Saved! Urgent! Only has till 9am Tues! Hind leg ataxia

Post by MissWhiskers »

***LAST CALL - MEDICAL PLEA!!! This cat can be euthanized by vet services at any time without further warning, even before the rescue deadline! MUST have a commitment by 9AM Tuesday 1/10. If you can help, send an email immediately to RescuePets@HillsboroughCounty.org.

8 month old Female

Email from the shelter:

This is a juvenile medium haired cat with hind limb ataxia of unknown etiology. She is FeLV/FIV negative. We suspect that the underlying problem is trauma, but radiographs are generally unremarkable. She may improve in time, worsen, or stay the same. Prognosis is unknown. We will spay with a rescue commitment. Needs rescue commitment by 9 a.m. on Tuesday, 01/10.

HOW TO SAVE: If you can responsibly adopt, adopt-to-rehome, or are a current rescue partner, you MUST email RescuePets@HillsboroughCounty.org BEFORE 9AM with the words DO NOT EUTH and the Animal ID# in the subject line (serious commitments only). Email MUST include your name, contact information, and what time you can pick up the cat tomorrow. DO NOT email unless you are personally picking up the cat! The shelter will not hold cats for out of state adopters, so don't email and ask. MUST BE PICKED UP TOMORROW IF READY!! Please also send a copy of your email to UrgentCatsofTampaBay@gmail.com so we know who is still in danger.

I actually got it from one of those pages. I'm trying to get the status - though sometimes I'm so afraid to find out....
But for future reference, is there a page or two that you could recommend?


Thanks,
Karen
