Pearle

Introducing our newest rescue. She’s one of the many cats who comes around during the night. These past few days, I’ve been seeing her on the camera during the day rather than going off with the others at sunrise. And her tummy seemed to be getting bigger by the day! We were able to catch three kittens from a litter before her generation, but we weren’t able to catch the mother, so I’m assuming that Momma Cat got pregnant again, and this one, as well as two others, were born only a few months ago.

Since she was caught, this sweet little girl had been hiding in the back of her little hidey-hut, but on Wednesday when I was cleaning her cage, she ventured out of her little ‘house.’ We scheduled an appointment with the vet for Thursday morning and our plan was, if she’s not pregnant, she will get spayed, recover, and then be released. But our plan, however, was simply not meant to be, as on Thursday morning, we discovered that she had six stillborn preemie babies in the wee hours of the morning. Sadly, they weren’t developed enough to have survived. The vet determined that this little one is only about five months old – just a baby herself. She was vetted and spayed and is doing okay and she does seem to be more at peace than I’ve ever before seen her. I’m sure she must have been quite confused about what was going on, but she’ll never have to worry about going through that again. I have named her, ‘Pearle.’

Pearle will remain at Beauty’s Haven to recover and she will be on medication for a week. Last evening, when I sat with her by her cage, she came over to me and let me rub her little head. And she purred! I so wish I wasn’t allergic to cats! Pearle is also very much enjoying the gifts she received from a wonderful supporter – food and feed dishes!

We would appreciate any commitment from others to help with Pearle’s vet bill, which was $265. We also have at least five more kittens/cats to trap and get fixed. I’m especially concerned about a black and white cat, who I believe, may also be pregnant.

Kitty Cat, Oreo & Allie

Forever in our Hearts

Just prior to Christmas, our beloved Kitty Cat went to Rainbow Bridge. He had sadly, been fighting cancer for quite some time. Although Kitty Cat had a number of surgeries, his quality of life was not what it should have been and we just couldn’t ask anymore of our beautiful boy. We thereby, made the decision that it was time to let him go to a place where he would once again, become young and forever free from pain, a place where he could chase butterflies throughout the verdant fields of heaven with all of his beloved friends who have gone before him.

We loved Kitty Cat so very much and the farm has just not been the same without him.

It has been particularly hard, however, on his best friend, Oreo, who has been quite depressed since Kitty Cat’s passing. We recently, decided that it was time to find a new friend and companion for Oreo to help heal his broken heart. And then, we discovered Allie.

We’ve had way too many losses in 2020 and I hope and pray that 2021 will bring about good things. I don’t know how much more my heart can take before it just shatters into a million pieces.

Allie

Allie arrived at Beauty’s Haven on Wednesday, however Oreo will have to wait just a few more days to meet his new friend. Since Allie presented with signs of respiratory infection, we immediately took her to the vet. The poor girl is missing quite a few teeth in her left jaw and she recently recovered from a terrible case of scabies. She is now on antibiotics and will have to return to the vet in two weeks. Hopefully she will be able to meet Oreo after the visit.

Prior to her rescue, Allie had been living on the streets, trying desperately to survive. As per the vet, she is about four years old.

Please keep Oreo and Allie in your prayers.

Sincerely,
Theresa
