Madge’s Story

Madge was a stray, brought to us by a good Samaritan. She was emaciated, critically dehydrated and was found to be severely hyperthyroid, with high blood pressure, an ulcerated mass on the base of her right ear, an ear infection and stage 3-4 (out of 4) dental disease.

After several weeks of supportive care and medications, she became stable enough to receive Radioactive Iodine (I-131) Therapy for treatment of hyperthyroidism. She did very well. Though she still has a ways to go and further treatment for her other issues, she is getting stronger every day and we hope will soon be healthy enough to find her forever home.

Madge’s story shows us what perseverance is and reminds us how far a bit of patience and empathy can go.

This sweet girl thrives on attention and pets. Her voice is powerful and sweetly raspy, and she uses it frequently to remind us that she has a story to tell us about the life she has led.

We do not shy away from sick, elderly, or special needs animals. Although they may require more from us and take a bit longer to find their forever home, each life is precious to us.

Cats like Madge, who come to us with a tale to tell, inspire us every day to remain committed to our motto, “all nine lives are precious.”
