Please help, if you can.

This is Orestes, my incredibly special fur child. He is in desperate need of a surgery to widen his urinary tract because of a chronic illness called struvite crystals. Even with an incredibly strict prescription diet to control his condition, the struvite crystals have grown and blocked his urinary tract 4 times in his short life.

He is going into the animal hospital for the 3rd time this week for struvite crystals blocking his urinary tract. He is refusing to eat or drink anything and is very lethargic. If left untreated, he will die.

Orestes has already been hospitalized for several days over night, had a catheter put in, been put on IV, been put on many medications, and has a prescription diet… but he’s not improving. He’s declining quickly.

Please help my cat and my family. We have no money left to afford any more treatment or the surgery. We have maxed out our credit cards trying to save him and our savings are depleted. The vet bills are climbing high and Orestes’ health is failing fast.

If you have anything to spare, even $5, it would be beyond appreciated.Anything at all will help us. We are desperate to save him and need any help we can get.

Thank you so much for anything you can give. If you cannot give, please at least pass this message along, reblog it, share it, etc.

Orestes is more than just a pet. He is our child, companion, and my literal life saver. Orestes has helped me through many bad nights and helps me tremendously with my PTSD. I and we cannot cope with losing him.

Again, thank you for any and all help. It is extremely appreciated.

Sincerely,

A. C. / autoimmunityturtle

historical figure: *does something fucked up*
their actual contemporaries: hey, man, that was pretty fucked up
some chucklehead hundreds of years later: if you think this was fucked up, you’re applying a MODERN LENS and furthermore

This pretty young jay arrived at the centre recently after being hit by a car.
It was rushed in to see our vets, who found a badly swollen left eye and blood on the wing. Amazingly, the eye did not seem to be damaged and, after a course of treatment, this quickly improved.
It will stay with us for a little while yet, but hopefully it will be back in the wild soon!

Our little owl has a home!

Our beautiful young little owl has been the subject of much debate recently, but the time has finally come for it to go back where it belongs.

We have been working with another rehabilitation centre, who will get our youngster ‘adopted’ by a wild family and raised for release! Little owls are surprisingly tolerant of newcomers and will often raise the new arrival as their own.

Our owl is being driven to its new home by our vet, Angela, later tonight and we wish it the best of luck in the wild!

We have a baby herring gull!

This spotted youngster arrived at the centre recently after falling out of the nest. Sadly, despite several attempts, its parents could not be located.

It was bright and lively, but had a wound on its leg that required treatment. Our vet team will continue to monitor and medicate it until it is fully healed, then it will stay at WAF until it is old enough for release!

It’s very cute… 🙂

NEW VIDEO!

At this time of year, we get more and more calls to one of our most common types of rescue – a fox cub stuck in a football net.

Luckily, Simon is well-practiced at this and, when we were called to rescue this youngster, he quickly had him removed from the net. The rope has been tightly wrapped around the leg, so to be sure that there was no constriction injury, the cub was taken into a small room so that we could check he could walk.

With a clean bill of health he was finally released back into the wild to go back to his mum!

The DUP is a right-wing populist[5]
party.
It is characterized by its Ulster loyalist position, which it
has staunchly held since its inception. Ulster loyalism, with its aim
for continued inclusion of Northern Ireland in the UK, has been
identified as a type of ethnic nationalism.[42] The DUP has historically been associated with paramilitarism and in recent years has been supported by paramilitary Ulster loyalist groups such as the Ulster Defence Association, the Ulster Volunteer Force and the Red Hand Commando, which have been proscribed terrorist organisations.[43]

The DUP is in favour of a “soft Brexit”, opposes a hard Irish border,[4][45] and wishes to maintain the Common Travel Area.[46]East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson caused controversy in March 2016 during a BBC Spotlight
episode discussing the implications of the EU referendum, when it was
implied that he agreed with a member of the public who said that he
wanted to “get the ethnics out” of Northern Ireland post-Brexit.[47]

The party is socially conservative and has vetoed the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland since 2015, in opposition to the Republic of Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom.[48] Former DUP minister Jim Wells called the issue a “red line”
for power-sharing talks, adding that “Peter will not marry Paul in
Northern Ireland”
, adding “We will strangle that idea at birth …
nobody wants it except Gerry Adams anyway.”[49]

The DUP maintains that it is a “pro-life
party
and have campaigned strongly against any extension of abortion
rights to the country, […].[46][50] They have opposed extra funding for international family planning programmes.[50]
Campaigners say their actions have forced thousands of women to travel
elsewhere for terminations, or to rely on abortion pills bought online.[46]

The DUP has previously appointed a climate change denier as environment minister in Northern Ireland, and it counts a number of creationists among its senior members.[46]

They made the National Trust list creationism as the cause of various notable rock formations in Northern Ireland, and if you search for the word “abortion” on their website your IP address gets blocked

Dear god. Thank you for these valuable, batshit additions.
