URGENT: Foster Home Needed for Four Friendly Kittens!

CCLAS is looking for a short-term foster for this litter of four older kittens (approximately 12-14 weeks old). These guys are very friendly, but they are sneezing and have goopy eyes! They will need to be on antibiotics for 10 to 14 days before they can be spayed/neutered and put up for adoption. Must be kept isolated from any household pets.

We are hoping to get them into a home before the 4th of July Holiday on Friday! Please contact us at cclaspets@gmail.com if you can help.

Foster home needed for littermates ASAP

CCLAS is desperately looking for a foster who can help nurse Thelma & Louise back to good heath. Both have fatty liver disease, from being abandon on the streets of Lakewood too long. CCLAS will cover their medical cost - daily duties include force feeding in a quiet comfortable environment. Currently they are living in a board member's small bathroom. Can you help? Leave a message below or email CCLASpets@gmail.com.

Prays for littermates Thelma & Louise

Sadly our favorite sisters, Thelma & Louise, are gravely ill.

Just a few days after their adoption, the new family felt something was very wrong with the girls when they stopped eating. Fortunately the new owners reached out to CCLAS, although we were stumped at first by their persistent symptoms, we sought the expertise of the vets at the Lakewood Animal Hospital. The girls were both admitted yesterday, suffering from Fatty Liver Disease, after starving from being abandoned on the streets too long. While their prognosis does not look good, please keep the sisters in your thoughts and prays, and CCLAS, with the Lakewood Animal Hospital, will do our best to help them.
