Stevie is a one-month-old Domestic Shorthair kitten in Portage, IN, who needs $1,200 for urgent care.

Hagrid's Hope Cat Rescue received an urgent phone call, a plea for help they could not ignore! The situation was dire.

Someone left a Rubbermaid tote with 12 kittens on the property of an older couple. They called different animal welfare groups desperately trying to get the babies help, but every organization said, "No."

Until they called Hagrid's Hope, a beacon in the face of adversity, who said, "Yes!"

When the rescue got the kittens, they were shocked to see little Stevie and rushed her to an animal hospital.

"She had severe eye infections and is on antibiotics," Jennifer G., with the rescue, tells Waggle. "Seven veterinarians have seen her and agree she is healthy in every other way but needs eye surgery."

Now Hagrid's Hope needs your help. Your support could be the difference in giving Stevie a fighting chance.

"Stevie was born with this eye condition," Jennifer says. "The veterinarians say they cannot in good conscience recommend euthanasia. She can live a full and happy life once the surgery is completed."

The rescue is so impressed with Stevie's sweet disposition.

"Stevie is a sweetheart," Jennifer says. "She loves to cuddle and play with her siblings. She gobbles her food and is full of life and energy. She likes it when our volunteer sings to her and holds her in her arms."

Hagrid's Hope Cat Rescue has been overwhelmed with calls to rescue kittens and momma cats this year. The group is struggling to house, feed, and care for all of the kittens and pay medical costs.

Please give to this campaign to help this hard-working rescue give Stevie a shot at a better future. They are deeply grateful for your support; every contribution, regardless of size, makes a significant impact.
