Thanks to you, Flying Pigs got Cindi fully vetted and healthy enough to begin the next chapter of her life. Then, with the help of one of their amazing rescue partners, she made the journey all the way to Rhode Island in search of the forever home she had always deserved. And boy, did she find it. 🥹 A vet tech met Cindi and fell head over heels in love. The little one-eyed momma who had spent her young life surviving and raising babies was finally someone’s baby.

About this campaign

When Flying Pigs Sanctuary first met Cindi—with an “I”—she was barely more than a kitten herself.

She was living in a colony of 15 adult cats and 15 kittens—30 cats, all friendly, all desperate for love, and all needing someone to step in and change the trajectory of their lives.

And Cindi was a momma.

She was skinny, covered in fleas, missing an eye, and clearly had already experienced more hardship in her short life than any animal should. But none of that stopped her from being an incredible mother.

Her babies came first. Always.

She cared for them like a pro, keeping them fed, safe, and loved while her own little body desperately needed care.

So we made Cindi a promise: Take care of your babies, sweet girl, and then it’s YOUR turn.

Once her kittens were old enough to be weaned, Flying Pigs got Cindi fully vetted and healthy enough to begin the next chapter of her life.

But unfortunately, these exams come with a cost. Every time they say YES to a momma cat like her, they take on the cost of exams, vaccines, testing, flea treatment, medications, spay surgery, and whatever else she needs to leave her old life behind.

Please consider donating toward Cindi’s veterinary expenses. Your donation doesn’t just help pay the bill—it helps make sure that when the next skinny, exhausted momma cat is found trying desperately to keep her babies alive, we can look at her and say: “Yes. We’ll help you too.”
