One of Those Rescue Days 💔
Today was crazy from start to finish.
I woke up to a text from one of our foster parents, Sharon, that her foster kitty was having difficulty breathing. After a quick video, I knew she needed the ER vet ASAP. Sharon brought her over, and I jumped in the car for the 50-minute drive to Commerce, where they were able to get her in.
She was started on two antibiotics and testing was sent out. $1,000 later… and we know there’s still more to come. 💔
I then flew back up the highway another 50 minutes to grab supplies for a TNR appointment. Justina and I spent several hours there catching kittens, assessing the situation, and making a game plan to help these babies and the rest of the colony.
I finally made it home to take care of my own animals, only to have several texts waiting about two-day-old kittens who had been found and desperately needed help.
Because I work full-time, I unfortunately can’t keep newborns like these long-term. Thankfully, another rescue had an opening and has agreed to take them tomorrow. ❤️
These tiny babies had already been without care for several hours, so right now we’re just praying they pull through the night.
Rescue days aren’t always happy adoption photos and cute kittens. Sometimes it’s ER vet bills, hours on the road, TNR, newborns, exhaustion, and hoping you can find the next person willing to help.
But we keep showing up. ❤️🐾
If you’d like to help us cover today’s unexpected vet bill and the ongoing costs of caring for these animals, donations are always appreciated:
