Delaware Humane Association Dexter needs your help!

Dexter (originally named Gabriella until "she" was determined to actually be a "he"!) is a five week old kitten who came to DHA after he was found homeless during the huge snowstorm that recently hit our area and brought to DHA. Weak and  dehydrated, his siblings were n...ot saved in time, and he almost didn't make it either. For the past couple of days he has been fighting for his life at Windcrest Animal Hospital, and thanks to the great care of the staff there as well as his foster mom, he is on the road to recovery! As you can imagine, the intensive care he needed to survive quickly became expensive. If you're able to donate a dollar or more for his vet bill, please contact DHA's Sandy Leigh at (302) 571-8171 ext. 307 . You can also mail a check (please note that it's for Dexter), or just stop by the shelter. Thanks for your support, and pass it on! Pictures: 1) Happy to have warmth and food on first day at DHA, 2) In treatment at Windcrest 3) Still at Windcrest but on the road to recovery! See and download the full gallery on posterous

LOL, that happened to me when I adopted "Otis" from DHA, who turned out to be a girl. She was an orange tabby which I understand are usually boys.

PLEASE PLEASE call Sandy 302-571-8171 to donate as little as a dollar on a credit card, or mail a check to DHA for Dexter's hospital bill!!! Be sure to note "Dexter's Helping Hands." And THANK YOU to all of you who already have done so! It looks like he's gonna make it but we've got a hefty invoice to pay now. $1 from 100 people is $100 - not rocket science - you really can make a difference!
