Highway
Highway is a 2-year-old cat in Norwalk, CT, who needs $2,000 for surgical intervention with the need for metal plates to stabilize both fractures.
Norwalk, CT • Pet Animal Welfare Society
Highway, aptly named as he was found at a Rest Stop on I95, was discovered by State Police on January 24th near the New Canaan exit. The cat was abandoned by his owner and left in a carrier by the side of the rest stop. The State Officers immediately suspected abuse as they noticed that the cat struggled when walking and that one eye was ruptured. The cat looked like he was in terrible pain! New Canaan Animal Control reached out to Pet Animal Welfare Society of CT or PAWS to join forces to help Highway. PAWS is a nonprofit dedicated to the rescue and adoption of our communities homeless and abused cats and dogs. Highway was quickly made comfortable and was seen by the PAWS’ vet. X rays validated our worst suspicion – according to our vet, Highway was definitely abused. Despite his extensive injuries, Highway maintains his sweet temperament and disposition. He is a very sweet cat who will definitely find a forever home. Highway has a very different and rewarding life ahead of him, thanks to the quick thinking and action of the State Police and New Canaan Animal Control. Highway suffered fractures in both front legs. Highway will require expensive surgical intervention with the need for metal plates to stabilize both fractures. In addition to his broken legs, Highway suffers from a painful, ruptured eye which will be removed by PAWS' in-house medical team. Our vet suspects that the eye was punctured with a sharp object. Highway’s fractures will be performed by an outsourced veterinary clinic, costing thousands of dollars. On behalf of Highway, a huge thank you in advance. You are the true heroes of animal rescue and your generosity and support give animals like Highway a second chance.
William
William is a 16-year-old Mixed short haired. in Lafayette, TN, who needs $311 for Office visit Blood work and medicine..
Lafayette, TN
William was found in a parking lot. He was crying out for help, and he sounded exactly like a baby crying. When he was found, we took him to the Vet. He needed a complete oral extraction and part of his jaw. That's why his tongue always hangs out on the left side of his mouth. He was 12 years old. He's 16 now and more spry than the one year olds we have. He's a complete snuggle bug. William is the King of the castle. Though he is tiny, old and only has 3 teeth, even our 20 pound cat fears him. On the other hand, he cuddles up with me at 10:30 every evening and falls asleep on my chest. When I move, he make an eh noise. His throat was injured on the streets. He can't meow.Hes a lover, and a protector If you meet this fella, you'll fall in love with him too. We are a one income family. William has some sort of head cold going on. We don't have the extra funds to get it taken care of. Please help him. Anything will be appreciated. I'm so afraid he's going to get too sick. He's a tiny little old man. He weighs 6 pounds and is the size of a six month old. God bless you and thank you for reading William's story. The Vets bill will be approximately 368 dollars. This includes the Office visit,blood work panel, 2 shot and medicine. He will be treated at our Vet's office, Macon County Veterinary Hospital. Dr Miller is very familiar with William. Dr Miller is the only one we allow to see him. I can pay 75 of it, but I need help with the rest. I work in a factory, where I manufacture pet food. With COVID, our hours have been slashed. We are barely holding on. There is no end in site, but William is not getting better. If you can, please help William regain his health. I thank you in advance for anything you can do
Royal
Royal is a 7-month-old Yorkshire terrier in Philadelphia , PA, who needs $2,920 for Liver shunt.
Philadelphia, PA
Royal came into my life in august 2022 as a birthday gift when he was 8 weeks old, and he is now around 7 months. He currently lives with me, and my other puppy Koda who is about 6 months old. When I received royal he was already given his name but I really liked the name for him so I decided not to change it. After having royal for two weeks I decided to get him his brother Koda for company Royal is the star of the house hold! He is a very active puppy and likes to jump up and down and fight/play with Koda all day long. Typically, royal sleeps with me in the bed, his bed in my bedroom, or his bed in the living room. Royal spends his day playing on my balcony, fighting with Koda, jumping up on the couch, running back and fourth in the apartment, playing with his toys & me &my friends Royal is the best at cuddling, if you’re sitting/ laying down royal will come up under you and lay on you. He also LOVES biting/licking ears I like to believe it’s his way of saying he loves you. He is the boss of all the toys, he loves to take all the toys and put them onto the couch because he knows Koda can not jump up on the couch and he’ll watch Koda try to jump up as he plays with the toys Royal has a liver shunt problem & needs surgery in order to fix this. He currently is on medication to help control his symptoms of confusion, head nodding, seizures & vomiting. If he gets surgery it will fully fix his problem & he’ll no longer need medication and can continue to grow healthy. Surgery is pricey &as of now I’m deciding between 2 vets to perform it depending on who will be cheaper I live alone and work as a cleaner, I’m unable to afford surgery and have been trying to save as much as I can. It would be great to get royal this surgery so we’ll never have to experience seizures again &actually see him live a normal life without medications and have fun

Mollie
Mollie is a 12-year-old Alaskan M alamute/Border Collie in St Joseph, MO, who needs $1,100 for Orthopedic leg brace, cost of sedating and doing the leg casting for brace.
St Joseph, MO
Hello, I got "MOLLIE" when my son was leaving after highschool for the military. I just knew that I would be completely devastated emotionally and realized that having something else to care for would lessen my grief. The man that worked on vehicle for me knew of these people who's Alaskan Malamute who had a litter of pups. They were free with one stipulation, I had to write a letter to them. Mollie loves her people and tolerates her little brother and sister. She lost her other little brother Zeus in 2020 and it left us all devastated including her. She's 12 but is still full of vigor and life. She used to play tug of war and win most of the time. She loves her chew chews, and is always ready for cuddles. Mollie and my son have howl fests frequently and once a month when the tornado siren in my front yard goes off. She's always been curious about everything and a go getter. She used to run like the wind, I mean 30-40 miles and hour, she was fast. She has slowed down but we can tell she still wants to go, but can't without her leg being strong enough. Mollie blew out her left ACL in March of 2020 and we immediately set up the surgery. She blew the right out in Sept of 2020, the same month we lost Zeus, but we set up the surgery and just kept pushing on. She had to have surgery again on the right leg because of the band loosening. Dr. Randall Schildnect from Twin Pines Vet Clinic has been nothing but wonderful and gracious to this beautiful girl I'm a 56 year old mom who has had back surgery, a spinal fusion, and my son works nights which pretty much leaves me to do all the dog stuff, including lifting her in the back door as she can't jump. Brace alone is $899. Brace will help rebuild strength in her leg.

Witch's Brew
Witch's Brew is a 7-year-old Domestic Short Hait in Miami Beach, FL, who needs $917 for Major Tumor Removal and Culture and Sensitivity (Aerobic and Anaerobic).
Miami Beach, FL • SoBe Cats
Witch’s Brew was pulled from 74th St of Miami Beach in August because some good samaritans thought she was a sick kitten. She turned out to just be an extremely petite 7 yr old adult. I brought her to my home in SC (satellite foster location for SoBe Cats) to treat for the upper respiratory infection and to be placed for adoption. I have an interested adopter for her! She loves to cuddle with the resident cat and seeks affection ftom my husband as well. She’s so cuddly! I hold her every night until she falls asleep and then slide her off to the side and tuck her in with her blanket. She is in very food spirits despite her ongoing illness, which makes me hopeful that she can make a full recovery. She’s the most gentle soul I’ve met in my rescue work like a little timid child so I hope we can fix her up and continue her furever journey. She's super cute at only 5 lbs full grown. She loves to drop her head down and rub the top of her head on my leg until I pick her up. It's really adorable the way she puts her ears back when she's happy and purring. She went for dental cleaning/bloodwork and came back healthy save the cold and SNAP test that indicated she is FIV positive. After several courses of antibiotics, she is still having recurrent nasal drainage so we need to get some lab tests to figure out what’s making her sick. She also has an ear polyp that she’s been scratching at and making it bleed. I have run her fundraiser twice on Facebook and Instagram, but unfortunately she’s not pulling in many donations because it’s hard to show her condition in photos. People like to donate to cats with obvious conditions like an eye out of socket.
Sebastian Baker Wolf
Sebastian Baker Wolf is a 7.5-year-old DSH Brown Tabby in Tacoma, WA, who needs $795 for Xrays to dx respiratory condition, surgery to remove mast cell tumor.
Tacoma, WA
Sebastian Baker Wolf - Wolfie - came into my life as a foster cat in August of 2021. He was thin, depressed, and frightened. He had a diagnosis of Feline Hemotrophic Mycoplasmosis, but he also had respiratory issues and I discovered a small cluster of lumps under his left ear. Attempts to have these issues addressed with the shelter failed, so long story short, I adopted him. Wolfie has made great strides from being a fearful creature who hid in the shadows most of the time to becoming the brave cuddle bug is now. He isn't thin any more - in fact, he's a little bit chubby, oops - and he gets along fine with his pigeon brother Theo. He loves the ladder and the window sill, red dot, and string toys. (He does not care about catnip or boxes.) Wolfie's personality blooms a little more each day. I thought he might always be painfully shy, but now he treats me to daily headbonks and purring cuddles. He has a nice bunch of adoring fans on Instagram who applaud his progress, and this has been wonderful. Maybe the funniest thing he does is sit on top of the cat/pigeon ladder and make himself into funny bread dough shapes every day. Wolfie was in bad shape when someone dropped him off at the shelter last June. At about 7 years old he wasn't neutered. He was very thin and had FHM, which seems to have cleared. He's had ear infections and a hard time with fleas, which we finally got under control. He will be getting x-rays to diagnose his respiratory problems and we await a surgery date to remove his mast cell tumor. I'm on a fixed income. I try to cover as much as I possibly can from my own budget, but occasionally a vet bill is bigger than I can handle. Wolfie has never been in the best of health. I'm hoping that will change soon!
