Ballard, an injured feral cat, was rescued on Memorial Day weekend by Margie and Jeff Carrell. All The Best Pet Care in Ballard is hosting a fundraiser to help pay the medical bill's after Ballard's arm was amputated due to an accumulation of dead tissue.
On Sunday June 7, All The Best Pet Care in Ballard will host a fundraiser event to help cover Ballard the cat’s medical bills, an injured feral cat rescued on Memorial Day weekend.
A rescue mission for Ballard the cat took place by Ballard residents, Margie Carrell and Jeff Isaacs on Memorial Day weekend in a local homeowners yard who had been feeding the cat.
After successfully rescuing him, Ballard was taken to the South Seattle Veterinary Hospital where they decided to amputate his arm.
Ballard’s front paw was four times the size of his other paw so he was immediately taken to surgery, where the vet team realized his arm was full of dead tissue.
Space was made for Ballard at Feral Care, an all-volunteer cat rescue organization and sanctuary, where he is currently recovering for the next two weeks.
Once recovered from the amputation surgery, Ballard will be neutered and released into Feral Care’s sanctuary to live out his life.
The event will feature guest Joy Turner, radio host and animal communicator, pet care information, samples, treats and fun things to purchase to help pay off Ballard the cat’s vet bill.
Money raised will also help support Feral Care’s ongoing efforts to end the cycle of homeless cats.
All The Best Pet Care is located at 1901 N.W. Market St.
Advanced reservation for sessions with Joy Turner can be made by contacting All The Best Pet Care’s Ballard store at 782-1500 or ballard.atb@gmail.com.
