Update on "Midnight", little man with a plan

As you all know, a few weeks back we took in Midnight, a small, dying anemic kitten riddled with fleas that were killing him. We kept Midnight on heavy surveillance and made sure to provide exceptional life saving husbandry practices while Midnights body recovered.

We gave Midnight a warm comforting bath and removed all the fleas. Next, we kept him on warming for 3 days waiting for his core body temperature to remain stable within the normal range. If you recall, his rectal temperature was (90.5F at intake, and normal range is 99.5F-102.5F for cats and dogs). We also provided him with oral vitamin supplementation (Liquitinic) and hand fed critical care food via syringe. Once his body temperature stabilized, he began to eat on his own (Mother and Baby cat Canned and dry food). He is now stable, super playful and has a plan for life that does not include fleas or parasites!

Midnight is on track to begin his vaccines next week and will be neutered and microchipped shortly after!

Midnight is very special, especially to our foundation. His case highlights one of the most preventable yet life-threatening issues cats and dogs face- flea bite anemia. Flea bite anemia is also one of the preventable conditions that inspired the creation of The Indigo Phoenix Foundation.

Education is the key to changing the game.

Anyone equipped with the knowledge to do so can and would have been able to save Midnight's life.

Update on "Smokes"

Brutus and his journey

Meet Brutus, a sweet kitty that crossed our path by chance. His mother thought that he was feeling a bit dumpy and sick. She could not afford all of the needed diagnostic tests to identify out what was going on with him medically.

We stepped up and got him the diagnostics he needed to find some real answers. We ran the blood work and found very high thyroid levels and he was able to begin much needed treatment for severe hyperthyroidism!

Today, his values are within normal limits and he is doing great clinically. His mother is overjoyed to have her boy back! And we are so happy for them!

A Broken Spirit Found Hope

This is the story of "Smokes", a stray cat with a broken paw and spirit, that found his angel one afternoon in Februrary ..

This right here is what makes our hearts sing at The Indigo Phoenix Foundation! One of our sweetest board members bonding with the cat she rescued back in February!!!He limped to her doorstep but didn’t have any trust in humans, so Shannon knew what she had to do.Operation save kitty was in place and it was not easy. He was spicier than a hot tamale, and finding him help outside of the shelters Trap, Neuter and Release programs, finding this boy help was HARD!!!

Shannon seeked our help on what to do, and since she was too far away from us, she took our advice to keep him resting in a kennel and to keep searching for a veterinarian who had a heart full of gold to ( insert vet code of conduct here), and after months of searching she found him!The Doc kept him all day, gave him the care he needed and took x-rays that showed he was more than likely hit by a car. A true hero in our books!!!

Fast forward to today (almost 4 months later), and this hot tamale is melting in Shannon’s arms like a piece of chocolate on a hot summer’s day .

We couldn’t be more proud and happy to see you two so happy, healthy and full of love. What’s your story?
