💔💔 WE REALLY, REALLY NEED YOUR HELP 💔💔

Sometimes rescue throws everything at you at once, and this week has been one of those weeks. We have had several major medical cases needing urgent veterinary treatment, and the costs are quickly adding up.

We never want finances to be the reason an animal has to suffer. When they need us, we do everything we can to help. But right now, we desperately need your support. 💔

🐾 Maisy, four years old and already endured so much

Some of you may remember Maisy, who had an emergency C-section just a few months ago. At only four years old, she has already had four litters of puppies.

Just as things were looking up, a dental clean revealed large bladder stones. She had been urinating blood and passing small stones herself.

We couldn’t wait to fundraise first. Maisy needed urgent surgery on Monday, and we had to help her. Just look at the size and roughness of the stones that were sitting in her poor little bladder. 💔 She deserves a chance at a safe, happy life.

🐾 Wombat is just 16 weeks old

Wombat is a sweet little kitten who has been living with a broken leg for an unknown number of days, receiving little to no treatment.

When our partnering vet asked for help, how could we say no? He is just a baby who should be playing and exploring, not suffering in pain.

We urgently need to raise funds for his amputation this weekend to end his suffering and give him the chance of a happy, pain-free future. 💔

🐾 Sage is only one year old

Sage is a Border Collie who was being given away for having too much energy.

She arrived in care with holes all over her neck from an electric collar that had been too tight. Although the wounds have healed, she will carry the scars for life.

Just as we were preparing to put her up for adoption, Sage started limping on both front legs. Some of her toe bones have fragmented due to sesamoiditis and there are concerns about further injuries. She will be travelling four hours to see a specialist next week for further scans.

This young girl deserves a chance to run, play and enjoy life without pain after she’s already suffered so much❤️‍🩹

THREE ANIMALS. THREE MAJOR MEDICAL CASES. ONE VERY STRETCHED RESCUE.

And sadly, this doesn’t even include the new cats and puppies we’ve taken into care this week from pounds where they were facing euthanasia. They needed us, and we couldn’t turn our backs on them.

Between emergency surgeries, specialist appointments, medication and everyday care for all our animals, the costs are overwhelming.

If you can spare even $5, $10 or $20, every single donation makes a difference. If you can’t donate, please share this post. Every share helps us reach someone who might be able to.

We know times are tough, and we never take your support for granted. But right now, we desperately need our community behind us.

We said YES to Maisy, Wombat and Sage because they needed someone in their corner. Please help us keep saying YES to the animals who need us most. 💔🐾

Honey 🍯

I may be very shy at first, but give me a bit of time for me to gain your trust and I'll soon be headbutting your hand and politely requesting chin scratches. Also I am fond of firm back scratches and have been told I have a strong purr engine.

For most of my life I have been a solo cat and I prefer the company of humans to other felines. I am very good at entertaining myself by sleeping all day then requesting food and attention at night. I would be best suited as a single cat household but I am totally fine to be left at home alone if you work away during the day.

Apart from sleep, food is my next favourite thing and when I get excited my tail does a little excited quiver. If you lose track of dinner time I will meow to remind you.🍖

Loud noises are a bit scary or too many new people, so I would prefer a quieter house. And I am not too fond of change so please be patient with me as I adapt.

Reach out if you want to meet sweet Honey, or even a first virtual meeting to gain a sense of her personality. 🐝

Meet Macadamia, affectionately known as Mac 🐾

Mac is a gorgeous Maremma x Stumpy-Tail Cattle Dog mix, and as you can probably imagine from that combination, he’s a wonderful dog with a big personality and a few quirks of his own!

Mac is neutral when meeting new people out & about, but if you are apart of his family, he absolutely loves you. ❤️ He gets along wonderfully with children and loves being included in family life.

Mac is BALL OBSESSED! If there’s a ball involved, you’ve definitely found the way to his heart. He enjoys doing things on his own terms, and while his recall isn’t his strongest skill, throw a ball and suddenly he’s very interested in what you have to say! 😂

For this reason, we recommend Mac isn’t let off leash in unfenced public spaces, as he may decide to head off on his own little adventure. His leash skills are generally good, and he isn’t reactive to other dogs while on lead.

Mac enjoys spending time with his doggy friends, but he is also perfectly happy as an only dog, provided he is included as part of the family. He doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety and is happy to be home alone, but when you’re home, he would much rather be involved in whatever you’re doing including plenty of relaxing together. He is completely toilet trained & past the chewing puppy stage as well

Mac has previously lived with chickens. However, since returning to foster care, he has shown that he is not suitable to live with cats or pocket pets, as he enjoys chasing them.

Mac is a lovely, quirky boy who will thrive with a family who understands his personality, appreciates his independent streak and is happy to include him in their everyday life. ❤️

Mac’s ideal home:
🐾 A family who will include him as part of the family
🐾 Children are welcome
🐾 Happy as an only dog or with a suitable canine companion
🐾 Securely fenced property
🐾 Someone who understands that off-leash adventures aren’t for Mac
🐾 No cats or pocket pets
And, most importantly… someone prepared to throw A LOT of balls!

Come see Maggie anytime during opening hours at Petstock Currumbin 😻🩷

If you're looking for a calm, loving companion who will happily spend her days relaxing by your side, Maggie might just be your perfect match.

This beautiful girl has the sweetest nature. Her absolute favourite thing in the world is receiving head scratches, and she'll gently head bunt your hand whenever she thinks it's time for more (which, according to Maggie, is often!). She's an incredibly affectionate cat with a loud happy purr - and if she's especially content, she even drools a little from pure happiness.

Maggie is mostly a relaxed, easy-going girl who enjoys a peaceful lifestyle, although she still has the occasional burst of playful energy that reminds you she's young at heart. Whether she's chasing a toy for a few minutes or curling up nearby for a nap, she's simply happiest being close to her people.🥰

Maggie would thrive in a quiet home where she can enjoy all the love and attention she deserves. She'd be perfectly happy as the only cat, soaking up every head scratch for herself. However, she has successfully lived with other cats before and is able to coexist well with a respectful feline companion—she simply isn't interested in being best friends or engaging in lots of play together.

Because she enjoys a calm environment, Maggie would be best suited to a home without very young children, or with older, cat-savvy children who understand and respect feline boundaries.

💔 Maggie still desperately needs our help. 💔

Maggie showed some improvement overnight, but heartbreakingly, she suffered another seizure this morning. Thankfully, she was able to stabilise again this afternoon.

Tomorrow, she will undergo further blood testing, and a CT scan may also be needed. There are concerns about several serious underlying conditions, and we still have a long road ahead to find answers and work out the best way to help her.

Maggie is still just a baby at only five months old. Despite everything her little body is going through, she remains so incredibly sweet. She has already been through so much, and it’s heartbreaking to think of how frightening and confusing this must all be for her.

She deserves the chance to grow up, to play, to be loved and to experience all the wonderful things life should have in store for a puppy. ❤️

We are doing everything we can for Maggie, but she still needs your help. Donations towards her ongoing investigations, treatment and hospital care would mean so much and help us give this precious girl the best possible chance.

Please help us give Maggie the second chance she deserves. Every donation, share and kind message makes a difference. 🐾❤️

Thank you for standing beside Maggie as we continue to fight for her.
