Providing Emergency Care<br />

In loving memory…<br />

On September 30 th , Olivia passed away<br />

and crossed the Rainbow Bridge.<br />

She will be incredibly missed,<br />

but her legacy will continue<br />

to help other animals in need of care.<br />

Wilder is a 1.5-year-old cat that was transferred<br />

to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League by a local<br />

veterinary clinic. Wilder’s owner surrendered him<br />

to the veterinary clinic when he was unable to<br />

urinate due to a blocked urinary tract. The veterinary<br />

clinic realized what a sweet boy he was and fought to<br />

save him. After the clinic removed the blockage and<br />

he was stable, they brought him to Peggy Adams so<br />

he could find a loving home.<br />

Unfortunately, Wilder blocked again within a few<br />

days at Peggy Adams. He required a specialty surgery<br />

– called a PU (perineal urethrostomy) surgery – that<br />

would allow him to urinate and not block up again.<br />

This is not a surgery that our veterinarians do, but we<br />

were able to call a veterinary surgeon to take care of<br />

him. The surgeon was able to come to Peggy Adams to<br />

perform this specialized surgery.<br />

Thanks to those who support Peggy Adams’ Olivia’s<br />

Fund, we were able to provide Wilder the care that he<br />

desperately needed and will continue to help other<br />

animals like Wilder.<br />

About Olivia’s Fund: Olivia came to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League after being rescued from an animal hoarder. She had<br />

significant hip dysplasia and muscle atrophy from abuse and neglect. Olivia had also been shot with a BB gun and needed surgery<br />

to help repair her legs. In honor of Olivia, we set up a special fund to help give a second chance to dogs and cats with medical and<br />

behavioral issues that can be fixed with surgery, special medical treatment, or training. We decided to call it “Olivia’s Fund.”<br />
