About this campaign

Gabriel is just a kitten, but he has already survived something no animal should ever have to endure. This sweet little boy was spotted running in the road when he was struck by a semi-truck. The impact left him severely injured, and he was left on the side of the road, helplessly dragging his back legs.

But Gabriel's story didn't end there. A compassionate Good Samaritan refused to look the other way. They stopped, picked him up, and reached out to The Ranch Rescue for help. Because someone chose to care, Gabriel was given a chance at life.

Gabriel was rushed for veterinary care, where X-rays revealed a clean fracture. Although the accident was devastating, there is reason to be hopeful. His prognosis is looking good, and with the proper treatment, this brave little boy is expected to make a wonderful recovery.

Gabriel will need a hard cast to stabilize his injury, with cast changes every two weeks as he heals. He also needs plenty of strict bed rest, ongoing veterinary monitoring, and the supportive care necessary to help his little body recover.

For now, his days will be filled with rest, medical care, and all the extra hugs and love his rescuers can give him. It is a long way from dragging his injured legs along the roadside, but Gabriel is finally safe. And for the first time since his accident, he has a real chance to heal.

The Ranch Rescue stepped up when Gabriel needed help most, but his recovery will come with ongoing medical expenses. His veterinary examinations, X-rays, cast placement and changes, medications, and follow-up appointments will all add up as he continues healing.

We are asking our amazing Waggle supporters to help cover these expenses and give Gabriel everything he needs to recover. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Your generosity will help ensure that this little kitten receives the medical care and comfort he deserves.

Gabriel has already survived an unimaginable ordeal. Now, he needs our help to get through the next chapter. Please consider donating today and sharing his story.

From being left injured on the side of the road to being safe, loved, and given a second chance at life, Gabriel's journey is a beautiful reminder of why rescue matters.

Let's help this little miracle heal, grow, and enjoy the happy, healthy life he deserves. ❤️🐾

If funds raised exceed Waggle's goal for this featured pet, Waggle will use the surplus to help other animals in catastrophic situations and support our mission to end economic euthanasia.
