Jessie

Help Jessie Heal After Two Broken Legs

Winchester, VA • Dakota's Dream Animal Rescue

At just four months old, a tiny kitten should be spending her days chasing toys, exploring the world, and discovering all the joys of being young. Instead, Jessie was found suffering from devastating injuries to both of her back legs. When kindhearted Good Samaritans discovered Jessie, they rushed her to Pet Urgent Care, where veterinarians quickly realized just how serious her condition was. Her left femur was shattered, her right tibia was broken, and she was in tremendous pain. She was also slightly anemic and covered in ticks. Thankfully, Jessie found her way into the loving care of Dakota's Dream Animal Rescue, but her journey was only beginning. Initially, veterinarians feared that Jessie's left leg was so badly damaged that amputation would be her only option. For a kitten who had barely begun her life, the thought of losing a leg was heartbreaking. But her rescue team wasn't ready to give up hope. Jessie was taken to Animal Medical Center, where specialists evaluated her injuries and explored every possible option to save both legs. Against the odds, surgeons were able to repair both of Jessie's broken legs! Her extensive surgery involved placing pins in her shattered left femur, a plate in her right tibia, and performing a femoral head ostectomy (FHO) on her left hip. It was an enormous procedure for such a tiny kitten, but Jessie made it through surgery and began the long road toward recovery. Unfortunately, her struggles didn't end there. Just as everyone hoped Jessie was finally on the mend, she developed a fever and had to be rushed back to Animal Medical Center. Veterinarians discovered that one of the pins used to repair her broken leg had come loose, requiring yet another surgery. After everything this little girl has already endured, Jessie is still facing additional veterinary visits and an uncertain road to recovery. Her young body has been through so much, and the costs of her emergency care, orthopedic surgeries, medications, and follow-up appointments continue to add up for Dakota's Dream Animal Rescue. Despite all the pain and challenges she's faced, Jessie has been described by her veterinarian as a beautiful, kind soul. She deserves the chance to grow up knowing comfort, love, and all the little adventures that make being a kitten so special. Please consider making a donation to help Dakota's Dream Animal Rescue with the mounting costs of Jessie's medical care. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps support this sweet little girl's continued recovery and gives her rescue team one less financial burden to worry about. Jessie has already fought through so much in her short life. Let's help make the next chapter of her story a happier one.

Pumpkin

Pumpkin has one surgery behind him and an uncertain road ahead. Please give him comfort.

Oakland, NJ • Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge

RBARI's sweet Pumpkin has undergone surgery to remove his horribly injured eye and is recovering in the hospital. This little boy has already endured too much, and they're grateful that this pain is finally behind him! But Pumpkin's medical journey is far from over. Once he has recovered from surgery, his veterinary team will assess his mobility and discomfort in his injured leg to determine if anything more can be done to save it. There is still a possibility that Pumpkin will need his leg amputated. At just seven months old and 20 pounds, Pumpkin has experienced more suffering than any puppy should. They don't know how long he was living with these injuries before he was found, but they are determined to give him every chance at a comfortable, happy future. Please help RBARI in giving Pumpkin the best care and most comfortable life possible. It is saddening that he might have to learn to live with only three limbs. Please help them in the fight for Pumpkin. Any donation, no matter the amount, makes a huge difference.

Theodore

What Started as a Cough Turned Into a Medical Emergency for Theodore

Delray Beach, FL • Camy’s CatLand Rescue Inc.

Theodore was finally safe. Then, one night, his foster watched helplessly as this tiny kitten struggled to breathe. Only a couple of months ago, Theodore was a helpless, one month old kitten living in a parking lot. Far too young to be facing the dangers of life outdoors, he was rescued by Camy's Catland and welcomed into a foster home where he could finally experience the warmth, safety, and love every kitten deserves. For a little while, Theodore's difficult beginning seemed to be behind him. Then he started coughing. At first, it was coughing, sneezing, and shaking his head. His rescuers suspected an upper respiratory infection and immediately began treatment, hoping they had caught it early. But within days, something was terribly wrong. Theodore's foster noticed that he had become unusually quiet and weak. His energy was disappearing, and then came the most frightening sign of all. Theodore was breathing through his mouth because he was struggling to get enough air. For a kitten so young and small, this was an emergency. His rescuers rushed him to the ER, terrified by how quickly he had deteriorated. He was started on antibiotics, but the following morning, he needed even more veterinary care. X-rays and additional testing revealed the heartbreaking reason behind his breathing difficulties. Theodore had pneumonia. Instead of being home playing and enjoying his kittenhood, this sweet little boy spent the next three days hospitalized, receiving treatment while his rescuers anxiously waited for him to improve. Theodore has already overcome so much in his short life. He survived being abandoned to the dangers of a parking lot as a tiny baby, only to face another frightening battle after finally finding safety. And his fight isn't over yet. His recovery is still ongoing, and he may need additional hospital stays, medications, and veterinary monitoring as his little body works to heal. His initial emergency visit alone cost $400, with X-rays, testing, three days of hospitalization, and continued treatment adding to the mounting expenses. Theodore should be spending his days chasing toys, exploring his foster home, and growing into the happy, healthy cat he deserves to become. Instead, he's been fighting an illness that has made something as simple as breathing a struggle. Please consider donating or sharing Theodore's story to help his rescuers cover his emergency care, hospitalization, and continued treatment. This sweet little boy has his whole life ahead of him. We want nothing more than to see him healthy enough to enjoy it.

Tippy

Tippy survived a brutal attack. Will you be his hero?

Murphy, TX • CAMO Rescue

Seven-year-old Tippy, a tiny 20-pound Shih Tzu, was brutally attacked and mauled by a much larger dog. When he was found, he was barely responsive, lying in a pool of blood. Tippy was rushed to the emergency vet by CAMO Rescue, where doctors performed emergency surgery on his neck to repair his devastating wounds. He now has five drain tubes in place and will need continued wound care, bandage changes, medication, and time to heal. ❤️‍🩹 The wonderful news is that Tippy made it through the night. But this brave little guy still has a long recovery ahead. Please consider donating $5, $10, $20—or whatever you can—to help cover Tippy’s emergency care and recovery. Every donation makes a difference, and this sweet little guy deserves every ounce of love and support. 🐾 Tippy fought through the night. Let’s fight for him now.

Pretzel

Rescued From a Pond With a Broken Leg: Help Pretzel Heal

Houston, TX • ThisIsHouston

When Pretzel was found in a pond at a scrapyard, she was in desperate need of help. This sweet puppy had an open fracture with exposed bone in one of her back legs and another injury in the second back leg. It was obvious that she had clearly been suffering for days. She was rushed to an emergency veterinary clinic, where she arrived extremely pale, covered in fleas and ticks, and with maggots around her mouth and wounds. Pretzel was critically anemic and needed a blood transfusion and blood pressure support immediately. Thankfully, Pretzel has been fighting hard. She responded beautifully to her blood transfusion, and her PCV has been slowly improving. Beneath all that fluffy puppy fur, however, Pretzel is incredibly thin with very little muscle mass. Her veterinary team is having to carefully manage her nutrition because she is at risk for refeeding syndrome after being so malnourished. Her injuries have also been extensive. Pretzel had a large hotspot on the right side of her neck that was filled with maggots and required shaving and extensive cleaning. Her most serious injury is to her right tibia, which is fractured, along with several broken toes on that same foot. The ER team spent approximately 1½ hours cleaning and treating her wounds. And the injury wasn't brand new. X-rays showed bone remodeling around the fracture, indicating that Pretzel's leg had likely been broken for 5–7 days before she was rescued. She had been carrying that painful injury while trying to survive. Fortunately, her pelvis and hips look healthy, giving her a much better outlook for the future. After consulting with specialists and getting a second opinion, the veterinary team determined that amputation is the best option for Pretzel. Attempting to save the leg would mean prolonged confinement, multiple procedures, potentially additional surgeries as she grows, and no guarantee that the leg could ultimately be saved. Even more concerning, her injured leg is an active source of infection. Amputation will give Pretzel the best opportunity to heal, get comfortable, and get back to doing what a puppy should be doing — playing, exploring, and enjoying life. Her medical records also revealed several rib fractures that weren't initially known. Thankfully, those injuries should heal on their own and won't require surgery, but they're another reminder of just how much this little girl has endured. Despite everything, Pretzel continues to surprise everyone with how well she's doing. Her PCV is currently holding steady at 18%, so she has thankfully avoided another blood transfusion for now. She's eating well on her own and has transitioned to oral medications. Her amputation is scheduled for Friday. Pretzel's road to recovery is still going to be a long one. She needs surgery, continued monitoring, medications, wound care, nutrition, and ongoing veterinary support as her tiny body heals from her injuries and neglect. But brighter days are ahead for this little girl. Pretzel has already survived the hardest part: being alone, injured, and suffering. Now she just needs the chance to heal. Please consider donating to help This Is Houston cover Pretzel's extensive veterinary care and give this sweet puppy the healthy, happy future she deserves. ❤️‍🩹🥨 Every donation helps keep her on the road from survival to recovery.

Mila

Mila Was Abandoned on the Streets. Now She’s Fighting to Survive.

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

Mila’s story is heartbreaking. This little cat was found alone on the streets of Egypt by a Paws & Claws Animal Welfare volunteer, still with her IV catheter in place and in devastating condition. Someone had clearly sought veterinary care for Mila, but when the cost of treatment became too much, she was abandoned rather than given the chance to recover. Sadly, this is a reality far too common for vulnerable animals in Egypt. Her rescuer knew she couldn’t wait. Paws & Claws rushed Mila straight to the hospital, where she urgently needed medical attention for her severe injuries. Mila has already lost one eye, and it’s still uncertain whether veterinarians can save her remaining eye. She also has a fractured jaw, making her road to recovery even more challenging. Mila has already endured so much, but she deserves a chance to heal. She now needs intensive veterinary care to stabilize her condition, manage her injuries, and give her the best possible chance at recovery. Her treatment will take time, specialized attention, and resources that the rescue desperately needs help covering. Please consider donating toward Mila’s medical care. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help Paws & Claws provide the treatment she needs to survive and begin healing. Mila was abandoned when she needed help most. Let’s show her that she hasn’t been forgotten and that her life matters. Please donate today and help give Mila the second chance she deserves.
