Does anyone remember Shelly?

Shelly was a kitty we adopted out almost 3 years ago.

She was dumped off at my home violently (before I got smart and set boundaries so the storefront happened, thanks again to my incredible landlords) and had damage to where she needed both eyes removed resulted in her being blind.

We removed her eyes as they were useless and could cause irritation.

Adopting a blind cat is something I do my best to educate, establish a small space so they know where the little box is, establish routine, etc.

When her previous adopter reached out for help, stating she had tried everything, I offered phone call assistance, that was denied, and so we tried out best to coach her through urinating out of the litter box options. Apparently she had been stressed and doing this for a year. I would have loved to help address this a year ago. I personally have a cat that is sensitive and has urination issues, and I have quite a bit of knowledge.

Cats can be sensitive, change in routine can be hard for some. I am not convinced the options/suggestions I gave were tried. I asked for vet records from the previous 3 years multiple times and they were never given.

And please, do not ever diaper a cat. This can cause even more stress, and if you surrender a cat back to me, please always have them in a carrier. Especially if they are blind. They can be stressed from traveling, etc.

We have had Shelly back since Tuesday, sweet as can be, no urinating issues, we will continue to monitor her as we move her into large spaces.

Shelly had a clear check up on day of surrender. Please donate if you can to cover Shelly's medical cost.

Anytime I adopt out an animal and they are brought back, I feel like I failed them.

All in all, I am happy to have her back, and happy she was brought back vs. a negative alternative.

🌟💲685 LEFT TO FUNDRAISE💲🌟

*Yesterday's Post*

$5,500 total!

We have $2,304 left to fundraise!

I am attaching the original post from yesterday for all the reasons why we need your help so we can continue our mission!

*OG POST*

This isn’t our typical fundraising post, but we’ve come to the conclusion that our rescue is in need of something pretty important: a reliable vehicle dedicated to transporting animals.

Sid does nearly all of our transporting—to vet appointments, spay/neuter surgeries, emergency visits, foster homes, adoption events, supply pickups, and everything in between. Until now, she has always used her personal vehicle.

And those miles add up fast.

Between the mileage, gas, maintenance, and everyday wear and tear, rescue transportation takes a serious toll on a personal vehicle. But the bigger issue is that her current car simply isn’t designed for what we ask it to do.

People are always asking, “How do you fit all those animals in your car?”

The answer? Sometimes, barely. 😅

Her car isn’t large enough to safely fit a dog kennel—and that has become a must. Animals should be properly secured during transport, especially when Lil is often riding along with her. A frightened, injured, newly rescued, or unfamiliar dog loose inside a vehicle isn’t safe for the animal, the driver, or a child passenger.

When you’re running a rescue, transportation isn’t really optional. If we can’t safely get an animal where they need to go, we can’t help them.

And we have an opportunity to make that happen.

Here’s the hard part: we need to raise $2,500 by Saturday to make it possible. A trusted/reliable friend/mechanic found a reliable used vehicle for us and did the up-front work to ensure it's road ready and safe!

It’s a big ask in a very short amount of time, and we know that.

🚙🐾 GOAL: $2,500 BY SATURDAY 🐾🚙

We’ve done some pretty incredible things for animals with the help of this community. Can we do this one, too?

Donate if you can. Share if you can’t. Tag someone who might want to help us put a rescue vehicle on the road.

$0 / $2,500 — raised so far❤️
