Stars of SAGP: Where are they now? Pt. 2

Remember Buttercup? Her rescue mom writes:

Buttercup is still going strong. She still rules her cage with an iron paw! She is always the first one at the food bowl when it’s refilled, but when I restock hay or bring veggies I make sure I put some right in front of where she is so she doesn’t have to work hard for her share.

She is starting to lose some weight so to maintain we are supplementing with Critical Care and she loves it! Most of her hair is gone now (from the hormone imbalance from ovarian cysts) but she is a confident, mature lady who does not care about how she looks!

And here's a photo of Buttercup enjoying one of the goodies generously donated to her:

URGENT--CT CONNECTION IN DIRE NEED!

I received the following information from CT Connection, a rescue already strapped financially from their recent snow cave-in.

They got a pig in the rescue two weeks ago (Tigger) whose medical bills are going to run close to $1,500 if not more. They've already spent $400. He now needs a CT Scan to see if there's a mass behind his eye, as x-rays didn't work. Depending on this scan, he may need his eye removed.

Please donate what you can. There is no goal set, but I will post our fundraising results. UPDATE: $175 donated so far!

Remember Jujube? This dear girl has finally made a friend, another sanctuary pig named Jana.

Pics below!

(Jujube has also mastered the art of stink-eye!)

And who could forget Cocoa? This handsome man is still available for adoption. View his petfinder listing here: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/18595075

Don't forget Deputy Doofy, who has also made a friend! Her name is Sugar, a five year old arthritic pig who is getting along very well with the paralyzed Doofy. Picture below.

UPDATE FOR ROCKY!

So far we've raised $360.17 out of $360! We've reached our goal and then some!

Thanks so much to everyone who has donated and shared Rocky's story.

UPDATE: A very generous donor, moved by The Critter Connection's plight, has offered a $25 matching donation. Please take advantage of this opportunity! UPDATE: Donation MATCHED!
