A volunteer found 2 little kittens covered in fleas and motor oil, they were about 3 months old.  Motor oil is an old home remedy to treat mange.  The female kitten had significant hair loss so we are guessing they thought the hair loss was from mange.  They were cleaned up, fed and taken care of. 

 

The little girl had a horrible case of ringworm.  About 3 days later she started to go down hill quickly losing her appetite and energy.  She was taken to one of our vet offices, where she stayed for a whole week with around the clock care. We had a lot of hope for a little girl with the same name.  Hope was very fragile.  We could not exactly put our finger on what was wrong with her other than being covered in ringworm and her feeling sickly.  The pictures you see here are not what Hope looked like when the fungus took over.  She could not even open her eyes; we think it might have burned to do so.  She would cry, eat a little and go back to sleep.  Each of her little feet looked like elephant skin, gray and wrinkled. On Monday morning, August 30th, she was taken back to the vet office to have them care for her during business hours.  Shortly there after, she had two heart attacks and passed on to the Rainbow Bridge .  She was subsequently at peace, no more suffering. 

 

There are not enough homes, money and awareness to take care of all the pets in our world today.  Please spay and neuter your pets AND facilitate in getting another pet in need spayed and neutered. (There are many resources out there, just ask us.)  Hope will live in our hearts forever but she did not need to go through this in her very short life.
