Please keep sharing and donating! We are nowhere near covering the cost of these two sweet babies bills. The rescue is done for if we can’t cover this cost. These will be the last two babies we ever help and if they have more issues, we can’t afford it. PLEASE help us.

🆘EMERGENCY FUNDS NEEDED- THE RESCUE IS ON THE VERGE OF CLOSING DOWN FROM LACK OF FUNDS 🆘

We recently rescued Biggie Smalls and Charlie from the trailer park in horrible condition while we were doing TNR there. Biggie smalls needed eye surgery, neuter surgery, and 11 teeth extracted and Charlie had a ruptured abscess on her canine tooth causing severe breathing issues. After surgery, Charlie continued to have some breathing issues, so she went to our vet today to get chest x-rays.

Biggie has also continued to lose weight and tear up his skin after surgery, so he needed a full array of tests today to get to the bottom it. Full bloodwork, thyroid check, ear swabs, more antibiotics. His eye is swollen despite plenty of time passing since his eye surgery so he is getting some steroid + antibiotic eye ointment along with some other meds to help with his ears, skin, eyes, dehydration, and weight loss. He is a hot mess.

Between the unpaid bills we already had from their emergency surgeries along with today, we still need to fundraise 1700 dollars to pay off everything. This is a massive unexpected expense and we did not expect bills to get so high. If we cannot fundraise this amount, the rescue will be forced to close its doors permanently. If you can donate anything to help get this bill down, any amount helps.

🐾 Hi, my name is Patrick!

I am about 2 years old. I am all grey, and my foster mom tells me I am very handsome—she says my sleek fur makes me look like a little silver shadow!
I like to follow the people in my home around and watch what they are doing because I’m very curious (I like to think of myself as a professional supervisor). I also love attention, love to be held, and have lots of energy for play time—feather wands and laser pointers are my specialty! When I’m not exploring or helping you with chores, you can find me stretched out on the couch for a long nap or looking out the window dreaming of my next adventure.
I would be fine as an only cat because I love people so much, but I’d also be happy having cat siblings to keep me company. I can be a little bossy at times with my foster siblings—I just want to run and play all the time with them, and sometimes they want to nap instead! I am learning to respect their space, though, and I’m looking for a family who appreciates a boy with a big personality.
I’ve traveled a long way to find my people, and I can’t wait to finally meet my forever family! Will it be you?

Think we're a match? Send a message to the rescue to come meet me!

You can apply to adopt me and many other pets with United Paws on our website!

Please keep sharing! We still need 1200 to cover their surgeries and re open for intake. We have many kitties waiting outside for help just like these two.

Happy Tail: Ivy’s New Beginning! 🐾

Hi everyone! It’s me, Ivy, checking in with some purr-fect news!
Do you remember where I started? It feels like a lifetime ago, but I was just a tiny thing—barely weighing one pound—lost and shivering in the middle of a busy street in Orlando. The world was so big and loud, and I was so small. But then, a kind friend of the rescue scooped me up and brought me to the wonderful family at United Paws. They saw a fighter in me, even when I was just a handful of fluff.
I spent some time growing big and strong, always wondering when my 'forever person' would arrive.
Well, look at me now! I finally found my Happily Ever After. My new parents are the absolute best—they even bought me this giant yellow flower scratcher just so I can feel like the garden princess I was always meant to be! 🌸
I went from dodging traffic to being the queen of my very own castle. Now, my only 'jobs' are taking long naps on my skull blanket and making sure my new family gets plenty of head-boops and purrs. I’m officially off the market and living my best life!
Thank you to everyone who supported my journey and helped United Paws save me. I’m home!

Love and whiskers,
Ivy 🖤🤍

A collective meow and woof,
To all the beautiful humans we call Pet Moms,

This day is totally for you! 💖 We know you don't hear it in a language you can speak, so we wanted to try a new trick—typing! (Sorry if there are paw-prints on the keyboard 🐈⌨️).

We want to say a giant, tail-wagging, purr-filled THANK YOU! Thank you for opening your door and your heart when our future was so uncertain.

Thank you for:
Finding the perfect sunny spot on the windowsill.
Providing the softest, most cuddly blankets ever.
Understanding when we need a little quiet time and just sitting quietly nearby.
Being our playmates and our protectors.
Most importantly, thank you for loving us with your whole heart, just the way we are. You didn’t just change our worlds; you are our worlds. 🌍❤️

To the United Paws Rescue Inc. team, thank you for making it possible for us to find these amazing moms.

To all the Adopted Pet Moms, whether you have paws or whiskers or feathers in your family, you are incredible.

Happy Mother’s Day! We love you!

🆘DONATIONS NEEDED!!🆘

Charlie and Biggie Smalls got their emergency surgeries yesterday, and the total was a bit more than we expected. The total between our primary vet and Harmony for the surgeries was 🛑1650🛑 dollars.

Charlie was microchipped and had a major extraction of the ruptured canine. Turns out *he* is a SHE. She is already breathing normally again.

Biggie smalls not only had his entropion corrected on his bad eye, but he was neutered, vaccinated, combo tested and microchipped. On top of that they found 11 rotting teeth that needed to be removed- MUCH MORE THAN WE EXPECTED.

We have been lucky so far to have fundraised 395 dollars toward their surgeries, but we still need 1250 dollars to cover their expenses. Both kiddos are recovering from surgery well but we DESPERATELY need your help to pay off their bills. The rescue is in crisis with this big unexpected expense. Below are some of their bills from their surgeries. You can donate below or at our PayPal [email protected]

EMERGENCY DONATIONS NEEDED!!!

While doing TNR, these two little fellas came up to us begging for help. We couldn’t leave them behind as not only did they both end up being super friendly, but both have severe medical issues. Biggy smalls has entropion and an eye ulcer, is unneutered, and has bad dental disease with multiple teeth needing to be extracted. Entropion is where his eyelids push inward and his eyelashes and hair are scratching his eyeball- he needs surgery to correct this. This is extremely painful and will eventually cause him to lose the eye.

Charlie was originally going to Be TNR’ed, but he started breathing VERY strangely in the trap. We pulled him out and discovered he has a severe ruptured tooth root abscess that is causing his breathing issues and for his face to be deviated.

Both these boys are getting rushed in for emergency surgery tomorrow with one of our amazing vets and even though it will be as affordable as these surgeries can get, it will still add up to a pretty penny. We estimate between their visits at our primary vet today and their multiple surgeries and tooth extractions we are looking at around 1500. We don’t have much time to fundraise, but these boys need your help!!! If you can donate below, or at our PayPal [email protected] please do. Any bit helps these guys get out of excruciating pain!!

🐾 Happy Tailz Alert: I’m Staying Fur-ever! 🐾

From the desk (and favorite nap spot) of Lucky (formerly Laney):

Meow everyone! I have some purr-tastic news to share. You might remember me as the terrified kitty waiting at Orange County Animal Services. To be honest, I was so scared back then. Being left behind in an empty apartment when my old humans moved out left my heart feeling a little hollow, and that big, loud shelter was a lot for a guy like me.
But then, United Paws stepped in, and my whole world shifted!
I went to a foster home to learn how to be a brave boy again... and well, I did such a good job that my foster family decided they couldn't imagine life without me! I’ve officially been promoted from "Laney" to Lucky, the newest member of the Foster Failure club!

My New Life Highlights:
* The Name: They call me Lucky, and I sure feel like it.
* The Crew: I have a human sister who gives the best chin scratches and several "Kit Kat" siblings to wrestle and nap with.
* The Vibe: No more empty apartments or scary cages for me. At 1 ½ years old, I finally have the forever lap I’ve been dreaming of.

I may have started out abandoned and afraid, but I'm waking up every day now knowing I'm exactly where I belong.

Thank you to everyone who United Paws! Because you helped rescue me from Central Florida, I get to spend the rest of my days being the luckiest boy in the world.

Happy Tails to me! 🏠💖🐾

Hey everyone! We’re checking in from our cozy couches and favorite sunspots to wag our tails and purr a huge THANK YOU to the team at United Paws Rescue Inc. for helping us find our forever families! 🏠❤️

Life on the 'outside' is amazing, but we haven't forgotten our friends still waiting back at the rescue. We know the perfect humans are out there for them, too!

How you can help:

Adopt: If you have room in your heart and home, come meet the crew!
