Sunshine
"Sunshine and her 6 month old son Champ were rescued together on Friday, November 10th.
This is how it happened:
Quote:
"Karen O’Neil had Friday off from work, and she and her neighbors withheld feeding Sunshine and Champ throughout the day. Karen and I had telephoned Alan Borgal of The Animal Rescue League of Boston; it was Alan’s day off and he did not hesitate to call his partner to meet Karen O’Neil with 2 nets. Sunshine and Champ were sitting in front of Karen’s bedroom window waiting to be fed. That is when Alan and his partner snuck up on them and cornered them. As they tried to escape, they slammed the nets down on them. Once they were confined in the nets, they were then put in a dog kennel, safe at last and together."
"Alan then rushed them to a local vet were they stayed overnight to be spayed and neutered the next day. They got all of their shots and seem to be friendly and in good health. We caught them just in time...on Wednesday night, Champ had been bitten severely in his neck and had lost a lot of blood. We do not know what type of animal bit him, and he may have gotten into a catfight. He had surgery on his neck and must be confined indoors for 6 months due to a 'WOUND OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN.' Thank God we caught him when we did; he would have gotten a severe infection with the open wound."
"I (Karen Savalio) picked up Sunshine and Champ at the vet's on Sunday, November 12; they are resting comfortably and eating well in my home. Champ is on antibiotics. As far as Sunshine’s leg, the vet said to wait 2 weeks once she recovers from her spay and to then bring her back for the x-ray and leg diagnosis. I know she is in pain, because when I touch her injured leg slightly, she whimpers and gives me a little nip, as if to say 'DON’T TOUCH.' Other than that, they both let me pet them and seem friendly and content. They are very attached to each other and cannot be separated."
"A special thanks goes out to Alan Borgal and Karen O’Neil for their fantastic rescue. Another special thanks goes out to Ce-Ce & Friends volunteer Mary Sweeney. Mary has offered to care for Sunshine and Champ until they are adopted. She has a special room all set up for them: it is called 'SUNSHINE AND CHAMP’S DOMAIN.' Mary has about 12 cats; she is an angel to all the cats and is always willing to take in more. Mary called me every day asking about Sunshine’s capture and she, like all of us, is so very happy that they are finally out of danger."
"Thanks to all who have been thinking of and praying for Sunshine and her family... and special thanks from Sunshine and Champ!"
