CLANCY
This sweet boy was found in pain with no use of his back legs from suspected trauma. He is currently staying the night at Blue Pearl getting pain management and X-rays. Tomorrow he will be assessed by a surgeon to see what can be done. Clancy is a young friendly cat who deserves a chance. We have been quoted $1,000 for hospitalization alone. His finder named him Clancy, which translates to red headed warrior. Please help to contribute to Clancy's care if you can.
Update: We spoke with the surgeon today, and this is not the update we were hoping to share. After x-rays it was found that Clancy had multiple pelvic fractures, broken ribs, luxated discs on his back, deep pain in his back end, possible neurological trauma and had a hard time breathing without ozygen. Because of the extent of injuries and poor prognosis, effecting his overall quality of life - even with surgical intervention, it was decided he would be humanely euthanized. We are heartbroken but also grateful he did not pass away in pain next to the dumpster where he was found. Instead he was wrapped in a warm blanket, on pain meds and told what a good boy he was and how much he was loved. Thank you so much to the good Samaritans who found him and acted quickly, to everyone who donated to offset his expenses, those who cheered him on and to Blue Pearl for taking such good care of him. |
DENVER
Meet Denver! He was a transfer from a rescue partner in Northern Wisconsin. Denver is heartworm positive and had his first injection April 1st. When dogs are undergoing heartworm injections their activity level needs to be very minimal (3-4 five minute potty walks a day) If a dog is active during this time it can lead to something called a massive worm die-off, where the dog may experience a pulmonary embolism or even anaphylaxis which can result in death. Denver will need at least two more injections to help rid his body of the worms.
At first Denver was getting lots of love hanging out in the office, but now he is in a foster home.

DIO
16 year old Dio came in after his owner could no longer care for him. Staff quickly noticed a strong odor coming from his mouth. He was brought to the vet and immediately put on antibiotics for a severe mouth infection. Dio had dental surgery, where all but two of his teeth were pulled! Without the surgery Dio would continue to be in pain and have a very poor quality of life.
Dio is currently being spoiled in a foster home, following his mom everywhere. He may be an older gentleman, but he is as spunky as ever and conquered this dental like the champ we know he is. Unfortunately some of his kidney values are out of whack, so we are working with veterinary care staff to get this more under control before putting him back up for adoption. |
COCKATRICES
Cockatrices came into the Neenah Animal Shelter as a stray. He was dirty, matted, and incredibly fearful. Being outside had taken a toll on him and he needed a lot of help to begin healing, which included medical care and learning how to trust people. After seeing a vet and being on various medications it was found that Cockatrices’ left eye unfortunately isn’t savable and needs to be removed. The good news is he is now sporting a new haircut from having his mats removed and has started showing us his personality. He adores chin scratches, just melts into you because he can’t get enough. When you pet him down his back he pushes his butt up in the air for more, we call this his elevator butt. Cockatrices has surgery to remove that pesky painful eye on January 31st and is ready for a new beginning!
Update: Cockatrices' surgery went well, but he had multiple infections, including a skin issue which needed to be cleared up. He has just graduated from a special room to isolation, where he will be monitored for a short while before getting the "okay" to move to our adoption area. |
