Gabby’s Amazing Transformation
Alley Cat Allies’ latest TNR collaboration with the Humane Society of Atlantic County has reached over 6,000 cats with lifesaving veterinary care and nutritious wet food at no cost to caregivers.
When tiny tabby Gabby needed emergency treatment for an upper respiratory infection impairing her eyesight, we could immediately provide it! After convalescing in foster care, Gabby then returned to the clinic once more—this time, for her spay surgery. That was the last step before she was officially adopted!
Saving “Wobbly Kitten” Celeste
At just 8 weeks old, Celeste was discovered alone, underweight, and dehydrated. It was clear she had been recently abandoned, and that she needed immediate treatment to survive.
Alley Cat Allies provided the access to care Celeste needed to get back on her paws—though that looks a bit different than your average kitten! Celeste has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), a condition that affects her coordination and balance, and gives her a signature “wobbly” walk.
Luckily, Celeste’s new family didn’t miss a beat. They already had a cat with CH and knew just how to create a space where Celeste could feel stable and comfortable. It was the perfect match!
Saving Sweet Bell
Abandoning a cat is cruelty. Alley Cat Allies covered the costs of medical treatment for Bell, a two-year-old tortoiseshell cat who was dumped in a cardboard box outside by her former owner. We helped ensure that Bell received the care she needed to recover from her ordeal and start again.
Charges are being pursued against the person who abandoned her. We will remain involved in the case and provide our expert support.
