Our volunteer Laura W. from Helena picked up three cats for us at our vet clinic and brought them out to the ranch on Saturday. From left, that’s Popeye the blind cat from Lebanon, who had surgery to remove an eye after blowing a hole in his cornea. The eye socket became infected, the sutures fell apart, and he required follow-up surgery and a lengthy stay at the clinic. He’s already back to being a scamp in the cat house.
In the middle is deaf Snowball, who we now know has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. After three weeks in the hospital, he came back to the ranch a different, healthier, happier boy! I have to give him a twice-daily injection of Lasix and a heart pill each evening to continue managing his heart problem.
And on the right is our newest arrival, a three-legged cat — yes, another three-legged cat! — named Molly. Molly is missing her right rear leg, unlike Bunny and Honey Girl, who are missing their left front legs. Molly is a tabby who originally belonged to a college student in Bozeman. This student gave her to another college student, who in turn gave Molly to her parents in Helena to keep. Molly was getting beaten up by the family’s other cats, and the family didn’t want to take her to a shelter, so they called us instead.
Laura is one of our longest-serving volunteers with four years of providing wonderful service to our animals .. every season of the year, no matter what the weather! Thank you, Laura!
