When did we get Athena and Zena?
Our friends over at Carroll's Animal Sanctuary and Rescue in Hanover, Ontario have been working with us for a few years now. When we have space, we help them take in more cats from their wait list each year from barns and commercial spaces in their area, surrenders from homes, and many other situations.
Athena and Zena are a mother daughter pair pulled from just such a difficult situation in May 2022.

The scraggly start for these two girls...

Carroll's arranged the pick up of mother Athena and her baby Zena from their difficult beginning and our volunteers drove out to pick them up and get them directly to our vets.

Sadly, like many of the cats that come from the streets (or barns in rural places) they are in need of a lot of medical care and attention. Poor baby Zena was nothing but bones, worms, and a serious eye infection! Mom Athena was completely depleted and just skin and bones herself.

Eye infection is starting to clear up

Mama Athena was so skinny

Once they were both medically checked, Athena tested positive for FIV, and Zena was on the road to recovery from her eye infection they were placed, together, in a foster home to get spoiled, fed, and loved to health!

Their foster mom got to watch Zena grow from a tiny bony girl, and start to fill out, grow a healthy gorgeous coat to match her mothers...

The difference an amazing foster home can make!

These two love spending time together, enjoying their amazing view from their foster home, and are looking so beautiful!
