Nam’s Story

HENDERSON, TEXAS: We never know what will happen when someone asks us to help an animal and we agree to do so.

The caller said an unfamiliar cat stayed all day at her house and was making biscuits in one spot the whole day. She feared for its safety due to her dogs and wanted it to move on and be safe, so she called us and contributed our intake fee, so we accepted Nam into our care, anticipating he would need to be vetted and could then be adopted. However, immediately upon picking him up at her location it was noted that he had an eye issue and needed a prompt vet assessment, so he was taken directly to the vet and the costly adventure of Nam began.

    Fiona
    FIONA’S DOUBLE HERNIA DEATH SENTENCE
    TYLER, TEXAS: When Fiona’s owner in Tyler reached out seeking to surrender her, we had no open space and put her on our waitlist.
    When space became available her owner said she had found her a home. YIPPEEE!
    One month later the family who had adopted Fiona contacted us needing to surrender her due to conflicts with their other kitten. When they came to surrender Fiona, they fell in love with Molly and adopted her and she is getting along great with their other kitten.
    Fiona was now in custody of The Duncan Home For Wayward Cats and once again, when we take in a cat or kitten we never know what the future holds or how many dollars we may have just committed to spend on the tiny creature’s life that we have just taken into our care.
    In Fiona’s case it was discovered that she had a double hernia when she went for spay surgery. It was so bad they could not operate on her.
    We had to reschedule her for the complex surgery at a full-service vet.
    During her surgery, the vet called while she was asleep on the operating table and told us that the two hernias had been present so long that her intestines had been damaged and it was unlikely Fiona would survive the more complicated surgery and if she did, she might not survive long after.
    The vet asked if we wanted to euthanize her or proceed understanding the odds.
    I told them to proceed.
    The cost of that simple statement was $844.29
    Cats are resilient creatures and Fiona deserved a chance to prove that as fact by living her life.
    Fiona’s surgery went well and her recovery went well and today she is doing great. 🙂 She has come from being one phone call away from death to being a fiesty little Calico who rules the room that she shares with 7 other cats 🐈 who are all waiting for their forever homes.
    Fiona now has an opportunity to live a long happy life in a loving home because we chose to invest in saving her life rather than euthanizing her.
    You can be part of saving her life and helping her have a bright future with your contribution.
    Please give any amount you can.
    THANK YOU!

    Tigress

    $1624.24 AND 7 MONTHS LATER TIGRESS IS FINALLY WELL

    HENDERSON, TEXAS: For those following our cat adventures, Tigress’s mom, Egypt, was rescued from the Canton, Texas kill shelter 04/25/2024. When Tigress was born on April 29, 2024 she had already cheated death twice. Four of her littermates did not survive birth even though we saved them from the kill-shelter. Tigress survived both.

    Unfortunately, Tigress developed breathing issues in June 2024 and has been ill since then. At times we were fearful that she was not going to make it. She has been to the vet multiple times and has had a number of medications administered daily since then. Her vet bills just kept growing without her improving at all.

    After having tried everything that the vet had recommended, in desperation I requested they perform a scope procedure under anesthesia to inspect her airways for abnormalities.

    During that procedure, a mass was found. (refer to photo)

    The mass was removed and sent for evaluation. Fortunately, it was found to be a benign polyp and was not cancerous! Yippee!!

    She is now scheduled for spay and final adoption preparation… provided we can raise the funds needed for her and 47 others.
