😿Adam Sandler is estimated to be 4 years old & came to ACCT as a stray, when a kind stranger noticed that he seemed to be declining outside. Adam's medical issues are numerous, but also result in a collection of symptoms that make a diagnosis difficult to navigate. The dental procedure that he may require in the future is affecting his ability to readily eat dry food, the infestation of fleas cause discomfort and hair loss, and his urinary tract infection may be the cause of what we suspect is acute kidney disease.
Adam is a little shy in his kennel, but a quick way to his heart is through ear and back scratches, where flea nibbles have left him itchy. After a couple minutes of positive affirmations, he helped himself to a snack, so we think he can be encouraged to eat with a buddy present. We would love to see Adam Sandler get his glow up and his strength back, so he can finally enjoy the comforts of indoor life.
Medical
“Adam was initially flagged for an exam based on concerns raised by his finder: lack of appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting. His full bloodwork is available upon request. He was initially nervous for handling, but slowly opened up to his human friends and allowed a very extensive exam.
The condition of his teeth is fair, while he does not have obvious broken teeth or root exposure, the heavy tartar noted indicates that, when he's feeling better, a dental procedure would help increase his quality of life. His abdomen was soft and non-painful upon palpation, and his heart and lung sounds revealed no abnormalities. His body shows moderate muscle atrophy diffusely, dehydration observed via skin turgor, and his hind legs were heavily scalded from likely urine.
Areas of Adam's skin most affected by his pyoderma are his abdomen and his back, and we attribute this to the copious fleas. His bladder is soft and medium-sized, uncomfortable to palpation but blood-tinged urine is easily expressible, and that his urinalysis revealed no crystals suggests a UTI versus urinary crystals. It is suspected, but not confirmed, that the urinary tract infection is the cause of the azotemia noted in the bloodwork, resulting in acute kidney disease--as opposed to chronic kidney disease, which would present as a gradual decline in kidney function.”

😿Lanwell is a shy, one year old who came to ACCT after a hard-fought trapping effort. Lanwell had a noted injury to her leg, and had not been putting weight on it for some time. While we don't know how long she had been living with this injury, we do know that this injury resulted in damage to her nerves, and the result is a decreased range of motion in the limb, in addition to understandable discomfort.
Lanwell has undergone a very abrupt change in scenery, and she's a little hesitant to accept friendship from the strange humans at the shelter, but her reactions do not escalate to using her claws or teeth. Lanwell displays behavior consistent with a community cat who enjoys the meals left by their caretaker, but is unfamiliar with the kind of affection and handling shown to cats who have entered into an agreement to become lifelong companions. We think that Lanwell needs, first and foremost, a foster with ACCT who can facilitate her surgery offsite, or a rescue partner who can provide an end to an injury that she's had to endure for quite a while. Then, she will need a soft place to land where she can recover, and learn the ins and outs of living indoors.
Medical
During a sedated exam our staff was able to fully examine her wound to determine the extent of her injury. Her left hindlimb is essentially "mummified" from the tarsus to digits, with two, full thickness wounds at the tarsus and a large granulation bed on the palmar aspect of the metatarsals. The lack of use has left the limb itself muscle-wasted.
Lanwell is currently resting on pain medication and antibiotics, but we feel as though she's lived with this injury for long enough, and would be more than happy to start her next chapter on three legs.

😿3 year old Mufasa came to ACCT when a kind stranger noticed he was injured, and he immediately charmed every single staff member he has come in contact with. Mufasa is gentle with his affections, and trusting of the new batch of kind strangers overseeing his care. Unfortunately, Mufasa is suffering from multiple pelvic fractures, and urgently needs to leave the shelter with a rescue that can facilitate a consult with an orthopedic surgeon to determine Mufasa's next steps, including pain management, crate rest and healing, or surgical options.
Mufasa is able to urinate and defecate on his own. Able to ambulate on forelimbs and left hindlimb. Right hindlimb drags behind when ambulating, but we found that sensation is present. Radiographs are available upon request, and at this time, we suspect that Mufasa is suffering from a separation of the right side of his pelvis from his spine, at the base of his tail--a right sacroiliac luxation. This is in addition to fractures of the pelvic symphysis and ramus.
Throughout his exams, radiographs, and treatments, Mufasa has been an all-star patient. He tolerates all handling, and even nudges your hand to encourage more pets, should you try and step away. While we want to encourage his rest, it was beneficial to observe his movements in action; this has been made easy, as all it takes is a few gentle words and he will come right up to you, eager for affection and ideally, some snacks.
