Maxine's endured horrific suffering, and she needs your help!

She's covered in painful chemical burns, and it hurts to move.

One By One Animal Advocates saved Maxine after a series of terrible events.

"Imagine spending your whole life confined in a small cage, with no freedom to explore or experience the joys of being a cat," Heather A., with the nonprofit group, tells Waggle. "That's exactly what Maxine endured until she was surrendered to be euthanized."

It was suspected stress and ear mites were causing health problems for the sweet cat. But things only got worse when an attempt was made to treat her with medication.

"Instead of providing relief, it caused a horrific chemical burn, leaving her with an open, bloody wound and singeing off her whiskers," Heather says.

But now, Maxine is safe with One By One Animal Advocates. "She has been through a lot, and now we have the opportunity to truly change her life for the better," Heather says.

With your help and support, we can give Maxine the veterinary care and love she needs to heal from her physical wounds and regain her trust in humans. Thank you for your support!
