Fort Worth, TX • Spicy Whiskers Cat Rescue
Emergency intake – we need your help! This sweet girl had been sitting in the shelter for a couple of weeks, and she needs help now. She appears to have severe mastitis or mammary hyperplasia and must be incredibly uncomfortable. We couldn’t leave her there knowing she’s in pain. We picked her up and took her straight to Urgent Care so she could be assessed and made as comfortable as possible while we figure out the best treatment plan. Her diagnosis is not great but we know we can help! She has severe mammary hyperplasia, a bleeding ulcer, and severe anemia. We are working hard to get her stabilized and control those issues, so she will be healthy enough to have surgery soon to remove the necrotic mammary tissues/glands. We know this is not going to be cheap, but saying no wasn’t an option. She is so, so sweet and deserves the chance to heal and feel better. If you’re able to help, any donation—big or small—goes directly toward her medical care. Your support is what allows us to step in for cats like her when they have nowhere else to go. 4/22/26 Update: Arya needs emergency surgery to live! This is Arya. And this is what “waiting too long” looks like. She sat in a shelter for weeks —declining, not getting the care she needed, and with no one stepping in for her. Until we did. She’s been fighting every single day since—multiple medications, constant care—and through it all, she has never once fought us. She just… trusts. But now, her condition has become critical. Her mammary glands have ruptured. She also has a bleeding ulcer. This is extremely painful, severe, and life-threatening. She needs immediate surgery to remove necrotic tissue, followed by intensive aftercare. Her recovery will be long and complex. She will require a tie bandage that must be changed every single day for 6–8 weeks, along with frequent rechecks and possibly additional revision surgery. We are not giving up on her. But we cannot do this alone. We need to raise $4,500 for Arya’s care. An incredibly generous donor has offered to match $2,000—if we can meet that match, we’ll have $4,000 toward her treatment. This is the moment where your support can truly change everything for her. The cost is devastating for our small rescue, but in our hearts, we know Arya is worth it. She deserves the chance to heal, to feel safe, and to finally know what it’s like to be loved without pain. Please, if you can donate, share, or help in any way—we need you right now. 5/15/26 Update: Arya update! From sitting sick and suffering in the shelter… to this. 💕 Arya came to us with severely diseased mammary glands, ruptured tissue, infection, and a bleeding ulcer. She was in terrible pain and needed emergency surgery to remove the damaged and necrotic tissue in order to save her life. Her recovery was long and difficult—drains, bandage changes, medications, follow-up visits, and so many moments where we were scared of what would happen next. But through all of it, Arya stayed sweet, trusting, and full of love. And now? She’s playing with toys like a kitten. 🥹 Seeing her finally feel good, comfortable, and happy makes every hard moment worth it. This is why we fight so hard for cats like Arya. She finally gets the life she deserved all along. 🐾
