👀 Watery eyes, swelling, or discharge in your dog or cat can be more than just irritation. These are often early signs of an eye infection—and eye problems can worsen quickly without treatment.

What you can do right away:
• Gently wipe discharge with a clean, damp cloth
• Keep your pet from rubbing or pawing at their eyes
• Check for redness, swelling, or squinting

If symptoms last more than a day, get worse, or your pet seems uncomfortable, it’s time to call a veterinarian. Eye infections can lead to pain, vision loss, or long-term damage if left untreated.

💙 Fur Kids Foundation helps families in Campbell County, Wyoming afford emergency veterinary care so pets can get help before small problems become big ones.

A cut paw can happen fast — sharp rocks, broken glass, ice, or rough terrain can all cause injuries. If your dog comes inside limping or licking their paw, here’s what to do right away:
• Gently rinse the paw with clean water
• Check for debris like glass or thorns
• Apply light pressure if there’s bleeding
• Keep the paw clean and covered if possible

Even small cuts can hide deeper damage or become infected quickly. Dogs put constant pressure on their paws, which makes healing harder without proper care. If bleeding won’t stop, the cut is deep, or your pet is limping, it’s time to call a veterinarian.

💙 Fur Kids Foundation helps families in Campbell County, Wyoming afford emergency veterinary care, so cost doesn’t delay treatment when pets need help most.

Sweet Pandy wasn’t feeling her best when her eyes became swollen, watery, and goopy. 😿 She needed a vet visit and medication to help her heal. But with her owner living on a single income, even the cost of treatment was a struggle.

Thanks to your support, Fur Kids Foundation covered a portion of Pandy’s bill—to make sure she got the care she needed. Today, her eyes are clearing up, and she’s back to soaking up all the love and snuggles from her family. 💙

✨ Pet Tip: If your cat’s eyes are watery, swollen, or producing discharge, schedule a vet visit. Eye infections can worsen quickly without treatment.

🐾 Cats Don’t Always Tell Us They’re Sick—But Their Breathing Can

Respiratory illness in cats doesn’t always look dramatic at first. Subtle signs like watery eyes, congestion, mouth breathing, or a change in appetite can be early red flags. Left untreated, these issues can become serious—especially for kittens, seniors, or cats with weakened immune systems.

If your cat is struggling to breathe or seems uncomfortable, it’s time to seek veterinary care.

🐱 Fur Kids Foundation exists to help Campbell County, Wyoming pet families cover emergency vet costs when the unexpected happens. Because every cat deserves help when they need it most.

A cut on your dog or cat’s paw may look small, but paws are sensitive and constantly exposed to dirt and bacteria. Without veterinary care, injuries can lead to infection, abscesses, torn pads, or long-term pain that keeps pets from walking comfortably.

Signs it’s time to see a vet include:
• Limping or refusing to put weight on the paw
• Swelling, redness, or discharge
• Excessive licking or chewing
• Bleeding that won’t stop

Prompt veterinary care helps prevent complications and speeds up healing — especially for active pets.

🐾 Fur Kids Foundation supports Campbell County families by helping cover emergency vet costs when unexpected injuries happen. No pet should suffer because help feels out of reach.

Lovely Luna gave her family quite a scare when she cut her paw open. 💔 The wound wouldn’t stop bleeding, and she refused to put weight on it—meaning a trip to the vet was a must. But for her family, in the middle of a job change and living on a single income, the bill was overwhelming.

Thanks to your generosity, Fur Kids Foundation helped Luna’s pawrents get the medication and care needed to heal. 🐶💙 Today, she’s on the mend and one step closer to running and playing again.

✨ Pet Tip: If your pup has a cut that won’t stop bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth and head to the vet right away—paws can bleed heavily and may need stitches or special care.

Because of YOU, Luna is healing and her family has peace of mind. We’re paw-sitively grateful for your support in keeping pets and families together!

🎄 Merry Christmas from Fur Kids Foundation 🎄

As you look at the faces in this photo, you’re seeing lives changed because of you. Each pet pictured here received emergency veterinary care thanks to the compassion and generosity of our Fur Kids Foundation community.

Most of the families who reach out to us are doing everything they can to stay afloat on a single or very limited income. Many are between jobs, working fewer hours, or relying on seasonal or unpredictable work. Others are facing health challenges, medical bills, living on SSI or disability, navigating divorce, caring for loved ones, or coping with rising housing costs that leave little room for emergencies.

Every story is different, but the struggle is often the same—unexpected hardship and financial uncertainty that make emergency veterinary care feel out of reach. Because of you, those families don’t have to face those moments alone, and their pets get the care they need when it matters most.

From all of us at Fur Kids Foundation, thank you for being part of a community that shows up with kindness and heart. Wishing you a Merry Christmas filled with warmth, hope, and plenty of wagging tails and gentle purrs. 🐾❤️

This Christmas, our biggest wish isn’t wrapped in paper—it’s wrapped in kindness: help us spread the word about what Fur Kids Foundation does.

All year long, Fur Kids Foundation works paw-in-paw with pet families during life’s ruff moments, helping them care for the animals they love so dearly. But one of our biggest hurdles isn’t lack of compassion—it’s awareness. Many families simply don’t know help exists until they’re already in a tail-spin.

When you share our mission, bark it from the rooftops (or meow it to your friends). You can help us spread the paw-liday cheer by:
📲 Sharing Fur Kids Foundation on social media
🐾 Telling fellow pet lovers about our mission
💙 Helping more families learn that support is out there

Thank you for being part of our compassionate community and for helping Fur Kids Foundation reach those who need us most. We wish you a joyful Christmas filled with love, peace, and plenty of happy paws.

🐱🚨 Respiratory Illness in Cats: What to Watch For

Cats are masters at hiding when they don’t feel well—but respiratory illness can sneak up fast. If your cat is showing any of these signs, it may be more than “just a cold”:
• Sneezing or coughing
• Runny nose or eyes
• Noisy or labored breathing
• Not eating or drinking
• Weary or hiding more than usual

If something feels off, trust your instincts and call your vet. Early care can make a big difference.

💙 Fur Kids Foundation helps families in Campbell County, Wyoming afford emergency veterinary care when the unexpected happens. If a sudden vet bill is standing between your cat and care, we’re here to help.

Meet Eclipse, a sweet kitty who came down with a tough upper respiratory infection. 😿 She needed medication and a vet visit to help her breathe easier and get back on her paws. But her loving owner, living on a single income with wages being garnished, simply couldn’t afford the entire bill.

Thanks to your support, Fur Kids Foundation stepped in to cover part of the cost—ensuring Eclipse got the care she needed. Today, she’s healing, purring, and reminding us all just how strong our community is when we come together for pets in need.

✨ Pet Tip: Keep your cat’s environment stress-free and clean. Regular vet visits help catch respiratory infections early, especially in multi-cat households.

Because of YOU, Eclipse has a brighter, healthier future. Thank you for helping us keep pets and their families together—it’s truly the cat’s meow! 🐱
