On Thursday 20 June 2024, at 1am Sheera lost her fight with cancer, had a seizure and died.
We rescued her because she was reported with a huge wound on her leg. When we assessed her and did tests, we found it to be a form of mast cell cancer.

Sheera RIP
The cancer had not spread and given her young age (around 2 to 3) we wanted to give her a chance. Amputation was not an option as the location of the cancer meant there would be no ability to close the surgery wound. We started her on chemotherapy and the tumor shrank a little but it was slow. We decided to use a different combination of chemo drugs.
We did consider euthanasia but she had such a good appetite and was in no obvious distress, we continued trying. It was a shock to us when she simply gave up the fight she had fought so bravely.
Run free Sheera. We hope you carry the love we had for you with you wherever you are
Sheera RIP
