Petco Adoptathon and Kissing Booth a Success!

What a great day yesterday! Three Wish Upon a Paw kittens found their new families, and we raised more than $170 to help the homeless pets in our care! Cooper the Wonderdog was a big hit in his kissing booth and flirted with all the ladies and gentlemen who visited our booth! Thank you to Pam, Sara, Paula and Natalie for making this day absolutely beautiful!


Cooper the Wonderdog never tired of giving free kisses!


Who could resist this face?!


He was a natural for this job!


And yes, we painted his nails pink halfway through the event...he loved it!


Sara and Vinnie had a fun time hanging out!


Kaiya and Natalie gave Cooper a much-needed break from his long shift!

11 Kittens Rescued!

Natalie and I rushed to help Deb Schulz of The Lost Companion Rescue in Wild Rose when she called us saying she had pulled 11 kittens from a sad situation. They were all sick and she didn't have anywhere to go with them as she currently has many of her own cats, fosters and ferals she already takes care of. We ventured out to Wild Rose the afternoon of the huge storm and made our way around huge downed trees and sagging power lines to her little farmette in Waushara County to help.


Despite having no power and the oppressive heat, we managed to combo test all the kittens and treat them all with clavamox for their upper respiratory, and clean their ears and eyes...the first step to getting these babies healthy!


Here's Deb and me at the end of the long day...


The babies were a little unsure on the way to their Wish Upon a Paw foster home...


Most of them had goopey eyes and some couldn't even open them, poor babies...


By the end of the night when everybody was cleaned up and medicated and safe in their Wish foster home they were all pooped out...


By the next day everybody was settled in and feeling much better...


They have quickly adjusted to being in a quiet, safe, loving foster home...


After they are nursed back to health, spayed and neutered, these babies will be available for adoption through Wish Upon a Paw! Stay tuned to www.wishuponapaw.org for their petfinder listings once they are ready!
