When Caira was a kitten, her biological mom abandoned her, leaving the young tuxedo cat to fend for herself. The fluffy feline ended up getting accidentally trapped in a racoon cage, and when Emily learned about Caira, she knew she had to adopt her. Shortly after bringing Caira home, Emily and the affectionate kitten formed a special bond that has only grown stronger over the past three years. "She follows me everywhere," says Emily. "Each time I go to a different room in the house, there she is, right behind me." In addition to spending time with her mom, Caira loves to play, but recently, she jumped down from her cat tower, seriously injuring her toe. When Emily realized Caira was limping, she immediately rushed her to Animal Medical Clinic in Fullerton, California, for a thorough examination. Unfortunately, x-rays revealed Caira broke her toe, and the injury is so severe, it will need to be amputated.

Without surgery, this sweet and friendly feline will be in chronic pain, so Emily is desperate to get Caira the treatment she needs. However, she's struggling financially, so she's asking for your help. "She’s my best friend," says Emily."She keeps me company and warm, and her little meows are the best thing ever. I don’t know what I’d do without her."

When Alix met Riley, the sweet and friendly Pit Bull/Boxer mix was living on the streets and starving, so she adopted him, giving him a wonderful forever home. While little is know about this adorable dog's life before Alix came along, Riley's mom believes he may have been used as bait in dog fighting but was abandoned due to his loving and easy-going personality. After all, not only is Riley Alix's companion and service dog, this handsome boy adores Mandela, his feline best friend, as well as children.

Sadly, in March 2019, this 11-year-old pup was diagnosed with lymphoma, and while Riley's first chemotherapy protocol failed, the backup protocol was a success. Thankfully, this senior dog is now in remission, but in order to prevent the cancer from coming back, Riley's doctors at @ncstatevetmed want him to have a bone marrow transplant.

While Alix desperately wants Riley to get this live-saving treatment, she's having trouble finding the funds to pay for the costly procedure, so she's asking for your help. "He's been there for me when no one else has been," says Alix. "Now that he's sick, I want to do the same for him. I will give him the best life I can for as long as I possibly can. I owe him nothing less."

When Angela found a tiny, frightened kitten in the stall of horse barn, she knew she had to help the frail little cat. Angela brought the kitten inside her home, naming her Minnie, and she immediately noticed she had an injured eye, so she took the black and white feline to her local veterinarian.

Minnie was given medication and ointment to treat her eye, but just a few days later, she started having difficulty breathing. Angela immediately rushed the fragile kitten to Carolina Veterinary Specialists where Minnie was given medication, but the following morning, Minnie's health had deteriorated further. The doctors feared she had pneumonia, so they gave Minnie oxygen and IV fluids and kept her overnight in intensive care.

Sadly, despite everyone's best efforts, Minnie passed away, leaving Angela devastated and with over $1,000 in vet bills. "I could not have lived with myself if I would not have taken her to the veterinarian to at least try to save her," says Angela. "I couldn't just let her die alone." Unfortunately, Angela is having difficulty paying for Minnie's medical bills, so she's asking for your help. While Minnie's life was tragically cut short, thanks to Angela's kindness, this special girl was very loved. "She was a sweet little kitty," says Angela. "She loved being held and rubbed, and she found solace with a little stuffed ape I found and gave her to sleep with."
