CATALES & VETERINARY PARTNERS SAVE A LIFE: CALLIE'S STORY

Callie is an adorable and affectionate six-year old feline presently under the care of CATALES, Inc. Saturday evening of February 1st, a volunteer noticed Callie appeared very ill and was acting in an unusual way compared to her typical playful manner. So he took her to one of the CATALES veterinary partners, Adorable Pets Veterinary Center of Haddam.

 

Through veterinary care paid for by CATALES, Adorable Pets was quickly able to diagnose the situation and recommend emergency surgery that was performed later the same day at Pieper Memorial Hospital. The result was the removal of a large food and hair particle lodged in her intestine. Callie is recovering well and should be back at CATALES within a few days.

“The cats under our care at the shelter are individuals and we make it a point to know and understand each one,” says Deb Bagley, President and Executive Director of CATALES.
