Buddy
Help Buddy get Cystotomy Surgery — Bridgeport, CT
Bridgeport, CT
Buddy is a goofy, loving little soul who has been part of our family for years. He’s a hilarious mix of Jack Russell, Blue Heeler & Chihuahua, with a huge personality packed into 27 pounds. He loves being with his people, following us everywhere, and making us laugh. He’s not “just a dog”—he’s our family, and we’re fighting desperately for more time with our sweet boy. Buddy suffered a life-threatening urinary blockage and was urgently unblocked yesterday at VCA Shoreline Emergency Hospital. He now needs an emergency cystotomy to remove bladder stones and prevent another potentially fatal blockage. Highway Animal Hospital provided a $3,200 surgical estimate, but his surgery cannot be scheduled until we can secure the funds. Buddy was abandoned by his previous owner, and when he came to us, he was deeply depressed and had lost his spark. I stepped up for him, and slowly, he became himself again. Today, he is incredibly attached to me, Missy, and Roxie—we are his whole world, and he is ours. We gave Buddy a family when he needed one, and now we desperately want the chance to give him more happy years with us. Buddy’s blockage happened suddenly, leaving us facing an emergency we weren’t prepared for. We’ve done everything we can to stabilize him, but his $3,200 surgery is beyond what we can afford. We’re asking our community to help us give Buddy the surgery he desperately needs.
Cornflake
Cornflake is a 2-year-old Domestic Short Hair Cat in New Haven, CT, who needs $2,000 for Doxycycline and Full-Mouth Extraction.
New Haven, CT • The Greater New Haven Cat Project, Inc.
Cornflake was rescued in New Haven in Nov. 2022. His front feet were swollen (Pillow Feet diagnosis), requirning a long-term course of doxycycline. Once his feet healed, he developed stomatitis, requiring a full-mouth extraction. He is living in a foster home and after 7 months of care, attention and love, Cornflake is fully healed and ready for adoption! Cornflake has 3 favorite resident cats at his foster home who play with him, and he loves to eat. He has a lot of energy and is very "enthusiastic" with his cardboard scratcher. Cornflake primarily eats canned food, but also enjoys smaller dry kibble as a supplement, and soft cat treats. He is very social with people and enjoys watching the birds from inside the house. He would enjoy cat company. Cornflake is special because he was originally a "discarded cat" whose family abandoned him. He found a feral colony where he could eat, but his friendly demeanor left him vulnerable to living outside. He keeps himself very clean, and has good litter box skills, and enjoys interacting with humans for pets, or for playing with toys on a wand. He would not have survived if he wasn't rescued. People who feed outdoor cats do their best, but often these cats do not eat nutritionally balanced food. Cornflake appeared to be healthy at first, but the 2 disorders for which he was treated confirmed he was immunocompromised and needed more care. With antibiotics, diligence, and good food, he is looking wonderful! GNHCP is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization supported by donations and grants to carry out its mission to humanely address cat overpopulation through spay/neuter. When a cat is rescued and requires extraordinary veterinary care, it places a burden on financial resources.
Leo
Leo is a 4-year-old Mancoon in Madison, CT, who needs $500 for bladder blockage.
Madison, CT
I rescued him and he has made my life full of happiness and joy, I love him sooooo much!!! He lives a happy and healthy life, has a baby brother and is in a safe warm environment. Also gets lots of love hugs and kisses. He gets water and there are 2 food dishes and 3 litter boxes for my 2 cats. I have a number of beds for them throughout my place as well. It's just me and my brother who lives next door also watches after him and his brother when I am away for more than a couple of nights. Adores my boyfriend. But mostly he likes and adores his mommy. He protects me and I make sure he is always happy! He adores my brother and enjoys his company, and that is why I adopted another cat so he would have a brother. I just don't have a great income but I am working on that and of course Covid messed up a lot of my money issues. I didn't have an income for a while and had bills to pay of course and now I'm still catching up. He has a bladder blockage which I don't really know how to explain it but that I am scared to death for him. He is my baby and he needs surgery and I just don't have the finances right now, which is why I am in a panic, but he is so young and all I want is for him to get better, he doesn't deserve this. He is special because I rescued him when I was going through a hard time in my life and knew I needed a friend. Also he is just like me, very stubborn but very loving, and super sassy and does random cute things like rolls over and makes these little grunt noises which are soo cute, also he always let's me know if his food dish is just a little too empty!
