Time is running out for Satin and Lightning

A few weeks ago, we were asked to help three horses whose owner, due to health issues, could no longer care for them. At the time we had a number of pending adoptions that we believed would soon be moving forward, but these adoptions have been postponed for a few months, possibly until September. Since these horses needed immediate help, we opted to care for them in place until we could bring them to the rescue. A few days later, however, one of the horses colicked and the vet recommended we bring her here to ensure she received everything she needed. That was Spring and she is doing well.

Due to unforeseen circumstances it now appears that we will have to bring the two remaining horses to Beauty’s Haven as soon as possible. I’m not sure where we will put them, but one thing is certain, we cannot leave them behind.

We are thereby reaching out to you in hope that we can procure sponsors to help us help these sweet horses.

If you would like to help, you can do so by making a one-time tax deductible donation, or sign up to make an automatic monthly recurring donation via our secure form which you may cancel at anytime. You also have the option of making your donation in honor or in memory of someone.

HAY, it’s me… CaryLou!

CaryLou here sharing one of Mommy Theresa’s favorite photos of me when I was just a little baby. She wants me to stay out of trouble while she is busy taking care of everyone here at the farm, so she asked if I could help with this week’s hay run. I said,’Yes!’

We need to raise $635 for one ton of Orchard Hay so if anyone could help, it would make me and all my horsey friends so very happy!

Feeling so very grateful!

It’s been many days since I’ve had a chance to share the daily happenings at Beauty’s Haven, but we’re still here and as always, extremely busy!

A few days ago Dr. D’Agosto (aka Elisabeth – a volunteer from years ago – so proud of her accomplishments!) came back to work on a number of our horses and implant some microchips. We are so very grateful to Elisabeth as well as to our wonderful village of supporters who have made our wish for a new Microchip Scanner & Chips a reality!

Ruby received a wonderful grooming and acupuncture treatment by Dr. Elisabeth. Later in the day Dr. Mangan examined Ruby’s eyes as she’s been having issues with her left eye – a flare-up of chronic uveitis and her cataract has worsened a bit. Warrior was also having eye issues so he was examined by Dr. Mangan as well, and is now also receiving some meds. We are so appreciative of Dr. Mangan!

Tilly and Peggy Sue just love the grass. Tilly has COPD – some days can be quite the challenge for her. She also has a rather large hernia on her side which doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable. She’s a really sweet and happy little mare.

Peggy Sue can’t bend her back leg because many years ago, when her humans “helped” her deliver her baby, they shattered her pelvis in multiple places. Thankfully she gets around pretty well. She’s a happy little mare, too.

Thanks to you, our amazing supporters, we’ve been able to help many with special needs. They are all so very precious.

Congratulations!

Lastly, thank you to everyone who participated in our second Betsy Rose Birthday Fundraiser. Congratulations to Pamela H. for being the lucky recipient of this very special collection of Betsy Rose themed items!

Wishing everyone a wonderful week. Stay Safe!

Sincerely,
Theresa

Zoie’s Happy “Tail!”

This little kitten became an orphan at just two weeks old when her mom was hit by a car while carrying her sister across the road during a thunderstorm. A caring human found this very frightened, hungry and flea infested baby huddled nearby and brought her to Beauty’s Haven where she was lovingly cared for. We named her Zoie.

The next day, we took Zoie to the vet for an exam and bloodwork and thankfully, she was just fine. Only a few days later, we received a call from a long time friend and supporter who was looking for a kitten to adopt! It was a match made in Heaven!

I’m happy to report that Zoie is now all settled in her new home and is doing great! She has a big sister (cat) and a human who loves her to pieces.

Zoie’s vetting is all taken care of (vaccines, microchip, spaying, etc.) thanks to our wonderful village of supporters who have helped us help this precious baby girl. Thank you all! And thank you, Lynda, for opening your heart and home to Zoie.

Please enjoy this heartwarming video featuring our precious kitten, Zoie, who never gave up!

Room for One More – Meet Zoie the Tortie

Did you know I’m a baby Tortie kitten that lives at the rescue now?

Yesterday there was lots of rain and thunder and lightning. Me, my sister, and my mommy were soaking wet and us kittens were cold. Mommy told us she had found a safe, dry place for us to go to but that she needed to carry us, one by one, across a road to get there. She nuzzled me and told me to stay put while she carried my sister across first and then she would be back to get me. It was raining sooooo hard.

I was a good girl and I waited and waited. I heard something – I thought it was mommy coming back but it was a human! He was holding my mommy – she looked like she was sleeping. He put her under a tree near me and he walked away.

I called for her but she didn’t answer so I crawled over and snuggled against her but she didn’t snuggle back. I didn’t hear a beating noise like I hear when we snuggle and that worried me. The man came back with my sister and did you know she looked like she was sleeping too? He laid her by my mommy and went away again. I cried for them but they didn’t answer and they looked different, something was wrong. The man came back, put something over them, and then picked me up and took me away and I just didn’t understand what was happening.

The next thing I knew, after a short time, the man gave me to a lady. He told her that my mommy and sister had been hit by a car and that I needed help.

I’m not sure what that meant but I didn’t think it was a good thing. The lady held me close and I heard a beating noise like I would hear when I snuggled with my mommy! The lady kissed me on my nose and told me I’d be ok and took me in a house and put me in a nice dry bed. She gave me milk – it wasn’t as good as my mommy’s but I was hungry. She also gave me a new friend named Snuggles – I like that name – it makes me think of my mommy and sister.

I heard someone say, “Uh oh, Mommy Theresa has a new baby!”

Did you know that for the first time in my life I went to bed without my mommy and sister last night? I thought about them a lot but I slept almost all night long. I did have my new friend, Snuggles, and I like her. She’s soft and cuddly and, sometimes when she’s near, I hear a beating noise like I heard when I’d snuggle with my mommy. I woke up this morning hungry and drank more milk. I think we are going on what mommy Theresa called an “adventure” to a vet’s office. I don’t know what that is but I’ll report back!

Oh, did you know that I have a name now? It’s Zoie!

Rescued: Orphan Kitten

I have some very sad news to share. I was alerted by a neighbor earlier this evening, that a feral Mama cat, together with one of her babies, was tragically hit by a car and sadly, both did not survive. The neighbor informed me that another kitten was found near her deceased Mama and sibling and asked if I could please come and get the baby. Once the baby was settled in, Bob and I returned to the place where she was found to make certain that no other kittens were left behind. After searching for nearly an hour, no additional kittens were found.

Baby appears to be a Tortie, and if so, she most undoubtedly is a female. She is snuggling in her cozy new blankets as we speak, and thanks to Bob who made a quick run to the store, she is all set with her milk replacer. I will be taking her to the vet in the morning for a complete examination and tests, so if anyone would like to make a pledge to assist with the baby’s forthcoming veterinary fees, we would be forever grateful. If you would prefer to make a donation at this time, you may do so by clicking on the ‘Donate’ button below.

Spring has been Sprung!

Miracles do happen at Beauty’s Haven!

Remember Spring, the mare who was brought to the rescue a few weeks ago? Watch the wonderful video above that was recorded just two weeks following Spring’s arrival at Beauty’s Haven. Since Spring’s quarantine period has ended, she was able to go out and make new friends. She has gained weight and is feeling good!!

Many thanks to our friends & supporters who have helped us, help Spring!
