Our home will be bulldozed down to the ground soon, even if we're still there!
I was just reading on Best Friends website about these poor cats. I went to the website : http://www.ageerescue.org/
and my heart is breaking. I saw the cats they rescued and I felt so bad for these 2 babies.
"Goldilocks" came to us recently via a local cat "hoarder" having the worst abcess our vet had ever seen! Her ear was swollen completely shut! She has had a recent, extensive surgery and is projected to make a full, unnoticeable recovery. Here she is seen with a bandage covering her right ear. It will be removed in about one week. She is a mature tortoise shell cat, fully grown and medium in size. She has an absolutely lovely personality and should fit in with just about anyone who can give her the TLC she deserves.
Here "Goldilocks" is before her surgery. You can see that our vet had her hands full, repairing the ear. Our hearts go out to her, but with a full recovery in her future, things are definitely looking up for her! Your help could do so much for her.
and you'll have to look at this one too: I'd love to adopt her if I lived closer.
"Thumbellina" and her "sister", Mini Pearl are two of the saddest rescues we've ever done. They came to us in dire need of medical attention, to say the very least! Thumbellina is only about 3 lbs!!!! and she is FULLY GROWN! A victim of severe malnutrition, her growth is permanently stunted. She will be perfect for anyone wanting a kitten forever, literally. She has a severe condition in her right eye, which is being treated by our vet, Dr. Lorraine Sellers! She couldn't be in better hands! If you want to make a difference in your life, this has to get you thinking! She is absolutely, 100%, no baloney, loveable and appreciative of anything she gets. W.O.W. This picture was taken when she first came in. Notice her right eye, scruffy fur and "rat-like" tail. Here, she looks like she's on "death's door". Below, you can see her recent improvement.
"Thumbellina gets better"- (below)
Here, you can see "Thumbellina" after she has received some major veterinary and nursing care. As you can see from these pictures, taken three weeks apart, she is greatly improved. Her right eye is much better, along with her fur, tail and ears. She will be receiving an eye surgery soon, which should leave her right eye in perfect condition. She is a good example of just how costly it can be to save a "little one's" life, as she has needed a lot of care and money! Again, she is a "Dwarf or Miniature" cat, since she was probably malnourished when she was young. We have a couple more cats her size etc. we got from a hoarder. One of them, "Harvest" is so kitten-like that we put her on our web page under "Kittens for Adoption"-- see that page for her.
Here is a little more information but I urge you all to check out the site and donate for these little ones and the ones they have yet to get. I donated. I wish I could adopt but I'm too far away.
Buried alive?

Three weeks to go...
By Christy Crabtree
With only three weeks left to save these animals before the bulldozers move in and stamp out their lives, Cindy Minghelli and Agee Memorial Wildlife Fund are working tirelessly to rescue the remaining cats.
So far Cindy and her group have been able to round up 33 however last week more babies were found from several litters indicating more still remain on the property. Not only does this mean they have more cats to get out in the short time left but the wildlife group is also in desperate need of funding. This is to help care for these innocent animals while they get them either adopted out or situated at the sanctuary that they are building on their property for those too wild to be put up for adoption.
The situation is dire for these animals and Cindy are group need anyone who can either help get the cats out or donate funds to assist with their care. These precious lives are depending on it.
