ANIMAL HEALTH FOUNDATION ANGEL FUND
Angel Fund Helps Rescue
Beba and Alvarado Family
A
few months ago, Laura Alvarado said, her
family noticed a beautiful gray cat spending
time in their backyard in Long Beach.
" The cat looked scared and it was hanging around in
our yard. So we decided to rescue it. It was very friendly
and it came to us, " Laura said. " My mom took the cat in
the house and took care of her. We had never had cats,
just dogs before. We got her the shots she needed and
had her spayed. "
But not long after taking in the cat they named Beba,
a beautiful short-haired gray domestic, the Alvarado family
got some shocking news. Beba was pregnant - and
she needed to have a cesarean section. Leticia, Laura's
mother, had taken Beba to Los Coyotes Pet Hospital,
where she was examined by Dr. Sonah Jo.
In early April, the surgery was performed. None of the
kittens survived. " Dr. Jo told us to give Beba a lot of love
because cats mourn the death of their kittens, " Laura said.
" We have been giving her as much love as we can and
she's doing great. "
The Alvarado family gets by on a limited income. Leticia
had to quit her job to provide care for a son, Gustavo
Jr., who is disabled. Gustavo, the father, can no longer
work and gets a disability check. Laura works as a probation
officer in Riverside. She spends half her days there
and the other half at her parents' home.
Beba
Dr. Jo told Leticia about Angel Fund. " We couldn't
have paid for the surgery without it, " Laura said. " When
Angel Fund was brought to our attention, it was just a
sigh of relief. We didn't think when we rescued Beba,
that we'd have to be so involved financially.
" Angel Fund was really great. What they did for us was
amazing. " The grant was for $232.49, an amount matched
by the hospital. " We were devastated by what happened, "
Laura said. " We didn't know what to do. " Angel Fund
helped provide the Alvarado family with the answer. P
