About this campaign

Marley, 1-2 year old female cat who was attacked and ripped open. She had a large, deep abdominal wound and we feared for her life, when we got her to the ER. The vet reported a dangerously high temperature of more than 105F. She urgently needed IV fluids, antibiotics, pain medication, and blood work.

She is suffering from a severe infection so the vet team cannot close the wound because it would only trap the infection, making it worse.

Marley is currently receiving around the clock care at the hospital- wet to dry bandage changes daily. Once the infection is under control, She will need surgery to debride the wound, freshen the edges, and attempt closure.

We don’t know what attacked her, but the vet said she is a very lucky girl! The predator went for her groin, which can cause death from rapid blood loss. We are so grateful she escaped and was found by a sympathetic and compassionate person who then reached out to us, One by One Animal Advocates for help.

Marley has used several of her 9 lives already, and we need your help to save her! She is just a baby, has a full life ahead of her, and a family that would be very lucky to have her. We have been crushed with recent medical bills and it seems there is no stopping the calls and requests for homeless animals.

We never want to have to say no to animal who needs our help. Can you please help us by donating towards her surgery and on-going medical bills? Every amount helps!
