Coco's Story
Hyannis

CoCo and her 2 siblings were rescued by a dedicated volunteer in Hyannis, last November.  Both Coco and her siblings arrived very ill with an upper respiratory infection.  Her eyes were sealed shut from infection and she was breathing with her mouth open. She was so weak that when presented with food, her face fell in it.  We proceeded to syringe feed her for 3 days as well as administer course of 2 antibiotics.

Here is CoCo 3 weeks after being given constant care.  As you can see she recovered beautifully and was then adopted to a loving family in Provincetown.



Henrietta
Craigville Beach

While NESAA was performing a rescue at a colony at Craigville Beach, a new cat arrived that had never been seen before. She was a beautiful, long-haired, black & white cat watching our efforts. We noticed she was blind in one eye and had what looked like a severe injury to her nose.  Fortunately we were able to capture her and we rushed her to our dedicated vet. It was soon discovered that Henrietta had been through tragedy and pain in her life. She was confirmed blind in one eye, her nose injury was actually squamous cell carcinoma (an aggressive cancer).  She had a large abdominal hernia that appeared to be due to a large animal bite. It was also discovered she was in renal failure, and her paws were yellow and stained from some chemical she had been in. We wasted no time and cut no corners in her medical care.  She was transported within days to an oncology group near Boston where it was sadly discovered her cancer had spread through her lungs and one lung had partially collapsed.  Our hopes were shattered for treatment. She was put in our hospice care; a loving, caring, foster home for 6 weeks.  She was able to gain 1 pound and receive love and comfort that she had never seen in her life. We sadly lost Henrietta March 16, 2008. She will never be forgotten!
