Blanca

Blanca passed away in the early hours of Sunday 12 December 2021.
Since her rescue in 2019, she had been suffering from Mast cell tumors which we had been treating via surgical removal. However it got to the point where they were recurring so quickly, surgery was no longer viable.

We finally managed to source Vinblastin - the only chemo drug available to treat it and we had already given her two sessions.  The tumors were shrinking significantly but her body clearly gave out - or her spirit did.  We are so saddened by this - she was a sweet, gentle but very shy girl.

Run free - pain free - Blanca. You will be greatly missed and we are so so sorry we were too late finding the chemo.  Read more about Blanca's life before and after rescue on her Profile Page.

Blanca Update March 2021

We have been monitoring Blanca this month for signs of her cancer returning and until now she is ok.


She is still very unsociable and tends to run away when we try to go near her.


Rina and Rudylyn are working on trying to get near her by giving her treats but she is really slow to be socialised.


She has been at the shelter for two years already and despite having her in quarantine a number of times she is so resistant to socialisation, but we will not give up!
