Road To Recovery:
Meet Marjorie
We need your help for Marjorie, one of four tiny, seven-week-old puppies we rescued from Animal Control recently.
Upon arrival, Marjorie had a slight runny nose, but within 24 hours, her condition progressed rapidly into full-blown pneumonia symptoms. Unfortunately, this is a common and tragic reality in overwhelmed animal welfare systems. These young puppies have virtually no immune system, and the stress and exposure to germs in a municipal shelter environment can be devastating. This situation highlights the overwhelming challenges facing shelters, not a failure on their part.
We immediately rushed the sweet girl—who didn't even have a name yet—to the Emergency Room.
Answering The Call:
Camper Cat Rescue
A few weeks ago, we responded to a desperate plea from an elderly gentleman struggling with an overwhelming cat population. The situation began after he acquired three unfixed cats from his late mother, which rapidly multiplied into nearly 40 cats living in his small camper. He was going through 150 lbs of food a month and was forced to choose between heating his home and feeding the animals. He had spent years trying to get help, and we committed to stepping in without judgment.
In the past week, we’ve made multiple trips and have brought 39 cats and kittens into our care, with a few more still to catch. This is a massive intake that has pushed our small nonprofit's total animal count to over 200! We are providing spay/neuter, vaccines, and medical care for every cat, and will also assist the gentleman with care for three he will keep.
We are committed to seeing this through, but we urgently need your help to cover the overwhelming costs. Your support allows us to continue providing this compassionate, lifesaving care.
