SPECIAL CASE

MIRA

This girl is Mira and we rescued her from a hoarding house that the ASPCA cleared out. There was a total of 67 kitties there and all of them had to be euthanized except for 13 cats. Mira happened to be one of the 13 kitties that we were able to save. WHARF took in 7 pregnant cats and one mom with a baby. All of these kitties were still severely sick and a few of them ended up breaking with Parvo. Mira had 6 kittens and then with the stress and sickness all her kittens passed and Mira ended up spending 5 days in intensive care at Crestwood Vet Clinic in the ISO room. Mira stopped eating and had a fever and her immune system was almost completely gone. After a few days of IV fluids, broad spectrum antibiotics and hand feeding Mira pulled through and is now back in foster care being taken care of. She is almost all better but she still has to be quarantined for 6 weeks while her sickness leaves her body. We are asking for help for this girl as she spent a fair amount of time at the vet clinic. If you would like to help towards her vet bills please contact Crestwood Vet clinic at 780.444.7550 or donate on our Paypal account.

SPECIAL CASE

ALBINA

This girl is Albina and we rescued her from a hoarding house that the ASPCA cleared out. There was a total of 67 kitties there and all of them had to be euthanized except for 13 cats. Albina happened to be one of the 13 kitties that we were able to save. WHARF took in 7 pregnant cats and one mom with a baby. All of these kitties were still severely sick and a few of them ended up breaking with Parvo. Albina had 3 beautiful babies but then her sickness was not getting better so we had to pull her babies and put them on another mom that came into care with her. Her body was jsut not able to produce the milk and fight the sickness off at the same time. She ended up spending 6 days at the Crestwood Vet Clinic in the ISO room under intensive care, she had to be on IV fluids, antibiotics and also had to be hand fed. After a few days she started to turn around and is now back in foster care where she is getting lots of food, snuggles and playtime. She is almost all better but she still has to be quarantined for 6 weeks while her sickness leaves her body. We are asking for help for this girl as she spent a fair amount of time at the vet clinic.

SPECIAL CASE

GATOR

My name is Gator and I am one special little guy. I came into care last August with a mom and 6 kittens and 6 adopted kittens. I was always kinda the smallest boy out of the 12 kittens but the most strongest little one. After a few weeks my mom was noticing that all my siblings were growing and growing but I was staying the same size. She just thought I was the runt until I was about 6 weeks old then I was taken to the vet clinic because she was worried about my size. They ran a whole bunch of tests and then a whole bunch more tests but they couldn't find anything wrong with me except for the fact I that I wasn't growing. I was then diagnosed with Pituitary Dwarfism, which means that I am a dwarf kitten. I am about 8 months old and only weigh about 2 lbs. I am fully grown so I am the size of an 8 week old kitten. When I was about 16 weeks old I got Parvo which is a very bad disease and most kitties don't live through it but I was such a trooper and had a veyr strong will to live that I recovered very well. I was in and out of the vet clinic for a few months because my immune system is a lot weaker than a normal kitties but everytime I made it and got better. There is a chance that my life span will be shorter and that I may have health problems later on in life but I am so worth it. I have the best most outgoing personality. I have now been moved to permanent care as my health hasn't been the best but if you could please contribute towards all my vet costs please contact WHARF, donate below, or contact Crestwood Vet Clinic at 780.444.7550. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about me.

SPECIAL CASE

NIKO

This is Niko and we have had this boy in care for almost 3 years, he is an amazing boy and he just had to recieve a dental that required all of his teeth to be removed. Poor Niko kept getting abscesses in his mouth and his gums just bled everytime he tried to eat. He had a disease called feline stomatitis which is where his body rejects his teeth. Now that all his teeth are taken out he is feeling much happier even with a mouth full of stitches. He is now in recovery, pain free and resting. If you would like to contribute towards Niko's visit at the vet please donate above or mail into WHARF at 10724 124st, Edmonton AB, T5M 0H1. Thanks for reading about me!

SPECIAL CASE

STITCH

This boy is Stitch and he was rescued off the reserve where someone picked him up as he was very badly wounded. Stitch had a huge open wound on his side that was severely infected and he was in so much pain. At first it looked as though he had been shot but after a vet visit they realized he had been attacked by another animal, most likely a dog. He had to go in for multiple drainings, cleanings and stitches. It was a very bad wound and took many days to help rid the infection of this poor boy. The infection had spread so bad that he was not eating good, he was cold and he was very lethargic. The vets at Mayerthorpe Vet Clinic did an amazing job with this boy and he is now in the recovering stages back in his foster home. His personality is finally starting to come out as he is getting better and he is almost ready to start playing again. If you would like to help out with this boy please contact the Mayerthorpe Vet Clinic at 780.786.2000 or you can donate to our paypal account. Thank you so much!

NIKO

I was the very first Mexican kitty to come up to WHARF and I came into care when I was jsut 10 weeks old. I love snuggles and I love other kitties. I am a really amazing boy if someone would just come and meet me. If you are looking for a gorgeous boy please adopt me, I want to find my forever home this year!!
