A Cart For Bella

The rescue group where momma bean has volunteered in the past, http://www.towncats.org/ recently put a lady by the name of Gail in touch with us. Gail was going out of town for the holidays and desperately needed to find someone to watch one of her special needs rescues for the two weeks while she was away. Hence, Bella, the special needs kitty will be staying here with us for the holidays...

Bella was found severally injured, in a Target parking lot. It appears as though she may have been run over...Bella has no use of her back legs and is incontinent. Despite her injuries, Bella moves very quickly, and remains a very sweet little girl. We have only known her over night, but when we pet her, she just purrs and purrs...

To give everyone a better idea of the kind of injuries Bella faces, momma bean shot these videos of Bella. You will have to watch closely, because this little one REALLY moves!






Unfortunately, because Bella has no choice but to drag her back legs, Bella gets many sores on her legs, from the constant rubbing on the ground, and has a very sore and swollen anus. The only way to prevent the sores, would be to stop the dragging, and in order to do that we need a special cart/wheelchair for her.

Eddie's Wheels has such a cart, but because of Bella special needs, she will need a rolling stirrup to hold up her back legs, and diaper covers/wraps made to work with the cart, the cart costs approximately $400.00. We would love nothing more than to give Bella a BIG Christmas miracle, get her a cart and find her a very caring and loving home, but we need your help! If you can spare a little money to furever change Bella's life, even if it is just a dollar or two, Bella will be forever grateful for your generosity and kindness!

If you can and would like to help, please use the special Paypal donation button set up for Bella below! Thank you so VERY, VERY much!

UPDATE:

Thanks to all the very kind, wonderful, and generous people out there, Bella will be getting her Christmas miracle. As of this afternoon, we have received enough in donations to get Bella her cart!!! Thank you so very much to everyone who helped make this happen! You have forever changed this little girls life!!! We will be measuring Bella and placing an order for her new cart tonight! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts and a BIG thank you from Bella herself!

You certainly do care about the less fortunate kitties. What a wonderful gift that would be, if you could give Bella a cart. She certainly DOES move fast!

Daisy said...

Whoa! Bella sure gets around quickly! I am so glad you are able to care for her over the holidays. I sure hope Bella gets her special cart. We can help a little bit!

Oh what a little sweetheart! Possumlady will have to donate as she has a big soft part in her heart for black kitties, having four of my own!!

What an angel Bella is. We are purring she gets her Christmas miracle. She sure is a spunky little girl. We will see what we can do to help.

We are very glad Moki is doing better. We are purring for his continued improvement.

Wow! Nothing will get Bella down. We hardly ever move that fast and we have use of all our legs. We hope for her Christmas miracle but watch out for anyone in her way when she has wheels.

We have a miniature poodle named AnnaBelle who is paralyzed from her waist down. We bought her a wheelchair / car from Doggone Dogs. She had a freak accident ... jumped off a low twin-sized bed like she did every day but this one day she landed wrong. At least that is what we guess happened as we found her paralyzed from the waist down later that evening and she was in that same bedroom. It has been 2 years now and she is still strong and healthy. AnnaBelle is completely incontinent and in diapers as well. If we weren't so strapped right now with our own vet bills, we would surely contribute to Bella's cart. Maybe we can contribute a bit later on! THANK YOU for helping her out!

KC and the Giggleman Kitties said...

Wow, can that little girl move. I didn't see that coming, either.
We gave a bit toward her cart, she will be heck-on-wheels when she gets that thing. You'll have to name it the Silver Bullet or something.

Bella certainly does move fast. She is really having fun with that toy in the first video. I think I can spare a little something to help. I hope she does get her Christmas miracle.

missfinn said...

We donated a few green papers to help Bella get the cart she needs to get around. Bless her heart!! And bless yours for taking care of her during the holidays!

We wanted to let you know that we have moved. Our new location is http://thecreekcats.blogspot.com/

Angel Junior, Orion and Sammy said...

OMC!!! Bella is such a sweetie! And she really does move VERY fast! Meowm has to send you some green papers this weekend for auctions so she will include a little extra to go to Bella.

Jans Funny Farm said...

We don't have any green papers to help but we did post about Bella yesterday. We so hope she gets her Christmas miracle.

And we love the 2 videos you've added. She is such a spunky little kitty.

A friend of our had to go in a wheel chair for the last two years of his life - you can see a little picture of it here:

but we don't even want to think about how fast Bella will get around with wheels on!!!! We hope she will get her X-mas present!

Tesla and Hansel said...

Hey there, we will be back with some more money- we are trying to get paypal to work- we have 87 dollars to deposit from the blanket raffle! Of course that was for MOKI so i will be donating that directly to your account. I will try to find some green papers to send you--- our kitchen recently kinda blew up on us, killed a bunch of appliances, needless to say, a bunch of papers later, its finally fixed. But, i don't have any extra cash. BUT, i will still find a way to get some to this adorable little critter. WHAT speed she has! Poor kid. You have anything to put on her bottom? Try some neosporin? dr.s always seems to say thats alright! Try some on her poor little legs for now until we can get her that cart.

Jans Funny Farm said...

Oh, my. We were pleasantly surprised to read on the CB you are over halfway there, but when we come by, you are only $67 short of your goal. Wonderful!

Motor Home Cats said...

Wow, she is fast. We also want to see how fast she will be able to go when she finally gets her wheels. Mom says we can contribute on Monday. We think you are wonderful for what you are doing.

This is so kind of you to help Bella this way. She's a spunky madam for sure. With a cart she'll be running about at the speed of light!

Poppy Q said...

Bella is very sweet, and it is awesome that you are able to help out her mom by taking care of her. Your beans are angels.

We have made a small payment, and hope it helps towards a buggy for Bella.

Smooches to you all.

Cafe Cats said...

One of the ones that came before us was named Squash. She didn't have use of her back legs either. This is an amazing thing that you're doing for Sweet Bella and Mama put some green papers in the donate button to try to help.

Looks like you only had $67 to go before PoppyQ and us, so hopefully you're almost there!

AngelJosiesMom said...

Bless you, Moki & Bella. I am so very impressed with such loving and caring people such as yourself, and I am humbled. My husband & I have donated some money to help you reach your goal. It is not a lot, but if everyone gave something she would be in her cart faster.
Merry Christmas to you all!

Bella is so sweet! That is great news that you have enough funds for a wheelchair for her.

Karen Jo said...

I am so glad that Bella will get her Christmas miracle. This is great. Bella will be going so fast with her cart that you won't be able to catch her on video any more.

Mo and The Purries said...

This post just made me bawl.
I'm late in donating - but sending some green papers, too.
Try some witch hazel on her poor sore bum. It will help ease the swelling and soreness.

You are an angel here on earth.

Much LOVE,
Mo
