is next week! All donations for Giving Tuesday and through the end of the year will be DOUBLED thanks to generous supporters who have pledged a $150,000 match, totaling in $300,000 to save pets.
One of the pets that you helped us save this year is Herman. Anyone could tell Herman needed urgent medical attention the moment Stray Cat TNR found him during their trapping work in Campbell County. Underweight, dehydrated, and struggling with a severe upper respiratory infection and painful skin issues, they reached out immediately, and we said yes without hesitation. As soon as Herman arrived, our Medical Team began fluids, medications, bloodwork, and a medicated bath to start easing his discomfort.
As we learned more about him, we discovered just how delicate Herman truly was. His untreated infections had taken a heavy toll, and his FIV made healing even more difficult. His URI lingered for weeks, slowing weight gain and making every step toward recovery a challenge. But Herman never stopped fighting. Thanks to your support, his skin began to heal, his fur grew back, and he gained four pounds.
One major hurdle remained: entropion, a painful condition causing his eyelids to turn inward. Herman wasn’t strong enough for surgery at first, but after weeks of steady progress, he finally reached that milestone. Our vet team performed Herman’s surgery, and the URI we feared might be chronic has now cleared.
Today, Herman is safe, comfortable, and receiving all the love he deserves, soft beds, treats, toys, and gentle care from his medical foster. His journey has been long, but his future is brighter than ever. We are so excited for him to continue feeling better and be available for adoption soon.
Herman is here because compassionate people refused to give up on him, Stray Cat TNR, our medical team, and our community, who all supported him when he needed it most.
