Prayers for Sparky.

On a recent rainy day, we rescued a 6-week-old male kitten named Sparky.

Little Sparky was crying on the road.






After taking a closer look, we realized that both of his eyes were badly infected.






We rushed him to the animal clinic but the vet couldn’t be sure if Sparky would ever be able to see again.





We plan to take him to an eye specialist.

As long as there is a chance to save his sight, we won’t give up.

Skal's film ( receving treatment. )

Skal's story

I am a young Beagle but sadly, I don’t quite remember what happened to me and don’t have any record of my past. One day, out in the cold weather, a kind lady found me unconsciously lying on the road. She took me to the vet and there, they kept my body warm and treated me with some special medications. After few days I was able to eat and feel alive again. But… something was different. My legs! I couldn’t feel them anymore. I was paralyzed from the waist down.

The Vet and the rescuer were not able to keep me any longer and they wanted to put me down. But the kind lady who rescued me decided to call Animals Taiwan and here, they saw my eagerness to live and become the energetic Beagle I was born to be and they took me in. My paw-friends here said I am a sturdy, hardy little hound girl.

I am still in the quarantine room until I take all the necessary shots. The Vet also noticed that my legs are somehow looking stronger so they started to treat me with acupunctures and special shots between my paws. They hurt! I hate needles! But I know they are trying to give my legs back so I can again run around happily like a real hunter, full of stamina. I will also receive my wheelchair very soon! Hurray! I am just so happy to be alive! There are few paw-mates here in wheelchairs too. They told me they were hit by a car. Probably, that is what happened to me as well.

I don’t know exactly how old I am. I was brought to Animals Taiwan on Jan 15th 2010 so this is my new birthday date! This is when I first felt loved and cared. This is when I start living…..

Helping looking for Maggie

Maggie (please see attached photos) was rescued by Animals Taiwan in October 2009 from multiple abuse and broken legs. She has been living at a loving home and has finally learned to trust humans again. Maggie is now lost - she was last seen this morning at Xinyi Road and Dunhua South Road in Taipei City.

Please help keep your eye out for Maggie. The tip of her right ear is cut off. If you spot Maggie, please call Animals Taiwan at 2833-8820 or her parents Michelle 0987-797-673 or foster mom Sarah 0955-447-542.

Thank you!

Blacky from Dadu Road.

January 17, 2010- Joey rescued a black dog that had been hit by a car on Dadu Road.
The dog was taken to the vet, who performed an emergency operation to stop internal bleeding. Unfortunately, the arterial damage was beyond repair. All we could do for the dog was put him to sleep and end his suffering. On January 18, we took his body to the crematorium.

We felt terrible that we couldn't save him. It’s heartbreaking to think that accidents like this are all too common in Taiwan.

I'm glad I work at Animals Taiwan, where we do our utmost to save animals and educate the public. If we can convince people not to abandon their pets, then we can stop tragedies like this from happening.

We finally have the road fixed.

Dear all,

I would like to share this good news with you. The very dangerous road ( which was full of bumps and holes, and with a lot sharp rocks ) in front of the center was fixed yesterday with an asphalt road.

Harry 回來囉

Hi ,

Do you remember our very sweet cat , Harry? He is back from his foster home because his foster mom is going to US for a month. He will return to his foster home on March. Please come to our center to say hello to him and give him a big hug.

We also will try to find him a permanent home while he is here. ^ ^

KIKI

( The photos below are scary, please be aware. )

Kiki's Story

On December 15, Kiki was rushed to the AT rescue center by one of our volunteers, 范強森. Kiki was found near Taiwan University. Her eyes were stuck together and very swollen. They were still closed. We suspect that she was born this way and had never opened his eyes. She was very quiet.

We rushed Kiki to the vet, who removed the mucus covering her eyes, allowing her eyelids to finally separate. She could now open her eyes but they were still very swollen.
She looked like an alien.

The vet said that her eyes were beyond help. They would need to be removed when she was bigger and stronger. The vet prescribed some medicine to fight her constant eye infection and urged us to take good care of her.

After visiting the vet, we kept cleaning Kiki’s eyes. We painstakingly used moistened tissues to gently soften up the mucus that continued to ooze out. We gave her medicine, kept her warm, and just like a mother cat, we rubbed her bottom to help her go to the bathroom.

Day Two
Kiki didn’t poop for two days. We were really worried, so we took her back to the vet. This time, we took Kiki to the 士東 animal clinic, to a vet who specializes in kitten care.

The vet advised us to give Kiki a cone collar and prescribed some eye drops. The vet urged us to administer the drops as often as possible. The drops would soften the mucus and remove debris from Kiki’s eyes. As far as Kiki not pooping, we needed to spend more time massaging her.

Kiki was so tiny, we had a problem finding a cone collar small enough for she. So, we made one ourselves out of paper.

Day Three
Yeah! Kiki finally pooped! And it was a good one. Unfortunately, Kiki was able to wriggle out of her homemade headgear. We had to find something small enough for her to wear that would substitute for a cone collar, such as a swim ring.

Besides giving her medicine and constantly administering eye drops, we prayed for a miracle to save Kiki’s eyes. After every meal, we massaged her tummy. Even though Kiki was very sick, she still had a good appetite. During those first three days, Kiki was a good girl and ate all her food. She was showing us that she wanted to live.

After One Week
Kiki was pooping normally, but her eyes had not improved. We were going to Xizhi, so we took her with us. In Xizhi, Dr. Lin informed us that Kiki had a highly contagious herpes virus. Her eyes were seriously affecting her health. The most humane treatment was to end Kiki’s suffering, as this disease is highly contagious and could infect other cats at Animals Taiwan. The Vet recommended that we put Kiki to sleep. This brought tears to our eyes.

We contacted other vets about Kiki’s illness. Once more we asked for more details about Kiki’s condition from Dr. Lin and explained about her living situation at Animals Taiwan. Afterwards, Dr. Lin recommended that we have Kiki’s eyes removed because she was extremely contagious.

December 25
On Friday, Lusan took Kiki to the 全國 Veterinary Hospital (Yuanshan Branch) to see Dr. Wang. If Kiki’s eye infection couldn’t be treated, Dr. Wang said it would spread to other parts of the body, such as the brain. Kiki would be in even worse shape than she was now.
One of her eyes was in better shape than the other. Even if the infection were treated, the eye would atrophy on its own and would still need to be operated on.

Kiki tested negative for FeLV and FIV (feline AIDS and feline leukemia). If she could survive the operation, then she could live together with other cats
Dr. Wang said that although Kiki would have no eyes, she still could rely on her other senses, such as her ability to hear or smell. As long as care was taken to keep her living environment stable and not move things around, she could manage OK!

Kiki has a good appetite.
We hope that she will be able to pull through.

The vet warned that even if the operation is a success, it will be important that Kiki be well cared for and that she have a strong will to live. Otherwise, Kiki’s chances are not good.

Bandit and Joey.

Remember the last time Bandit had to wear a cone on his head? As soon as it was put on him, Bandit was so afraid he'd “scream.” This time Joey used food to distract Bandit. Once the cone was on, he gave him some food. Bandit was so focused on the food, he forgot to be frightened of wearing the cone. Joey has a way with animals!

Diaries

Today, Whitey bit Pudding on the bottom... Pudding is generally pretty noisy, but snapping at others isn’t good. We'll have to get Whitey’s favorite volunteer to have a talk with him.

Juno just found a spider in the outside kennel and kept chasing it. Juno is very curious. She's so cute!
