UPDATE: Abbeycats would like to thank everyone who donated to Help Us Help Holly Hill, as well as the two homeopaths who volunteered their services. Holly has now had two appointments with the ophthalmic vet, and we are pleased to report that her eyes are improving! We are also very pleased to announce that Holly Hill has been Adopted! She was adopted along with her brother Casselbury, who has the same genetic eye condition to a lesser degree in one eye only. We know that Holly and Casselbury will be well loved and cared for in their new home. 
Unfortunately, Holly Hill has just been diagnosed with a serious congenital eye disease, which potentially could lead to her having to have both eyes removed. We have been told by the vet who has been treating Holly Hill that most vets would find it unethical to remove both eyes from a young kitten, and would recommend euthanasia. True to our firm position on not euthanizing any animal suffering from a survivable illness, we do not want to take this drastic step. The only hope for Holly Hill is for her to be seen and treated by an ophthalmic veterinarian, which could literally cost us thousands of dollars. We at Abbey Cats believe Holly Hill‘s life is worth saving, as we do for all of the cats in our program.  We appeal to all like-minded pet owners who believe that all life is precious, particularly that of a young kitten, to help us save her sight and her life. No amount is too is too small, and any amount of $15 or over will be eligible for a tax receipt. You can pay on site through PayPal or send a cheque to: P.O. Box 20026 1077 North Service Road #39 Mississauga, ON L4Y 1A6 When sending in your donation, please designate it is for Holly Hill. Regular updates will be posted on our website as we know them. You can donate directly to ACA by PayPal!

 In early May, An ACA volunteer arrived at a local municipal shelter to pick up several litters of kittens that were no longer able to stay at the shelter. Several hours prior, an uncaring owner had literally dumped a small family of kittens in a sealed cardboard box outside a shelter in 30degree weather. Sadly, two of the kittens died of heat exhaustion before they were discovered. Their odyssey did not end there - once inside, it was determined that the kittens were only five weeks old and still nursing from their mother (who was not dumped in the box). Because the shelter staff were not able to handle kittens that were not yet fully weaned from their mother (still needing to be bottle-fed every few hours) the decision was made that they needed to be euthanized. Upon arriving at the shelter for the other kittens, the ACA volunteer was asked if she could also take this family. Seeing them try to press their small faces through the bars of the cage out of hunger and terror, and the volunteer decided that she could not leave them behind to die. With literally only 45 minutes to spare before they were set to be euthanized they joined twelve other little ones as part of a 16-kitten rescue. Since arriving in foster care, these stunning kittens have thrived on the attention and good food provided to them by their foster mommy, who literally woke every four hours around the clock to bottle feed them special formula from a tiny bottle. They are happy & healthy, and super-social with true "puppy-dog" personalities following you everywhere and asking to be picked up. They were name after dances because this little family is high-energy and tons of fun! Like all kittens, they enjoy sleeping & chasing things that make noise. |
"The American Idol" Family was rescued form a municipal animal shelter as part of a large 16-kitten transport recently undertaken by Abbey Cats. Although quiet in their demeanour, these little people guys are very social and love to be held close, simply grateful to be away from the scary lights and noises of the shelter environment. They were found in an industrial park north of Toronto where they were dumped in the night and found the next morning very cold and hungry by a construction worker who turned them over to animal control, eventually ending them up in a temporary foster home while awaiting their permanent homes.
Preference will be given to adopter's who are willing to take two kittens together for company or who already have a cat at home for companionship. |
 Kitten season is upon us once again, and we are urgently in need of foster homes. The shelters are overflowing with mothers with kittens, and orphan kittens. Having room for only so many, the shelters will have no other choice but to euthanize those they have no room for. Won't you help us save these little lives by fostering them for us? We need as many foster homes and permanent homes as possible, in order to save as many as we can. For anyone who is unable to foster or adopt, we are also in need of donations for KMR (kitten milk replacer) Keep up to date with Abbeycats news and events!
