Muffin

Someone Hurt Muffin. Now This Tiny Kitten Is Fighting for His Life.

Maryland, MD • Paws & Claws Animal Welfare Society Inc.

Muffin should have been spending his days playing, exploring, and discovering the world. Instead, this innocent kitten was found alone on the streets, abandoned, terrified, and suffering from injuries no animal should ever endure. The most heartbreaking injury is a deep, horrific wound across his neck that appears to have been intentionally inflicted. By the time rescuers found him, the wound had become severely infected, filled with pus, and was causing him unimaginable pain. But that wasn't all. Muffin was also dangerously dehydrated and burning with a high fever as his tiny body struggled to fight the overwhelming infection. Without immediate medical care, he may not have survived. He was rushed to the veterinary hospital, where he is now receiving around-the-clock treatment. Veterinarians have started antibiotics, intravenous fluids, pain medication, and wound management to stabilize him. His fever must come down, and the infection must be brought under control before surgeons can safely repair the devastating injury. Once his wound has been thoroughly cleaned and all infected tissue removed, Muffin will undergo surgery to close the injury with sutures. Even after surgery, he will need ongoing medications, bandage changes, and careful monitoring to ensure his little body can heal. Despite everything he has endured, Muffin continues to show the resilience that kittens are known for. Safe at last, he is finally receiving the compassion and care that has been missing from his young life. No kitten should ever know this kind of suffering. Your donation today will help provide the lifesaving veterinary care Muffin urgently needs—from hospitalization and antibiotics to surgery and follow-up treatment. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings this brave little survivor one step closer to a future free from pain. Please help give Muffin the chance to heal, recover, and experience what every kitten deserves: safety, love, and a life where the only thing around his neck is the gentle touch of someone who cares.

Reggie was my soul mate day 1. I didn't want another dog because we already had 2 but love made me drive over an hour to pick up a "Maltese". The lady rehoming the pup was outside with him. As soon he saw me he ran to me as if he knew me and slept in my lap on the way home. I knew then it was fate. After a messy separation, he came with me. He's been with me thru my darkest hours. I love him He has a growth on his chest/underbelly area that has recently grown in size and it is bothering him. When I took him in before, I was told not to worry since it wasn't bothering him at the time but bring him in if it grows quickly. That's where we are now but I'm not in the same financial space I was previously. He's the most loving baby ever. Takes a while to warm up but once he does, you're family. He loves grooming his sister & tries to groom us as well. He's so vocal! He's very playful & has a different ball for every day for two weeks straight. He can be mischievous and will hide his toys to force you play or even drop them off the balcony. I love his little noises & attitude. He is my whole world. I had to move out of the home we've shared and start over with no family for support. Happened at the worst time because the cost of living was up as well as rent but I had to have a place to stay. Any help would mean that he gets a fair chance because he is worth it to me!

Draco

Draco is a 8-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier in Mojave , CA, who needs $2,000 for Ultrasound to Diagnosis Cause of High Liver Enzymes.

Mojave, CA

Draco is my best friend. He has been my baby since he was able to leave his fur mom. He has a human sister, a human brother and a dewgy dewg sister. He is the sweetest most gentle guy I know and loves to love. Draco loves to play! His favorite words are bubbles, walk and whipped cream. You can not squirt the whipped cream can without him running for some. He knows which toys are his and which are his sisters, but likes to irritate his sister by pushing her ball around. He loves when she grts feisty and chases him. Draco is a special kinda silly. He is scared of his own shadow, literally! If something is too close to him while he is eating, it gets the side eye the whole time. He is bigger than his sister, but thinks hes a lap dog. He has not eaten or pooped for almost a week. I am scared to take him to the vet to get diagnosed, knowing I can not afford to help him right now. My Carecredit is maxed out from a prior procedure he had. The vet he goes to is amazing, but does not offer financial assistance. My best friend needs help. This year has been oneof the roughest yet. I know everyone is going through it. But between hybrid battery going out, other car engine blowing, nail in tire, broken car windows by locals, who don't respect anything and vet procedure to save Dracos foot, its been extra hard.

Dakota

Dakota is a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd Mix in San Marcos, CA, who needs $2,000 for Intravenous Fluid Therapy with Potassium & Electrolyte Supplementation.

San Marcos, CA

We adopted Dakota in September 2021 from a rescue shelter. He is 2 1/2 now & suddenly started vomiting on Sept 27th, a few trips to our vet & to an urgent care facility but his symptoms got worse over a few days & he developed bloody diarrhea as well. We hospitalized him on Sept 30th into a 24hr speciality care clinic to manage his issues. Dakota had been the best dog I have ever met, I'm sure every pet owner says that. He lives with his brother Jax, myself, my wife Jill & my two daughters Kendall & Sierra. He has a funny, goofy & playful personality launching himself off our recliner to our couch & zooming around the house. He has brought so much joy to our family & every person he has met. Dakota has that "it" factor. Dakota has so much personality, between his couch launching abilities, his love for people, he has never growled or barked at other dogs & greets them with nothing but play in mind. He makes me smile every time I see him. Dakota was diagnosed with Acute Hemorrhagic Diarrhea Syndrome & Severe Esophogitis. He was seen by our vet at San Marcos Veterinary Clinic with Dr. Ichord & then admitted to Veterinary Specialty Hospital with 4-6 doctor's for supportive care. We maxed out our care credit card & another card, applied to 6 different foundations for grants & spread his story on all social media sites telling his story. I submitted his story to NBC7, Fox5 & KPBS in hopes more people can help. Dakota is our world.

Kyo

Kyo is a 9-year-old Malamute husky in Queen creek, AZ, who needs $1,680 for Adr protocol k9.

Queen creek, AZ

We got our dog kyo about 6 years ago, from a family that was unable to care for him anymore. He was being left outside and not getting the attention needed. We responded to the post and immediately fell in love. He was a handful at first, bringing him home and trying to re train him was no easy task. But since then he has been a great dog for our family. We have 4 kids and another dog. He doesn't really play with other dogs too much, but he loves tug of war with humans. The kids love kyo because he looks like a mean dog, but he is really a big softie. They feel protected knowing that he will ward off any intruders with his angry looks, then go snuggle in bed on top of them. We are on an extremely tight budget at this point in our lives. Im unable to pay for any of the tests to determine what is causing issues with kyo. Before covid I might have been able to find a vet that would take payments. I've even looked into shelters as a last resort. A few months ago we started noticing kyo whining when he went outside to poop. We figured it might be his glands being swollen so we looked up what we could give him to help. We got a few remedies and it seemed to help. He passed a softball sized poop, but eventually kept getting worse. We took him to trilogy veterinary care and they gave us an estimate of the tests needed. Kyo goes ape sh!t for walks! As soon as I grab the leash he is hoping around the house making all sorts of noises. He is a very vocal dog. He let's me know as soon as he is out of food or water, or if he needs anything. His body language is really easy to read. Kyo probably has the most personality out any dog I've ever had.
