Wink and Willie
These babies were among 75 cats trying to survive. Will you be their hero?
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Wink and Willie were two tiny kittens trying to survive in a colony of more than 75 cats. Their future could have looked very different—but they happened to be found on a TNR day, and Flying Pigs Sanctuary knew these little guys deserved a chance. Poor little Wink needed to have one of his eyes removed, and before they could safely introduce either kitten to their other fosters, both needed combo testing and veterinary care. They are now on the mend, a nd maybe even more exciting, they’re slowly learning what it means to be loved. Every day they get a little braver, a little friendlier, and a little more comfortable with this whole spoiled-house-kitten thing. This is why their TNR days are about so much more than spay and neuter. Sometimes they find kittens like Wink and Willie who just need someone to notice them, scoop them up, and completely change the direction of their lives. Please help them cover Wink and Willie’s vet bills. Every donation helps replenish the funds they need so that on the next TNR day, when they find another kitten who needs just a little help, Flying Pigs Sanctuary can say YES. Because sometimes a little help is all it takes to turn a scary beginning into a very, very bright future. Thank you.
Marco & Polo
This tiny kitten has the biggest wound. Will you help?
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
When Flying Pigs Sanctuary got the call about this tiny nugget with a gaping wound in his neck, they knew immediately what they were likely dealing with—a botfly larva. The good news? It’s treatable. The bad news? This tiny baby could NOT wait. And, of course, it was Saturday. So they scooped up little Marco—and his brother Polo —and rushed them straight to the ER. There are moments in rescue when you don’t have time to worry about what the bill will be. You just GO. The larva was removed, Marco’s wound was cleaned and treated, and he is recovering beautifully. Next stop: neuter, the rest of his vetting…and then a forever home. But emergency vet visits aren’t cheap, and FPS needs your help replenishing the funds they used to say YES to Marco. Please consider donating toward Marco’s emergency care. $5, $10, $20—it ALL matters. Because the next call probably won’t come at a convenient time either. They want to be able to pick up the phone and say the same thing they said for Marco: “Bring him to us. We’ll figure it out.” Thank you for your continued support.
Big Boi
The best guardian dog ever needs a little help from you.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Big Boi is quite simply the BEST guardian dog EVER. He takes his job VERY seriously at Flying Pigs Sanctuary—watching over his little goat family alongside his partner in crime, Remi. Those goats are his babies, and leaving his herd is absolutely NOT on his list of approved activities. So when Big Boi suddenly stopped eating, they knew something wasn’t right. They dropped everything and got him to the vet—which, for a dog who believes abandoning his post for even five minutes is completely unacceptable, was a VERY stressful adventure. Thankfully, they caught it early, and it was only a UTI; nothing too serious, and exactly the kind of thing you want to catch before it becomes something bigger. Of course, an unexpected vet visit means an unexpected vet bill. If you’d like to help cover Big Boi’s vet care, every $5, $10 or $20 helps us keep saying YES when one of our residents tells us something isn’t right. Because when the guy responsible for protecting everyone else needs a little help himself… he needs you all to show up for him.
Marigold
Sweet Marigold lost her only kitten. Please help her!
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Marigold is young, beautiful, incredibly sweet—and until recently, she was a mama doing everything she could to keep her one tiny kitten alive. Flying Pigs Sanctuary tried absolutely everything to save her baby. Vet care. Medication. Around-the-clock support. Every tool they had. But they were simply too late. That is one of the hardest realities of the work they do. When they find cats living in feral colonies, they always have to wonder: How many litters has this mama already had? How many kittens has she watched struggle? How many has she lost before we ever found her? For Marigold, they may never know. Marigold is safe with Flying Pigs Sanctuary. She has been fully vetted and spayed, and she is now being socialized so this incredibly sweet girl can become someone’s beloved indoor pet. The cycle ends with her. No more pregnancies. No more trying to raise babies outside. No more watching her kittens struggle to survive. Just safety, healing, love—and hopefully a wonderful forever family waiting on the other side. Now this rescue needs your help covering the veterinary care that made Marigold’s fresh start possible. Please consider making a donation in Marigold’s honor. Whether it’s $10, $25, $50 or her entire vet bill, every dollar helps them keep breaking the cycle—one mama at a time. Thank you for helping Flying Pigs Sanctuary give Marigold the future she deserved all along.
Momma Pickle
MAMA PICKLE SURVIVED FOR HER BABIES. NOW IT’S HER TURN.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Mama Pickle fought to survive to keep her babies alive. Now, it’s her turn to be cared for. Rescued by Flying Pigs Sanctuary from a horrific hoarding situation in Tennessee, Mama Pickle was found trapped in a cage with her three tiny kittens. They were covered in feces, with no food, no water and no way to escape. But Mama Pickle had three little lives depending on her. Through her hunger, thirst and neglect, she held on and managed to keep her babies alive. Today, all three of her kittens are safe and thriving! Now, we want to give their brave mama the same chance. Mama Pickle needs complete veterinary care, including testing, vaccines and a spay, before she can begin the search for the loving forever home she deserves. We can’t change what happened to her. We can’t give back the days she spent trapped in that cage, fighting to keep her family alive. But together, we can make sure the rest of her life looks nothing like the beginning. Please donate toward Mama Pickle’s veterinary care and help give this deserving girl the future she fought so hard to reach.
Moo Cow
Help Moo Cow Start Her Next Chapter
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Meet Moo Cow, a curious little kitty who absolutely LOVES life. Moo came to Flying Pigs Sanctuary from a property with more than 20 cats. Her caretaker loved her dearly, but with so many cats to care for, things had simply become overwhelming. When rescuers stepped in, they discovered that Moo was FIV+. Returning this friendly, affectionate girl to life outside wasn’t an option. Moo deserved the chance to be safe, healthy and loved indoors. So Flying Pigs Sanctuary said YES. Moo received everything she needed to start her next chapter: a spay, vaccines, testing and veterinary care. Today, this curious little cow kitty is healthy, happy and officially ready to find her forever family! But getting Moo here came with a cost. Flying Pigs Sanctuary needs your help covering Moo’s veterinary expenses so they can continue opening their doors to cats in need. Every donation toward Moo’s care helps replenish the resources that made her rescue possible. And makes it possible to say “yes” when the next cat needs help.
Momma Millie
No Mother Should have to Live Like This. Help Momma Millie
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Momma Millie was dumped with her kittens. When she was found, she was huddled around her babies, trying to protect them. Two had already passed away. Only one tiny kitten was still alive and we named her Mollie. We will never know how long Millie sat there with her babies. How long she waited for the person who abandoned her to come back. How hard she tried to keep them alive. What we do know is that no mother should ever have to endure this. When we heard about Millie and her one surviving baby, we said YES. Mollie survived. She is thriving, she is weaned, and now, finally, it’s Momma Millie’s turn to get her second chance. Millie needs the works: spay, vaccines, testing and the veterinary care she needs to be healthy and ready to find the forever home she should have had all along. Basic healthcare should be a given for every animal. But for animals like Millie, it simply isn't, unless a rescue steps in. Flying Pigs opens our doors with open arms as much as we physically can. But we can only continue to do this work when people like YOU back us up. Every donation toward Millie’s care does more than help one deserving mama cat. Sure it helps cover the care Momma Millie needs, but it also makes way for us to save the next cat, and the next one, because there will be another Millie. Please donate toward Momma Millie’s veterinary care so we can get her healthy, spayed, find her an incredible forever home. We said yes to Millie. Will you help us say yes to the next one?
Spay/Neuter Day
Spaying and Neutering is Essential for Cats. Help us Help our community!
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
In just THREE HOURS, Flying Pigs Sanctuary spayed and neutered 49 cats. Four incredible veterinarians donated their time. Thirty volunteers showed up to help. And 49 cats will never contribute to another unwanted litter. The cost? Just $1,300 in supplies. But the impact goes far beyond these 49 cats. Rescue saves the animal in front of us. Prevention helps save the animals who never have to suffer in the first place. Every spay and neuter means fewer kittens born outside, fewer cats struggling in colonies and less pressure on already overwhelmed rescues, leading to more animals getting necessary help and finding loving homes. And after seeing what this team accomplished, their veterinarian believes the next clinic could help 100 CATS IN ONE DAY. Flying Pigs Sanctuary is ready! We just need your help replenishing the $1,300 spent on supplies so they can do it again. Donate $10. Donate $25. Share this fundraiser. Every contribution helps stop the cycle before it starts. Help us raise $1,300 and make the next Spay & Neuter Day possible.
Turtle
Turtle was saved from a colony of feral cats. Be her hero today!
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Meet Turtle, the hilarious little kitten who made absolutely ZERO effort to pretend she was feral. Flying Pigs Sanctuary was working yet another friendly cat colony in Tennessee when this tiny girl basically said, “Oh good, you’re here!” and jumped right into their arms. No trap needed. No convincing necessary. Turtle had apparently decided rescue was her next move, and they were happy to oblige. They scooped her up and got her straight into a low-cost clinic where she got the works —everything she needed to be healthy, vetted, and officially on her way toward FOREVER. But when you're trying to spay and neuter as many cats as humanly possible, medical bills add up quickly. Every bill they can get covered means there’s money available for the next colony. The next spay or neuter. The next kitten who needs medical care. Or, in Turtle’s case, the next kitten who literally jumps into your arms and asks you to change her life. FPS is asking for your help to cover $100 of her medical bills. Just a few people deciding this ridiculous little face is worth the whole thing. Please consider donating toward Turtle’s vetting so we can keep doing this work and keep saying YES.
Rabbit
Rabbit needs you!
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
For Flying Pigs Sanctuary, pulling kittens from feral and friendly cat colonies is always incredibly rewarding… but the truth is, you never quite know what you’re going to get. Sweet little Rabbit was in rough shape. She was covered in crusty wounds that are believed to be from a severe reaction to fleas. On top of that, she's battling a terrible upper respiratory infection, and gave them an even bigger scare when she wasn’t urinating properly. This tiny girl needed help—and they were determined to give it to her. With lots of veterinary care, medication, good food, warmth, and LOTS of love, Rabbit has improved dramatically. She looks and feels like a completely different kitten, and she is well on her way to being healthy enough to find the amazing indoor forever home she deserves. But while she heals, Rabbit has found herself a pretty incredible foster brother… Herbert. The Pig. Every single night, Rabbit curls up and cuddles with Herbert. She even gives him little scratches on his belly, and somehow these two have become the sweetest, most unlikely pair. This is the friendship we didn't know we needed. Rabbit still has a little way to go before forever, and Flying Pigs Sanctuary would be incredibly grateful for help covering the veterinary care that got her this far. And until she’s ready for her forever home, don’t worry—Herbert is taking his babysitting responsibilities VERY seriously. Please consider donating to Rabbit and supporting the cutest odd couple at Flying Pigs Sanctuary.
Gracie
Skin Cancer Cost Gracie Her Ear. Then, Vets Discovered Multiple Infected Teeth.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Flying Pigs Sanctuary has met more than 250 cats since January 1 of this year, and every single one matters. But then there’s Gracie. When this tiny, frail girl arrived, she was painfully thin, covered in fleas and ticks, battling a severe respiratory infection, and had a wound on her ear that refused to heal. Their vet soon gave them heartbreaking news: Gracie had skin cancer on her ear, and it needed to be amputated. Thankfully, they were able to get her strong enough for surgery, and she did amazing. 🥹❤️ But while she was under anesthesia, they discovered another painful problem— her mouth was in terrible condition, with multiple infected teeth that desperately need to be removed. Gracie has already endured far too much pain. She deserves the chance to finally know what it feels like to be healthy, comfortable, and loved. They’re committed to giving Gracie the beautiful future she deserves—but they urgently need your help. Please consider donating toward Gracie’s cancer treatment and upcoming dental surgery. Whether it’s $10, $25, or more, every donation helps them continue saying YES to cats who need us most. Gracie has suffered long enough. We’ve got her now.
Azul, Laverne, & Shirley
Can you help support low-cost spay for these sweeties?
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Azul, Laverne, and Shirley were all a part of a friendly cat colony where Flying Pigs Sanctuary spayed and neutered 15 cats —stopping countless future litters and giving every one of them a healthier future. And they are quite possibly the sweetest kitties ever. Thankfully, they didn't have any major health concerns; other than Azul needing dental work down the road. So right now, Flying Pigs Sanctuary is simply trying to raise $35 to cover each of their low-cost spay surgery. It may not sound like much, but when they’re helping colony after colony, $35 + $35 + $35 adds up FAST. Every vet bill they’re able to cover means they have the resources to say YES to the next cat who needs us. And for these sweeties, this $35 spay is one of the final steps toward something they absolutely deserve: an amazing, loving INDOOR forever home. They're done having babies and surviving outside. Now it’s time for them to be somebody’s spoiled little house cat. If you can donate, even a small amount, it makes the biggest difference. $35 gets each one of them one step closer to forever— please donate, share, and help us keep fixing the problem one cat at a time.
Smitty
Smittie the pig made an emergency vet trip and needs your help!
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Smitty lives next door to the caretaker of Flying Pigs Sanctuary, and every morning around 6:30 a.m., he’s waiting at her front door for their usual wander, bunny feeding, and, of course, cookies. ❤️ But one morning, Smitty wasn’t there. He wouldn’t come out, and even more concerning, he had no interest in his cookies—something he never turns down. She knew something was wrong, so she rushed him to the University of Tennessee, where he was admitted for dehydration and stayed overnight for fluids, treatment, monitoring, and bloodwork. Thankfully, when she visited him before heading back to work, he ate some cookies. 🥹🍪 That little moment was everything. Smitty’s estimated hospital bill is $600–$800, and we could really use our village. Please consider donating toward his emergency care. Every dollar helps FPS cover his treatment and continue saying YES when animals need us most. $10, $20, $50—it all adds up. Please donate if you can, and send our sweet Smitty some good thoughts for better bloodwork. ❤️🐷 We’ll never regret acting too quickly. We would only regret waiting too long.
Trudy
Trudy was the last cat saved from the colony. She needs your support!
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Meet Trudy. Flying Pigs Sanctuary believed Trudy was dumped. Even more heartbreaking, they discovered that she was already spayed AND microchipped—but her chip was never registered. There was no one to call. No family to reunite her with. And Trudy clearly needed someone looking out for her. She had a cloudy eye and a VERY round belly, and before we could even think about finding her a home, we needed to make sure there wasn’t something medically wrong. So off to the vet she went. Somewhere along the way, Trudy became a total sanctuary favorite. She’s sweet, hilarious, affectionate and the kind of cat who makes you start rationalizing why maybe one more permanent resident wouldn't hurt. But they know what Trudy really deserves: her very own forever family. Please consider donating toward Trudy’s veterinary bill. Covering the cost of the animals they’ve already helped means that if another unfamiliar face suddenly appears at Short Street—or any of the colonies they support—they don't have to wonder whether they can afford to help. And as long as feral cats keep showing up, Flying Pigs Sanctuary wants to keep showing up for them. Thank you for your help.
Timothy
Please help Timothy recover from stomatitis.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Flying Pigs Sanctuary rescued Timothy, a supposedly “feral” cat, from a local colony. And when they said pick up, they literally meant pick up. No trap. No drama. They simply scooped this sweet guy up and quickly realized there was absolutely nothing feral about him. What they also realized was that Timothy was in pretty rough shape. He was covered in fleas and ticks, his eye was cloudy and clearly injured, and after his low-cost neuter, they knew releasing him right back outside simply wasn’t an option. Thankfully, they were able to place Timothy in foster care, where he could decompress and get the individual attention he desperately needed. That’s when they discovered another problem: terrible stomatitis. His gums were so inflamed and painful that eating was difficult. They got him back to the vet to have his mouth and cloudy eye evaluated. Thankfully, there was nothing seriously wrong with his eye, and an antibiotic injection has worked wonders on his gums. Timothy is feeling SO much better. Timothy deserves this chance, and so does the next friendly colony cat we meet. Please consider donating toward Timothy’s medical care. Every dollar they can recoup allows them to keep showing up for their community, keep helping these colonies, and most importantly, keep saying YES when “just TNR” turns into a life that can be completely changed. Because sometimes the best part of TNR is realizing the “R” doesn’t have to mean return.
Bugs
Meet Bugs: From a cage to a best friend.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
At just three months old, Bugs had already experienced more neglect than any animal ever should. Flying Pigs Sanctuary found this exuberant little kitten in a horrific hoarding case, locked in a cage by herself, covered in feces and absolutely desperate for love. But the second that cage door opened, Bugs didn’t hesitate. She came bounding out. She was so excited to see a human. So excited to be touched, held, and loved. Before Bugs can begin her journey toward adoption, they needed to make sure everything happening on the outside hadn’t caused something serious on the inside. So they rushed her to the vet for an evaluation, testing, and the care she needed so they can be confident in moving her to foster care. And Bugs has proven to be an absolutely AMAZING kitten. Even more beautifully, she found Finley —another little survivor from the same horrific hoarding case. Finley lost both of her siblings despite everything we did to save them, and now Bugs has taken her under her wing. The two have become best pals, playing, snuggling and learning together what kittenhood was supposed to look like all along. This is why they do it. They can’t erase the cage. They can’t erase the neglect. They can’t give them back the beginning they deserved. But they can completely rewrite the ending. Please consider donating toward Bugs’ veterinary bills and helping Flying Pigs Sanctuary get this joyful little girl one step closer to the forever home waiting for her. Thank you.
Ozzie
Ozzie was supposed to be TNR... Then the plan changed.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
When Flying Pigs Sanctuary trapped Ozzie, they thought they knew exactly how his story would go: trap, neuter, vaccinate, return. Ozzie was a wild little “feral” kitten—or so they thought. Then Ozzie showed them who he really is. Underneath all that fear was a loving, friendly little boy absolutely desperate to belong to someone. Once he realized the humans around him were there to help, there was no question about returning him outside. Ozzie didn't want to be a feral cat; he wanted to become BFF’s with Harriot and find an amazing happily ever after. So the plan changed. Ozzie has been fully vetted and is officially ready for the best part of his story: finding his forever home! But saving cats like Ozzie comes with a cost. What begins as a TNR appointment can quickly become full veterinary care, foster care, and preparation for adoption—and those bills add up FAST, especially from big colonies of feral cats. They could desperately use your help to cover the medical care for Ozzie so they can close this chapter. Please consider donating—even a few dollars makes a difference. Thank you!
Harriot
Help cover Harriot's medical care so she can find her forever home.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Flying Pigs Sanctuary was found in a colony of feral cats, but they had no problem trapping her. They said she practically jumping into their arms! She just wanted to be loved and to be somebody's best friend. But saving cats like Harriot comes with a cost. What begins as a TNR appointment can quickly become full veterinary care, foster care, and preparation for adoption—and those bills add up FAST. They urgently need your help covering Harriot’s vet bills so they can close the chapter on life outside and send her toward the life she deserves. Please consider donating—even if it's only a few dollars—every amount makes a difference. When you help Flying Pigs Sanctuary cover the cost of medical bills, you make it possible for them to keep setting traps and say YES to the next “feral” kitten who turns out to be waiting for someone to love them.
Lisa Marie
Please help cover Lisa Marie's hospitalization care.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
The other week, a beautiful young cat that Flying Pigs Sanctuary named Lisa Marie showed up looking for help. At less than a year old, she should be enjoying kittenhood—not struggling just to breathe. She was severely congested, so they rushed her to the veterinarian. Their plan was to have her spayed right away, but after examining her, the veterinarian determined she was simply too sick for surgery. Because of how severe her upper respiratory infection was, the safest option was to hospitalize Lisa Marie. They aren't willing to take any chances with her health or risk exposing any of the sanctuary's other animal residents while she fights this infection. Once she's healthy, she'll finally be able to be spayed and begin the next chapter of her life—finding the loving forever home she deserves. Her hospitalization, treatment, and spay will total $300, and they're hoping an amazing community of animal lovers can help them give this sweet girl the fresh start she's been waiting for. If you'd like to sponsor a portion of Lisa Marie's care, every dollar makes a difference. Thank you for helping them turn another heartbreaking beginning into a beautiful happily ever after.
Bob Marley
Meet Bob Marley; No tail, no problem!
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
What’s cuter than a tiny black kitten? A tiny black kitten with NO TAIL. Meet Bob Marley, Flying Pigs Sanctuary's ridiculously adorable little bobtail boy who was born right here at the sanctuary after his feral mama found her way to us. Mama has since been trapped and spayed, which means Bob and his siblings will be her last litter—and that alone is something worth celebrating. But they noticed that little Bob was developing just a bit slower than his siblings. Before sending him off to foster care and beginning his journey toward adoption, they wanted to make absolutely sure there wasn’t anything they were missing. So, off to the vet he went! Apparently Bob Marley didn’t get the memo that the vet is supposed to be scary. He proceeded to steal the hearts of everyone in the clinic, lounging upside down without a care in the world and soaking up every single ounce of love and attention being offered. Thankfully, their sweet little guy checked out, and with a little medication and some extra TLC, he’s continuing to move in the right direction. His vet visit and medication cost $150, and now they need your help covering Bob’s bill. Because when you donate $5, $10, $25—or any amount you can—you’re doing more than paying one adorable bobtail kitten’s vet bill. You’re helping them be ready for the next litter. Help Flying Pigs Sanctuary raise $150 for Bob Marley and keep this little man headed toward foster, adoption, and his very own forever family. No tail. ALL personality. And a whole lot of love ahead. Thank you.
Finley
Help give Finley the absolute best care.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Finley deserves the absolute best. And after everything she has survived, Flying Pigs Sanctuary is going to make sure she gets it. Finley was pulled from a horrific hoarding case in Tennessee where more than 150 animals were living on the property. She and her two tiny siblings were found confined in a cage, covered in feces and desperately needing help. They got all three babies into veterinary care immediately. But they were sadly too late for Finley’s two littermates. Finley struggled too, and there were moments when they were terrified they might lose her. But they refused to give up. She received the veterinary care she desperately needed, and this tiny girl fought with everything she had. And Finley made it. Today, she is thriving in an amazing foster home—growing stronger, learning what it feels like to be safe and loved, and getting closer every day to being ready for her forever family. There is something especially bittersweet about watching her thrive. They look at Finley and can't help but think about the two babies who should be growing up beside her. Finley will never again live in a filthy cage. She will never again be forgotten among more animals than anyone could possibly care for. From this point forward, this sweet, special girl gets only the best. Soon, Finley will be looking for the forever home she fought so hard to live for. Until then, this rescue needs your help covering the critical veterinary care that helped keep her alive. Please consider donating toward Finley’s vet bills. Every donation—no matter the amount—helps them continue showing up for animals like Finley when they have nowhere else to turn. For Finley. For the two little lives they couldn't save. And for the next animal who desperately needs someone to say YES. Thank you.
Thomas
Help get Thomas from colony cat to cherished family member.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Thomas was one of 15 cats Flying Pigs Sanctuary recently pulled from a colony in East Tennessee —and from the moment they met him, one thing was painfully clear: putting this sweet boy back outside was NOT an option. Thomas doesn’t act like a cat who belongs on the streets. He looks up at you with those big, soulful eyes, rubs his entire body against you, begs for pets, and purrs the second he realizes he’s safe. All he wants is affection. After his initial neuter, they brought Thomas to the vet for a full evaluation to figure out exactly what he needed to get healthy and be able to find his forever home. Unfortunately, this poor guy has been through more than they realized. Thomas tested FIV positive, his teeth are in terrible condition and require a dental extraction, and he has a wound that they’re currently treating and working hard to get healed. But here's the wonderful part: Thomas has an incredible foster who said YES to him. He has a warm, safe place to recover. He has someone making sure he gets his medication and care. He has soft places to sleep, plenty of food, and—probably his favorite part—someone to give him all those pets he has clearly been waiting so long for. Now Flying Pigs Sanctuary needs your help with the rest. They need to raise the funds to cover Thomas’s vet bills, dental and ongoing wound care so they can get this sweet boy completely healed and ready for adoption. Because Thomas isn't a "feral cat." He isn't a cat who belongs outside simply because that's where they found him. He's somebody's future best friend. Once his dental is complete and his wound is healed, Thomas will be ready to find the family who will make sure he never has to wonder where his next meal—or his next cuddle—is coming from again. And we have a feeling he's going to make someone the BEST cat ever. Please consider donating toward Thomas's care. Every dollar helps them not only say YES to Thomas, but continue saying yes to the next friendly cat they find struggling to survive on the streets of East Tennessee. They deserve more than survival. They deserve homes.
Cindi
Cindi was covered in fleas and missing an eye and still cared for her babies. Now please help her!
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
When Flying Pigs Sanctuary first met Cindi—with an “I” —she was barely more than a kitten herself. She was living in a colony of 15 adult cats and 15 kittens —30 cats, all friendly, all desperate for love, and all needing someone to step in and change the trajectory of their lives. And Cindi was a momma. She was skinny, covered in fleas, missing an eye, and clearly had already experienced more hardship in her short life than any animal should. But none of that stopped her from being an incredible mother. Her babies came first. Always. She cared for them like a pro, keeping them fed, safe, and loved while her own little body desperately needed care. So we made Cindi a promise: Take care of your babies, sweet girl, and then it’s YOUR turn. Once her kittens were old enough to be weaned, Flying Pigs got Cindi fully vetted and healthy enough to begin the next chapter of her life. But unfortunately, these exams come with a cost. Every time they say YES to a momma cat like her, they take on the cost of exams, vaccines, testing, flea treatment, medications, spay surgery, and whatever else she needs to leave her old life behind. Please consider donating toward Cindi’s veterinary expenses. Your donation doesn’t just help pay the bill—it helps make sure that when the next skinny, exhausted momma cat is found trying desperately to keep her babies alive, we can look at her and say: “Yes. We’ll help you too.”
Burrito
Burrito the paralyzed pup had an unexpected trip to the vet and needs your help.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Flying Pigs Sanctuary is caring for an incredible pup named Burrito. They refer to him as the paralyzed pup who refuses to let anything slow him down. He now proudly walks (or should we say _wobbles_!) on his own, but he had an unexpected trip to the vet recently. Like many "down dogs," Burrito will likely battle urinary tract infections throughout his life. Because these infections can become serious very quickly, they never take any chances. At the first sign of trouble, he was off to the veterinarian for treatment. Flying Pigs Sanctuary is asking for a little help covering the cost so Flying Pigs Sanctuary can continue saying "yes" whenever Burrito needs care. Every donation, no matter the size, helps keep this amazing boy healthy, happy, and wobbling his way through life. Thank you for loving Burrito as much as we all do.
Cheddar
Help this sweet kitten's leg heal.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Flying Pig Sanctuary recently rescued a tiny orange kitten who limping and had a badly swollen leg. They feared the worst and rushed him to the vet, worried he had suffered a broken leg. Thankfully, X-rays brought good news—his leg wasn't broken. Instead, the swelling was most likely caused by one of his feral siblings playing a little too rough but leaving a painful bite. Cheddar may have started life as a frightened feral kitten, but today he's become the sweetest little boy and is receiving treatment to heal his leg. They never take chances when it comes to their animals, and they're so grateful they were able to get him the care he needed immediately. His veterinary visit cost was $187.50. If you'd like to help cover Cheddar's medical expenses so Flying Pigs Sanctuary can continue saying "yes" to kittens and animals in need, any donation—big or small—would mean the world. Thank you for helping us give sweet cats like Cheddar the second chance they deserve. 7/22/26 Update Thank you for helping to cover Cheddar's medical bills. Thanks to you, Cheddar is well on his way to recovery and finding his forever home. Because of you, Flying Pigs Sanctuary is able to keep rescuing animals in need.
Sampson
Sampson was never meant to die alone.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
When Flying Pigs Sanctuary set the trap, they thought Sampson was just another feral cat who needed to be neutered and returned. But the moment they got him into their hands, they knew something wasn't right. He had a large, painful wound on his leg. His body was worn down from years of surviving outside. His eyes told the story of an old soul who had simply run out of strength. Then came the test results. FIV Positive. In that moment, everything changed. Returning Samson to the streets was no longer an option. The funny thing was... he didn't act like a feral cat at all. Whether he had once belonged to someone or whether life on the streets had simply defeated him, Sampson quietly accepted gentle touches. It was as if, after all those years, he had finally decided to trust someone enough to ask for help. Thankfully, one of their incredible volunteers and foster moms fell in love with him and opened her home, her heart, and her wallet. For weeks, she cared for him through painful wound treatments, multiple veterinary visits, surgeries on his leg, endless bandage changes, medications, and countless hours of love and patience. Slowly, the frightened old tomcat transformed into a cherished member of her family. But saving him wasn't cheap. Flying Pigs Animal Sanctuary covered his dental care—about $500. His incredible foster spent over $1,000 of her own money treating his leg and giving him the medical care he desperately needed. This is the side of TNR that most people never see. Sometimes you trap a "feral" cat... and instead you discover a senior who just needed someone to notice he was suffering. Those are the moments that stretch every dollar we have, and we are desperately asking for your help to cover the cost of his medical bills.
Honey
Honey's sweet second chance
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
At first glance, Honey looks like any other playful 8-week-old kitten. But what you can't see is that she's a Panleukopenia survivor. Panleuk has ripped through kitten communities this spring, and despite every precaution Flying Pigs Sanctuary takes to protect the kittens in their care, it found its way into one of their foster homes. Honey wasn't alone. She and her brother, Baer, were fighting the same terrible virus. Sadly, Baer was simply too sick. Despite everything they tried, they couldn't save him. The moment they lost Baer, they shifted into prevention mode for Honey. They threw everything they had at giving her the best chance possible before the virus could take hold. Even with early intervention, Honey became critically ill and spent two days hospitalized, receiving around-the-clock care that ultimately saved her life. That care came with a price: $2,300. Which is why we're asking for your help. Please consider making a donation toward Honey's medical expenses. Every dollar helps them recover the cost of saving her life so they can say "yes" to the next kitten who needs them.
Tigress
Tigress needs your help to overcome cancer.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Meet Tigress. She came into the lives of Flying Pigs Sanctuary during a rescue that they say none of them will ever forget. They were originally called to help a pig whose owner had passed away suddenly. The pig had been confined indoors for over seven years and was unable to walk. While they were working to get him to safety, they learned there were other animals still on the property. That’s when they met this sweet girl. What they saw that day was heartbreaking. Tigress was suffering from one of the worst skin conditions they had ever seen. Her back and neck were covered in raw, painful wounds that had clearly been untreated for a very long time. The family loved her but simply didn’t have the resources to get her the veterinary care she desperately needed. She was 12, and had NEVER been to a vet. Although their sanctuary was already at capacity and they could not take Tigress in permanently, they could not walk away from her suffering. They committed to getting her the care she deserved and to helping her find a place where she could live out her remaining time surrounded by love. After veterinary evaluation, they learned the wounds on her back and neck were cancerous tumors. Even though their veterinary team was able to surgically remove them,the cancer came back. Tigress is an old lady and what she needs now is to simply to be loved. Despite everything she has endured, Tigress remains incredibly affectionate with people. She craves human attention and lights up when someone spends time with her. She is potty trained, enjoys going for walks on or off the leash and has been very easy to care for in a home setting. She is a bit stiff these days, so she is currently on joint and pain medication to keep her comfortable but she’s found sanctuary, and we will love her until it’s her time. If you would also like to show Tigress some love, please donate any amount that you can. It will go directly toward paying her medical bills and giving her the best care possible. Thank you.
Earle Grey
Earle Grey's road to recovery is not done yet.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Flying Pigs Sanctuary rescued Earle Grey on April 24. Because he was so severely emaciated, he was immediately started on a refeeding program to help his body safely adjust to proper nutrition. He did wonderfully at first, gaining weight and finally getting a chance to experience life free from the padlock and chain he had endured. But over time, Earle began to get pickier with his food. It was difficult to know exactly what was wrong, because despite everything, he still had moments where he seemed bright and happy—especially if a cheeseburger was involved. His bloodwork looked great, and he still seemed perky, but we knew something wasn’t right. After multiple vet visits to try to get answers, everything changed this Monday. During an exam, their vet felt something unusual in Earle’s abdomen. X-rays quickly turned into an ultrasound, which revealed a large mass. Surgery was scheduled right away, but once their vet began the procedure, she became concerned that the mass was too extensive to safely remove herself. She closed him back up and immediately referred Earle to a specialist. The other day, that specialist removed a massive tumor—one of the largest she has ever seen. She believes she was able to get good margins, but there is still concern that the mass is cancerous. Right now, they are holding onto hope that it was caught in time and that Earle can finally have the healthy, happy life he has always deserved. His veterinary care has already totaled $7,000, and they need help covering the cost of giving Earle a chance. If you’re able to donate, every dollar will go toward his lifesaving care and recovery. Thank you for your generosity.
Lt. Dan
This special guy needs your help.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Meet Lt. Dan 💔 Lt. Dan is just 2 months old, but he’s already faced more than any kitten ever should. Born into a feral colony with disabilities, he never would have survived on his own. Flying Pigs Sanctuary knew they had to step in. Now safe at their rescue, Lt.

He is everyone's favorite kitten. We still want to have an MRI done to figure out exactly what's going on. 7/25/26 Update We still want to get Lt. Dan an MRI, but with all the animals we're dealing with at the moment, the cost is way too high. It will cost several thousand dollars. We desperately want to do this for him because he deserves it but we can't do it without your help. Every little bit helps. Thank you!
Dixie
Dixie needed a second chance.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
When sweet senior terrier Dixie suddenly stopped feeling like herself, her family knew something was wrong. She lost her appetite, developed severe diarrhea, and just wasn't the happy little dog they knew and loved. After an initial veterinary visit, they were told her symptoms were likely related to neck pain. But something didn't feel right. Trusting their instincts, they sought a second opinion—and we're so grateful they did. Flying Pigs Sanctuary veterinarian discovered two tumors in Dixie's mammary glands and found that she was in desperate need of a dental procedure. The answers they had been searching for were finally found. As part of their community outreach program, Flying Pigs Animal Sanctuary helps families facing overwhelming veterinary costs. After already spending money on a visit that didn't uncover the real problem, Dixie's family was struggling to afford the treatment she desperately needed. They stepped in to cover the cost of her surgery to remove the tumors and give her the dental care she needed. Every donation goes towards covering Dixie's medical care. If you'd like to help Flying Pigs Sanctuary continue providing her the best care and support, please consideration making a donation of any size today. Together, we're giving animals like Dixie the second chance they deserve 7/17/26 Update Thanks to all of you, Dixie is doing fantastic! She has made a great recovery, and her eating has greatly improved. She is running around and feeling like a brand new dog. It wouldn't have been possible without the support from all of you.
Hazy
Please help Hazy in her golden years.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Two years ago, Hazy's life was hanging in the balance. At 10 years old, her family planned to euthanize her simply because she was old and thin. When she came to Flying Pigs Sanctuary, she was heartworm positive, riddled with worms, and desperately needed help. Thanks to the support of animal lovers like you, Hazy got a second chance. She overcame her illnesses, gained strength, and has spent the last two years thriving and enjoying the life she deserves. Recently, however, Hazy began limping. After a veterinary exam, they received heartbreaking news: she is suffering from severe arthritis. While we can't turn back the clock, we can help keep her comfortable and pain-free in her golden years. Hazy's recent veterinary visit totaled $350, and her arthritis medications cost an additional $225. We're asking for help covering these unexpected expenses so we can continue giving Hazy the care she needs. Every donation, no matter the size, helps ensure that Hazy's second chance remains a happy one. Thank you for loving senior dogs like Hazy and helping them keep her tail wagging.
Mr. Beans
Mr. Beans was infested with maggots and covered in wounds. Please show him love.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
This larger-than-life Kunekune pig with the sweetest, most outgoing personality is finally safe. Mr. Beans came to Flying Pigs Sanctuary thanks to the incredible team at Chain Free USA in Knoxville, who discovered him while helping a family build fencing for chained dogs in Bean Station, TN. His family loved him deeply, but after multiple dog attacks, they made the difficult decision to surrender him so he could have a safer future. Like many pigs, Mr. Beans started life indoors before eventually being moved outside as he grew. Despite everything, he is litterbox trained, knows how to sit, and acts more like a dog than a pig. You can truly see the intelligence and relief in his eyes now that he knows he's safe. ❤️ Mr. Beans arrived with painful wounds infested with maggots that needed immediate treatment. Their vet met with them the next morning to treat the wounds, and on Sunday, their amazing volunteers transported him for a safe neuter procedure due to the anesthesia risks larger pigs face. If you are able to help cover any of the cost for Mr. Bean's medical treatment, we would be so grateful. Thank you.
TNR
Please help Little Jack and other TNR cats.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
With vet bills piling up faster than Flying Pigs Sanctuary can keep up with, they are facing the heartbreaking reality that they may have to PAUSE their trapping efforts. And that is absolutely destroying them… because TNR is what PREVENTS tragedies like this from happening in the first place. Last week they pulled little Jack from the 30-cat colony and rushed him straight to the vet. At just 1lb, putting him under anesthesia is VERY risky, but without surgery and treatment, infection could take his life. Right now, Jack is hospitalized, and they are anxiously waiting for updates, hoping that this tiny fighter pulls through. Thanks to one of their incredible volunteers, they were also able to pull 4 more adult cats from the property that are now getting spayed and neutered. That leaves just 2 adults and 3 kittens remaining. They are so close to finishing this colony… but financially, it has completely wiped this compassionate rescue out. We cannot stop now. Please, if you are able, consider donating to help us continue trapping, provide emergency medical care, and finish saving these cats before more kittens are born into suffering. Thank you for your continued support.
Phantasia
Please help Phantasia heal from a crushed leg.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Phantasia has always been part of the heart behind Flying Pigs Sanctuary. She belongs to the family who helps care for so many rescued animals. However, in a devastating accident, Phantasia’s back leg was run over and crushed. What started as an ordinary day turned into an emergency no one could have prepared for. She was rushed in for immediate care, and the only way to save her leg was a complex surgery costing $6,000. Her family, who gives so much to help animals in need, simply did not have the means to cover such an overwhelming expense. So Flying Pigs Sanctuary stepped in for her—just as they do for so many others. Phantasia underwent the surgery and, thankfully, she is recovering beautifully. But the financial weight of that lifesaving procedure and her ongoing aftercare still remains. Now we are asking for help for one of our own. Donations will go directly toward covering Phantasia’s surgery bill and the continued care she needs to heal fully. Any amount makes a difference and helps ease the burden on a family that has dedicated themselves to helping animals every single day. Please consider supporting Phantasia’s recovery and standing beside the people who so often stand up for others.
Earl Grey
Urgent and heartbreaking: Earl Grey desperately needs you
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
This is one of the most urgent and heartbreaking cases Flying Pigs Sanctuary has ever seen, and they desperately need your help to care for this sweet boy they named Early Grey. All winter long, they checked on this dog. He was padlocked to a chain behind a house. He had a dog house—but no straw. Every time the temperatures dropped, they brought him straw so he wouldn’t freeze. Despite everything, he was always so friendly. The owner allowed them to visit when they came by, and they held onto that small window of access to at least make him a little more comfortable. When the weather warmed up, they didn’t check on him as often. He had been a healthy weight all winter, and while his situation was awful, they felt stuck—knowing the only other option would be something drastic, like cutting the chain and taking him, which could have put everything at risk. Then they got a report about a very skinny dog at that same location. They were shocked. They did drive-bys, trying to confirm it was him but never saw him. Weeks passed. Another rescue stepped in and reported it. The shelter attempted to get the owner to surrender him, but the man refused. They were told there wasn’t much else they could do. A neighbor had been feeding him… and they were left trying to figure out how to help, but they also didn’t have space for another dog. But incredibly, a woman stepped up to foster who had walked up to the man's house—and without hesitation, the man said: “Take him. I don’t want him anymore.” Just like that. He is now SAFE and in Flying Pig Sanctuary's care and his new foster home. But sadly, he is in very rough shape. They are monitoring his food intake extremely carefully because refeeding too quickly could kill him. He urgently needs a full veterinary evaluation, and they are already stretched thin with the number of animals depending on them right now. If you are able to give any amount, it would be greatly appreciated. Early Grey and Flying Pigs Sanctuary need you to bring this sweet boy back to health. Thank you. 6/18/26 Update Thank you to everyone who supported Earl Grey through a hard time. As it turns out, the vet found a large mass in his abdomen. He is scheduled to have surgery and is hoping that it is not cancer.
Possum
Please help Possum get out of the hospital.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Meet Possum--he has a severe UTI (no crystals, thankfully), and Flying Pigs Sanctuary started treatment right away. And then a few days ago, he started vomiting. At first, he seemed okay, but after finding a piece of cellophane (he loves eating things he shouldn’t), they didn’t want to risk waiting. They immediately headed to the emergency clinic in Chattanooga at 9:30 PM. The vet found his bladder to be very full and couldn’t be expressed—they suspected the infection had caused a blockage, but they also couldn’t rule out intestinal blockage, so they moved forward with hospitalization. X-Rays confirmed no intestinal blockage, and even under sedation, they were unable to express his bladder. They then had to insert a catheter, which confirmed blood in his urine. The good news is they caught it early, but he’ll need to stay hospitalized for a few more days. Possum sleeps on his caretaker's chest every night, so not having him here is really hard. He has a dog best friend named Goose, who is also missing him dearly, as they love to cuddle. Needless to say, things feel empty without him. There’s just something special about the little man. FPS is already at $5,100+ in medical bills, and they are still climbing. If you’re able to give any amount, it would be so greatly appreciated. They are in desperate need of your help to care for Possum, on top of the many other animals they are caring for. Thank you for your continued support.
Hamilton
Hamilton needs your help to receive hoof care and other medical needs.
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Meet Hamilton. He arrived at Flying Pigs Sanctuary as a temporary boarder when his family had to relocate overseas for work. But when he got to the sanctuary, it was clear he needed more than a place to stay. Hamilton was morbidly obese, his hooves were painfully overgrown, and he could barely walk. On top of the physical toll, he was carrying something just as heavy—loneliness from missing the family he loved. With patience, proper care, and a whole lot of love, Hamilton’s life has begun to change. Today, he’s known as the king of belly rubs, happily flopping over the moment he gets attention. His gentle, sweet nature shines through, and he’s become a source of joy to everyone around him. So far, Hamilton has lost 35 pounds —with another 35 still to go—and once he reaches his goal weight, he’ll head to UT for a full health evaluation. But transformations like Hamilton’s don’t happen without ongoing care, time, and resources. We’re asking for your help to continue his journey. Donations go directly toward his specialized diet, hoof care, medical needs, and the support he needs to reach a healthy, happy life. Every contribution helps Hamilton take another step—literally and figuratively—toward the future he deserves.
Daddy Long Legs
Daddy Long Legs Was Already Given Up On- Let’s Be The Help He Needs
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Meet Daddy, affectionately known as Daddy Long Legs, a senior cat with the longest legs we’ve ever seen and a heart even bigger than his stride. Daddy was found through our TNR program launched on January 1, 2026, when we began working a colony of over 25 cats in our rural community. What we expected to find were mostly feral cats in need of spay and neuter. What we discovered instead was heartbreaking — so many were friendly, clearly once someone’s pets, likely dumped when families moved away. Daddy didn’t hesitate. He walked straight up to us. He climbed into our arms. And he held on. It was as if he was saying, “Please don’t leave me here.” He was thin. His coat was rough from poor nutrition. He had a scar on his arm. But despite it all, he was immediately loving, gentle, and trusting. We rushed him to our veterinarian for a full exam and bloodwork. The good news? Overall, Daddy is healthy. He simply needed to be dewormed and have a much-needed dental procedure (with quite a few teeth that had ti be pulled)to relieve discomfort and set him up for a comfortable future. Daddy is just one of 60 cats we’ve saved in 60 days through this program. The need in our rural community is staggering. Friendly cats are being abandoned. Unfixed cats are multiplying. And every single one deserves safety and care. This fundraiser will help cover Daddy’s vet bill so we can continue to say “yes” when the next cat climbs into our arms asking for help. Because when they ask us not to leave them behind, we don’t. Thank you for helping Daddy Long Legs take his next long steps toward a safe, loved future. 🖤 6/24/26 Update Thank you to everyone who supported this absolute sweetie through his healing journey. Thanks to you, he has made a full recovery and is doing fantastic! He has officially been adopted into his forever home! 6/24/26 Update 6/24/26 Update Thank you to everyone who supported this absolute sweetie through his healing journey.

Burrito
Burrito’s Comeback Journey
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
In May 2025, Flying Pig Sanctuary rescued Burrito from a property where he had been dumped alongside 25 other dogs. He had zero use of his hind end. He was skin and bones. Covered in hundreds of ticks. And emotionally, he was very close to giving up. That first day, as we bathed him and gently removed ticks from his frail body, something incredible happened. His tail wagged. That small movement told us everything: there was still fight in him. We rushed Burrito to a neurologist. After a CT scan and MRI, we learned this wasn’t a traumatic injury — it was a virus that had attacked his spine and deteriorated two vertebrae. The infection and inflammation had robbed him of movement, but his spinal cord was still intact. There was hope. We immediately began aggressive treatment to clear the infection and reduce the inflammation around the bone, praying that as his body healed, he might regain function. And Burrito has proven, over and over again, that he is a fighter. For months, he has traveled an hour and fifteen minutes each way to Chattanooga twice a week for acupuncture and intensive physical therapy, including the underwater treadmill. Through every appointment, every exercise, every long car ride, he has given it everything he has. Today, Burrito can: • Stand on his own • Take wobbly but determined steps • Hold himself upright And what he loves most? His wheelchair. On his wheels, Burrito runs with the pack — all 11 of our resident dogs. He plays. He chases. He cuddles. He sleeps in a pile of fur just like any other dog. Watching him come back from the brink of despair has been one of the most rewarding journeys we’ve ever experienced at the sanctuary. To continue Burrito’s progress, we need help with: • A new, improved custom wheelchair: $1,000–$1,500 • Weekly physical therapy & acupuncture: $250 per week • Ongoing travel expenses to Chattanooga Every dollar raised helps Burrito keep strengthening, healing, and defying the odds. Can you be the help he needs? 4/29/26 Update Thank you to everyone who supported Burrito on his healing journey! He is doing incredibly well! Flying Pigs Sanctuary recently took him to the vet for a UTI and to get a large bump on his hind leg checked out, but fortunately, it was nothing major, and Burrito is continuing to do well and is receiving lots of care and love.

Ziggy and Piggy
Help Ziggy and Piggy Find Stability
Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary
Nearly two years ago, a customer walked into a slaughterhouse with a pregnant sow. She gave birth shortly after arriving. At the customer’s request, the mother was killed for meat, and as regulations require, the newborn piglets were placed in the offal barrel. (Offal barrels hold discarded organs and byproducts to be reused as feed.) But the piglets survived. Flying Pigs Sanctuary received a call from a woman whose son worked at the slaughterhouse and couldn’t walk away from those tiny souls. They were welcomed at Flying Pig Sanctuary. They bottle-fed them around the clock, keeping them warm and safe. Flying Pigs Sanctuary is caring for them and helping to get them vet care until they are healthy enough to go to one of the best pig sanctuaries in the country. In the meantime, they’ve been a wonderful addition to their land—clearing weeds, rooting through the pasture, and living as pigs should. But as much as they love them, their space and resources are limited, and they want to ensure they have the best possible future. Flying Pigs Sanctuary is caring for many pigs and desperately needs your help to keep doing so. If you can donate any amount, we would be so grateful that you helped provide Ziggy and Piggy with the best care possible. Thank you. 8/8/26 Update Thank you to everyone who supported Iggy and Ziggy, now named Frodo and Sam, on their healing journey. Thanks to you, they received the medical care they needed and are now living their best lives.
