Luna Was Almost Sent Back to the Streets — We Said No 🌙🐾

Luna is a quiet, gentle soul who spent her life surviving as a community cat. When she began to get sick, kind people stepped in, and a local Facebook group searched desperately for a medical foster. A kind community member opened his heart and his home, agreeing to care for Luna while she fought to heal.

But then the unthinkable happened. The group helping Luna ran out of funds. With no rescue backing her care, the plan was to put Luna back outside — sick, vulnerable, and still in need of treatment. That’s when her foster reached out to Adopt A Cat Foundation. We couldn’t let Luna’s story end like that.

In rescue, Luna’s battle began with severe mange, which left her uncomfortable and depleted. While that was treated, concerns remained about what else might be affecting her fragile body. During a veterinary visit, liver flukes were suspected, a serious parasitic condition that can cause long-term organ damage if left untreated.

Right now, Luna is safe in foster care, finally protected from the dangers of the streets. But safety alone isn’t enough. She still needs ongoing veterinary care, diagnostics, and medication to determine exactly what her body is fighting and to help her truly heal.

Luna didn’t choose to be sick. She didn’t choose to live outside. And she certainly didn’t choose to be forgotten when funds ran dry.

Your donation will help cover:

\\- Veterinary exams and diagnostics - Treatment for suspected liver flukes - Continued medical care while Luna recovers in foster

Every contribution helps ensure Luna never has to be pushed back into survival mode again.

Please consider donating and sharing Luna’s story. Together, we can make sure Luna’s life is guided by compassion — not circumstance — and that this once-forgotten community cat gets the second chance she’s always deserved.

2/12/26 Update

Since coming into our care, Luna has now seen the general veterinarian twice. The encouraging news is that her lab numbers are beginning to come down — a sign that treatment is helping and her body is slowly responding. But with a case as complex as Luna’s, “improving” isn’t the same as “resolved.”

Because she came to us with severe mange and suspected liver flukes — and after spending so long surviving outdoors without medical care — we want to be absolutely certain we are not missing anything. Luna deserves more than guesswork. She deserves thorough, specialized care.

To ensure we are on the very best path forward, we have scheduled an appointment with an internal medicine specialist. This next step will allow us to dig deeper, confirm her diagnosis, evaluate her liver health more comprehensively, and make sure every piece of her treatment plan is exactly what she needs to fully heal.

Luna is safe. She is loved. She is no longer fighting alone. But advanced diagnostics and specialty consultations come at a significant cost. As a small rescue, we rely entirely on donations to say “yes” to care like this.

If you’re able, please consider making a donation to help cover Luna’s specialist visit, additional testing, and continued treatment. Every dollar brings us closer to answers — and brings Luna closer to lasting health.

She was almost returned to the streets when funding ran out. We promised her that would never happen again. Thank you for standing with Luna and ensuring her story continues to be guided by compassion, not circumstance.
