About this campaign

Leela sought out help after suffering horrible trauma…

Alone, outside in the cold and just 3 pounds, Leela suffered a traumatic head injury, leaving her with a ruptured eye and wounds all over her jaw and head. Too shy to come close, but desperate for help, Leela approached a kind family who offered her food and tried to coax her in.

They reached out for rescue help, and together, we were able to trap this critically ill, helpless kitten. Leela’s rescue was a wonderful whirlwind.

Two rescues, RBARI and A Pathway to Hope, came together and within hours, Leela was trapped, rushed to the vet and had emergency surgery to remove her infected, ruptured eye before infection could take over her tiny body.

Her wounds were treated and stitched. The ongoing concern for Leela is infection, as the wound was deep and covered much of her face. She is slowly recovering and learning to truly trust those humans that she took a chance on, knowing it was her only hope to live.

Leela needs your help! Please donate towards her veterinary care today.
