When I was at the shelter Tuesday, there was an orange tiger kitten there. This poor little fellow was attacked by a dog ( Thankfully someone saw it happen and stopped it immediately but not before his legs were damaged, it is believed he is paralysed) and is unable to move his back legs. The shelter does not want to euthanize him as he gets around fairly well and does not appear to be in pain. There is also an older cat there at the shelter approx 1 year old. She is calico and while she is not his mother she has taken care of him as if he were. Because of this the two must stay together, how could they not??? I will be heading back to the shelter tomorrow to take photos of the little fellow and his surrogate mom. If anyone is interested in adopting them please contact me at savingfurryfriends@yahoo.com.Please note that the shelter is, understandably,insisting that the adoptive family not have any  far we have had no offers to adopt , and the shelter can not hold them much longer,but we do have an offer to foster for as long as needed, we are asking for help with this little fellows vetting bills as well as help raising funds for a wheelchair for him when he is old enough to use it. If there are any rescues out there that have a wheelchair for a small dog that they are not using perhaphs they would donate it to Tyson to use once he is full grown?? As always our veterinarians name,number and address are available upon request to any and all that donate.

Thanks, Caroline

While we here at SFF can not accomodate humans, we can accomodate an additional 14-16 animals ( sorry no pet aggresive animals)on our 4 acre property ( short term 1-4 weeks). This offer is on a first come first serve basis. We will be errecting and additional 3-4 kennels to accomodate these animals as needed as well as utilizing some of our foster homes. All animals must be current on their vaccinations and come to us with current rabies vaccine certificates. We have volunteers that are willing to travel to southern Tn to transport animals up to us here in Southwest Va. In the event your rescue/your pet have animals in need of a temp. shelter please email us at savingfurryfriends@yahoo.com
