I received this handmade card from a very special 6 year old girl after Momoe, our resident sugar glider passed last month. Today we also said goodbye to Jack Jack, a sanctuary rat that had been with us since September 2009, and it made me think back to this thoughtful gesture once again. Each animal that comes into Apple Wood takes a piece of my heart when they leave. Whether their leaving is by adoption or by their passing, we will remember them all. Each one is special, each one deserves the best, and each one will never be forgotten.

Thank you so much to everyone that shares in the ups and downs of this shelter and its animals. We appreciate your support tremendously!

Momoe came to Apple Wood a sickly and skinny sugar glider. He was found as the sole survivor of a group of gliders left to fend for themselves. Momoe has really done well with us, thanks in large part to a good diet and clean environment.

Sometime during the day on 5/16/11, Momoe likely fell from a hammock at the top of his cage. He is currently in ICU at Alameda East being treated for head trauma. They have him in an oxygen enriched enclosure that is being warmed. His blood sugar is low and he’s having trouble keeping his temperature normal.

Please keep Momoe in your thoughts. He will need them to get through this. If you are able to help out, we would greatly appreciate it. The bill so far has been estimated at $700 for the low end. All donations are tax deductible and will go directly to cover the cost of his treatment. Please visit our ChipIn to donate to Momoe’s Vet care.

Thank you for your support and love for the animals in our care!



Update on Momoe

On the evening of 5/17/11 we decided to let Momoe go to the rainbow bridge. He was having seizures and had stopped eating while in ICU. He had fought as much as he could but was unable to come back to where he was before his fall. We will miss him tremendously! Sleep well little one. XOXO
