The past several months have been busy for injured or ill strays being brought to DoveLewis by good Samaritans, police officers, firefighters and animal services.  As the spring and summer days get longer, our stray numbers tend to increase.  Because DoveLewis never closes, strays can be brougt to DoveLewis at any hour of the day or night.  With the onset of "kitten season", which typically begins in March, we have seen an increase in stray cats and orphaned kittens -  some orphaned kittens so young they were thought to have been born the day they were found and brought to DoveLewis. In April, 105 injured or ill stray domestic pets. birds or small wildlife were brought to DoveLewis, which is the most we have treated in one month since October of 2014. Thanks to our donors who so kindly support the Stray Animal & Wildlife Fund at DoveLewis - you help make it possible for the DoveLewis clinical team to help these animals in need - we thank you, and the animals thank you for your support.

A few photos of injured or ill strays who were recently brought to DoveLewis:

  • A litter of orphaned new born kittens
  • Tank, a friendly yellow Lab was found and successfully reunited with his family
  • A sweet stray cat with an abdominal mass
  • A friendly Chihuahua

Thanks for your support from these strays and all the injured or ill strays who come through DoveLewis' doors 24/7/365.
