When Gris came to the Foundation, she was originally an indoor only kitty who was put outside after the owners had a new baby. She was brought into the shelter by the neighbors of the owners because she was drinking a lot of water and appeared to be ill.
She was due to be euthanized by the shelter because she was thought to have a untreatable medical condition. Dr. Ford took her in and diagnosed her with diabetes mellitus. She responded VERY well to the insulin therapy and was doing GREAT, but the hard part was finding a loving home willing an able to give her injections twice daily to continue her life. continue reading…
Heed was just a weeks’ old kitten when he was found separated from his mother and he was brought to SFF by Animal Control. He was fostered back to health by friends of the S Ford Foundation (Chanin and Chris Scheil), then thankfully adopted by the great animal lovers Dave and Jane Ezratty when he was 2 months old. He now shares a house with 5 other cats and their dog Chewie, who thinks she’s a cat. Heed is an active and mischievous boy who spends his days bouncing off the walls and chasing imaginary butterflies. When he finally settles down for a nap, he can be found curled up with his best friends Cedric and Chewie.
Falcor was a 3 month old male puppy who was born with only part of a right front leg. He did fine with the “stump”, until he escaped from his yard and was attacked by two dogs. The attack left him clinging to life with punctured and bruised lungs and a fracture to his “stump.” Due to the severity of the fracture & the fact that he was unable to use his leg anyway, he had an amputation performed and now has 3 legs. Despite all of these terrible injuries, he is still a sweetheart and is recovering well!
