One of DoveLewis' core programs is the Stray Animal and Wildlife Program. Last year we treated nearly 1,500 stray animals and wildlife. These are animals that were lost, ill or injured. This fund is completely supported by philanthropy!
Early in the summer, a good Samaritan brought a stray kitten into DoveLewis for care. The friendly black kitten was only .08 pounds and was found under a wood pile without the ability to move her back legs. She was tiny, dehydrated and her back legs dangled behind her, but to Erin Sochocky, CVT, DoveLewis’ inventory specialist, she was an animal worth saving. Because special needs cats are hard to place, Erin received permission to adopt the little kitten and named her Agnes.
“Special needs cats are just as amazing as a ‘regular’ cat,” Erin said. “Yes, they take a little more of your time, but the rewards are so much greater than any time loss.” Support of the Stray Animal & Wildlife Program make happy endings like this possible. Today Agnes zooms around the house playing with her feline family members despite not having the ability to use her back legs. She truly has no idea she is special!
From owls, chickens and snakes to your more "generic" cats and dogs, DoveLewis is here 24/7 for any animal facing a pet emergency. Thank you for supporting this program!
