Creamsicle was rescued from a tree and needs lots of medical attention. Will you help?

Creamsicle was found stuck high in a tree in Paterson, terrified, injured, and unable to get down. Her rescue from the treetops brought RBARI one more tiny medically needy kitten during this relentless kitten season.

Thanks to the combined efforts of the Paterson Fire Department and Paterson Animal Control, Creamsicle was safely rescued. RBARI took over her medical care and rehabilitation upon rescue, as it quickly became clear she had been through an ordeal before climbing the tree.

Creamsicle has an ulcer on one eye, an upper respiratory infection, and painful burns on her paw pads. Her feet were raw and it was painful to walk. They don’t yet know what caused the burns, but exposure to extreme heat or a chemical is suspected.

Creamsicle is on crate rest as she is treated for her eye and respiratory infections and the painful burns on her feet. This sweet, gentle kitten has been wonderful for her baths, medication, and wound care.

Creamsicle arrived at one of the hardest points of kitten season.  Their foster homes are full. Their cages are full. Supplies are disappearing faster than they can replace them, medical expenses continue to climb, and their volunteers and fosters are exhausted—yet kittens like Creamsicle continue to need these caretakers every day.

RBARI wants and needs to keep saying yes.  And with you by their sides, they can. If you can donate even the smallest amount, it would make the biggest difference. Thank you.
