Sponsor A Kitty
 

The sponsor a kitty program was created to help those kitties in our care who may have a medical condition such as diabetes, feline leukemia, allergies, heart issues, kidney issues or feline immune-deficiency virus (to name a few) or who may require ongoing medication or prescription food while they await their forever home. Under our care, no animal is ever euthanized due to lack of space, treatable illness, physical defect, age, behavioural or socialization issues. Of course, all this takes money.

For only $25 a month (less than a dollar a day) your sponsorship will support your sponsored cat's dietary and medical needs. Your name will be placed in a position of honour in our Reception Area under the photo of your sponsored cat thanking you for your support. Your name will also appear on our Sponsor a Kitty page of our website at www.dunroaminstrayandrescue.com, as well as our Facebook and Instagram page. Please indicate which kitty you would like to sponsor.

Payments may be made through Canada Helps (www.canadahelps.org), e-transfers or post-dated cheques which may be mailed or dropped off at DunRoamin' Stray and Rescue, 55 Allison Road, Riverbank, Carleton County, NB E7L 4J1. Please make sure you provide your complete mailing address for income tax purposes as well as your e-mail address and telephone number. Please contact us at (506) 328-3380 for information on how to send your donation by e-transfer.

On behalf of all our sponsored kitties we'd like to thank everyone who supports our strays. It is only through your kindness and generosity that we are able to help these special kitties. Sincerely - "Thank you."

Lakeville, NB

"Lucia" came to us on November 16, 2021 from Teed's Mill where she had been a stray who was hanging around a home.  She was live trapped in order to ensure she was healthy, spayed and might live with her rescuers.  She tested positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia) so her rescuers were unwilling to keep her with their cats as FeLV may potentially be spread to other cats.  FeLV+ cats are able to live together with other FeLV+ cats since they already have FeLV and there is no risk to humans, other pets or other already-positive FeLV cats.

REQUIREMENTS:  Food and annual vaccines until adopted.

**  Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is found in cats worldwide.  It may be spread by saliva, nasal secretions, urine, feces and milk from infected cats.  Cat-to-cat transfer of the virus may occur from a bite wound, during mutual grooming and (though rarely) through the shared use of litter boxes and feeding dishes.  Transfer may also take place from an infected mother cat to her kittens, either before they are born or while they are nursing.  Although there has long been a stigma associated with this virus, these cats can live long and happy lives as only cats or with other cats who have FeLV.

"Strauss" came to DunRoamin' on October 28, 2014 from the Brookville area where she was one of several cats who had taken refuge in a shed.  Kind neighbours had very generously taken on the task of their care and were diligent enough to notice a lump on her belly.  Strauss was diagnosed with an umbilical hernia which was quickly repaired when she was accepted as a DunRoamin' ward. Strauss was born about May 1, 2014.

Strauss has become a very affectionate and trusting little girl.  As of January 21, 2015, she is fostered with a family in Bristol.  It is most probably a very unique experience for her!  She must eat a diet of Royal Canin Urinary S/O food to ensure that she does not develop crystals in her urine which can cause her much harm.  Under her current care and in her wonderful foster home, she's perfectly healthy and happy and is grateful for her new life.

REQUIREMENTS:  prescription food for life (Royal Canin Urinary S/O)

"Abel" came back to us on April 20, 2018 from Woodstock where he had been adopted in December 2015.  He had originally come to us from Lakeville in 2012 where he was one of several cats who were hanging around a home but had no one to care for him.  He, his brother Abner and sister Avis came to us all at the same time.  Abner and Avis have both been adopted.

Abel is a sweet little boy who was originally very timid and needed his brother Abner to feel safe, but he's now very confident, secure and happy on his own.  Abel is eating a diet of Royal Canin Urinary S/O food to make sure that he is healthy as he has a tendency to form crystals in his urine which may block his ureter if he eats other foods.  We have had dozens of cats who have been placed on this diet and it works extremely well - no problems at all, as long as they eat this diet.

Abel is currently in a foster home where he will be loved, cuddled and doted upon until he is chosen for a permanent home - he can't wait!  He was born about April 1, 2012.

REQUIREMENTS:  prescription food for life (Royal Canin Urinary S/O)

"Langford" came to DunRoamin' on March 8, 2019 from Woodstock where he had been a stray who had been hanging around for about six months and was being fed and sheltered during the recent cold winter months. The day before he had appeared with a large bleeding wound on the left side of his neck. Langford was born about March 8, 2017, so had apparently been surviving on his own for a while.

Langford was delivered immediately to his newest vet friend for the medical intervention he required. It was learned that Langford had sustained a previous wound on his neck which had abscessed and burst. Langford was prescribed antibiotics and other required medical care, which he quickly received. Langford was covered with numerous old fight wounds, indicating that he's had a rough life to date, but all that changed today. He is very loving and affectionate and is grateful for the warm bed and plentiful food. He's a social eater who prefers to have company when he eats, so when someone is with him, he eats up a storm of that ever-present banquet! He's hoping that someone will give him a loving home. Langford tested positive for FIV. Please read about FIV and FeLV here.

REQUIREMENTS:  food, vaccines, medication for itchiness for life, love and care until he finds a home

** FIV is contagious to other cats through blood and saliva.  It is reasonably difficult to spread, however, and now believed to be mostly spread through deep bite wounds.  Obviously it would be ideal if FIV-positive cats only lived with other FIV-positive cats, but currently some of the large rescue centers in the US have been studying multi-cat households with FIV-positive cats living with FIV-negative cats and have found the risk to the non-FIV cats to be very small, assuming that the cats are all spayed/neutered and used to living in groups (ie:  not as likely to fight).  We currently have FIV+ cats living with FIV- cats in foster homes and have experienced no difficulty whatsoever.

Please read about FIV here.

"Trez" returned to us on December 27, 2019.  He originally came to us on July 13, 2018 from Riverbank, NB where he had been abandoned in a kennel outside the door of the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic.  He had very long nails, ear mites, was not neutered and was terrified.  All these problems were addressed and he quickly became a cuddle cat once he realized he was safe and among friends. 

Trez was adopted on December 15, 2018 to a home in Hartland, but it was reported that he was not happy in that home, so he returned to us.  He developed a bit of an upper respiratory infection (cold) which was treated.  He has recently experienced some diarrhea and is working on getting it all under control.  He hopes for a chance at another home very soon.  He is friendly, loving and affectionate.  Please come meet him.

"Frazzle" came to us from Waterville on the morning of May 13, 2019 where she had been found on a porch at 8 am.  Frazzle could barely move.  She was brought for help and was immediately taken to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic for examination and assistance.  Frazzle was not in good shape.  She was born about May 13, 2017, but weighed only three pounds.

Frazzle was dehydrated, very pale, had halitosis, was emaciated, lethargic, had burdocks matted in her fur and had a purulent discharge coming from her eyes.  A thermometer revealed that her body temperature was also several degrees below normal.  She was very cold.

Frazzle was warmed up, given intravenous fluids, medications and several tests were conducted to determine if her kidneys and other organs were working properly.  Frazzle was so exhausted and weak that, in the next few hours and days, she could barely hold her head up when trying to eat warm food.

On May 14, 2019, Frazzle received a blood transfusion from a generous feline donor which has begun to make a world of difference for her.  Thanks, Biggie, you saved her life!  Frazzle used the litter box for the first time on May 15 and appears to have the tiniest bit of energy - that's a WONDERFUL sign!

On May 31, 2019, we learned that Frazzle is improving nicely and is comfortable, happy, purring and content with her huge staff of human servants who wait on her hand and foot, day and night and she will be treated like a queen while under the medical care of the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic.  Her food must be put through a blender and she is fed through a tube until she is able to eat on her own.  Soon!

She (and we) would like to thank the Florencevile Veterinary Clinic for their kind and hard work to ensure this little one has a chance at the life she deserves.  She is feeling so much better and shows her gratitude to her vet tech foster mom daily.

"Hatfield" came to us on February 4, 2019 from the NB SPCA. He was born about February 4, 2017. Because Hatfield came from a location where Feline Leukemia had been found in other cats, he was segregated and retested on March 18, 2019, at which time it was confirmed that he did not have Feline Leukemia and is perfectly healthy.

Hatfield was a bit timid, but he's learning that he's safe and sound and that he has many servants who will ensure he has everything he'll need! He just needs a little more time to come around, and he's doing very well. He has some itchiness on his legs and belly which require medication but he is doing very well.

REQUIREMENTS:  medication, vaccines, food and love!

"Waif" returned to DunRoamin' on January 29, 2021 from Woodstock where she had been adopted about three years previously.  Waif had become ill and was not doing well, so she returned to her original vet to be treated.  Waif had a temperature and did not want to eat.

She was prescribed medication and required a feeding tube inserted until she feels well enough to eat on her own, which we hope will be very soon.  Waif was born about January 3, 2017 and is a very nice, friendly, affectionate little girl.  We'll keep you up to date on her progress.  We'd like to thank her vet tech foster mother for taking such good care of her.  She's in the best of hands.

"Harold" came to DunRoamin' on March 13, 2020, from Perth-Andover, NB where he had been living under an apartment building and eating garbage. No one could help him, so he came to us.

Harold was born about March 13, 2015. He was very much underweight, had marked stomatitis (infected teeth) which meant he needed all his teeth removed, and had hair loss on his back end. His ears show some "character" as well. This little boy needed help. He was already neutered upon arrival and he has tested negative for both FIV and FeLV. He is currently daily medication to help control diarrhea.

Harold very quickly has made himself a favourite. He is affectionate, loving and will turn himself inside out for a cuddle - he's very grateful to be warm, safe, have good and frequent food and have loving caregivers. He's healthy again and he'd love to be an indoor cat so he can live safely and have his own family to love. As you can see by his face, he LOVES chin rubs - he's missed out on so many, but that changes today!!

Harold has undergone dental surgery and will receive full vaccines, lots of nutritious food and parasite control.   He is very choosy about what he eats and is not gaining weight as he should, but his caregivers are on that!  We hope he'll be fine soon.

REQUIREMENTS:  prescription food, medication, vaccinations, parasite control

"Spartacus" came to us from the Plaster Rock area on May 2, 2017.  He is a beautiful little boy - a true gentleman.  He loves to be petted and particularly loves his ears, cheeks and chin scratched.  He is not so much a "pickin' up cat," but he is very affectionate and likes to spend time with humans.  Spartacus was born about August 2, 2014.

Spartacus tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), but he is a very healthy, happy, affectionate boy.  FIV cats can live long and happy lives, especially if they are monitored closely for such things as upper respiratory infection (colds) or dental disease.  Please read about FIV below and consider taking one of these beautiful cats home - they're perfect!  Spartacus is currently in the home of a senior citizen as part of our Cats For Seniors program.

"Fivel" returned to DunRoamin' on August 1, 2019.  He had originally come to us on June 5, 2015 from Florenceville where he had been found wandering in a yard.  He had a lacerated right hind leg, a severe infestation of ear mites, bleeding ears and infected puncture wounds on both front legs.  He needed help and he was able to receive it.  On December 15, 2015, he was adopted to a home in Peel.  Unfortunately, he developed crystals in his urine which clogged his urethra, ensuring urine could not leave his body.  This is very serious.

Fivel was accepted by DunRoamin' and underwent care at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic where he received the medical care he needed. On August 6, 2019, he underwent surgery to remove several tiny stones stuck in his urethra. This surgery, which included a perineal urethrostomy, allowed the stones to be removed/passed and he's doing so much better now. He takes a daily stool softening medication to help prevent constipation. Fivel is fortunate to be in a foster home and is grateful for all the assistance he has received from such caring people.

REQUIREMENTS:  Prescription Royal Canin Urinary S/O and stool softening medication food for life

"Splinter" came to us on May 8, 2018 from Glassville where he'd been part of a colony of feral cats that was trying survive on their own.  Splinter was born about August 7, 2010. In his life he had sustained several wounds and injuries.  Today he displayed a very badly infected ear and he needed help.

Splinter's ear was cleaned and he was placed on antibiotics to ensure the infection would not spread further.  He wasn't sure what to think of us at first, but this old guy was definitely happy to be warm, safe and have food delivered upon demand.  He is doing well, and although he was initially a little timid and quiet, he soon realized that we would take good care of him.  He is currently fostered with six other cats in Florenceville and he gets along with them very well.  He loves his toys and to sleep on his human's bed!  He hopes to have a permanent safe, warm and loving home soon.  He's tired of those long, cold, hungry winters and has paid his dues many times over.  He likes to be patted and have his belly rubbed, but mostly he loves having his back scratched at the base of his tail!  Elevator butt!!  Splinter tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus).  Please read about it here.

"Babbs" came to us on July 15, 2019 from the Florenceville area.  She had been peeing inappropriately and was no longer wanted, so her future became precarious.  She was surrendered to DunRoamin' and is a beautiful little girl who was born about September 9, 2014.  She required some dental work but was fine otherwise.

Babbs has a fantastic purrsonality.  She loves everyone - especially kids!  She is very affectionate and loving and wants only to be with humans who will love her back.  She requires daily medication which she accepts easily and willingly.  She is a truly beautiful being and we hope she gets the home she deserves very soon.  Her favourite time, other than cuddling with humans, is pushing pens off a desk and carrying them around!  If you need a pen, just find Babbs - she'll have at least one!

Babbs has recently been diagnosed with kidney failure, so she will spend her remaining time with us being spoiled rotten!  She is a sweet little girl who deserves all the love and attention she can get!

"Furgie" came to us on July 14, 2020, from Fredericton where she had been adopted earlier, but had been peeing and pooping inappropriately, so came back to us.  Since her return, she has displayed no such behaviour, but has been diagnosed as being diabetic.  Furgie is now on 6 units of insulin twice daily and is doing very well indeed.  She is playful, happy, affectionate and loves the other cats with whom she resides. 

Furgie has become one of our greeters at DunRoamin' and takes her job very seriously, although she has so much less to do due to COVID-10 restrictions, but we're all hoping this will pass soon.  Furgie was born about January 31, 2012 and hopes for a retirement home where she can sleep happily on someone's lap - it's the first place she goes if we sit down even for a second!  If you're looking for an attentive, affectionate little cat, she's your girl, and she'll pay back your kindness in spades!!  She has recently been diagnosed with diabetes, so she must take insulin twice daily and eat prescription diabetic food.  She is a beautiful little girl who loves all people and doesn't mind the medication at all, as long as someone is paying attention to her!

Furgie is a beautiful calico who will give everything to her new family, and she definitely has a lot to give.

Rocky has come into his own very quickly.  He is friendly, affectionate and loves to have lots of pets and scratches.  If he tires of attention, he'll let us know with a quick swat, but then is back very quickly for more loving!  He is quite the boy!  He is happy to be in a foster home where he can have the run of the house, but he is looking for a home of his very own.

FIV+ cats may live long and happy lives and may interact with other cats as long as they do not fight, and he's a lover, not a fighter!  Please come meet this gorgeous tuxedo cat!  He is SO hoping for a home where he can sleep on a bed, watch TV and help his person type on a computer!  He loves to hang out with people!

"Astrayea" came to us on September 17, 2021, from Woodstock where her family could no longer care for her. Astrayea was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism which will most require medication for life, but it's really no big deal at all! She was born about September 16, 2009, and was already spayed.

Astrayea is doing well with her hyperthyroidism medication and has since started taking medication to help relieve constipation. She is currently fostered with a wonderful family who dotes on her! She is a beautiful little girl who is very quiet, loving and affectionate.

Please spay and neuter your pets!

"Gaia" came to DunRoamin' from a colony of cats near Hartland.  Born about January 1, 2020, she was not in good shape.  Her left eye required enucleation (removal), and she will also require dental work in the next few weeks, once she's strong enough.  On top of these medical issues, she was found to be diabetic.  She's had a hard go, but that all ends today.

Gaia tested negative for FIV and FeLV and was spayed.  She will require supportive care, a diabetic diet and insulin to regulate her system to ensure that she grows strong and healthy but she is doing very well and she's anxious to leave vet care and be a family kitty.  She is a beautiful little girl who is grateful to be warm and safe.  Now that she's starting to feel better, she is showing her real personality - and it's a winner!  She hopes for a loving home very soon.  Her insulin injections are really no big deal, are very inexpensive and she is SUCH a sweet little girl!  Once she puts on a little weight, she will be very grateful to have a family of her very own.

REQUIREMENTS:  insulin for life, as well as diabetic food.  She currently eats Fancy Feast which is her basic requirement, and she doesn't at all mind her very small dosage of insulin twice daily.

"Gilmore" came to DunRoamin' on June 2, 2021, from Gregg Settlement where he was peeing inappropriately in the home. Gilmore was assessed by his vet at Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and found to have cystitis for which he was treated. He no longer has any medical issues, but he must eat a diet of Royal Canin Urinary S/O food for the rest of his life to ensure that he does not become blocked or have any other urinary issues.

Gilmore is a sweet little boy. He loves to have his ears scratched and loves attention. He is the first to greet people and loves everyone! He likes his S/O diet and he is doing great! He hopes for a home in the very near future with a family who will love and appreciate him - he is a very nice boy. He is currently in a foster home with Rocky where he enjoys being spoiled!

REQUIREMENTS:  prescription food (Royal Canin Urinary S/O) for life so that he does not develop crystals again and block.

Dazzler requires a bit of dental work to remove three teeth, but is otherwise fine.  She is a very sweet little girl who deserves only the best of care.  She is quiet and affectionate and hopes for the home she deserves very soon.  Her dream is to be able to spend the rest of her life on someone's lap!

Kuffner is a big boy, weighing about 12 pounds.  However, his size in weight does not display the huge amount of love and compassion he has, because in his new home he was bullied by an older, infirm female cat.  While he refused to fight back, he was also stressed by her, so he returned to DunRoamin' to find a place in a less intimidating environment.  He is a sweetheart who loves to play.  Kuffner is not allowed to have injections of any kind, including vaccines, as he has a strong negative reaction at injection sites.

Unfortunately, no one was available to provide her care, so she came to DunRoamin' to live with our two diabetic cats who eat Diabetic food and require insulin injections twice daily. Josie was born about June 17, 2012.

Josie is a beautiful little girl who is slowly settling in with Furgie and Gaia. Thanks to the care and interest provided by her vet friend at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic, Josie does not require insulin injections - just diabetic food for the time being. Perhaps some day, she won't even need that!

Josie is doing well and is hoping for a permanent home very soon - she deserves it!

Beau

"Beau" came to DunRoamin' on June 19, 2022 from the Somerville, NB area where he had been hanging around for a few seasons, but no one could take him in. Recently he had been observed to have what appeared to be injuries on his face.

Beau was accepted by DunRoamin' and immediately examined by his new vet friend who observed an infected injury to his right cheek and several smaller wounds on his feet, one of which was an exposed ligament. These wounds are most probably the result of an attack by another animal while he was trying to survive on his own. Beau is estimated to have been born about June 19, 2018, so was about four years old when he arrived at DunRoamin'.

Beau has undergone sedation several times so far to have his wound drained, treated and sutured. He was prescribed pain medications and antibiotics to combat his injuries. Beau was also diagnosed with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) which you can read about here. He currently lives with his other two FIV+ friends, Crombie and Jedi and all are doing well. Donations to help with his medical care are greatly appreciated.

Crombie

"Crombie" came to DunRoamin' on April 23, 2022 from Crombie Settlement, NB. He had been found in an abandoned house where he had been seeking shelter for quite some time. A kind lady had tried to catch him, but when she went back to the house he was gone. Approximately two weeks later, she was able to find and rescue him.

Crombie was born about April 23, 2012. Assessment by his new vet friend showed that he was very dirty, matted, emaciated, had fleas, ear mites, internal parasites and a luxating patella on his right leg. He had obviously been having a hard time trying to survive, but the worst and probably most painful thing was his mouth. All his teeth were rotten and required to be removed. He also had a very bad abscess on his tongue which had resulted in a hole through his tongue.

Crombie was immediately provided antibiotics, pain medication and a nice warm and comfortable bed. He was also given wet food which he devoured. Despite his physical condition, he was soon purring and kneading - saying thank you to his new vet for her help to make him more comfortable.

Crombie is currently doing well. He is gaining strength and feeling much better. As are all DunRoamin' strays, he will be neutered, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV, and his parasites were one of the very first things treated - nobody needs those!

Update: Crombie has tested positive for FIV, and his mouth is healing well which he is very grateful for!

Crombie is a very sweet, playful boy. He loves other cats, and loves to cuddle with people. He will be ready for his furever home very soon.

Sacha

"Sacha" came to DunRoamin' on August 24, 2022 from the Somerville area. She was born about August 24, 2009. She came to us with entropion (a condition where her eyelashes turn inward instead of outward - this can be very painful and required surgery to correct), she was very badly matted, had fleas, ear mites and required surgery to remove her infected teeth. She was also missing her right front leg and her left front leg has arthritis due to the extra strain it has had to accept. With all these things working against her, she was not in good shape. She needed help.

Sacha was soon feeling much better once she was prescribed pain medication, given a healthy diet, was getting a bit of exercise, has had her eyelids fixed and her teeth removed. She has also been treated for all parasites and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Sacha was already spayed when she arrived. She is still experiencing difficulties and as of September 22 is under the constant care of her new vet friend at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic where she is getting the very best of medical treatment - we're sure she'll be doing much better very soon. Her past few months/years weren't the greatest, so now it's time for her to experience some good times, and we'll be doing everything we possibly can to make that happen!

"Tanoo" and her kittens, Tamper, Tamara, Tardis, Trax and Tenet all came to DunRoamin' from the Fielding area on November 14, 2021, where they were living alone in and around an abandoned building. The location was cold, provided little shelter and very little food. Tanoo was born about November 18, 2019, and her babies were only about six weeks old. All kittens have since found homes.

Tanoo is a beautiful little girl who was initially very timid, as she had apparently never known the safety and security of a loving family. She is still slightly timid and it takes a minute for her to learn to trust a new person, but she has come a very long way and is doing well.

We hope that Tanoo can find a loving family who will give her a warm home where she can spend the rest of her life. She was born about November 18, 2019 and we're hoping she gets the opportunity to know a nice warm lap and the joy of playing with a computer mouse! Please come meet her.

Theodore

"Theodore" came to us on April 12, 2021 from a place where he was being fed but no one was able to provide the care that he required.  Theodore had fractured and missing teeth and a badly-infected soft tissue abrasion on his left front leg.  Theodore was born about April 12, 2018.

Theodore is a beautiful boy.  He was initially scared, but has since learned that he is among friends.  He loves  his food and loves to have his head scratched.  He is doing very well and is hoping for a new home - he looks forward to that very much.  He has had a very hard life to date, but he is anxious to finally have a family who will love and care for him the way he deserves.  It takes him a second to get used to new people, but that's understandable.  He can't wait for his very own family - he has a lot to give them!!

Chicory

"Chicory" returned to DunRoamin' on December 6, 2022. He had been adopted in June, 2020, but had been returned as his family was no longer able to care for him, which is our policy. Chicory was born about June 1, 2010 and is a real sweetheart.

Chicory is currently on Tapazole to control his hyperthyroidism, a tablet he takes daily with absolutely no complaint! He is a friendly, purring, happy, playful little boy who hopes for a new home very soon. Please give us a call if you'd like to meet him. He's about twelve years old and set in his personality which is "I love humans, I want to cuddle, I want to keep you company." He is a sweetheart and a real prize for anyone who loves feline companionship and would be perfect for a quiet home where he has his very own human(s)!

On March 8, 2023, Chicory was introduced to a lovely couple from Moncton who had seen him online and fallen in love. In addition to his personality and good looks, they were drawn to the fact that they had another cat who had hyperthyroidism and was on the exact same medication and dose as Chicory! They wanted to help another cat have a wonderful life and since they were already familiar with his medical issue, they chose him. Sadly, Chicory and their cat did not see things eye-to-eye, and as both were stressed and unhappy, Chicory returned to us to find a more suitable home. We thank his adopters for all their kindnesses to Chicory.

Chicory appears to pick and choose cats with whom he will share his affections. He gets along with some cats but appears to take offence with others! Chicory is an extremely affectionate cat to humans, so perhaps it might be in his best interest to be an only cat, as long as there is plenty of human attention and interaction. He is very loving and attentive and would love to have one or two humans to call his own. Please come meet him - you won't be able to resist his charms!

Lolli

"Lolli" returned to DunRoamin' on February 4, 2021 from Woodstock where she had been adopted previously.  She had been abandoned in an apartment but was rescued by a kind young man who took great care of her, but as she had been peeing inappropriately, he was unable to keep her.

Lolli was examined by Florenceville Veterinary Clinic staff to determine her issues and treatment and was placed on medication which has done it's job well.  She is using the little box consistently and has no further issues.  Lolli was initially stressed at such a change in her environment as she has always preferred a quiet, warm and comfortable home without stress.  As she has lived in an apartment very close to a street, she appears to be stressed by loud noises such as snowplows which pass very close to her windows.  We hope that we are able to connect her with a nice, quiet home where she can live out the rest of her years.  She may take a bit of time to settle in, but once she is comfortable, she is a cuddle cat who will jump happily into your lap and stay there as long as you will let her!

Lolli was diagnosed with a moderately severe heart murmur. She said she'd like to stay with her DunRoamin' friends unless a nice quiet home comes along where she can live happily and stress-free. She looks forward to a home of her very own.

Kensi

"Kensi" came to DunRoamin' on July 6, 2022 from the Woodstock area where her owners could no longer care for her. Born about May 5, 2019, Kensi had developed kidney stones and required surgery which took place on July 7. Of course, with the skills of the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic, surgery was successful and Kensi is recovering well.

Kensi is overweight and will need a diet to ensure that she soon is of a healthy weight. We will keep you informed about her kidney stones - we're hoping that with a regular diet as she loses weight that she will be fine. She weighed about 18 pounds when she arrived, so will definitely need to lose weight to become healthy. She is a beautiful little girl!

Kimchi

"Kimchi" came to DunRoamin' on August 18, 2022 from Woodstock. She was not vaccinated, had urine scald on her hind end, was obese, matted and had bladder stones. Unfortunately, her owner was unable to care for her, so she came to us for the help she needed.

Kimchi was assessed by her new vet friend and provided with all resources she required. Kimchi is required to eat a prescription diet to ensure she does not form crystals in her urine which could block her ureter - we have had many cats with this issue. A diet of Royal Canin S/O food will ensure she is healthy forever - we have had dozens of cats with this issue and there has never been a recurrence as long as they're on this diet - it's fantastic!

Kimchi is currently in a foster home while she awaits a home of her very own. She is a sweet little girl who looks forward to that day. If you're interested in meeting her, please drop us a line - we'd be very happy to introduce you to this beautiful little girl!

Lanny

"Lanny" came to DunRoamin' on May 16, 2023, from the Bull's Creek area. A stray who had been hanging around a home for about two days, no one was able to take him in or care for him. He was friendly and had no issues with the dog of the lady who rescued him, but he was very skinny and unable to walk. He obviously needed medical attention.

Named after Toronto Maple Leafs star Lanny McDonald, Lanny was examined by his new vet friend. He was emaciated and had parasites and was immediately provided with all medical care he required and will be under the medical care of the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic until he is healthy enough to come back to DunRoamin'. We hope that will be soon.

Lanny was born about May 16, 2013, so is about ten years old. We are sad that he had to endure such a terrible time for at least the recent past, but that all ends today. Thanks to the generosity and concern of DunRoamin' supporters, he will receive the best of everything we can give him - food, love, medical care and lots of attention. He is already showing his gratitude with purrs and head butts. Lanny was already neutered when he arrived, and will now receive full vaccines and parasite control. He tested negative for FeLV and FIV. Lanny is a beautiful, loving little boy and once he is healthy and happy again, we hope to find him a caring family who will love him for the rest of his life. He definitely deserves that, especially after all he's been through.

Lawrence

"Lawrence" came to us on January 17, 2023 from the Debec area. He was diagnosed with diabetes and required daily injections of insulin which, due to the particular timings of this requirement, his caregivers were unable to provide. Lawrence was born about January 22, 2013 and is a very nice boy.

Lawrence also had a wound on his hind leg which required medical care. It is healing quickly and he is responding well to his insulin. He is a vocal and sweet little boy whose only wish is that he might live in a home, sleep on a bed and watch TV with his family (oh - and chase the mouse on a computer screen, too!) Please come meet him!

Yaeger

"Yaeger" came to DunRoamin' on January 17, 2023 from Somerville, NB. He had been a stray in the area for about four years but was now injured and had no one to care for him.

Yaeger was born about January 17, 2014. He had several deep wounds on the side of his face that were probably self-inflicted due to the large number of parasites he was carrying which made him so itchy and uncomfortable that he scratched himself very badly in an effort to stop the pain. Yaeger was immediately provided with all medical care required, including parasite control. As of February 17, 2023, his wounds are healing well. He is a very nice boy who has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Please read about it here.

Yaeger's wounds have healed very well. He may still have a bit of scarring on his face (or not!), but his eyes glow with gratitude now that he is pain-free, warm, safe and has such a delicious and nutritious diet. He would love to have his very own home and family - that would be a miracle to him! Please come meet him - he loves people and has lots of attitude!!

Willard

"Willard" came to us on September 7, 2023 from Hartland where he had been a stray who had been hanging around for two years. A man had been trying to catch him and he had finally allowed himself to be caught in a live trap - probably due to the severity of his injuries.

Willard was born about September 8, 20218, so is only about five years old. His injuries included wounds on all four paws and abscesses on both ears, one of which is suspected to be cancerous. Willard tested positive for FIV and requires dental intervention. He would have been surviving with much pain and no care for quite some time. He is fortunate to have someone who persevered until they could get him the help he required.

Willard was suspected to be feral, but he may just be scared. He is already letting two of his new best friends/caregivers pat him a bit and he is eating, peeing and pooping on his own. He has had surgery on his right ear and will receive dental intervention when he is strong and healthy enough, hopefully in the very near future. We are working on giving him a warm, safe, loving environment so that he can heal much stronger and faster without stress. Willard is a very good boy and we hope to report many more positive things soon.

Marner

"Marner" came to DunRoamin' on September 12, 2023 from the Woodstock area where he had been surrendered due to issues surrounding not using the litterbox. We were his only option for life.

Marner (named after Toronto Maple Leafs' right winger Mitch Marner) was immediately placed back on a prescription diet of Royal Canin Urinary S/O food and he is doing extremely well. He has not yet missed the litter box even one time - this food is the real deal! Marner was born about December 16, 2015, so is about eight years old and is an extremely social little boy who loves to head butt and spend time in close proximity to his humans (ie: on their lap, at their feet - anywhere he can be next to them to sneak some pats and hugs!)

Marner may require this Urinary S/O diet for life, but it is not a huge deal. We have had hundreds of cats on this diet and have not had a single recurrence of urinary issues as long as they eat this food only. Marner is looking forward to a family who will commit to loving and caring for him as he deserves the rest of his life, and he will promise the same in return. This beautiful orange tabby is in it for life, and he won't scrimp on any love or thank you's once he gets to his loving forever home - he can't wait for that. Please come meet him!

Scranton

"Scranton" came to DunRoamin' on March 13, 2023 from the Woodstock area. Born about March 16, 2021, he had been blocked (meaning that crystals had blocked his urethra so that urine could not pass from his body). Surgery quickly remedied this situation and he is now fully recovered. He currently is eating Royal Canin Urinary S/O, a prescription food, to ensure he does not block again. We have had dozens of cats on this diet and they have never blocked again, so he will be good to go very soon! He has been neutered, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites. Scranton is an affectionate, loving little cat and is more than ready to meet the family he deserves!

Scranton

"Brady" came to DunRoamin' on May 25, 2023 from Centreville. He had "blocked," which means urine could not escape his body and was building up in his system. He needed medical care which no one could provide. Brady had been neutered, been catheterized and had blocked again. He is now eating a prescription diet of Royal Canin S/O food - we have had dozens, if not hundreds, of cats on this diet, and have had no recurrences, so IT WORKS!! As long as he eats this diet, he should be fine! Brady is a very nice boy who was born about July 9, 2022.

Brady is an extremely affectionate little boy. He demands attention - he loves to be petted, picked up and cuddled! He is hoping for a family who will offer him an unlimited amount of cuddles and who will promise to keep him on his prescription food so that he can stay healthy! Please reach out to us if you would like to meet this handsome boy!

Noreine

"Noreine" came to DunRoamin' on June 19, 2023 from Kilburn where she had lived for most of her life. Her rescuers brought her for help as she was overweight and requires most, if not all, of her remaining teeth to be removed. She was born about June 22, 2014, so is an older lady.

Noriene has a luxating patella on her left side (this can be common in cats - it just means the kneecap can slip in and out of place, but they normally do very well). Her first visit with her new vet friend revealed that she was constipated, so she underwent medical intervention to help with this and is doing much better. She is now on a healthy, nutritious diet of Royal Canin Adult cat food. She is very affectionate, loving and talkative. She is grateful to have this new lease on life and thanks her rescuers for making it possible. Without them, who knows where she would be now?

"Shirley" came to DunRoamin' from Woodstock, NB on July 24, 2023. She had been found as a stray and it was believed she had trouble breathing. Examination by her new vet showed that she had some upper respiratory infection but was otherwise fine. She was born about July 24, 2020 and is a beautiful little girl. She had a bit of diarrhea, but that will quickly resolve with proper medications from her new vet. She hopes to have a safe, warm, loving and permanent home once she is fully up to date on her vaccines, is tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites. Shirley was already spayed upon her arrival.
