Ringo the kitten: Broken Pelvis :(

I felt that familiar clenching feeling in my stomach when I saw the Urgent List come in from a local shelter.  So many cats, so little time to save them.  Worse yet, we didn't work through all the other help e-mails to this list until 7:48PM, just 12 minutes before the 8:00pm euthanasia deadline.  



Surely, we told ourselves, other rescues and individuals had already stepped up for the cats on this list?  Still, we thought we would just inquire to be sure.  

At exactly 7:59PM, we received the reply: "Hi Theresa,

Ringo and brother have not found rescue. Are you able to rescue these sweethearts?

Thanks!
Tammy"


Our foster homes are very full,  Ringo had a suspected serious medical issue with his back end, we really shouldn't....

But we DID!  Welcome Ringo and Bingo to the Cat Shack!  


Ringo (Orange and White kitten) was having obvious pain and was not able to walk on his hind leg.  He was also having problems going to the bathroom while at the shelter.  Cat Shack vet Perkiomen Animal Hospital performed x-rays on little Ringo and found that his pelvis is broken in 2 places.  Luckily, his pelvis is not crushed and he started to eat and use the litterbox once he started to receive pain meds.  Both he and his cute brother Bingo have colds so they are also receiving eye ointment and antibiotics.  

Please help The Cat Shack, Inc to help kittens like Ringo and Bingo by making a tax deductible contribution to this 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  Ringo and Bingo's care has already topped $300 .  The vet projects that the minimal care for Ringo until he heals will be close to $500.    

Ringo's injuries, thankfully,  should heal and he can look forward to a wonderful life with his brother Bingo.  With only 1 minute to spare in an over crowded shelter he was saved,  thanks to spared plea for help, a commitment by the Cat Shack rescue and wonderful transport volunteers.  Thank you!
