Parker
Parker is a 9 month old Mix-Breed in Burns, TN, who needs $2,000 for Thoracentesis and supportive care for pyometria.
Burns, TN • Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue
Parker was living in a colony of cats cared for by a compassionate community member, who noticed she wasn’t feeling well and reached out to our volunteers for help. After spending nearly two hours carefully trapping her, we were able to get Parker to the vet for urgent care. At just about 9 months old, Parker was diagnosed with pyometra—a life-threatening uterine infection caused by not being spayed. She had pus draining from her vulva and required immediate surgery. On Monday, she underwent an emergency spay to remove the infected uterus. Unfortunately, Parker has had a difficult recovery. She wasn’t improving as expected, and further diagnostics revealed a pneumothorax—air trapped in her chest cavity—along with ongoing infection related to the pyometra. Despite antibiotics, she has been running a high fever of around 105°F throughout the week. Based on our trusted veterinarians’ recommendations, Parker has been transferred for specialized care. She is currently hospitalized, receiving a thoracentesis to remove the air from her chest, along with IV antibiotics and pain management. Despite everything she’s been through, Parker has been incredibly sweet and loving. Everyone who has met her has commented on her gentle, affectionate nature. She truly deserves this chance to live, and we remain hopeful and optimistic about her recovery.
Ryan
Found Severely Injured & Struggling to Breathe, Ryan Needs Emergency Surgery for Diaphragmatic Hernia & Tail Amputation
Burns, TN • Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue
Ryan’s Medical Journey Ryan is a young rescue kitten who initially came into our care with a traumatic tail injury after being found outdoors. While receiving treatment, he began experiencing severe weight loss and labored breathing. Diagnostic testing and imaging ultimately revealed the cause: a diaphragmatic hernia, a life-threatening condition in which abdominal organs had moved into his chest cavity, compressing his lungs. Ryan underwent emergency surgery to repair the hernia. During the procedure, his stomach, spleen, a majority of his liver, and a portion of his small intestine were carefully removed from his thoracic cavity and repositioned into the abdomen. The defect in his diaphragm was surgically repaired. Additionally, the necrotic portion of his tail was amputated to prevent further infection and complications. Following surgery, Ryan experienced an elevated heart rate and required transfer to emergency care for intensive monitoring during the critical first 48 hours of recovery. He successfully made it through this high-risk period and was discharged to foster care under strict crate rest and close observation. Since then, Ryan has continued to steadily improve. His breathing has stabilized, his strength is returning, and he is showing his affectionate, social personality — soaking up attention and thriving in a safe, loving environment. Ryan’s prognosis is cautiously optimistic, and continued supportive care will ensure he has the best possible chance at a full recovery and a healthy future. 8/12/26 Update We are thrilled to share the happy ending Ryan always deserved. He has made a full recovery, regained his strength, and is now thriving. Even better, Ryan has been adopted and is in a loving forever home. We couldn't have done it without you!
Moses
Moses is a 5 year old Maltese in hendersonville, TN, who needs $2,000 for CT Scan and Portosystemic Shunt Surgery.
hendersonville, TN
Moses presented to Montgomery County Animal Control as a stray. Shortly after being taken in he began having neurological symptoms. Middle Tennessee Veterinary Center took over his care - he is currently living with/being fostered by the doctor and another staff member. Moses was diagnosed with a suspected portosystemic shunt and was scheduled for an internal medicine consult at a local specialty hospital. Unfortunately, Moses' condition rapidly deteriorated and he was admitted through the ER where he has remained for stabilization over the weekend. He will get a CT Scan to assess him for surgery to correct the shunt on 7/21/25. Moses is the sweetest boy and has stolen our hearts in the short time he has been in our care. He adores children and loves to be carried around in a sling or a bag. As Moses does not technically have a forever home yet he has become the financial responsibility of the fosters (the doctor at Middle TN vet) and other staff members. We want to be able to save him as he is still fairly young and has lots of life and love left to give!
