So much money needed. We currently have three animals needing specialised operations, and we all know specialised comes with big dollars. Introducing three of our beautiful babies.
Lucky is our 6 month old kitten needing a life saving operation to remove a nasty polyp growing in his ear which has spread to his throat making breathing difficult. Without the operation Luckys breathing will only get more and more difficult to the point he will need oxygen assistance and then death. Therefore if he does not have his operation he would have to be euthanised to prevent suffering. I will do everything, everything to prevent his little life being snuffed out, as he has so much life to experience. He has a new family out there just waiting to meet him, cozy warm house to rule over, humans to lavish his love and commands on, twigs, bugs and toys waiting for him to play with. 💕
Bassett is a 1.5 year old girl who came to Folley Farm Animal Sanctuary when she was 8 months old. She was born on the streets and lived a rough life, but this lovely girl is now needing an expensive operation (est $7k) to fix both her back knee joints.
Most of the time in cats, though very rare and more likely seen in small dogs the patella luxates dislocates because the trochlear groove is too shallow, and the direction of luxation is towards the inside of the leg, which is called medial luxation. ... In some cases, patellar luxation may occur because of trauma to the bones or muscles of the hind leg. It is not known exactly what the cause is, it could simply be bad genes (simple bad luck) but we do know that when her knee pops it is extremely painful for her and she can’t walk with out experiencing severe pain so Bassett has to be fixed so she can live a long and happy life.
Lola is one of Folley Farms permanent residence. She is aprox 5 years old and has the same problem as Bassett with her hind leg knee joints. The operation could reach $10k but without it her legs will deteriorate and pain will become an issue.
So Folley Farm has a lot of money to raise to give these three beautiful souls a chance to live pain free, long happy lives. And most importantly find them their forever homes. 💕
Please consider donating to our animals, your money goes 💯% towards their care!
It’s not fair that so many animals suffer in our community at no fault of their own. It’s very sad when their suffering has become invisible to so many people or that they are not recognised by many as sentimental beings and are often ignored, driven past, dumped like garbage or subjected to unspeakable tortures.
We also know there are many caring, beautiful people out there that may not be able to take in an animal in need or have the facility, time or finances to care for these animals but you can still help by supporting your local rescues or Animal Sanctuary’s either by donating items , dollars, a day cleaning or socialising with the animals it all helps to keep the wheels turning, to keep these organisations operating as without them is a grime prospect for the animals.
