If you have a moment, please send Mary all the well wishes and positive vibes. 🙏🏼

She is currently under anesthesia, and the vet discovered a sizable mass obstructing her airway. The mass is being surgically removed as much as as possible. We are hoping for the best outcome, but it is unclear how this will affect Mary moving forward.

I love you so much, Beebee—may everything go as well as it can. - Kendra

Hello Fur Friends! We really need your help!

As many of you know, 5-month-old rescue Mary has been battling illness for about 3 months. We've supplied a variety of medications with no real effect. Last week we were able to send out a blood sample as the vet was concerned about the possibility of FIP. Thankfully, the results only indicated continued inflammation. This Thursday, Mary will receive a full nasal flush to clear her nasal passages as well as a thorough examination to check for polyps, as her symptoms have included persistent congestion, ocular and nasal discharge, and difficulty breathing. Mary's medical bills come to $1,082.89.

This morning rescue Charlie was then rushed to our vet after observing signs of urinary blockage. For those unfamiliar, a urinary blockage for a male cat is a serious medical emergency. Left untreated, a blocked male cat can die. Charlie is currently having his bladder expressed with the hopes they can also dislodge most of the sediment that has settled in his bladder. Unfortunately, Charlie may need to go to a 24/7 vet hospital for continued care lasting up to 48 hours to ensure the blockage is cleared. This is estimated to cost us around $2,500. Charlie is also scheduled to get additional dental work done in January to address three broken canines, which will cost several thousand dollars. Left untreated Charlie is susceptible to infections and the development of abscesses, which are not only painful but could affect his overall health and quality of life.

We believe every animal that comes to us deserves the highest quality care, and that includes extensive medical care when necessary. Unfortunately, our monetary resources are extremely limited as we rely on donations and peoples' use of our pet care services to provide everything our rescues need.

If you are able to help, please consider making a donation--no matter how small--so we can provide all of the care our rescues Mary and Charlie need to be healthy.

Poor Mary just can’t catch a break. 😔 Despite receiving different medications, including antibiotics, Mary has continued to exhibit symptoms of upper respiratory infection, and she has effectively been sick for the last 3 months.

Blood was drawn today at the vet, which will be sent to a lab for testing. The results will help build a bigger picture as to Mary’s health.

This Thursday we will be returning to the vet for Mary to undergo a more thorough examination under anesthesia to rule out any physical ailments such as polyps. Fingers crossed we get some answers so we can start on a treatment plan.

We are only able to provide medical treatment to our rescues thanks to the generosity of our donors. The reality is that veterinary care is expensive, and even more so for animals with chronic illness. Today’s visit and medication alone cost us around $500.

To provide the additional diagnostics, procedures, and treatment, we could really use your help. If you are able to and would like to donate towards Mary’s growing medical bill, you can do so by visiting our website:

Or by writing a check made out to “Fur the Love of Animals” and mailing it to:

Thank you so much for any and all support! 🙏🏼

Asher was brought to us last Thursday after going into a trap set for a different adult. He’s around 8 weeks old and in decent condition upon visual examination. Asher was born beneath someone’s house along with two siblings, which we are aiming to trap this week.

This is a gentle reminder to spay and neuter your pets! Let’s help reduce the number of kittens born homeless in our community. 🤍

Please consider donating to support our rescue work and care for homeless cats. Every bit helps so much, and every penny goes to the animals.
