speak. You all rock-
Let's get some water to Ollie! 🐊💦

EDIT #1:
Things are taking some shape and we are looking at assistance from the coats fire department as well as possibly Johnston County. But we have several other logistical things to work through. I will come back with a more detailed update when we have the details more streamlined, but at the moment I am reaching out here because somebody said that they had a mini trackhoe and I am hoping that that wonderful human is watching this page, and if so could you please reach out to us?
Be watching this page for updates and some really cool stuff that we've discovered about Ollie and her pond space! If trackhoe guy/gal, (i am so sorry but i cant for the life of me rememner who it was😭), could reach out or if you know someone with a mini trackhoe that might be able to help, could you please let us know? For the time being Ollie is doing fantastically well- thank you everyone so much for getting on board with us!⭐️⭐️

Due to the ongoing drought we've experienced this year Ollie’s pond is almost completely dried up.
We are in need of large amounts of water (as in thousands of gallons, similar to filling a swimming pool) to fill her pond before the temperature drops.
Alligators sustain themselves through the winter months by staying under the water, often with only their eyes and nose above the surface. Ollie cannot survive Outdoors without water. She weighs approximately 200 lbs. She is an adult American alligator. Attempting to bring her indoors would be very difficult - and brave 😅- and she would not be very happy to be on a dry lockdown for several months.
Anyone know of any fire departments or water haulers that might be able to help this amazing creature out?🐊❤️🙏🏻

**Pics are from last year when the pond was full…and to show how beautiful Ollie is.😍

ETA: photo credits to cindy! She is a fabulous picture taker and she is also Ollie’s number one fan. Thank you cindy❤️!

Elsa is home❤️
2 and a half day stay at the Points East Er before the tremors finally stopped, but today - thankfully - she seems like the worst of it has passed and she is very happy to be home. Assessment is still exposure to a toxic mold or mushroom.
Some pictures from day one and now of this beautiful soul.
Thank you to those that have donated towards her bill, shared, and sent us all the good juju so her light can continue to shine! She's on several medications for the next week to keep her stable but she acts mostly like she is back to her old self.
I have included a pic of the final bill, which topped out at just over $3,000. -whew!- which is somehow, for added blessing, a bit under the original estimate of $3,300, but it has drained the bulk of our emergency fund and we could still use your help to cover the cost so we can continue our mission of salvation for the next critter in need.
So grateful for the veterinarians and their teams at Points East for taking stellar care of our girl❤️

If you would like to make a donation you can do so at the links below. Any amount helps.❤️
