Today has been incredibly difficult, and honestly, I'm not even sure how to put everything into words.
What I can say is that Aurora is not our only case. Every day, we work with the public to help dumped and abandoned cats through TNR programs, and we assist pet owners who are struggling to afford spay and neuter services for their animals. Helping animals and supporting our community is why we exist.
Right now, however, we are facing a crisis.
We are in desperate need of help paying off our veterinary bills. We work closely with three veterinary clinics that have always been there for us when animals needed emergency care or urgent treatment. Because of their support, countless animals have received the care they desperately needed.
Our current balances are:
• Rush Veterinary Urgent Care: $3,900
• Rush Veterinary Center: $3,400
• Ringtown Veterinary: $2,000
Together, these outstanding balances total $9,300.
These veterinary clinics have never turned us away. When we have had emergencies, they have told us to bring the animals in and they would do everything possible to help. We cannot thank them enough for their compassion and dedication.
Unfortunately, if we cannot get these balances paid, we will be forced to close intake indefinitely. We will no longer be able to take in animals in need or provide the level of assistance we have always offered to our community.
We are a small rescue, and every penny donated goes directly to the animals in our care. Whether it's veterinary treatment, food, vaccinations, medications, nail trims, or other essential needs, your support makes a difference.
We currently have several dogs and many cats in our care. Some are due for vaccinations, and others require routine veterinary services. In addition, we often cover expenses for cruelty cases while waiting for court proceedings, which can take months or even years to resolve. Those costs add up quickly.
If you would like to help, donations can be made directly to any of our veterinary clinics during business hours. We actually prefer donations be made directly to the vets whenever possible. Updated invoices will be posted as soon as we receive them.
We can also accept donations through PayPal or Venmo. If you would like to donate that way, please contact us for information.
As a registered rescue, all donations are tax-deductible. If you would like a tax receipt, simply send us a message and let us know. We are committed to being transparent in everything we do.
If you have ever considered donating, now is the time. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us continue our mission and keeps our doors open to animals who need us.
If you are unable to donate, please share this post. Sharing helps us reach more people and gives us a better chance of getting these bills paid.
We never want to be the rescue that has to say, “I'm sorry, we can't help.” With your support, we can continue providing care to animals in need and serving our community
