Please share and help if you can!

Repic Lepic is seriously ill.

He stopped eating a few days ago, he’s rapidly losing weight, his coat is poor and dull and he looks all shaggy and miserable. When he was taken to the vet, it turned out his body temperature was 35.9 C, he was utterly dehydrated and is suspected to have bronchial pneumonia.

He’s been receiving IV fluids for hours every single day since Thursday and is also being given Longaceph and sulphonamide antibiotics.

His nose was totally stuffed up before treatment and it was necessary to clear out the mucus from his throat and nose – as soon as he began to breathe easier, he already looked much more lively.

Repic endured a horrific ordeal and was forced to live through a nightmare during the first five months of his life. While he was living on the street somebody tried to pull his eye out, so he underwent surgery.

His eye has been saved, but the vision in that right eye is gone forever. A few months later, some male cats raped him and he returned home all bruised and bitten. Quite understandably, he is shy, withdrawn and not people friendly, so he only lets strangers touch him when he is very unwell.

Please, help us provide this beautiful kitty boy with all the medical care he needs!

We couldn’t help him avoid suffering what happened when he was little, but we certainly can help him now!

Anything you’re able to contribute towards his care adds up and means a lot!

Well now we have had an update from IAR; and the fantastic news is that Budi is really coming on in leaps and bounds ! – he now looks so good you would not even think it was the same tiny animal which was rescued a few weeks ago.

Thank you for your support!

Budi feb 15

Dear Mark

I wanted to write to you on behalf of our amazing animal care team and sincerely thank you for your recent donation to International Animal Rescue.

Thanks to you his life is no longer in danger and his health is improving every day. The change in little Budi has been remarkable. From a pitiful creature who was in so much pain that he was unable to move or sit up on his own, he has become an inquisitive young orangutan with a huge appetite for food and a strong will to survive. 

See the latest update on Budi here.

Many people have been moved and inspired by the story of Budi the baby orangutan

Budi has won the hearts of people all over the world and his story has given us an amazing opportunity to raise awareness of our orangutan rescue project in West Borneo.

I am sorry that it has taken us a while to write to you: of course, we have been busy looking after Budi but I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you and let you know that your donation has made a real difference. As you will see from his update, Budi is responding extremely well and, while there is still lots to do, because of your contribution we have been able to provide him with the very best intensive care – I am sure that you will be as delighted as we are with his progress.

I have been asked whether it is possible to adopt Budi and I am very pleased to say we have just completed the adoption package for our new star. I would like to offer you an early opportunity to adopt Budi, and become one of Budi’s “first buddies” – if you will forgive the pun! – before we share this exciting news with the rest of our supporters.

Should you decide to adopt Budi, you can choose either a digital pack or postal pack and you will receive a certificate, factsheet and full colour photo of Budi, followed by regular updates, photos and videos of his progress, accessible via our website.

Please note that the postal packs are still in production and it could be a few days before they are dispatched from the UK. Our digital packs are sent immediately after purchase and make the perfect Valentine’s Day Gift!

Once again, please accept a very heartfelt “thank you” for your support on behalf of Budi and all of us at International Animal Rescue. Our rescue teams out in the field genuinely couldn’t save a single animal without you.

With warm regards.

Yours sincerely

Alan Knight OBE

Serbia: Little Švrća Is Just 2 Months Old; But Undergoing Veterinary Treatment For His Sickness.

Serbian  Flag

starving pup

Švrća was found on the streets in Serbia in a terrible state.

At only 2 months old he has not known what the comforts of a home and family are.

He has several spots with no hair compounded with wounds.

He was taken immediately to a vet for examination. Švrća has demodex, poor blood results and he has a temperature. Although it is not yet known what other infections he is fighting off, his treatment will last for at least 2 months.

As a result he will needs to stay in vet clinic during the therapy which makes it expensive.

Švrća needs help urgently.

The money required is not a great deal to help this little guy get better.

If everyone gave just a few Euros we would reach the target overnight.  

We have helped get the ball rolling – can you join us ?

Thank you  – SAV.

Serbia: 8/2/15 – News From Felix Shelter About Fiona – She Is Doing Just Fine !

Fiona’s doing great, even though she’s a tripod kitty now 🙂 Before it started snowing, she was cheerfully hopping through the yard, scratching cat posts and having fun as if nothing had changed, but now that everything’s white, cold and wet outside, she’s spending most of her time indoors.

A huge thank you to all of you who contributed towards the costs of her surgery and post operative care, thus enabling this beautiful girl to enjoy life again!

winter has come 2015

Yet another snowstorm has hit us yesterday. It’s a heavy, wet snow that never stays around for a long time because it’s just not cold enough.

Although the actual outside temperature is around 0 degrees Celsius, the “feels like” temperature is much lower. The stinging wind that brought us the snow chills you right to the bone and most of the kitties are tucked up in their nicely heated rooms; the radiators have suddenly become everyone’s favorite snoozing spots.

However, some of them are sneezing and having eye discharge, it seems to happen every winter, so please, if you can, help us provide them with high quality food and vitamin supplements to make them stronger for what lies ahead.

This year’s cold season is evidently far from finished.

Thank you all in advance!

Serbia: 5/2/15 – More News From Danica At Shelter Felix.

Danica Mirkovic Shelter Felix

Unfortunately, last year’s phase of shelter repairs lasted forever and it wasn’t until mid November that we began to think of raising funds for the first tank of gas for central heating.

Things couldn’t have looked darker until the awesome Laura Simpson and her very impressive organization The Great Animal Rescue Chase & Harmony Fund stepped in and managed to raise almost the entire sum needed in no time at all.

Thanks to all of the wonderful people who responded to our plea for help, none of the Felix kitties even noticed the severe drops of outside temperatures in December as their rooms were properly heated and pleasantly warm.

The first shipment of heating fuel is supposed to last until the end of February and then we’ll have to find a way to raise the funds for another gas delivery.

Serbia: Felix Shelter News 1/2/15 – When It Rains, It Pours. But Eventually The Sun Will Shine !

Serbian  Flag

FELIX

SAV Comment – As Danica says below, ‘when it rains it pours’.  She (Felix shelter) have lost so many beautiful cats over the last few weeks, you have to ask when they are all going to get a decent break that works for them rather than what seems (at the moment) to always be working against them.

Danica and Jasna work so utterly hard to give the very best for all their shelter cats – they do not deserve all the problems that appear to be queuing up for them at present.  But saying this; we know that every cat which has passed over the bridge can look back and thank shelter Felix for providing them with a safe warm haven home; with lots of good food; and most importantly with the medical attention and love that they very much needed.  Danica must be proud of what she is doing; although at sad times like this the world does often appear to be against you.

It is not, and we support Danica 110%.  We hope you do to; and will send her messages of support with her excellent work for all our little feline buddies.  One day, and we don’t know when; the government and authorities will realise that animals are sentient beings just like us; and those animals will, through them and their better understanding,be given care, compassion and the respect that they deserve; just as those lucky ones at shelter Felix are getting every day now.

When it rains it pours but in the end; the sun always appears to bring brightness and better feelings to an overcast situation.  This will happen very soon at Felix shelter.  Danica has put so much effort into the facility, that there is only one way that it can go now – UP  !!

We will do what we can to make this happen sooner rather than later.

When it rains, it pours…

Our gorgeous and sweet black panther Njanja who’s been struggling with serious health issues for more than a year, finally gave up the fight.

He had pancreatic insufficiency, FLUTD and who knows what else 😦 He’d be frighteningly skinny, then he was gaining weight, skinny again, then gaining weight again for such a long time. In December last year he became lethargic, his appetite was poor, he looked worn out and tired of everything and it seemed he knew his time was coming.

He died peacefully and without pain a couple of days ago, he just fell asleep and didn’t wake up again.

In this time of deep sadness and total heartbreak, not even knowing that Njanja was loved dearly and cared for until the end isn’t much of a consolation.

Wonderful Rose who has sponsored him for almost a year and a half has already been informed of his passing, as she loved him deeply and we felt she should be the first to know that he’s gone.

Our sparkling sweet boy is now running in some greener fields, but I’m sure we’ll meet again one day.
