ROBBIN’S NEST may 2022

Hello Again.
 
          May is here, and spring is in full bloom.  Mother nature is showing all her beautiful colors, and thank G-d, the nice weather is finally here.  This is a welcome break for us, and for the strays.  A reminder that this month, we also celebrate Be Kind To Animals week, from May 1st through May7th.  So, remember if you see an animal that needs a helping hand, whether it be food, water or helping to find it a new home, please try to help wherever and whenever you can.  Both you, and the animal (or animals) in question will be glad that you did, and let us extend Be Kind To Animals all through the year.
 
          Now on another note, I would like to tell you about some of the rescues Save Our Strays, and I have been involved in lately.
 
HOLLY –
          Poor Holly lived in a colony by the boat houses.  She was semi-feral, and had a bad infection in two of her teeth.  We were able to get her easily because, due to the infection, she was lethargic and had not been eating.  We took Holly right to the
veterinarian, and she had to stay in the hospital for days.  While she was there, she was given a B12 shot, anti-inflamitory shot and a convenience shot (long-term antibiotic).  She also had two teeth removed.  After all that was done, she was like a new cat.  When we got her back to the boat house, she couldn’t stop eating.  Holly is doing great.  Thank you Save Our Strays.
 
HARLEY –
          Harley was an older Domestic Short Hair cat, who had a really bad Upper Respiratory Infection.  I immediately brought him to the veterinarian, and he had to stay there for awhile, as he needed a lot of medication and fluids, and they had to build up his appetite.  After a few days, I knew that he could not be put back in my colony, so he came to my house.  The worst is over, but he is still sick.  I am going to continue to give him what he needs, and because he is an older cat and quite gentle, I will keep him in my home forever.  Thank G-d for Save Our Strays taking care of the sick cats.
 
SHELDON –
          Sheldon is a gray spotted, male Domestic Short Hair cat, that appeared at one of my feeding spots.  He seemed very comfortable, and the other felines did not bother him at all.  So, it was a no-stress situation.  I took Sheldon to the veterinarian, where he was neutered, given shots etc.  Sheldon appeared to be about 2 years old, and had this laid-back personality, so it was easier me to put him in with my colony.  Sheldon is happy, and I see him every day, unless he is in the shelters that I have for them.
 
Save Our Strays pays for all veterinary medical bills on Robbin’s rescues, and all rescues that we are involved with by all our volunteer rescuers.  We are proud to carry on the mission of our benefactor.
