Thanks to you all for caring for the needs of sweet Rizzo, he was able to get the care he desperately needed. He is now healing fantastically and has found a little family of cats to hang with while he awaits his forever home.

About this campaign

When your rescue partner messages you “I just found the tiniest kitten, and I don’t think he’s going to make it.” You spring into action without hesitation.

Meet Rizzo. This tiny guy has already turned out to be a huge miracle.

It turns out what Rizzo needed most was a human to notice him, scoop him up and give him a chance. Almost immediately, he started chowing down on Fancy Feast like it was his JOB.  It became very clear, very quickly that this little man wanted to live, so Flying Pigs is going to give him that chance.

Like so many kittens born into feral colonies, Rizzo had gotten lost in the shuffle and separated from his mama very early on. Thankfully, he was already eating wet food, which meant we could immediately get him into foster care and give him the one-on-one attention he desperately needed.

Rizzo came to us terribly congested, with eyes that were in rough shape. We got him to the vet, started treatment, and while he’s still battling an upper respiratory infection, his spirit is HUGE. 

And because apparently the universe decided we needed a whole collection of single kittens at once, we introduced them to each other and they’ve quickly become the sweetest little family.

Now we need your help getting Rizzo across the finish line.

We need to cover his vet bills, medications and eventually his neuter so this tiny survivor can head off to his forever home.

Please consider donating to Rizzo’s Second Chance. Because sometimes all it takes is someone willing to say, “Let’s try.”
