About this campaign

Stella was found alone, injured, and in pain. Her head was badly wounded, the area around her ear raw and inflamed. The wound looked like a burn or abrasion, though the exact cause is unknown. What is clear is that she had been suffering for some time before someone found her and got her the help she needed. ACF Animal Rescue stepped in immediately to begin medical care and ensure she wouldn’t endure another day in pain.

Upon intake, Stella was underweight and clearly uncomfortable. Her injury required prompt attention, including daily cleaning, antibiotic therapy, and pain management. The wound was deep and dangerously close to her ear canal, raising concerns about long-term tissue damage. She is currently undergoing regular wound therapy and is being closely monitored to ensure proper healing.

Stella has handled her treatment with patience and resilience. Though she remains quiet and cautious, she allows wound care and seeks out gentle human contact during her recovery. Her appetite is improving, she’s gaining strength, and her condition is slowly stabilizing. With continued care, she has a strong chance of full recovery.

ACF Animal Rescue is committed to providing Stella with everything she needs to heal, but ongoing treatment comes at a cost. Donations will directly support her medical care, medications, and supportive recovery. With your help, Stella can continue on the path to healing and finally leave this painful chapter behind.
