Stillwater Cat Haven continues to be amazed and thankful for all of the support that was generated for Boomer, a cat without ownership thrown from a car into the front yard of a home, and suffering with a broken leg.  When taken to the Gateway Veterinary Clinic the X-ray indicated the break and the estimate to repair was $1800.  Stillwater's resources are limited and we feared Boomer might not be treated without a search for community support.  And we found it particularly through our Facebook page, administered by Volunteer Nanci Sackett, from a Red Rover emergency care donation, a significant donation through the Marin County Ferals non-profit, from a posting on the emergency care support website Poundwishes, a local TV report on KRCR, and the great number of individual donors.  These efforts resulted in a request from People Magazine to place Boomer's situation on their pet page of information which generated our hope that additional funding might occur; to date that posting has produced a request from Florida for adoption, but nothing further!

Boomer has been adopted to a super couple who have added information to our Facebook followers about his progress and character.  This episode has been an amazing example of community support and successful medical treatment.  In the Blog previous to this we listed those who have been a part of this effort.  The following is a list of additional supporters which occurred since that posting:

Steve & Peggy Biro               Rosalind Sumner                 Francie Sullivan & Richard Rosenberry
Shay Yohanan                         Sandra Carreiro                  Janet Ballard
J.C, & L.M. McCarthy             Marianne Leopardo            Dr. & Mrs. Chandramouli
Barbara Ball                            Robert Chase M.D.             Allan Furhman
