Daisy: After a Year of Waiting, She Finally Has Help.

At 14 years old, Daisy should have been spending her days comfortable, safe, and spoiled. Instead, this sweet Persian arrived at RU4ME Pet Rescue in desperate need of help after severe matting led to painful injuries that required emergency veterinary care.

For nearly a year, Daisy’s owner had been reaching out to different rescues for help with her grooming needs, but no one was able to take her in. When we received the call and saw photos of Daisy’s condition, we knew we couldn’t turn her away.

When we picked Daisy up, she had been wrapped in packaging tape that was holding several of her wounds together. Her owner had attempted to cut away her severely matted fur and accidentally caused multiple lacerations. We immediately brought Daisy to VEG Emergency Vet, where the veterinary team began the painstaking process of removing the tape and treating the injuries underneath.

It took more than three hours of emergency veterinary care to safely remove the packaging tape, medically groom Daisy, and treat her wounds. Once the tape and matted fur were removed, the extent of her injuries became clear. Daisy required 14 stitches and surgical glue to close her lacerations. She also had an ingrown dewclaw that needed to be clipped and bilateral ear infections that required medication.

After her intensive emergency treatment, Daisy was finally able to leave the hospital and begin recovering in her foster home. We are incredibly grateful to everyone at VEG who worked tirelessly to give this senior girl the care she needed.

We have already paid $1,116.66 for Daisy’s emergency veterinary care, including her medical grooming, wound repair, antibiotics, and ear medications. But her recovery is not over. She still needs suture removal, senior bloodwork, vaccinations, and continued veterinary care.

After spending so long waiting for someone to help her, Daisy finally has people in her corner. She is safe, she is being cared for, and she can begin healing—but RU4ME Pet Rescue needs help covering the cost of her emergency care and the medical care she still needs.

Your donation will help cover Daisy’s emergency veterinary bill and her upcoming medical expenses. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us continue saying yes to animals who have nowhere else to turn.

Daisy has already endured far more than any senior cat should. Now she deserves the chance to heal, be comfortable, and spend the rest of her life knowing she is safe and loved.

Please help us give this beautiful senior Persian the care and second chance she deserves. ❤️
