Cats & Rabbit is a 0 year old Mix-Breed in Old Lyme, CT, who needs $5,000 for Exams, Dental Work, Skin Issues, Blood Work.

Several cats currently in the Old Lyme Animal Control Shelter require medical treatment after being rescued from difficult conditions.

Many of these cats were taken from a property where numerous cats and kittens had been living outside without proper veterinary care. Since arriving at the shelter, they have needed vaccinations, general vetting, and spay/neuter surgeries. Some also require additional medical treatment.

Billie – Approximately 3 years old. She required dental work due to severe dental disease.

Bighead – Initially scheduled for dental treatment, but veterinarians first needed to perform biopsies on lesions on his face due to concerns about possible cancer. Testing showed it is a skin condition that several cats from the same property have. He will now be scheduled for dental treatment.

Clint – Also from the same property as Billie and Bighead. He has the same skin condition and requires dental work. He has become more social and friendly while in shelter care.

Snowball – Needs dental treatment. Additional information will be determined after the next veterinary exam.

Mama Kitty – Found in the woods with her kittens. She has been spayed, and all of her kittens have already been adopted. She is currently losing weight and requires blood work and a mouth exam. Shelter staff are also working to socialize her so she can eventually be adopted.

Bear – Born at the shelter with three siblings. Two of the kittens did not survive, and Bear and his brother both struggled with severe lung issues early in life. Bear pulled through, but he continues to have some ongoing health concerns and now needs dental work. His brother has already been adopted. Bear is extremely sweet and is still waiting for his chance at a permanent home.

Dunkin – A 9-year-old cat who came to the shelter as an owner surrender. Her former housemates have already been adopted. Dunkin is shy but very sweet and enjoys being petted and brushed. Her previous owner did not provide veterinary care, and she now needs dental treatment before she can be adopted into a permanent home.

Donations help cover the cost of veterinary exams, dental procedures, diagnostics, and other medical care needed to prepare these cats for adoption.
