Siamese siblings
Orphaned Before They Were Even One Pound—These Tiny Siamese Babies Need Us
West Palm Beach, FL • Adopt A Cat Foundation
These two tiny Siamese siblings should still be safe and warm beside their mother. Instead, they are orphaned and fighting to survive. A Good Samaritan made a heartbreaking discovery when they found the kittens’ mother after she had been struck and killed by a car. Her babies were left behind, far too young to fend for themselves. Thankfully, the Good Samaritan didn't leave them there. They brought the fragile kittens to Adopt a Cat Foundation, where they could finally receive the care they desperately needed. These babies are not even one pound—and they are already seriously ill. Both kittens are battling a severe upper respiratory infection, and given their age and fragile condition, there may be other medical problems that we don't yet know about. They need to see a veterinarian immediately for diagnostics, treatment, and supportive care. At this age and size, even an illness that might be manageable in an adult cat can become incredibly dangerous. They have already lost their mother. Now, these two little siblings need people to stand in her place and fight for them. Adopt a Cat Foundation is committed to giving these babies every chance to survive, but their veterinary care comes at a cost. They will need examinations, diagnostic testing, medications, supportive care, and potentially intensive treatment as the veterinarians determine exactly what they are facing. Every donation, no matter how small, can help provide the medical care these kittens need to get stronger and grow into the healthy cats they were meant to become. And if you can't donate, please share their story. A simple share can help reach someone who can make a difference. They have already lost their mom. Let's make sure they don't lose their chance at life, too. ❤️
Vermax and Arrax
Help Vermax and Arrax get Neuter and Spayed
Huntington, WV • Bernies Buddies Rescue And Advocates
Arrax and Vermax are siblings around 4 to 5 months old. They were found along with their mom when they were very young. The finder rents and is not allowed to keep animals; he kept these little ones safe until they no longer needed their mother. The finder found our booth at an event and asked if we could help. The man just happened to stop by our booth right before one of our long-term fosters showed up. Of course, they were willing to help us with them. These two siblings need vaccines, testing for feline leukemia and FIV, deworming, flea prevention, microchipping, and spay/neuter surgery. Arrax loves to play in the sink, and Vermax enjoys napping with his foster human sister. These two sweet siblings are the best and deserve a great home.
Scotty
Scotty’s Painful Eye Condition Needed Urgent Surgery
Lantana, FL • Cathys Cats Corporation
Scotty had been surviving on the streets of Palm Beach County, where he was being fed near a coyote den. He had never been neutered and had never received the proper nutrition or care he desperately needed. His meals consisted of little more than cheap dollar-store food, and he was fading fast. When a cat advocate reached out to Cathy’s Cats Corporation for help, they couldn’t turn their backs on him. Scotty was suffering from entropion, a painful condition in which the eyelids roll inward, causing his eyelashes to grow toward and rub against his eyes. Every blink was causing irritation and pain, and he needed surgery as soon as possible to correct the problem and give him relief. Thankfully, Scotty received the surgery he desperately needed. He is now healing nicely and, with continued care, is expected to keep making progress in his new, safe environment. But the cost of Scotty’s emergency surgery has left Cathy’s Cats Corpora466tion without the funds they need to continue helping other vulnerable cats in Palm Beach County. Please consider donating to help cover Scotty’s medical expenses and allow Cathy’s Cats Corporation to keep saying “yes” to cats who have nowhere else to turn. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference—and sharing Scotty’s fundraiser can help reach even more people who may be willing to help. Together, we can make sure cats like Scotty don’t have to suffer alone.
Muffin
Someone Hurt Muffin. Now This Tiny Kitten Is Fighting for His Life.
Maryland, MD • Paws & Claws Animal Welfare Society Inc.
Muffin should have been spending his days playing, exploring, and discovering the world. Instead, this innocent kitten was found alone on the streets, abandoned, terrified, and suffering from injuries no animal should ever endure. The most heartbreaking injury is a deep, horrific wound across his neck that appears to have been intentionally inflicted. By the time rescuers found him, the wound had become severely infected, filled with pus, and was causing him unimaginable pain. But that wasn't all. Muffin was also dangerously dehydrated and burning with a high fever as his tiny body struggled to fight the overwhelming infection. Without immediate medical care, he may not have survived. He was rushed to the veterinary hospital, where he is now receiving around-the-clock treatment. Veterinarians have started antibiotics, intravenous fluids, pain medication, and wound management to stabilize him. His fever must come down, and the infection must be brought under control before surgeons can safely repair the devastating injury. Once his wound has been thoroughly cleaned and all infected tissue removed, Muffin will undergo surgery to close the injury with sutures. Even after surgery, he will need ongoing medications, bandage changes, and careful monitoring to ensure his little body can heal. Despite everything he has endured, Muffin continues to show the resilience that kittens are known for. Safe at last, he is finally receiving the compassion and care that has been missing from his young life. No kitten should ever know this kind of suffering. Your donation today will help provide the lifesaving veterinary care Muffin urgently needs—from hospitalization and antibiotics to surgery and follow-up treatment. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings this brave little survivor one step closer to a future free from pain. Please help give Muffin the chance to heal, recover, and experience what every kitten deserves: safety, love, and a life where the only thing around his neck is the gentle touch of someone who cares.
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.
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.
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.
Zita
Her Babies Are Gone. Now Zita Is Fighting for Her Own Life.
Boiling Springs, SC • South Carolina Community Cat Project
🐾 South Carolina Community Cat Project Needs Your Help Zita has already endured more heartbreak than any cat should ever have to face. After losing every one of her kittens, this sweet mama cat should have been given the chance to grieve and begin healing. Instead, she is now facing a life-threatening medical emergency of her own. Zita was rushed to the emergency veterinarian after developing a dangerously high fever of 105°F. Bloodwork revealed her white blood cell count had skyrocketed to over 42,000, a sign that her body was battling a severe infection. Veterinarians quickly determined the likely cause: stump pyometra, a rare but life-threatening infection that can occur after a previous spay surgery. The infection has rapidly progressed to sepsis, and without immediate surgery, Zita has less than 24 hours to live. She is in surgery today, but this emergency came without warning. Her emergency examination, diagnostics, hospitalization, stabilization, and lifesaving surgery have already created overwhelming veterinary expenses for South Carolina Community Cat Project, and there are still additional costs ahead as she recovers. Will you help save Zita's life? Every tax-deductible donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward the emergency care she needs to survive. If you're unable to give today, sharing Zita's story could help connect her with someone who can. Zita's heartbreaking journey is also a reminder of just how dangerous pregnancy and reproduction can be for community cats. Although she was no longer pregnant when she came into rescue, the physical toll of motherhood and complications that followed have left her fighting for her life. Rescue teams see tragedies like this far too often, which is why spaying cats before these emergencies occur is so important. Zita has already lost her babies. Please don't let her lose her life too. Today, she is surrounded by a veterinary team doing everything they can to save her. With your support, we can give this resilient mama the chance to recover, heal, and finally experience the safe, healthy future she deserves.
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.”
