Courtney needs help! 10 years ago we did a small TNR project on Melrose St. Two of the cats from this project are still going strong despite some recent setbacks. One, Bean, was attacked by a raccoon and had to have a leg amputated. The other, Courtney, has been trucking along well but due to recent weight loss her caretakers took her in to see the vet. They determined she badly needs a dental cleaning and extraction, plus she has hyperthyroidism which will require ongoing medication. The estimate for all this is about $1000. Can you spare a few bucks for an old Bushwick Street Cat? Please donate if you can, either through our donation page (link in bio) or directly to the caretakers' Venmo: @ Lauren-Corry-1 See the last pic for what she looked like when we first trapped her. Thanks both to those who donate and Courtney's amazing caretakers for keeping her going all this time! #helpCourtney #catsofbushwick #feralcat #TNR #seniorcat #seniorferal ❤️ Help Courtney ❤️ You may or may not be familiar with one of Bushwicks local celebrities, a @bushwickcats TNR OG Courtney! She was trapped about 8-9 years ago and has stuck around Melrose street and been under our care with helpful neighbors for over 6 years. She’s very friendly but very outdoors oriented and in her senior years. We noticed she was losing weight and having trouble with eating - brought her to the vet and found that shes luckily FIV/FL negative but a thyroid condition and needs a rotting tooth pulled. Between our house and the neighbor we will be able to manage the meds and fronted costs for her assessment, but need help get her tooth pulled as it may cost up to $1000. Any amount of money donated will go directly to her care. We want Courtney to enjoy her senior years! Accepting cash donations (if you are in the area and want to meet up) or via Venmo. Will post process updates as we get them! Reposted from @caffiend314 instagr.am/p/CoU5OJSORg0/
