A Desperate Plea for YOUR Help

STAF has graciously agreed to care for 7 of the Sickest Foreclosure Cats:

"We at STAF (Save The Animals Foundation) have taken in a few of these little guys. Each of them has treatable health problems due to neglect and malnutrition. Even if the cats that remain escape the house
before it is torn down, they will suffer. They have rotting or no teeth, mouth infections, parasitic infections, eye problems and limited sight, and one of ours even has a very painful vaginal infection. Can you imagine living like that with no hope of relief and care? The worst part is that ALL of this was preventable!

Fortunately, we haven't found anything in the cats that isn't easily treatable. Even our beautiful little blind girl, Mae, who has only 1 tooth left, happily chomps (well, gums) away on her food and is plumping up nicely! Topaz, our baby who had a bleeding eye and a hole in her face is unbelievably happy now. Her wounds are healing and you can hear her purr from across the room. What a wonderful thank you!

Please, if you can foster even one, it will make a difference and relieve the needless suffering of an animal. Of the ones we took, all are handle-able, but didn't appear that way until a day or two after we had them. The one that isn't yet ready to be handled is the one in pain from the infection. She doesn't lunge or bite - she's just terrified and probably doesn't remember life without pain........


Also, if you can't manage foster care, but may be able to provide a loving home for one of the cats after they're restored to health, that would be wonderful too! I'm sure all of the organizations who have helped would appreciate that, and it will allow them to continue their rescue work when it's needed.

Please... just one really will help to relieve suffering."

Thank you.
