This is the reality of life on the streets. The cat in this photo was trapped as part of our ongoing TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts — but it was immediately clear she’s not just another feral needing a spay... she was very sick, possibly facing eye removal, and suffering from an untreated infection. 😿

Thanks to a generous grant from the City of Chandler, the basic spay/neuter surgery is covered. But sadly, any additional care — like pain medications, antibiotics, or emergency procedures — is not.

We’re asking for your help to raise emergency funds to cover cats like her who are quietly suffering in silence. Some say, “they always find a way in the wild.” But finding a way doesn’t mean they don’t suffer. And if we have the ability to intervene and relieve pain, shouldn’t we?

Our feral-focused fund will cover:

Pain meds and antibiotics not included in city services 💊
Emergency procedures like eye removal 🏥
Post-surgical recovery care
Future urgent cases for TNR-trapped cats who need more than just a spay or neuter
Antibiotics
Kennels, food, and litter 🙏

Most of our rescue’s funding goes toward kittens — food, vaccines, litter, and daily care for the tiniest lives. But sometimes, it’s a cat like this one who needs help right now — and we want to be able to say yes.

Please consider donating, even just a few dollars. Your support means a feral cat doesn’t have to suffer simply because they were born outside. 💛
