Pickles Was Rescued With a Broken Jaw and Two Tiny Babies
Metairie, LA • A Tail in Need Animal Rescue
Pickles is a mama cat who was given a second chance at the exact moment she needed one most. This sweet girl was recently found at a local shelter alongside her two newborn kittens, Parker and Posey. While caring for her tiny babies, Pickles was also carrying a painful injury—a broken jaw that appears to have occurred sometime before she was rescued. The exact cause of her injury is unknown, but what is certain is that Pickles needed help. When A Tail In Need Animal Rescue learned about Pickles and her kittens, they immediately stepped in and tagged them for rescue placement, ensuring this little family would not be overlooked. Now safely in rescue care, Pickles is beginning the next chapter of her journey. Veterinary teams are reviewing her condition to determine whether her jaw can be repaired and what treatment will give her the best chance at healing. Despite everything she has endured, Pickles has continued to care for her kittens and show the strength and love of a devoted mother. Parker and Posey are counting on her, and A Tail In Need Animal Rescue is committed to giving this family the care and support they need. Donations will help cover Pickles’ veterinary evaluation, diagnostic testing, treatment for her jaw injury, and any medical care needed to help her recover while continuing to care for her kittens. Pickles was saved just in time. With your support, she can finally receive the care she deserves and give her babies the safe, healthy start they were meant to have. Please help A Tail In Need Animal Rescue give Pickles and her kittens the second chance they deserve.
Cloud
Help Tiny Cloud Get the Care She Needs to Thrive
Metairie, LA • A Tail in Need Animal Rescue
Cloud is only 4 months old, but this tiny kitten has already spent most of her life fighting to feel better. For the past 10.5 weeks, Cloud has been in the care of A Tail In Need Animal Rescue, receiving support and medical attention as they work to understand why she has not been thriving. Despite their dedication and around-the-clock care, Cloud is still not well. At just 1.8 pounds, Cloud is far too small for her age, and veterinary evaluation has revealed an abnormal curve in her spine. X-rays have provided important information about her condition, but Cloud still needs additional care and monitoring to determine the best path forward. Because Cloud continues to struggle, her rescue believes she would benefit from hospitalization for a few days so she can receive the intensive care and observation she needs. Unfortunately, the cost of this level of care is significant, and A Tail In Need Animal Rescue needs help making it possible. Despite everything she has endured, Cloud remains the sweetest little kitten. She is gentle, loving, and deserving of the chance to grow up healthy and comfortable. Donations will help provide Cloud with the veterinary care, hospitalization, diagnostics, and supportive treatment she needs as her rescue team continues fighting for answers. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings Cloud one step closer to feeling better and getting the future she deserves. Please help A Tail In Need Animal Rescue give this tiny fighter the care she needs. 8/12/26 Update: Cloud Is Receiving the Care She Needs Cloud is continuing to receive intensive care at the veterinary hospital as she works toward recovery. Because Cloud was not eating, her veterinary team placed a feeding tube to provide the nutrition she needs while allowing the painful ulcers on her tongue time to heal. She will remain hospitalized for additional care and monitoring, with her current hospitalization estimate at $1,400. A Tail In Need Animal Rescue is continuing to support Cloud as she receives the care she needs. Donations will help cover the growing cost of her hospitalization and treatment. Thank you for continuing to stand behind this sweet little girl as she works toward feeling better.
Frankenstein
Every Minute Matters For Frankenstein
Metairie, LA • A Tail in Need Animal Rescue
Frankenstein is just a kitten, but in a matter of hours his playful energy turned into a fight for survival. It started with diarrhea. Then he began losing weight. Soon after that, he stopped eating. Earlier that afternoon, he had been running around and playing like any happy kitten. By that evening, he was too weak to do anything but cry out. His foster family knew something was terribly wrong, luckily A Tail in Need Animal Rescue rushed him to an urgent care clinic. After an evaluation, the veterinarians knew he needed more intensive treatment than they could provide. Frankenstein was immediately transferred to MetVet, where the emergency team worked quickly to save his life. When he arrived, his blood sugar and blood pressure were dangerously low, and his tiny body had become cold. Every minute mattered. The veterinary team provided emergency care, stabilized him, and gave this little fighter the chance he desperately needed. Thanks to their quick action, Frankenstein survived. But emergency care comes at a significant cost, and his journey isn’t quite over yet. Your donation today can help cover the lifesaving treatment that gave Frankenstein a second chance and ensure A Tail in Need Animal Rescue can continue saying “yes” when the next animal faces a medical emergency. Please help us turn this frightening chapter into the beginning of a long, healthy life for Frankenstein.
Amy
Help Amy Survive Feline Panleukopenia Virus
Metairie, LA • A Tail in Need Animal Rescue
Amy's life began with uncertainty. At just 3 weeks old, she and her three siblings were found with their mother. Thankfully, a kind-hearted woman took the family in and reached out to A Tail In Need Animal Rescue for help. She lovingly fostered the kittens until they were old enough to leave their mom and enter rescue care. The kittens received their first vaccinations on May 31, 2026, and on June 5, 2026, A Tail In Need Animal Rescue officially welcomed them into the rescue. Just days later, tragedy began to unfold. The kittens developed diarrhea, and medication was started in hopes of stopping it. Instead of improving, their condition worsened. The first kitten to become seriously ill passed away before answers could be found. A few days later, a second sibling was seen by a veterinarian but sadly passed away as well. Despite testing, no clear cause was identified. Then Amy began to decline. Knowing something was terribly wrong, the rescue rushed her to MedVet, where she finally received a diagnosis: feline panleukopenia, a highly contagious and often deadly virus that is especially dangerous for young kittens. Amy is currently hospitalized and fighting for her life. Her medical care has already exceeded $4,500, and expenses continue to grow as she receives the intensive treatment she needs to survive. After losing two of her siblings, Amy is still fighting. A Tail In Need Animal Rescue is doing everything possible to give her a chance, but they cannot do it alone. Please consider making a donation to help cover Amy's emergency medical expenses. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps provide the lifesaving care she needs and gives this little kitten hope for a healthy future. Thank you for supporting Amy and the rescue team working tirelessly to save her. 7/8/26 Update: Amy is a Fighter After everything this little girl has been through, we are thrilled to share that Amy's latest test came back negative for Panleukopenia—a wonderful sign that she has successfully overcome the virus!

Seeing her happy, curious personality shine through is a beautiful reminder of the progress she has made and the impact of the care and support she has received.

After everything she has overcome, this resilient little girl is now 2 months old, full of personality, and officially ready to find her forever family.
