MARIE

MEET MARIE


We rescued Marie from a kennel situation where she had been born and living with her mom and littermates for a few months.  We took this litter because they were living in a cage.  At first we were going to the kennel and pulling the litter, taking them to adoptions and then after adoptions bringing them back.  It got to the point where we just could not take them back to live in that cage for seven days a week minus the six hours we had them for adoptions, where we had them yet in another cage.

Marie is between 9 to 10 months old.  She is a very petite girl.  She has a heart problem that we hope can be corrected with either surgery or medication but we need to have an ultrasound done on her heart as soon as possible.  Ultrasounds are approximately $400 for starters and we will need to go to a specialist to have this done.

If you could spare even a dollar, it will help us raise money to get her in as soon as possible.  Marie is such a sweetheart that we cannot bear the thought of losing her. 

Here is a link for Paypal if you would like to make a donation toward her ultrasound.

TIMMY'S STORY

I rescued Timmy when he was a baby, with his two brothers.  I heard them crying and I found them between two brick walls in a back yard, the width between the two was about a foot, and I somehow, head first and feet in the air, reached down and pulled all three out.  Timmy's right eye was enlarged, very damaged.  He was in alot of pain and the eye started to protrude out of the socket in a matter of days.  I took him in and had his eye removed.  He learned at a very young age to live without one eye and I don't think he even knows it is missing.  He is a very well adjusted boy.

He was adopted out a few months later.  He was then returned due to the fact that his adopter had to move and could not take the two kittens he adopted with him.  Timmy went back up for adoption, he was then adopted out and remained in the same home for ten years.  This past summer his owner contacted Lifeline For Pets, the rescue group I was with when he was adopted out, therefore he was on a Lifeline contract, which like us, has a lifetime return clause in it. They said they were having problems with him and they had taken him to a couple of vets and they could not diagnose his problem, but he had started peeing outside of the box.  I was contacted from Lifeline, due to the fact he was my rescue and I called the owner and she told me that he was "compromising their quality of life" therefore she and her husband wanted to return him and if I would not take him, they were going to have him put down.  I immediately made arrangements to pick him up.  I do give them credit for at least giving us the option to take him back and giving him a second chance.

Since I have had Timmy back, we found out the issue was that he has a kidney stone, my vet diagnosed this immediately from the xrays that were taken.  Timmy is a blessing, he is a doll, what a shame that the adopters could have him for ten years and so easily dispose of him when it gets difficult.  As I type this, Timmy is right next to me purring up a storm, he must know I am writing about him!  

I decided to submit Timmy for the Bissell contest, he is a beautiful cat and I felt in his honor, he should be recognized for his precious little life.

Please, if you could take a few minutes and vote for Timmy, we have a good chance of winning, the contest started on Feb. 19 and Timmy is number 8 right now out of over 5,000 entrants, we need about 250 more votes to be safe to win this round.  He is in round 7 of 12 rounds.  The winner of each round will be in the running to win and be on a Bissell product box. First place winner gets $10,000 for their charity, second place winner gets $5,000 for their charity and third place winner gets $1,000 for their charity. 

We continue to strive to find new ways to fundraise for our rescues, because without public support we cannot do what we do and this contest is a way for you to help us if you would like and it only takes a few minutes to do!

Please help us out and vote for Timmy and please forward this email to your animal loving friends and family!

Sincerely,

Georgyne La Lone
