Odd Paws Rescue

It’s just his size 🥹

Does anyone near Athens have an acrylic playpen to donate or that we can borrow for a few weeks? Mine broke when I moved. We have one on the wishlist but it does NOT have to be new.

They are nice because the kittens can’t climb them but they can clearly see and interact with the other cats and it feels less like a prison than a kennel or the pop up playpens.

Vet visit for Fennel today Odd Paws Rescue published a post on Ko-fi

Okay, Fennel has had his vet visit. Definitely wasn’t what I expected. Bones? Fine. Swelling? More extensive than I thought.
He’s got cellulitis, but no obvious wound or anything… but you know what we’ve been fighting for the past couple months? BROWN WIDOW INFESTATION. It’s been the porch, the side of the house, behind the house. There are black widows, too- which makes no sense to me bc I thought they ate each other??? It’s been a not fun battle.
He’s indoors only of course, but we’ve found a couple in the house, so it’s highly possible one got in the back too. So yeah, our current best functioning guess is spider bite for a possible cause. I super don’t love THAT.

So. Anyways. He had cold laser therapy, antibiotic shot, and take home pred & gaba. Just have to monitor and hope it gets better. Fortunately there was no marked change overnight, no rapid progression of anything, and he’s still being himself- aka ALL UP IN MY BUSINESS, purring.

It’s been an EXPENSIVE month. Reminder that we have a shop now! Patches, pins, and my art prints are for sale so far. ⭐️ oddpaws.shop ⭐️

It has been a heck of a month, in and out of the vet’s office with the babies. The last visit was last week for Anarchy’s bladder infection. He’s doing a lot better, the antibiotics are working. When I went out to the office to feed Fennel and Zuzu this morning, Fennel was limping a bit and one of his legs was swollen, so we’ll be going back to the vet probably tomorrow (Sunday means urgent care and it doesn’t seem emergent) & likely that means more x-rays. Any extra income we can scrounge together this month would be SUPER helpful. The current Care Credit balance is back up to $1,610 .

I got us our own storefront at oddpaws.shop so my husband doesn’t have to keep selling our stuff on his band page. We have keychains, pins, patches, and 4x6/5x7 prints of my photography work, both matted and unmatted. Any orders before the 13th will ship out right away!

Hello new friends! SO many new people on the side of things. I just wanted to post here specifically to let you know that FB is NOT monitored- I post on Instagram and it shares on here. I check things when I can, but we are a really really small rescue and 95% of the work is done by just me, one person, on top of my normal work that pays our bills. If you want to support us, one of the best ways to do so is on our Ko-Fi- it's like a Patreon, but all public. I very rarely remember to update there, so posts are sporadic, but it all goes to the rescue and I post everything on the Instagram and by default here! We also have a little shop- oddpaws.shop . Currently we have keychains, pins, and patches.

Also I am sorry to those that have been filling my inboxes with requests, but we do NOT do public intakes whatsoever. We are not a public shelter. I am one person taking care of special needs animals specifically, paying for their care out of my pocket, and all non-special needs cats that we have at Pet Supplies Plus come from the shelters we work with. I pull from shelters in smaller counties that have less support and resources. I cannot take the cats you're surrendering because you're moving, or the litter of kittens from your backyard. I know social media makes it look like we have some huge team, but we're just one tired, overworked goth (me), her tired, overworked husband, and a handful of our friends fostering. We currently have TEN forever cats, two snakes, two tarantulas, two bottle baby kittens, and two adult foster cats in my office. I have nowhere to *put* anyone else, and our fosters are all full.

Thank you SO much for joining us here, and I cannot express how much I appreciate you. Without social media and the generous support we've received from a ton of internet strangers, we couldn't do this at all.

BEHOLD!!! The very wet butt of a little baby who just took her first P**P in the big kitty box! BY HERSELF!!

Thank heavens, her pipes are working. 😩

Meet Robin and Falcon!
Really, go meet them. They’re at Pet Supplies Plus waiting for you to take them home.
Biscuit and Gravy? ADOPTED 🎉

Sorry for the slow updates, I am but one very overwhelmed goblin with zero social media assistance who must also work to feed this army of furballs. I ain’t got time. I promise if there are any bad updates, I’ll post them immediately. No news is good news!

Molotov? Still not really pooping normally but it’s coming out bit by bit. Still pooping GRASS AND LEAVES. Like, how?! It’s been weeks. I think she is part leaf.
Anarchy? Uh, well, Anarchy has a bladder infection or UTI. Something. There’s really gross discharge when he p*es. Also oh yeah, he might be a he? Anyways. He’s otherwise fine and is now on antibiotics and showing no other symptoms besides… p*e goo. He’s on the tiniest dose of clavamox and real mad about it but he should hopefully be fine.

FENNEL MIGHT HAVE A HOME, with my best friend who adopted Stanky Leg. He needs transport to Portland, though, or he will have to hang with us until Dec/Jan probably. Anyone going from ATL to Portland before Dec and want to take a handsome baby boy with you? HMU.

ZUZU is still here looking for a home! She’s a sweet angel baby but she can’t be in the pet store. You can pick her up, you can give her kisses, but GOD FORBID you do both at once and she will bite your face. Just don’t pick her up and give her kisses simultaneously and you’re golden.

That’s about it for now, but we have some heckin ’ vet bills already this month from the bottle babies.
