May 2022 Newsletter

Greetings Yogie Fans!

May is here, and boy do we have a lot to share.

We want to thank those of you who supported our Spring bake sale. So much had gone wrong prior and our fans came through like troopers.

Also, thank you to those who supported us through Give for Good. This is the 24 hours, online, giving program that happens the first Tuesday in May. We could not do this without you.

MIRACLE’S MEMORY: The tee shirt fundraiser, Miracle’s Memory: The Fight Against FIP, is complete. Thank you to those who bought shirts. They are supposed to arrive to you around May 16th.

MEDICAL ISSUES: The previous few weeks have been rough. Just when we get slightly ahead, we get slammed. When you have sixty-nine cats in the sanctuary, it is bound to happen. It just hurts financially, but more so to see the cats that have illness, or injury.

MIRACLE: As many of you already know, Miracle lost her battle with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) on March 31st. She was just so little, and the needles for her injections we so big. It was a painful process that seemed to be working for her, but on March 31st she gained eight ounces of abdominal fluid, and that should not happen. Especially since she had already had twenty-two injections. We had seen promise, but Miracle just had so much damage to her intestines, and she was just so ill. She was a fighter. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 31st. She was a difficult loss for us.

EGON: Egon has been doing well with his FIP treatment. He was also receiving the same injections as his sister, Miracle, had been getting, but after 22 days we consulted with our admins and switched him to pills. They usually like to wait at least until 30 days of injections, but he is strong and fought the injections. He did not have the G.I. issues that Miracle did, so he is now on pills. He receives two pills a day, at a cost of $18 a day. Tomorrow we will increase his dose, at a cost of $24 a day, but it is worth it. He had his thirty post treatment labs, and they look particularly good. He is on the right track, and we are hopefully he will make it.

LUCIA: Lucia, pronounced Lou Chia, had major abdominal surgery on April 21st. Our director saw her vomit, and when she went to pick up Lucia, she felt lumps that felt like mammary lumps. She got her into the vet on that day and we were told she had an inguinal hernia. When the vet opened her up, she had found far more internal damage than she ever expected. Lucia’s intestines and other organs were moved into her sternum. The vet said “I must say you bring us the most interesting cases. What can you tell me about her trauma history?” We were asked by Southern Hills Vet Clinic if we would take Lucia into our sanctuary. She had been found by a good Samaritan with a feral colony, emaciated, and with a broken jaw. We asked the vet if she looked like a car may have hit her, and she said “yes.” The thing is she never had any signs of outward trauma when we took her in on August 7th, 2020. She may have recovered some before she arrived to us. Her ears had an ear mite infestation as well, and she is deaf. We do not know if the ear mites, trauma, or if it is genetic. Lucia did not need jaw surgery because it was aligned well and chewing dry food made it stronger and heal well.

PETE: Pete, the son of our calico, Mama, has been vomiting and losing weight. We brought him to the vet, and he was diagnosed as diabetic. A severe case too. He is now on insulin injections and will have his follow-up on May 13th to see if we need to adjust his insulin. Pete is a nice cat, and this is difficult for him since it changes his eating schedule, which as a result, changes the feeding schedule for ALL the cats in his section. They are not thrilled, but it is not a terrible thing for them. Pete took ten days to trap when he was a kitten. Our director found him, and his three brothers, along with their mom, back in June 2009. So, we estimate Pete to be around thirteen years old. We hope to give him several more years.

SARAH: Sarah, a male who came to us already named, has lost two pounds since his last vet visit, and that is a lot of weight for a cat. As our director found out the hard way on the drive to the vet, Sarah had explosive diarrhea. That was an unpleasant ride to the vet. The vet did not see anything concerning on his workup, but he was slightly dehydrated, He was given fluids and oral meds and will have a follow-up after that.

FINN: If you remember Finn, the cat that has the ruptured eardrum a couple of years ago, well, he has been acting a bit “off” and with his history, we did not want to take any chances. He also had been vomiting and diarrhea. That worried us that his ears could be acting up again. He does have to go in for the occasional anal gland expression. He was also placed on Famotidine and Propectalin. Hopefully, this takes care of his problem.

Our vet bill had been paid in full after the bake sale, then we got slammed with more vet issues. Our current bill is over $3300. This is the cost of rescue. We are more unique than other rescues in our area because we are a sanctuary, and that means these cats live their lives out with us at the sanctuary. It is not easy.

If you would like to donate directly to the vet bill you, can one directly to Airline Animal Health and Surgery Clinic in Bossier City, Louisiana. 318-747-5747. Or:

DONATION APPS:  Donation apps are a fast way for you to donate much needed cash to Yogie and Friends. The following are the methods you can use to help the cats:

PayPalyogieandfriends@hotmail.com

Venmo: YogieCats

CashApp: $YogieAndFriends

And as always, you can mail a check or money order to: Yogie and Friends, 128 Fob Lane, Frierson, LA 71027.

WHAT IS FIP? Feline Infectious Peritonitis, FIP, is a corona-based virus. This is a feline specific illness and not contagious to humans. This is one diagnosis that those of us in rescue dread because it has always been a death sentence. Until now. There are no guarantees with any medications, but this one is promising. Here is a link with the best explanation of what FIP is, and the program we are using for these two babies.

https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-infectious-peritonitis

PEN RAFFLE: We will be having several raffle items up at Geek’d Con in August. This sugar skull pen is just one example of what we will have at our fundraiser booth.

CRITICAL FOOD AND LITTER NEEDS:  The shelves at pet stores, and other stores in general, have been quite bear with the much-needed supplies we need. Our priorities are, scoopable cat litter (no lightweight as it is not safe for sick, or young, cats), Friskies Pate’ canned food, Royal Canin Kitten slices in gravy (Miracle eats this best), Royal Canin Dry Kitten, Purina Complete Dry, and Purina Naturals. We do not use grain free as it is not safe or recommended by our veterinarians. We also use Purina Fortiflora, which is a probiotic that aids in the health of the cats. Especially those in FIP treatment. Any, and all, help with these items would be appreciated. You can check out our wish lists on Amazon and Chewy.

SPONSORSHIP:  We often speak of our sponsorship program and right now we are really trying hard to get all our cats sponsored. Sponsorship is a wonderful way to help support our cats. By sponsoring one of our Yogie cats, you will be providing food, limited medical care (we know that medical bills can get extremely high and do not expect a sponsor to cover it. Unless they can, and want to), and their basic care and support. 100% of the sponsorship goes to the care of these animals. If each cat had a regular, monthly, sponsor, it would help ease the financial burden of care for the animals we provide sanctuary for.

Please note that more than one person may sponsor a cat, but rest assured that all sponsor funds are used for the ongoing care of our cats.

You can sponsor a cat for just $15 a month, $45 a quarter, or $180 a year. You can always contribute more. It all helps a great deal.

If you choose to sponsor a cat via PayPal or Venmo, please let us know the name of the cat you would like to sponsor. You can see on our web page in previous newsletters, the list of cats for you to choose from.

April 2022

Greetings Yogie Fans!

April is here, and so is spring! Please be safe out there when the usual spring storms arrive.

We have an immediate need for help with two FIP kittens at the sanctuary. We are looking at a cost of $5000 – $6000 over the next few months with medicine and vet checks. See the following information. We want to try and save these two babies.

MIRACLE: Miracle (The black kitten from the Fantasy Four) was brought to the vet on March 7th to see if her bloodwork, and, an ultrasound of her abdomen, might reveal what is going on with her. Dr. Daville called the Director after the ultrasound and said she saw some granulomas in her intestines and asked if we wanted to have these biopsied. She was able to do this the same day we brought her in. So glad we did. It was a rough surgery for one so little. The vet said she did not like the feel of her intestines and how “squishy” they were. There was also some fluid that was indicative of FIP, Feline Infectious Peritonitis. FIP has always been a death sentence for cats. We have always dreaded this diagnosis over any other because we knew there was no cure for it and often it led to a terrible death for cats. BUT there is a drug showing some promise, so we entered Miracle into this program. It is an expensive process, but the more cats who successfully clear of FIP, the better for others. Much like cancer studies, it is more data towards cures.

So, little 2-pound 3-ounce Miracle was entered into the program. This was done even before the results of the pathology results came in because time was of the essence. Miracle had her first injection on March 10th. The program is 84 days of injections with, unfortunately, a large bore needle because the medicine is thick. It costs $80 per vial, and that lasts about 8 – 10 shots, but will change as she gains weight. Our director has been doing this out of her own pocket. She wants this baby to make it. Miracle has had twenty-two injections as of 31 March. She is gaining weight! Her eyes seem brighter. She is not playing yet, but she is alive and eating like a pig. Our director has also been buying her Royal Canin Kitten canned food because Miracle loves it, and it is excellent quality. Pray for Miracle to have her miracle. You can follow her progress on Facebook too.

 

EGON: Egon is the gray tabby from the Fantasy Four. On Tuesday 29 March, our director went to feed the cats, but little Egon, Miracle’s littermate, did not run to the feeding. He stayed put on the blanket under a bench. When the director picked him up, he felt warm. She took his temperature but did not get a complete temperature since he fought her and got away. But the temperature jumped to 103 immediately upon insertion of the thermometer. A normal temperature for cats is 101 – 102.5. She knew based on this, his inactivity, and general demeanor, that he was extremely ill. She immediately brought him to the vet. His temperature was 104.6, ultrasound showed fluid in his abdomen, and his bloodwork had some significant issues. He was also diagnosed with wet FIP like his sister, Miracle. Egon spent the night on fluids, and other, supportive medications. He came back to the sanctuary on Wednesday and received his first injection for FIP like Miracle gets. This is a real gut punch for us because this medicine is so expensive, and now TWO cats have it. We are getting the other two littermates checked as well.

 

We still have a vet bill because of this at Airline Animal Health and Surgery Clinic in Bossier City, Louisiana. 318-747-5747.

March 2022 Newsletter

Greetings Yogie Fans!

We do not mean to make it seem like there is so much sadness, but we realize that things do, and will, happen. We want to share a special tribute to one of our human friends.

Sharon Harmon sadly lost her earthly battle with an extremely aggressive form of cancer. We met Sharon several years ago when she asked if we would take in an FIV+ cat. Sharon was a long-time volunteer with Shreveport Bossier Animal Rescue, and she was an integral part of the organization. Sharon became a friend and over time we had the pleasure of working events, both individual, and combined, with the local animal rescues.

Sharon was also a local Realtor and very well known in the community. She was a wife, mother, daughter, sister, Nana, friend, and so much more, to so many.

Sharon will be missed more than anyone can imagine. Please keep the Harmon family in your prayers.

Sharon Harmon   20 June 1960 – 23 February 2022

https://www.osbornfuneralhome.net/obituary/7893488?lud=70647A557DE2503A2C4A717FB5CB6273

FACEBOOK BIRTHDAY FUNDRAISER: Jenny’s birthday was February 24th, and she did a Facebook fundraiser, which raised $660. She always does her age in multiples. Her goal was $620. A fan mailed a check, since she is not comfortable donating via Facebook, for $50. So, overall, the birthday fundraiser raised $710. The plus, they do not take out fees. The negative, they do not release the funds for 45-75 days. But it will come in. Thank you to everyone who made the birthday fundraiser a success.

COMIC CON: Comin Con was a fun success this year. We missed this event not being here over the past couple of years and it was a huge welcome to be able to participate in it again. We were part of the very first Comic Con this group held in the Bossier Civic Center, and we are so glad we were able to be part of it again. It was a lot of work for us physically, but so worth it. We met some great people, and it was great to network. Thank you to those who came out to support the cats.

SPRING BAKE SALE: We will have our Spring Bake Sale on Saturday, 9 April 2022, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Petco, 6596 Youree Drive, Shreveport, Louisiana. Hope to see you there.

THE FANTASY FOUR: The four kittens and their mom are doing well, except for Miracle. Miracle seems to be struggling some with chronic, severe, diarrhea. The entire family had been treated for roundworms and coccidia. These are often difficult issues to treat because it means extra vigilant cleaning of litter boxes, and medication, which they really hate. But, with Miracle, she has a bigger issue with this. All the recent fecal samples, and the more in-depth culture of Miracles, came back negative. Dr. Daville suggested we place them on a high fiber food to help bulk things up. Please keep Miracle, and the entire litter, in your prayers that we get over this hurdle. Mom, Saphira, is spayed now, but the kittens are not yet fixed. We will wait until the vet thinks they are well enough to do so. Fortunately, they are in a situation that allows us to wait.

DONATION LINKS:  We have added CashApp as another way for you to donate to Yogie and Friends. The following are the methods you can use to help the cats:

PayPalyogieandfriends@hotmail.com

Venmo: YogieCats

CashApp: $YogieAndFriends

And as always, you can mail a check or money order to: Yogie and Friends, 128 Fob Lane, Frierson, LA 71027.

FOOD AND LITTER: We could really use some help with cat food and litter. Since things have been shut down for so long, we had no opportunity to do our normal fundraising. We hope you can help us in this area. What we use for our cats is Purina Naturals, Friskies Canned Pate, and Fancy Feast Pate. Regarding litter, any scoopable is good. Tidy Cat is usually the best because it is not as dusty. If you can help, you can PayPal a donation to yogieandfriends@hotmail.com or Venmo: @yogiecats. Thank you!
