Sometimes, being a mom isn't about who gave birth to you. It's about who steps up when you need them most. 🧡🖤
When the emergency clinic called us about 12-year-old Belle, she had already given birth to one tiny orange kitten and had been surrendered to their care for medical reasons. She was still in labour, and the clinic suspected that another kitten was stuck inside.
We accepted Belle into our care and quickly approved the emergency spay surgery she needed. During the procedure, the veterinary team confirmed that there was indeed another kitten still inside and successfully delivered the little one via C-section.
But the emergency surgery created another challenge. Belle needed pain medication to safely recover, meaning she could no longer nurse her newborn babies.
That's where Weasel came in.
Her own kitten was just old enough to be weaned, but when we introduced Belle's babies, Mink and Otter, she miraculously accepted them as her own. She immediately began nursing and caring for them, becoming fiercely protective of her two new adoptive children.
Sometimes, all it takes is one very special mom to change everything.
This month, your support through our monthly raffle helps us provide emergency veterinary care, food, medication, and the round-the-clock care animals like Belle, Mink, Otter, and Weasel need when they have nowhere else to turn.
Every ticket helps give animals a second chance: rafflebox.ca/raffle/bideawhile
