We had an amazing experience with the ACCT. We found a stray kitten in our yard, with burned, scabbed paws and an abscess on her back. PAWS was booked up, but told us to contact ACCT. Naturally, I was a little hesitant to take the poor kitty to animal control, where I assumed they would immediately put it down. I couldn't have been more surprised. We arrived and waited only a short while- the woman at the desk was kind, compassionate, and very patient. We had wanted to foster the kitten if she was healthy enough, so we went to see the in-house vet. A vet tech met with us and then took our little patient back to see the vet- we waited (in angst, with much hand wringing) for the kitten to return. A short while later, the tech returned and gave us the scoop: they had cut off the scabs on her paws (since they were filled with dirt and would not heal properly otherwise) and had drained her back. But the best news: she was going to be ok and we could take her home! The tech gave us an antibiotic, pain killers, and a soak and salve for her paws, along with detailed instructions. We returned a few days later for a check-up, vaccinations, and the spaying.

While I wanted to do everything I could to help this poor kitten, I was concerned about the cost of her care. Thankfully, the ACCT has an amazing program for stray cats called Safe at Home. If you find a stray cat and would like to keep it, they will vaccinate, spay/neuter, clean ears, and deworm your new friend all for FREE! I was so relieved I nearly cried. (I should note that we will be making a donation to assist their programs. I feel I owe this much to the team at ACCT).

I can now report our little kitten (named July) is doing marvelous. She has come a long way: from a bone-thin animal barely able to stand, to a ferocious, curious kitten who loves to play. Her recovery would not have been possible without the dedication of the ACCT. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff: every single worker, from the desk staff to the vet techs is knowledgeable, kind, and truly love animals. I absolutely recommend the ACCT to anyone in need of a pet!
