Shelter Seeks Help to Care for Disabled, Orphaned Kitten
The Connecticut Association To Assure Love & End Suffering hopes feline lovers will donate funds to aid 2-month-old.
Spencer the kitten is a special addition to the Connecticut Association To Assure Love & End Suffering family and is need of your support for his extensive care. CATALES is a non-profit, no-kill cat shelter supporting Middletown and surrounding areas.
Spencer, born around July 24, has been with CATALES and in a vet’s care for his specific health emergency and now we’re reaching out to the public for support.
Spencer suffers from partial paralysis and minor neurological issues related to cerebral hypoplasia; he has damage to his spine, limited movement of one of his rear legs and no movement in the other leg. Spencer also has decreased bladder and bowel control with minor kidney problems.

The CATALES director needs to care for him every six hours to help him eat, go to the bathroom and provide stretching exercises to his good leg to make it stronger in the event he needs his non-functioning leg amputated. Spencer was recently examined by one of our vets, had X-rays done, had a urinalysis done and is on meds.
Spencer loves to play with his rubber ducky! Check him out in action on Youtube

However, his medical bills are very expensive. In bringing Spencer’s situation to the public, our hope is that compassion will prevail as we request donations in any amount to offset or cover his mounting medical bills. CATALES runs strictly on donations and the generosity of its patrons.
The CATALES philosophy is that each feline in our care has the right to attention and placement with no threat of euthanization.
Those interested in making a donation on behalf of Spencer’s care may make them directly to Catzablanca Vet, 2096 Silas Deane Highway, Rocky Hill, CT 06067. Checks should be made out to Catzablanca and in the memo section of the check it should say: "CATALES, Inc. — Spencer."
Monetary donations may also be made securely on-line at CATALES.org and checks sent to CATALES should be noted for Spencer, made out to CATALES and sent to CATALES at Box 901, Middletown, CT 06457.
