Help Hyperthyroid Harry

Recall Harry from a previous post: He is a young, neutered, declawed male who was basically thrown out to fend for himself. The Fort Fairfield police rescued him and brought him to HHPR. After much evaluation and medical attention, it was determined that Harry had a bum thyroid that was preventing him from gaining any weight! We opted to have that gland surgically removed so that Harry could at last have some sort of life. He is recovering very well, every day is getting stronger.

Harry is currently in a foster home where he can find the best sunny spots in the house and gain some self-esteem. He is a very affectionate guy and when he gains weight he is going to be a very, very nice companion.

Kelly Normandin, one of our dedicated, hardworking volunteers (and our Adoption Facility manager) created a fundraising campaign through Indiegogo. The medical bills for Harry were considerable, even with the kind and generous discounts that our Presque Isle Animal Hospital vets often give us with these special cases.

The fundraiser is now closed and you helped us raise $785 for medical expenses. Thank you!!

We still welcome donations for medical expenses for all our special needs cats. See our donation page or mail a check to HHPR, P.O. Box 488, Caribou ME 04736. For the very latest information about our cats and fundraising efforts, visit our Facebook page.
