“Another happy story from our Cal for All Animals grant was Tuxedo (‘Tux’), a young kitten with a severely injured leg. Tux had been surrendered to Tuolumne County Animal Control, and they reached out to their rescue partners to find a transfer opportunity.
“Because we knew we had our grant funding available, we accepted Tux and had him seen by a veterinarian immediately. It was decided that the best course of action for Tux was amputation of the limb (he had a severe fracture on one of the growth plates), and he recovered beautifully.
“Tux was adopted about three weeks post-surgery and is living the good life in Angels Camp with his new mom and a Shih Tzu ‘sister.’”

“It’s impossible to express how much the discretionary funds of our Cal for All Animals grant not only helped pets in medical need, but improved the psychological well-being of our staff and volunteers. Knowing that a medical situation wasn’t a crisis, and that we could comfortably pay for it, was immeasurably valuable.
“Similarly, the ability to say ‘yes’ to transfers of pets with pre-existing medical conditions from other shelters was an absolute joy.”
