💔 This morning, she woke up in a shelter with her eight surviving newborn babies.
She faced a 3pm euthanasia deadline.
At 1pm, she arrived safely with her foster. By 2.30pm, Mama was at the vets.
Meet Mama Hattie and her eight little Bookworms. 📚🐾
Hattie gave birth to nine babies just three days ago. Sadly, one of her precious little ones has already passed away.
And their mama is very, very poorly.
The photographs speak for themselves. Hattie is painfully thin, her little body is in terrible condition, and we're only beginning to understand just how much is wrong.
She's been vomiting garbage. She's passing blood in her urine. X-rays taken at the shelter showed a blockage, and she's now undergoing further investigations to establish exactly what's happening and whether she needs surgery or another form of treatment.
And as if that wasn't enough, Hattie is heartworm positive. A serious diagnosis in its own right, but right now, it's the least of her worries.
I look at this little girl and wonder what on earth she's been through. She's given birth to nine babies, lost one, and somehow, through all of this, she's still looking after eight tiny little lives who depend entirely on her.
Pawfect Match Rescue & Rehabilitation stepped in to save this family, knowing we could be facing some very significant veterinary bills.
We couldn't leave them behind. But we can't do this without your help.
If you can spare $5, $10, or anything at all towards Hattie's medical care, please consider donating.
We've got her out of the shelter. Now we need to get her well.
Please help us look after Mama Hattie and her eight little Bookworms. ❤️🐾
If you can't donate, please share her story. It really does make a difference.
