Hoarding Cats

Please support Castaway Critters in two back-to-back hoarding situations.

Harrisburg, PA • Castaway Critters, The James A. Hueholt Memorial Foundation for Animals

Castaway Critters is assisting with not one but two cat hoarding situations. About a month ago, they were contacted about a bunch of cats and kittens in someone's home. Another rescue was able to take some of the cats and Castaway Critters took the rest. They successfully took in a mother cat and 8 kittens. They are all very, VERY sick with severe URI's and eye infections. They were started on antibiotics, eye medications, and supportive care immediately. Not too long after, they were contacted by another rescue about over 30 cats and kittens in a trailer park that were all in need of medical care and being fixed. They took 10 kittens from that situation. They were polluted with fleas, had severe URI's, were emaciated, had ringworm, had severe eye infections, and are full of worms. These two hoarding projects, which include the medical rehab and getting them all ready to be adopted will cost approximately $5,000. Teamwork makes the dream work. When rescues pull together and help each other, we make a real difference in the lives of the animals that need us most. This is a MAJOR financial burden on top of 19 animals that now need care around the clock. With your help, these kittens will grow to be beautiful and loving pets but first, they need to heal and recover. Any donation of any amount would be greatly appreciated and put directly towards the medical needs of these precious souls. Thank you.

Tchotchke, Trinket, Knick-Knack

Tiny Kittens. Endless Medical Needs.

Oakland, NJ • Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge

Kitten season is well underway, and already at RBARI we are overwhelmed. We received a call about three very young orphaned kittens suffering from respiratory infections. We never want our animals to be sick, but especially not when these babies are so young and just trying to survive. When they arrived, we quickly realized one baby was in far worse condition. The tiny female kitten had suffered a traumatic injury leaving part of her leg missing. She was battling infection, with exposed bone requiring immediate medical attention. All three kittens, Tchotchke, Trinket, and Knick-Knack, were rushed to the hospital. Doctors determined there was not enough healthy skin to close Trinket’s leg. For now, the focus is on controlling infection, keeping her comfortable, and helping her grow strong enough for the amputation surgery she will need. Even through everything she has been through, Trinket is bright and fighting hard right alongside her brothers. We know a fighter when we see one. Caring for fragile bottle babies, especially with special medical needs, requires devoted care, medications, supplies, veterinary treatment, and even in Trinket’s case, major surgery. Kitten season is relentless. The calls never stop. The emergencies keep coming through our doors. And every time we say yes to babies like Trinket, we are relying on you to help us keep going. Kittens will continue to pour through our doors this kitten season - completely dependent on rescue to survive. With your help we can continue to to say yes to more and more of these cases. Help us get through another kitten season and put these babies in loving homes.

Bart

Bart is a 1 year old Bombay in Greenville , SC, who needs $1,200 for Femoral Head Ostectomy FHO.

Greenville, SC

I adopted Bart and his siblings at the humane society because my heart strings were pulled. They were spayed and neutered and had all their shots. From what I know they were surrendered as kittens. When I got them they were on the older side of a kitten. I adopted them and brought them home. All was good until… Little did I know that neutering a male cat at a young age will not let their bones grow to be strong. So my precious Bart has broken a hip at a young age. I got that surgery done a month ago and put him on a diet. He is losing some weight but somehow broke his other hip and I can’t afford another surgery. I’m passionate about my babies and don’t like to see them suffer. Bart is special to me because he’s solid black and most people bypass solid black cats because they think they’re evil or have some sorta bad luck to them. I don’t. I love them! He gives my hand the best kisses whenever I pet him. I just KNOW he’s telling me thank you for adopting him. I love him forever. I would love to pay it forward someday. Please help my baby, Bart. It’s a sudden expense that I am not going to be able to cover. I wish I could have all the money up front. We’ve all been in situations where something comes up. I didn’t not expect him to break his other hip during recovering

20 Cats for TNVR

Please Support a Lifesaving Solution for Community Cats

Royal Palm Beach, FL • Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue

Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue is launching a TNVR (Trap–Neuter–Vaccinate–Return) program—one of the most effective and humane ways to manage community cat populations. Across the U.S., there are an estimated 60–100 million stray cats. Without intervention, they continue to reproduce, spreading disease, facing starvation, and overwhelming shelters. TNVR stops this cycle: it prevents overpopulation, improves cat health, reduces euthanasia rates, protects wildlife, and benefits entire communities. This rescue's volunteers donate their time, and their vets perform procedures pro bono—but they need your help to cover the surgery, medication, and equipment costs. Every dollar goes directly toward saving lives and creating a healthier future for both cats and people. 🐾 With your support, we can make a lasting difference. Please consider donating to help launch this critical program today and help improve the lives of these 20 cats. Thank you!

Lottie

Lottie is a 15 year old Turkish Angora in Wayland, MA, who needs $2,000 for Surgery.

Wayland, MA

Lottie has lived with me since adoption from Dakin Animal Shelter in 2013. His name started as “Baby" then at the shelter "Bobby"-I called him “Laddie,” which became Lottie. His family includes my husband, Joe, our 9yr-old daughter, Eloise, his adopted cat brother, Marty, & me. Lottie is the heart of our home & is most content ruling from his cat tower, surveying his domain w/ calm confidence. Lottie was recently diagnosed with a nodule obstructing his small intestine (jejunum) and underwent surgery at BluePearl Hospital. The mass was removed and biopsied, and another suspected cancerous lesion was left in place due to surgical risk. We now await histology and anticipate oncology care for likely cancer. Lottie is endlessly affectionate and deeply bonded to us. He follows us around, rides in a cat backpack, and naps in our laps. He cuddles our daughter, talks to us constantly, and is always up for a snack or adventure. He brings peace, laughter, and comfort wherever he goes, and he always knows when someone’s sad and finds his way to their side to help. I had to leave my job in April for personal reasons and haven’t yet secured stable full-time work. Lottie’s medical bills have exceeded $10,000, and we can’t afford ongoing treatment. He’s my support animal and my family’s heart & we want to give him the care he deserves.

Chickadee

Please Support Chickadee's 3 Surgeries

Berlin, MD • Community Cats Coalition

Chickadee is a 10-year-old stray that was taken in by Community Cats Coalition. Sadly, her owners failed this very sweet kitty. She was on death's door, just skin and bones, and had one eye that needed to be removed. On top of that, her mouth was full of infection. The rescue had to take her to a dental specialist, where they were told the surgery she would need to treat her mouth would cost in the vicinity of $2,000! Community Cats Coalition desperately needs your help to get Chickadee's blood work done, x-rays of her mouth, and dental surgery. So far, she has gained weight and has been cleared for surgery. She will undergo three different surgeries. One to have her eye removed, one for her spay, and one for her dental. She is currently on antibiotics to bring the raging infection down, but the rescue has been informed she will need a full extraction. Chickadee is the sweetest little girl, showing affection to her caretakers and lots of purring, even after everything she has been through in her life. This rescue's funds are being stretched thin with the high number of cats they have taken in, and they desperately need your help to fund Chickadee's life-saving surgeries. Please don't wait to be her hero. Every donation will go towards her medical care and will put her on the road to recovery to find her forever home. Thank you!

Aries

Aries is a 5 year old Mix-Breed in Springdale, PA, who needs $2,000 for Hospitalization, Amputation and Blood Transfusion.

Springdale, PA • Paws Across Pittsburgh

Aries is a 5 year old kitty who came to us when his owners could not afford to get him the veterinary care that he needed. They decided the best option was to surrender him as they knew they couldn't get him the care that he desperately needed. He is currently residing in one of our loving foster homes. Aries came to us with a wound on his paw that would not stop bleeding. He became severely anemic and needed to be hospitalized at Blue Pearl Pittsburgh North. After many inconclusive tests, the doctors decided to amputate his toe, which stopped the bleeding. He also needed blood transfusions due to the anemia. We are monitoring him closely, but he has good prognosis with continued supportive care. Aries is a super sweet kitty who loves attention and wants to be near his humans at all times. He is very social and enjoys being around other kitties. Despite all of his struggles, he is a purring machine and loves to rub up against his foster mom for head scratches. He is a wonderful example of the resilience of cats. As a nonprofit rescue, we rely solely on donations to fund our medical bills. We will never turn away an animal due to a medical issue or cost. We will do anything we can to raise the funds needed for their care. We believe every animal deserves a chance!
