About this campaign

Skid Steer is the last surviving kitten from a tiny litter that has already endured far more than any baby should.

Skid Steer and his siblings, Dump Truck and Pay Loader, lost their mother and were taken into the care of an amazing foster who bottle fed them around the clock. At such a young age, orphaned kittens are incredibly fragile, and even small changes in their health can quickly become serious.

A few weeks ago, Dump Truck became lethargic and was rushed to the ER. He was initially treated for dangerously low blood sugar and responded well enough that his foster was preparing to bring him home. But before he could be discharged, Dump Truck became unresponsive and sadly passed away.

Pay Loader was also struggling to eat and required close monitoring. Despite receiving round-the-clock care and the attention he needed, Pay Loader also passed away.

Losing both kittens was heartbreaking for everyone who had been rooting for them. Their foster did everything possible to give them a chance, but these tiny babies were simply too fragile to overcome the challenges they faced.

Now, all of that care and attention is focused on Skid Steer.

Thankfully, Skid Steer has come a long way, but he still has some growing to do before he is ready for the next stage of his journey.

Because kittens need other kittens their age to tumble, play, and learn how to properly socialize, Skid Steer will eventually be introduced to a new group of kitten housemates. First, though, he needs to gain more weight and continue growing stronger.

For now, his foster is providing the specialized care, nutrition, and attention he needs to keep moving forward.

Your donation will help cover Skid Steer’s veterinary care, medications, and foster care as he continues to grow and gain strength.

Skid Steer has already lost his mother and both of his siblings. Now he is the one we're fighting for.

He deserves the chance to grow up, find some kitten friends, and discover that life can be about more than simply surviving.

Please help Skid Steer get stronger and reach his next chapter. Every donation helps provide the care and supplies he needs, and every share can help us reach more people who want to be part of this little survivor’s journey. ❤️
