Trooper's fund recipient

Marmalade is a ginger tabby who was lost. He was brought into the Upper Credit Humane Society in July 2022. Attempts were made to reunite him with his family, unfortunately no one claimed this sweetheart.

He was brought to the vet, neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Marmalade developed an ear infection.  Ear infections cause pain and discomfort, and the ear canals are sensitive. This sweet tabby endured several  rounds of medications, and despite our best attempts to help Marmalade recover from the chronic ear infections he suffered from, his ears weren’t responsive to the treatments.

The Veterinarian flushed his  ears, and while under sedation, a growth was discovered in Marmalade’s ear canal. The next step to alleviate Marmalade’s pain is called a TECA-BO. Total ear canal ablation and bulla osteotomy (TECA-BO) is a surgery , performed by a specialist. It removes a cat’s ear canal and eardrum and drains the middle ear. It’s used when chronic ear infections don’t respond to other treatments and to remove polyps or tumors from the cat’s ear.

Without the support of donations to Trooper’s Fund, this type of care can not be provided to the animals that we shelter.
