Playful Pat!

UPDATE ON PATRICK from his foster: "Patrick is very happy to be home; he is very affectionate, talkative and active. He’s eating and drinking well and being cooperative with taking his meds and with his wound care. His hip wound is still draining, but it is clean and within the normal range that Dr. Koneig described. However, he wants held all the time and will get upset when I even leave the apartment for a few minutes."

Below are a few photos of Patrick playing with cat toys.

A St. Patrick's Day update about our Pat!

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Here’s an update about our Patty from his foster mom:

"It's been very touch and go; he has been very uncomfortable, other than keeping the lights off and the place quiet, there's not much I can do to that soothes him. He’s not sleeping well, so neither am I. His temperament has been really affected, but considering all the trauma he has endured in a short amount of time, it is to be expected. He'll eat a little bit of wet just twice a day. Sometimes he hops, sometimes he scoots, but mostly he cries for me to pick him up & take him to his food, litter box or basket. He reluctantly lets me change his dressings."

As of Monday morning, we readmitted Patrick back to LAH for wound care. He had pulled the stitches from his tail and we were concerned about an infection. He's expected to stay there for at least a few days.

Thank you for those who inquired about adopting Patrick. We have a few names on the list, but right now, we're focused on Patrick's recovery and hope to start the adoption review process in a month or so. We need time to assess what Patrick's personality will be like post-op, in order to match him to the appropriate home. When he's ready, we'll send out our CCLAS adoption inquiry forms to the interested adopters. (BTW, he lost one back leg, not both.)

Piper's home!

We're happy to share the news that Piper is back at home! Her human borrowed a humane trap from one of our volunteers, and a week later, she found Piper in the trap. Piper is thinner from her two week adventure outside, but otherwise looks good. Thanks for all of the shares and well-wishes.

Prays for Patrick and Piper

Thank you for everyone's concern for Patrick, our frostbitten tabby, and Piper, the lost torti.

Patrick went to the Lakewood Animal Hospital on Monday night for a follow up visit. LAH ran a blood chemistry panel to look for any underlining issues and most of his results came back normal, he's just slightly anemic. Patrick appears to be about two to three years old and has a long life ahead of him. He's enjoying all of the donations of towel, soft blankets and food. The foster could still use donations of used sheets, soft bath towels and washcloths. These donations can be left at the Lakewood Animal Hospital for Patrick.

Unfortunately it appears that Patrick will need to have surgery later this month. We'll fill you in on his prognosis soon.

Patrick looks for comfort and kisses from his foster.

LOST CAT: Sadly Piper is still missing. Her owner is setting up a humane trap outside and hopes that Piper is still close to home. She's an indoor only tortoiseshell female. It's still very cold outside -so let's help find Piper!

Piper, lost cat in Lakewood, last seen Feb 23.

She lives near Clifton Blvd and Hall Ave. and was last seen Sunday, Feb 23. She was not wearing a collar, but is spayed with current shots. She's almost 8 months, a sweetheart and probably very scared! She's comfortable around people and may be lured with food (especially wet or human food). Her human and feline family miss her very much.

Contact the shelter or us, if you see Piper or if she's near your property - we have the owner's information. #1lkwd #lostcat

Donations for Patrick. Thank you!

Sorry for the delayed update on Patrick, he has had his ups and downs over the past few days with his comfort level, eating interest and litter box usage. He’s going back to the vet on Monday for a scheduled follow up visit, so we should have more information to share soon.

The foster was ecstatic by the donations left for Patrick at the Lakewood Animal Hospital and Lakewood Animal Shelter. The staff at hospital and shelter are overwhelmed by the support from the community for Patrick too - so thank you all! Patrick now has plenty of cans of Fancy Feast and soft fleece blankets, per his request. Meow!

at the Lakewood Animal Hospital on Saturday, March 1st)

HELP find Spencer

Spencer is a older fluffy, black, male cat with white on his chest, chin, tummy and toes. 16 years old. Long fluffy tail and a low-pitched meow. He is friendly and responds to his name but may be shy w/ strangers. Front de-clawed but may use the back ones if picked up. He slipped out Saturday night (May 15th) when his owner was packing up the car. Not his usual behavior. They have been out looking everyday for him but no luck yet...... Posters are up in the neighborhood w/ his picture.

He lives on Atkins in Lakewood. Near I-90, McKinley, Hilliard. Call anytime if found or seen. 419-957-3470

Lost Kitty

LOST: Small female cat/kitten, NOT spayed, is missing from the Winterhurst neighborhood of Lakewood. She is small, being only 9 months old. Her legs are longer. She has very pretty tabby stripe markings on her back, and a white chest.

The cat's name is Kiwi but she responds better to "Baby Kitty". They live right on the corner of Lanning and Mars, but she escaped out the back way, so it is more possible she is around the block on Arthur. Contact the Lakewood Animal Shelter if you spot her.

Lost Cat in Lakewood

We received an email from a gentleman who's cat escaped from it's pet sitter's home in Lakewood last night. The cat has been spotted in the area of Onondaga and Madison. The pet sitter and neighbors have set up a Have-A-Heart trap in the pet sitter's backyard hoping food will attract the kitty and she will get trapped. If you have any suggestion, please submit a comment. If you're in the area, look for her please. Her owner is out of state for work and very concerned!



Thank you!
