BOO BOO NEEDS $500 - $700 SURGERY… but my vet bill is already over $3,000.00…

Dear Friends, On the 15th February, I received a distressed e-mail from a kind landlord. Like so many other e-mails, it began, “Hello Linda… I urgently need your help”. Samuel’s tenants had fled the country, leaving him out of pocket. They had also left their beautiful pets abandoned in the Auckland inner city apartment...

Coco Update

I have been visiting Coco every second day and she is doing extremely well. She had a slight fever for one day and wasn’t as affectionate as usual, but that normalized overnight…so she is back to her smoochy little self again.

Today she is incredibly talkative – no-one can go past her without her engaging them in conversation…

Coco is doing well

This morning I went to visit Coco before she went in for her surgery. She welcomed me like a long lost friend with her little paws kneading her blanket, purring deliriously and giving me exuberant and affectionate head bunts. It was as though she knew that help was on its way.

I waited nervously for the vet to contact me. When he did, Kevin said that the slightly angled bone fracture between her knee...

Coco

WE NEED TO RAISE $800 TO KEEP COCO ALIVE…please!

The lovely, talkative, blue-eyed Himalayan Persian Seal Point cat pictured was taken to a vet clinic for euthanasia just before the weekend. She has a severely broken leg.

Because she is otherwise in good health, is full of purrs and affection and is less than two years old, the clinic contacted me to see if, between us, we can save her life. Her caregivers gave permission for Animal Re-homing to try to raise funds...

IT IS FINALLY “THE TIME OF THE PIG” IN NEW ZEALAND

“In May (2009) the nation was shocked and disgusted to see the condition in which pigs are farmed in crates and sow stalls. What was revealed sickened all who saw it, and that this practice, which totally contravenes the Animal Welfare Act, is 'legal' because the 'code of welfare for pigs' allows it, makes a mockery of animal welfare…”

OUR BEAUTIFUL SOPHIE

Our holiday was not without animal involvement and the extreme heartbreak that so often comes when one is unwilling to ignore a creature in need.

Although we found the East Cape to be one of the most picturesque and unspoiled areas in the country, the animal cruelty, suffering, abuse and neglect in that region made it a hostile environment for those with compassionate lifestyles...
