Seraphina

Seraphina's tiny body has endured the unimaginable. Will you help?

Harrisburg, PA • Castaway Critters, The James A. Hueholt Memorial Foundation for Animals

This little kitten is fighting for her life after suffering devastating injuries to both of her back legs and her tail. Veterinarians believe she was very recently struck by the blades of a riding mower, traumatically amputating her legs and part of her tail. The blood loss left her severely anemic, and her dangerously high white blood cell count indicates she is also battling an infection. Now, necrotic tissue on her legs and tail must be cleaned away—an extremely painful procedure requiring sedation if her bloodwork remains stable. She’ll need at least 12 hours of emergency veterinary care as her doctors continue to stabilize her. Right now, everything is being taken hour by hour. But there are reasons to hope: she is eating, she is holding on, and she is fighting. ❤️‍🩹 Castaway Critters is fighting right alongside her and showing this tiny girl that her life matters. As her veterinarian said, “This little girl is a true fighter!” Please consider donating toward her emergency care, procedures, medications, and recovery. No amount is too small when a life this fragile is hanging in the balance. Hold on, tiny baby. So many people are rooting for you.

Jackson

Jackson Deserves a Second Chance: Help Fund His Lifesaving Surgery

Royal Palm Beach, FL • My Why Rescue

Jackson’s story could have ended at a county shelter. Instead, This Is Why Rescue stepped up to give him the chance he desperately needed. Now, after surviving a medical crisis, this sweet boy is facing another major hurdle—and he needs our help to get through it. When Jackson was found in a residential yard, he was reportedly suffering from an injury and struggling in the heat. At approximately 4–5 years old, he should have had so much life ahead of him. Instead, he found himself in a shelter, facing an uncertain future. Thankfully, This Is Why Rescue intervened and gave him the chance to fight for a better tomorrow. Shortly after his rescue, Jackson developed serious breathing difficulties and was rushed for emergency veterinary care. He spent a week hospitalized while veterinarians worked to manage pneumonia, repeated vomiting and regurgitation, and difficulty keeping food down. Despite treatment, Jackson’s condition remained complicated. Further testing revealed a hiatal hernia, a condition in which part of the stomach moves upward through an opening in the diaphragm and into the chest. This can cause food and stomach contents to flow backward into the esophagus, creating painful inflammation and increasing the risk of aspiration pneumonia when material enters the lungs. Jackson’s doctors believe surgical repair is necessary to address the underlying problem and give him a better chance at eating safely and recovering. After a week in the hospital, Jackson was finally stable enough to be discharged into a temporary foster home. It was a welcome step forward, but his medical journey was far from over. Jackson Needs Surgery—and We Need Your Help On October 9, Jackson was scheduled to undergo surgery to repair his hiatal hernia. The estimated cost of the procedure is $5,150–$6,670, on top of the thousands of dollars already spent on his emergency hospitalization, diagnostic testing, and treatment. This Is Why Rescue has already dipped into its emergency funds to cover Jackson’s care. Now, they need help replenishing those funds and managing the significant additional expense of his surgery and ongoing medical needs. And surgery is not the end of Jackson’s journey. He is extremely thin and still has heartworm disease and other medical concerns that will require attention as he continues to recover. Jackson has already overcome so much. He went from facing an uncertain fate at a county shelter to receiving emergency treatment, finding temporary safety, and getting a chance at the medical care he needs. Now, he needs us to help him take the next step. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help This Is Why Rescue manage Jackson’s mounting veterinary expenses and continue providing the care he needs. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing his campaign with friends, family, and fellow animal lovers. Please donate today to help Jackson get the care he needs. Together, we can help give this deserving boy the second chance he almost never had.

West

West Was Dumped in a Hop Field With a Devastating Injury

Issaquah, WA • Pacific Rim Rescue

Six-month-old West was found with his mama, India, dumped miles from the nearest main road in the middle of the hop orchards of Washington’s Yakima Valley. Agricultural workers discovered the injured puppy and his mother, and our rescue partner on the Yakama Reservation immediately stepped in to get them to safety. West desperately needed medical attention. A massive wound stretched from his back right shoulder, around his body and toward his left chest. His fur and even the wound itself were packed with cheat grass and painful sharp awns, leaving him with extensive damage. Less than 10 hours after arriving in our care, West was at our veterinary partner undergoing emergency surgery. Once surgery began, we discovered that the damage was even more extensive than it first appeared. Our veterinary team had to enlarge the incision to carefully remove debris and damaged tissue, thoroughly clean the wound, and repair the extensive injuries. They quite literally put this little puppy back together. Now, he's receiving the wound care he needs and beginning his recovery. We don't know how West and his mama ended up abandoned in those fields, and we may never know. But we do know that West deserved better, and we are determined to support his healing. Your donation will help Pacific Rim Rescue cover the veterinary care West has already received, including his emergency surgery, wound treatment, medications, follow-up care, and the continued care he needs as he recovers. West should have been spending his puppyhood playing and growing up with his family. Instead, he was left injured and alone in a remote field. Now he has a rescue family fighting for him. Please help us give West the care he needs to heal and grow into a happy, healthy dog. Every donation and share helps us continue saying yes to dogs like West when they need us most. ❤️

Diamond

Help Diamond Recover From Her Massive Hernia Repair

Rockville, MD • Miri’s Haven Senior Dog Rescue

When Diamond arrived at Miri’s Haven Senior Dog Rescue, rescuers were stunned by what this tiny 8-year-old Chihuahua had been carrying. At just 8 pounds, Diamond had a massive inguinal hernia so severe that her abdominal organs had pushed outside of her body and were hanging between her legs, dragging along the ground. There was also a second hernia on the opposite side. It is impossible to know how long Diamond lived this way or how she survived without the hernia becoming damaged or rupturing. The situation was incredibly serious, and a specialist surgeon was brought in to give Diamond a chance. Thankfully, she made it through her surgery. But this was far more complicated than a routine hernia repair. Her surgeons carefully returned her displaced organs to her abdominal cavity and repaired both hernias using specialty surgical techniques and biological mesh to reinforce the repairs. Diamond was also spayed, and her spleen had to be removed because it had become unhealthy after spending so much time outside of her abdomen. Diamond survived the surgery—but her medical journey is far from over. The surgery cost thousands, and she now needs significant postoperative care and monitoring. The next several days are critical as her body adjusts to everything being back where it belongs and as her surgical repairs are closely monitored. Her care team must also watch carefully for complications while she heals from this extensive procedure. And there are still additional veterinary needs ahead, including a dental once Diamond is stable. That means donations are still desperately needed. Even though Diamond made it through the surgery we were all hoping she would survive, the veterinary bills did not end when she left the operating room. In fact, this is only the beginning of the care she will need to recover. Miri’s Haven made the decision to give Diamond a chance because this sweet little dog deserved to know what it feels like to be comfortable and loved. Now they need help covering the cost of the lifesaving surgery, hospitalization, medications, follow-up care, and the treatment still ahead. For now, Diamond is resting comfortably with pain medication on board. Her organs are back where they belong. Her hernias have been repaired. And most importantly, she is still here. 💜 Please consider donating toward Diamond’s ongoing medical care. Every contribution helps Miri’s Haven continue caring for her through this critical recovery and gives this tiny senior girl the chance to finally live without the enormous burden she has carried for far too long. Diamond made it through surgery. Now let's help her make it through recovery. 🙏🐾

Zues

Help Zues get the care he Deserves

Brevard County, FL • Isla's Journey Inc

Zues deserves a chance at a better life, AND A PUPDATE!!! Zues was found roaming an area known as the “compound” in Palm Bay, Florida, which is unfortunately a dumping ground for dogs. We don't know much about his past or how he ended up there, but we do know that he needs help. His skin is in seriously rough shape, and he has wounds all over his body. Now, Zues needs antibiotics, allergy medication, and high-protein food to help support his recovery. He also still needs to be neutered. Caring for Zues and getting him the care he needs comes with expenses, and his rescuers are hoping for a little help to make it possible. We're raising $1,000 to help cover Zues's medical needs, food, and neuter procedure. Every donation, whether it's $5, $10, $25, or whatever you're able to give, even a share can help get Zues one step closer to feeling better. Zues's past may be a mystery, but his future can be filled with care, comfort, and love. With your support, we can help give this boy the fresh start he deserves. Please consider donating or sharing Zues's story. Every bit of support makes a difference and is greatly appreciated! PUPDATE!!!!! 10/21/26 Zues has started his medications and has been very receptive to them! He has been taking them for about a week and we are already noticing changes!

Sugar

Sugar's Tiny World Was Shattered: Help Save His Injured Eye

White Plains, MD • Paws & Claws Animal Welfare Society Inc.

Sugar is only three months old. At an age when he should be discovering the world, playing with toys, and curling up somewhere warm and safe, this tiny kitten has already experienced unimaginable cruelty. After being abandoned by his owner, Sugar was left to fend for himself on the streets. Instead of finding kindness, he was reportedly abused and beaten, suffering severe trauma to his eye. This innocent baby, who should have been protected and loved, was left injured and vulnerable through no fault of his own. Thankfully, Paws and Claws Animal Welfare has stepped in to give Sugar the chance he deserves. But his road to recovery is only beginning. Sugar's eye has sustained severe trauma, and right now, the rescue is doing everything possible to determine whether it can be saved. The first priority is to stabilize him and begin treatment with medication to address his injury and give his eye the best possible chance of healing. His condition will need to be closely monitored as the veterinary team assesses his response to treatment. There is still uncertainty about what the future holds. If the damage is too severe and his eye cannot be saved, Sugar will need surgery to have it removed. No matter what happens, he deserves relief from his pain and the opportunity to grow up without fear. Emergency veterinary evaluations, medications, follow-up visits, and potentially surgery will create significant expenses for Paws and Claws Animal Welfare. The rescue is committed to helping Sugar, but they cannot do it alone. Your donation will help cover his veterinary treatment, medication, monitoring, and possible eye removal surgery if it becomes necessary. Sugar cannot change what happened to him. He cannot tell us how frightened or painful this experience has been. But we can make sure that his story doesn't end with suffering. At just three months old, he still has his whole life ahead of him. Whether he ultimately keeps his eye or needs surgery, he deserves to heal, feel safe, and discover what it means to be loved. Please donate today to help Sugar receive the treatment he desperately needs. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings him one step closer to a brighter future. If you cannot donate, sharing his story can help us reach someone who can. Let's show Sugar that even after experiencing cruelty, there are people who will fight for him, protect him, and give him the chance to grow into the happy, loved cat he was always meant to be. ❤️🐾
