We are going to be very vulnerable right now.

We are grateful it's been a long time since we've had to be this vulnerable to our supporters, but if we aren't, the animals will suffer.

So far in 2026 we have spent OVER $750,000 on JUST vetting expenses. That is for one expense of many. And while we are so proud of the work we have done this year - over 1,500 animals adopted already! - we are really struggling.

Our vetting funds are almost gone. And were not just saying that to be dramatic. It's very real and true. We've had so many large surgeries or hospital stays that has exceeded what we anticipated and donations have been lower than usual. Of course we stand behind all the animals in rescue right now, but the worry is for the future.

What does the future hold for the animals that we have yet to help is what were worried about. If we don't have the funds, we cannot help them. That is why were coming to you with this as much as we didn't want to.

Meet Gimpy!
He was rescued as a stray in a different state and came to me for help. It’s a true miracle he is even alive. Cats are amazing and can be very tough when they need to be.
Here is a list of all his injuries I found with him:
🐱fractured right front leg that had healed inappropriately causing disuse of the leg
🐱fractured rib
🐱fractured malunion femur (rear leg fracture)
🐱many fractured and diseased teeth
🐱abdominal body wall hernia

All of these injuries are commonly seen when an animal gets hit by a car. It’s amazing he was able to live on his own with these injuries. He’s a true miracle!

I sponsored his amputation surgery. He will need for return to address his teeth in the near future.

Please consider donating to his cause! Or even better…consider adopting him!

A missing tooth may not really be missing at all. On examination, this dog had a “missing” lower premolar, but upon further evaluation with dental X-rays, it was impacted. Impacted teeth are painful and lead to many complications including the risk for jaw fracture.
When your pet undergoes a dental procedure, make sure your veterinary team is using dental X-rays and is experienced in addressing pathology like this.

All lumps should be tested and monitored closely with biannual visits.

And then they get upset if you charge them…

I'll climb up the Empire State Building to scream it! Just be nicer to your veterinary team. They save your pet and by doing that, they save you as well. :)

There should be a surcharge for any veterinary professional who has to wait for someone to get off their cell phone.
