Sassafras Swirl

Help Sassafras Swirl's Fight for a Healthy Smile

Oakton, VA • Tiny Cat Animal Rescue

Meet Sassafras Swirl-- or as his foster calls him, "our little Jonesy." Just like the ship's cat from Alien, Sassafras Swirl has a survival instinct that just won't quit. Loud noises will send him running for cover, but give him a minute and he'll talk himself back out, ears up and ready to try again. His foster has watched him do this over and over: freeze, assess, and push through. But once Sassafras Swirl is comfortable, he is all personality. He runs a strict two-breakfast, two-dinner household (he's basically a Hobbit), and he will let you know (loudly!) if service is slow. Between portion one and portion two, he expects a non-negotiable five-minute chin-scratch session. In the evenings, he is a lap cat who just wants to soak up love so he can be exactly who he is: a survivor who just wants his people, his food on schedule, and his chin scratched. On 8/26, Sassafras was seen for vomiting, diarrhea, and a dropping appetite. Our vet found that the real culprit was significant dental disease, with root exposure on his canine teeth. Left untreated, this kind of pain doesn't just make eating difficult, it can shut a cat down entirely. Sassafras needs a full dental workup under anesthesia, which includes pre-anesthetic bloodwork, dental radiographs, and extractions. Between diagnostics, sedation, and the extractions themselves, Sassafras's dental treatment will run just over $1,500. But every dollar will go directly to getting him pain-free and back to being the food-motivated, cuddle-demanding little guy his foster adores. Help us get Sassafras Swirl through his dental care so he can eat, love, and find his furever home without pain.

Chai

Chai is a 17 year old American Shorthair in Chicago, IL, who needs $2,500 for Comprehensive Oral Treatment.

Chicago, IL

Meet Chai. This sweet girl recently celebrated her 17th birthday! When Chai was a kitten, she was found on a farm in Iowa where she was stuck in a soy bean bag and brought to Chicago by a coworker's sister. I have taken care of Chai since she was just a few weeks old; she has spent her entire 17 years by my side. This farm turned city kitty lives with her two humans who love her very much. Chai is currently experiencing painful dental issues, most likely tooth resorption, and needs to undergo oral surgery to clean, extract, and examine her mouth to provide necessary relief in her golden years. She has already undergone a heavy round of antibiotics, but this only provides temporary relief. BLVD Cat will do the procedure 8/26/26 pending additional bloodwork to clear her for surgery. I may be a bit biased, but Chai is one special kitty. Her fur is a lovely diluted orange (only about 20% of orange cats are female!) and one of her pupils never fully developed and is always dilated. Because of this she kinda looks like an anime character o_O but that doesn't stop her from living her best life! She is a chatty and youthful 17 year old kitty who LOVES to play fetch! (see video!) Her procedure is estimated to cost $2,100 - $2,544; while I have already put down the 20% surgery deposit, this unexpected expense is more than we can cover. Things are hard for many right now, but if you are able, Chai and I would greatly appreciate your support. <3

Delta

Delta is a 2 month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier in Houston, TX, who needs $1,200 for Hospitalization, Intravenous Fluids, Antibiotics..

Houston, TX

Honestly, I was just looking at adoption sites. I like looking at all the cute puppies. I happened upon BARC and when I saw her little face I just knew she had to be with our family. She was such a sweet and happy little girl. Always super excited to wake up and receive cuddles. My husband had a German Shepherd named Charlie and to go along with the ABC military Code words I named her Delta. This is an emergency, Delta having separation anxiety when I took a trip somewhere she ended up spraining her leg in her kennel. Also one vet believes she has a severe case of Kennel Cough and needs to be treated immediately. Delta’s congested sinuses are causing her whole face to swell and become painful to the slightest touch. She’s also been having trouble eating due to this. Honestly we got Delta at six weeks. BARC saved her and her 4 brothers after someone threw them in a dumpster. When we received her, she was still very timid and almost scared of us. She’s is so sweet though. Delta loves sharing the bed and sleeping with us. Before she got sick she loved running around and playing with our cat governor who has one eye. Delta loves sneaking up on governor and lickin I just currently had a baby and with a family of seven and now 3 pets it has been a little difficult to save up for an emergency fund. I’ve been looking for work but no luck. My husband has been paying all the bills, financially we don’t have for this sudden expense.

Bella

Bella is a 8 year old Jack Russell Terrier in Fort Wayne , IN, who needs $1,500 for Tumor Removal and Dental Surgery.

Fort Wayne, IN

I saw Bella in a field across the street from the prison where I worked in the desert in Cali. She was inches away from 55 mile an hour freeway. I pulled over and she ran into the field. For 3 days,I sent my colleague to McDonald’s. She could not reach any water, without falling into a drainage ditch that was full of green, slimy irrigation runoff. I left some water and a blanket and cried. Bella had breast cancer when I was able to catch her. It was removed by the end of the first week. She has been a healthy and well loved dog. I am being treated for malignant brain tumor, And Bella goes with me to all my appointments. Where she entertain doctors and patients alike. Every three weeks we do a three day marathon trip from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Boston and straight back. Bella is half Chihuahua and half Jack Russell. She loves everybody and enjoys sleeping behind my knees under the blankets. Her play bow comes quickly in the mornings. As my ability to move has decreased, She has taken to just sitting by my side until somebody takes her for a ride or a walk for physical and cerebral stimulation.she hides under the bed because she doesn’t want to leave me. Bella has been diagnosed with breast cancer again. I’m not working, And we are currently living on my son’s unemployment. She needs another operation.
