Pet Of The Week

Community Animal Network maintains many cats’ vet treatments and medication through our “life program.” This pro-quality life program encourages people to adopt those animals with special needs while removing the customary fear of “adopting a vet bill.”

The 9-year-old black Oriental Siamese mix named Sampson is one of the cats in the “life-program.” He was diagnosed as a diabetic two years ago, and his disease is managed beautifully with twice-daily insulin shots.

At Sampson’s yearly check-up, a single tooth became a priority that led to X-rays. Feline specialist Dr. Elaine Wexler-Mitchell found that every root was infected and believed the cat had been in considerable pain. A mouthful of dental extractions had to be performed and all his teeth were removed.

Two animals had dental surgery on Monday and one kitten was treated for a fractured paw. The bill for the day was $1300, which included our rescue discount of $409.

Sampson will be available for a meeting at his caregiver’s home by calling (949) 759-3646. See other available animals on-line at https://www.animalnetwork.org, or at the weekend Fashion Island Pet Adoption events sponsored by Russo’s Pet Experience, from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Many of you may not know that there is a greater role and duty to the network’s ministry with animals. I am the one who cares for the ‘life program” cats until they get adopted. Morning and night I give injections, life-saving fluid therapy, medications and treatments.

Thank you. Last week we received $525 which brings to $1,346 the total towards the network’s New Year’s goal of $10,000. The network is thankful for the funds you have given.
