about Stewie (march 10-22)

After Stewie the cat, a one year old red tabby shorthair, was treated at an emergency veterinary hospital for severe burns to his face and all four feet, he started his next stage of rehabilitation at a local full-service veterinary hospital. Stewie’s owner, an amputee who uses a wheelchair for mobility and works at a local Walmart, lost everything in the fire except his dog and cat. He was unable to afford Stewie’s escalating veterinary bill after a week of treatment, despite the fact that Stewie was making great strides in his recovery. He had begun to consider euthanasia as an option for his little buddy.

Baltimore Cares About Pets was then contacted by one of Stewie’s doctors to discuss possible options or funding sources for Stewie. Baltimore Cares About Pets was recently established to be able to help with fundraising efforts such as this. BCAP then contacted Spay Maryland.

Spay Maryland is dedicated specifically to providing safe, comfortable spay and neuter procedures for dogs and cats of low-income pet owners, and for feral cats. Spay Maryland is making special accommodations for Stewie’s care, and looking forward to helping him recover and return to the family who loves him. Donations toward Stewie’s care will cover both his remaining balance at the previous hospital, as well as the cost of bandages, medication, and special care provided at Spay Maryland.
