Maybelline
Maybelline has struck gold with her new family! She has been adopted by our wonderful board member and veterinarian Claudette. She couldn't be in better hands and we are thrilled for her Lucy
Congrats to the Poletz family on their new furriend! Lucy has found a wonderful home with them and we look forward to updates. Update from Coco's new family!
We would love to update you all on our adorable addition to the Doetzel family! As you know, we adopted Coco, who we now call “Charlie” (short for Charlotte). She is SO lovey! She can’t seem to get close enough to us, like constantly being wrapped around our legs or tucked under our chins. During the first few days at her forever home, Charlie had a couple incidents of being in trouble after pooping under the Christmas tree (thankfully this problem was short lived!). She spends a lot of the day chasing around jingly balls or the older kitty! In the evenings when the humans are home, you can find her snuggled up close with her belly up and front legs sticking straight out. Charlie is so, so loved. Calvin
Little Calvin isn't so little anymore but he has found a furrever home! We knew it wouldn't take long for that cutie. Congratulations to his new family |
Maisy and Chanel
Congratulations to the Otto family! They have two new additions to their home after adopting both Maisy and Chanel. We were so glad to see these two sisters go together and are excited for updates!

Harriet
This poor girl came from Luseland and on examination was found to have a solid lump in her abdomen. During surgery, our veterinarian discovered that it was a giant clump of hair! We are thinking it must be mouse hair as there were some bones in there as well. She had the hair removed and has since been adopted by a lovely family in Luseland. |
Award and Donation!
Our board member (and star veterinarian) Claudette won an award from Pets Plus Us for her charity work recently. She generously donated her $1500 check as well as the gift basket she received as her award!
We are very lucky to have someone like Claudette donating her time and expertise to KC Rescue and she is very deserving of this award!

Rosie (aka Beyoncé) - She's a Survivor!
|
We would like to introduce a very special kitten to our followers.
Meet Beyoncé (who has now been renamed Rosie by her adoptive family). She was found in an oil field by employees of OJ Pipelines and Enbridge Pipelines, they promptly rushed her to Border Vet Clinic in Provost. The workers named her Beyonce because they knew she would be a survivor. Upon arrival to the clinic, it was discovered that she had a broken jaw as well as a sunken eye. She was very underweight and was in need of immediate medical care. Our veterinarian bonded her canines together to try to stabilize her jaw so it could heal. This meant that she could only stick her tongue out of her mouth a bit and couldn't chew or open or close her mouth. After about a week of this, she started to bleed from the mouth. It was discovered that she had developed an ulcer on her tongue, our veterinarian then opened her jaw, treated the ulcer and re-bonded her jaw again. She stayed with a volunteer being syringe fed as well as receiving multiple medications a day. She was also getting a bath almost every night because of the mess made when she tried to eat. The person she stayed with kept telling her that if she could hold on, she would soon be able to have treats and eat real food. Her sunken eye had to wait to be removed until her jaw could be opened enough to intubate her for surgery. In the meantime, she had eye treatments multiple times a day to help with pain and discharge. Eventually, she was able to have her jaw released, this meant that she could go into surgery to have her eye removed and be spayed. The eye had to be removed as it was beyond saving and was only causing her trouble and pain. During the healing process of her eye removal, there were some scary episodes where she was bleeding from it. Our vet determined that this was simply a blood clot breakdown and a normal part of the process. There were a few moments where we weren't sure if she was going to make it. We wanted to share her story to show that among all the abuse stories, there are always kind people out there. Enbridge Pipelines and OJ Pipelines have been generously donating toward her vet bills, which as you can imagine, are extensive. We appreciate their support and the kindness they have shown this kitten. We are happy to report that the person that fostered her from the beginning, has decided to adopt her. Her name is now Rosie and she is fitting in well with the resident cat and dog. She plays like a kitten should, knocking stuff over, chasing everything around. She is gaining weight quickly and her eye has healed. However, even after having her jaw opened, she still has very limited movement and can only open it about a centimeter. We are still working on helping her gain mobility in her mouth so she can eat properly. We are hoping to consult with specialists to see what can be done to help her from here. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes at KC that we don't often post about. Some of it is heartbreaking and some of it is inspiring, like the strength that this kitten showed and the amazing people that brought her in. |

Sierra recently turned 6 years old and for her birthday party, she asked for donations for KC Rescue in lieu of gifts. Sierra collected $250 in donations and presented it to KC Rescue at our Open House yesterday. All of us at KC Rescue would like to give Sierra a big THANK YOU for being so amazing! Happy birthday Sierra! ❤❤❤ Callie
Adopted August 2017 Callie has settled nicely into her new home. Callie 's Mom tells us that she's even made friends with the dog (but not too close). Callie is snuggling everyone (no surprise) and it doesn't matter if you are awake or not. 😉 We are so happy for Callie and her family. ❤ |
