Yes! We've hit $500.00 for Maisie's surgery and recuperation. Unfortunately, Maisie will be staying with Dr. Cobb for about five more weeks, so we don't know what the final bill will be. Dr. Cobb is offering many of his services free, and we owe him a tremendous thanks.
Last week we were also asked to help Zeus, a cat that was believed to have been seriously injured in a Florence house fire. Thankfully, Zeus was only singed, sooty, and scared--not a great combination, but not life threatening either.
However, Dr. Cobb was on standby for the cat should he have needed actual medical attention. It's not a rare thing for the small animals who make up part of our families to need emergency attention. We firmly believe that families who adopt animals should be responsible for their basic medical needs, but none of us can predict an emergency brought about by freak accident--or finding a homeless animal like Maisie who would die by the side of the road without help from her human friends.
Therefore, we are establishing Maisie's Fund, a permanent fund that will reside in an open account at Dr. Cobb's Colbert Animal Clinic. We'll be providing more details on how to give as we provide the final update on Maisie's health and her placement in a forever, indoor home.
Trader will also be contacting each of you who've given so generously with more details on the end of Maisie's wonderful story of recovery. Did I say end? I meant beginning...
