LITLE JOHNNY CAME IN FROM THE COLD

Howdy! ,
I'm Lame Little Johnny, a ten week old precious male kitten, who desperately needs a helping paw! When I was younger, my front left leg was badly injured. I was shunned by my mom and siblings and was left to fend for myself. I dragged myself around for several weeks, starving, weak, and full of fleas and worms! Finally, a nice gentleman found me and called Delaware Valley Veterinary Hospital, who told him to call Shirl of Stubbs Animal Rescue, also a client of Del Val. I was examined by Dr. John Vinciguerra. He told my rescue mom that my leg had to be amputated! However, before I can be operated on, I must put on some weight and get stronger. Dr. Steve Milden and Dr. John Vinciguerra of Delaware Valley Veterinary Hospital will be doing my surgery. My rescue mom says they are the BEST and that they will take great care of me!
After I heal, I will need a very special loving home.
Thank you and please say a prayer for me.
Love,
Little Johnny
PS

PAWS AND CLAWS SOCIETY (PACS) LARGE PROJECT NEWS CENTER



"I ask for the privilege of not being born ... not to be born until you can assure me of a home and a master to protect me, and a right to live as long as I am physically able to enjoy life ... not to be born until my body is precious and men have ceased to exploit it because it is cheap and plentiful." Need we say more? Pet overpopulation is a monumental problem. Spay/Neuter is the solution.

As a result, there will be no more births and no more destruction of unwanted, surplus cats at these locations. It was very heartwarming to see the love and devotion shown by employees and temporary residents of these two facilities.

    Many litters of kittens were pulled, vetted, socialized, fostered, and will be placed for adoption when ready.

    On behalf of the animals, many thanks to Animal Alliance of Cape May, Animal Welfare Assoc, representatives from the two government facilities, Stubbs Animal Rescue and, of course, Paws and Claws Society.

    This program is proving to be extremely successful in Cape May County. Almost 700 certificates for free spay/neuter surgeries and vaccinations were distributed in the first four months of operation. Certificates are currently redeemable at ten private veterinary offices and two spay/neuter clinics.

    On behalf of our feline friends, we sincerely thank the veterinary community and local volunteers in Cape May County for joining PACS and CMCASA in this important endeavor. We especially thank Madelyn Filipski of Cape May County Animal Shelter Alliance who worked from morning to night to make this program a great success.

    DECEMBER 10, 2005: PACS RECEIVES A WARM THANK YOU.

    I wanted to thank you for helping us last week in a mass trapping event that was magnificent. It involved a colony located right in the midst of the Wharton State Forest, managed by a fellow living in one of those grandfathered houses and surrounded by state forest. This was as colony that was cause for consternation... Thanks for your help in this most remarkable day..... Thanks again for your very great help in this very good story with a most happy ending.

    Preparation for the next project to spay/neuter 90+ cats is underway. Will keep you posted.
