Last month was not an easy time for quite
a few kittens, cats, and puppies who arrived at AC&C shelters
requiring emergency medical care. Fortunately for them, the Picasso
Veterinary Fund was standing by to help pay for their treatment
at Fifth Avenue Veterinary Specialists and set these Little New
Yorkers on the road to recovery…and their new forever homes.
Tokyo (top) had been thrown
from a building, and Nancy (bottom), Nancy required
medical care for an earlier, untreated injury. They
are both recovering and will soon be available for adoption.
Jack Jack, a sweet tan and white, five-month-old
puppy, was thrown from a car in Staten Island. A Good Samaritan
in the car behind stopped and rescued him, and took the injured
puppy to the AC&C shelter on Staten Island. The Mayor's Alliance
arranged transport for Jack Jack to Fifth Avenue Veterinary Specialists,
where he received emergency care for his broken leg.
Charlie, a dark grey, four-month-old puppy, suffered
two broken legs when he was hit by a car. Tokyo, also four months
old but of the feline persuasion, arrived at the Manhattan AC&C
shelter with serious injuries from being thrown from a building.
Nancy, a slightly younger kitten, arrived at the shelter with non-functioning
hind legs, apparently the result of an earlier, untreated injury.
And Dino, a brindle and white puppy, was found as a stray and delivered
to the Brooklyn AC&C shelter, where shelter staff discovered
he had a broken foot.
In each case, the Mayor's Alliance arranged for
transport from the AC&C shelter to Fifth Avenue Veterinary Specialists
in Manhattan, where expert medical treatment was provided. All the
patients currently are recovering from their injuries.
Charlie (top) was severely injured
when he was hit by a car. Dino (bottom) required treatment
for a broken foot, and will recover from his surgery with
Rawhide
Rescue, and then be placed in a new home
Each one of these little New Yorkers will make someone
a loving companion just as soon as their injuries have healed. But
their fates might be far different if not for the Picasso Veterinary
Fund. The fund, made possible through private
donations, large and small, from caring individuals and organizations,
helps pay for necessary medical treatment for animals taken out
of AC&C shelters and transferred to other Alliance
Participating Organizations (APOs), where they will find new
adoptive homes.
