SABRINA’S ORDEAL:
Sabrina had diesel fuel poured on her in an attempt to cure her of the mange. Unfortunately, diesel is toxic. Initial Diagnoses: Demodex mange; covered in fleas; mild heartworm positive; malnourished; bloody, scabby, scaly, inflamed skin; missing approx. 70% of her hair; tapeworms…
Kim Johnson, an original-ARNO coordinator who now rescues animals in New Orleans full time, is already on to her next case: Trapping a dog with an embedded collar, seen running New Orleans streets for at least 2 months, with blood oozing down the front of her chest. Shadow, as she’s been named by Pam Leavy, will need surgery and weeks of follow-up medical care to heal the deep open wound, plus the expected heartworm treatment, spay surgery, vaccines, de-worming, and any other medical issues she may have.
DONATE TO MEDICAL COSTS FOR FORGOTTEN NOLA ANIMALS LIKE SABRINA:
It cost over $1300 to treat Sabrina for the mange, intestinal worms, heartworm, vaccines, spay surgery, etc. Thanks to generous donors, most of Sabrina’s veterinary bills have been covered.
To contribute to the fund for Shadow's care -- as well as future forgotten ones in New Orleans, DONATE BY CHECK TO: Feral Cat Consortium (a 501c3 accepting payment for Kim Johnson’s veterinary expenses for NOLA animals.)

ADOPT SABRINA:
Sabrina is about 1 year old, weighs about 30 pounds, and was living on the streets of New Orleans. Sabrina is in foster care while she recovers from mange, but she will need a forever home. Please consider opening your heart and your home to this special little girl. If you are interested in adopting Sabrina, please email Kim Johnson: nolacats [at] gmail.com
ADOPT THIS PRECIOUS SHIH TZU:
This love pillow was found wandering New Orleans streets, when he should be dominating someone’s lap! He was found with a collar, but no replies to posters about him. He is crate trained, leash trained...a nice little dog who misses his person. If you are interested in adopting this Shih Tzu, please email Kim Johnson: nolacats [at] gmail.com
