An Extra Special Lady
Special doesn't even begin to describe how amazing this little lady is, but the name fits her pretty well. At just 4 months old, Special was found dragging herself around a parking lot. A Good Samaritan brought her to the Seal Beach Animal Care Center and off to the vet we went! It was discovered that she had two severely fractured hips, which would require the skills of an orthopedic surgeon to repair. Although this was a very expensive surgery ($4500), Special had a bright spirit and a strong will, so there was no question that we had to give her every chance at a normal life.
Just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks for adopting out to us the most wonderful kitty in the world. Icarus is a true love bug and fits in so nicely with our little family. He gets along with his kitty sister Kali and loves his doggy brother Opie. He is very much at home and has really brought tremendous joy to all of us. Thank you to all for hand raising such a loving little boy! For those who are considering adopting a cat, I highly recommend taking your time and meeting and greeting all the kitties.
Putting your beloved pet on the acupuncturist's table may seem as wacky as taking him to a Yoga class, but even mainstream veterinarians recognize that animal acupuncture isn't as bazaar as you might think, but rather an effective alternative therapy that can help pets lead healthier and possibly even longer lives. Veterinary acupuncture, practiced in China since the tenth century B.C. on horses, has recently grown more popular in the United States. "Today, more than 50 percent of vets have either practiced acupuncture or referred a patient to one who specializes in it," says Huisheng Xie, D.V.M., director of the University of Florida's veterinary acupuncture program. Vets use acupuncture on all kinds of creatures, including iguanas and birds.
