This year, we have taken nearly 350 cats into our care, including neonates who had to be bottle-fed around the clock, adult cats requiring urgent surgery and seniors with medical needs.
We are so close to our objective of helping 400 cats in 2023. With your support, we can exceed this goal, take on more challenging special-needs kitties and save even more cats' lives in 2024!
Become a monthly supporter: commit to your choice of donation amount each month, and provide us a dependable base of support and ressources to take in special-needs cats whenever they need help.
No matter what size, all regular donations make a huge difference for us.
Let's talk about Debbie
Debbie was brought to our partner shelter in late August. She was covered in fleas, she had lice, and a wound on her tail was filled with maggots. She had an upper respiratory infection that was so severe, she could barely breathe. She hadn't eaten in days and could barely lift her head. The shelter knew that we have the ability to take on unique medical cases and reached out personally to ask if we were willing to take on this girl.
So we did. Debbie was syringe fed around the clock. She spent several days on oxygen. She received plasma injections. She was completely blind when she came to us and had scarring on both eyes so she got serum drops. Over the past three months, her fur filled in and she can see. Last month, she got a nasal flush, x-rays, and was checked for polyps. After a long course of antibiotics and steroids, she's as good as she will ever be. She is perfectly imperfect. All that remains of her worst days is some scarring on one eye, some tearing, and some mild sniffles. She snores sometimes, but who doesn't like a pudgy snoring kitten?
This type of care requires a lot of resources. It's time - it's taken 3 months to get her to this point, three months of sleepless nights, vet visits, and daily meds; it's energy - it takes an emotional toll whenever we take in a sick cat; it's money - the nasal wash alone was over $1k and doesn't include the other vet visits, the meds, and the resources of our team members. The only reason we're able to do the first two is because you helped us with the last one. Debbie wants to say thank you for helping her.
