is with great sadness that I finally could write this post to let you all know that our beloved Molly has passed on.
Molly was a malnutritioned kitten who was found eight months ago on the sanctuary grounds starving and looking for food. We took her in and gave her medical attention and lots of love and care and she blossomed into a beautiful, happy little girl.
When we first saw Molly , she looked very skinny and her coat looked white instead of black like the color she was. Eight months later she had gained weight and her coat was beautiful and shiny,
But Molly suddenly died after she was treated with Revolution to kill fleas and mites. The directions on the package stated that the product was safe for cats that were heartworm positive and although we had no idea that Molly could have possibly been infected with heartworm, in trying to do some good and give her some relief from the fleas, we treated her with the product but because she did have heartworms like the autopsy revealed, Molly died.
We did not get the chance to say goodbye to our little girl as her death was sudden. But Molly touched our hearts and brought happiness to our lives. She was an Angel of Joy!
Mosquitoes and heartworm are a sad reality in the tropics and since there is only so little funds for food and vet service, we cannot afford to buy heartworm prevention on a monthly basis, not to mention that this product is not sold in Belize.
We try to give our furry ones the best life possible by giving them a little bit of haven at PAW, without PAW they would have had an even shorter life span as many animals are poisoned, shot, tortured, or attacked by dogs, sadly however, heartworm is still taking our kitties away and there is nothing that we could do.
If anyone would like to donate heartworm prevention for our sanctuary residents or know of an organization that may be able to donate, please have them contact us at pawanimalsanctuarybelize@yahoo.com
We will always love you Molly!
