Big THANKS to all who have donated on line and through the mail to little Midnight's care and recovery. He's a trooper and is doing amazingly well. His wounds and dislocated jaw are healing. He's managing fine with just one beautiful, big brown eye. He's gaining some much needed weight and despite his 3 weeks ordeal running, being shot with BBs and being hit by a car, he's outgoing, affectionate and very loving, charming everybody he meets. And the best news is that he now has an exceptionally loving home with a special adopter. His adopter was one of the most dedicated and determined people on the search party. They were out day and night for 3 weeks, posting flyers, following every lead to find him and hoping against hope that he would be found safe. The Easter Bunny holding Midnight in one of the attached photos is his new mother ! Midnight says, "Thanks for helping me. Happy Easter to all ! "
Little Midnight came to our rescue when his person died and he was taken to a low adoption shelter. Just a few minutes after arriving at his foster home Midnight pulled a surprise get-a-way. Now he was truly a stranger in a strange land, running scared through the streets, alleys and wooded hillsides of Pittsburgh's Mt. Oliver, Mt. Washington, Arlington and Beltzhoover neighborhoods. For 3 weeks searchers were out night and day; there were many sightings but Midnight was frightened, disoriented and not about to be caught. Sunday evening one of our worst fears for Midnight was realized. He ventured into Rt 51 and was immediately hit by a car. Miraculously, 14 lb Midnight, thought badly injured, survived his encounter with the big, metal machine. He was taken for emergency vet care. Midnight had to have an eye removed, he has a dislocated jaw, lots of cuts and abrasions and some soft tissue injuries. He is recovering amazingly well, eating soft foods, going for very short walks and enjoying care and cuddling from the hospital staff. As all who have companion animals know, vet bills can be considerable. For Midnight we are looking at costs for emergency care for shock and trauma, surgery, hospitalization, medicine, aftercare and follow up vet appointments. Donations to help pay for Midnight's care would be most appreciated. Any monies collected above Midnight's expenses will be used for the medical care of our other rescued animals. Thank you for your consideration.
