Motion: To approve the minutes from January 16, 2020. Passes.
ACO's Report
• Jeff took Skittles to Mansfield Animal Hospital because volunteers had observed
Skittles straining in the box. The vet could not feel a blockage, and since the bladder was
small, could not get a urine sample. Skittles received a convellia injection in case he has
a urinary tract infection. We will observe him for a week, and reschedule his neutering.
• George is not ready for adoption; he is still too fearful. Trainers are working with him.
There is a possibility he could go to a foster home or a rescue. George is not yet up to
date with vaccinations.
• Bentley can be walked and handled by volunteers. Because he is obese, he could use
extra walks. He should not have public visitors, and volunteers should not answer any
calls on Bentley, who is on hold pending a Foxboro court case.
• Ella has two more weeks before her applicants can take her home.
• Jeff recommend reevaluating Kimmie's situation at the next AWC meeting.
• Bink still sounds raspy, and perhaps that is his usual state. The person who found him
will take Bink back late next week.
Cats'
• Volunteers report seeing extreme amounts of urine in Chuckles' box. Dr. Trapani had
requested blood and urine tests for him.
• Stardust is getting weekly B12 sub-Q injections, which Sharon will give on Saturday
mornings.
