Mama Marnie and Her Four Kittens

In a heartwarming display of compassion and community support, a dedicated cat advocate, Allison, rescued a family of sweet cats that were abandoned at a local community cat colony she manages.

Mama Marnie, a beautiful calico, and her four precious kittens found themselves without a home until Allison stepped in to provide them with love, care, and a promising future.

Allison was determined to give them the chance they deserved and we were pleased to donate toward their care. The entire family was provided essential vaccinations, thorough health checks, and tests to ensure they were free from any underlying health issues. They were also dewormed, guaranteeing that they would have a clean bill of health before beginning their search for forever homes.

Mama and her sweet babies, once abandoned and alone, now have a bright future and are searching for rescue placement—all thanks to, Allison, and the kind-hearted community that rallied to support them.

Peace, Love and Poms

When our friends at Peace Love and Paws Rescue met Benji Lee – they couldn’t turn away from his emergent needs. We donated $350 toward sweet Benji Lee’s care and hope he feels better son!

From PFPR, “He filled the entire room with the smell of infection, and he is in severe pain. His case is complicated and needs the expertise of the dentist team, but they are not available until Monday. A soft muzzle will be applied to stabilize his jaw, bloodwork will be run, and massive amounts of pain medication will be administered as well as antibiotics through the weekend. Our hope is to fix this 12 pound boy, and we need your help to do it!“

“We can’t afford it, but we have an emergency intake happening NOW! The Philadelphia Humane Law Enforcement Team just saved this poor boy, and the SPCA reached out because he needs emergency care NOW,” said PLPR, “Our volunteers are currently in route to pick him up and take him directly to the specialty ER. He has a fractured lower jaw and is in severe pain. The shelter administered pain medication and are keeping him calm until our arrival. This boy cannot wait for care, and that means it will be a higher cost using the specialist vet. Please help us get this boy pain relief and the care he needs today!”

Update: “Our emergency intake, Benji Lee, is admitted with our favorite specialty ER. His lower jaw is dislocated with several areas of fractures. He filled the entire room with the smell of infection, and he is in severe pain. His case is complicated and needs the expertise of the dentist team, but they are not available until Monday. A soft muzzle will be applied to stabilize his jaw, bloodwork will be run, and massive amounts of pain medication will be administered as well as antibiotics through the weekend. Our hope is to fix this 12 pound boy, and we need your help to do it! Our estimate currently stands at $7000 but could be more if he needs specialized imaging like a CT scan. The vet feels his dental disease weakened his jaw, and he may have gotten stuck, and the damage was the result of him pulling his face free. This isn’t a fresh injury and is at least a few days old. Either way, he is safe and in the absolute best care to keep him comfortable.”

Baby, the Cat, Gets Critically Needed Surgery

In a world filled with countless challenges and needs, there’s something extraordinary about the way we come together to help those who cannot help themselves. One such heartwarming cause is extending a helping hand to a cat in need.

Cats, like many animals, often find themselves in precarious situations, struggling to survive. Especially outdoor cats. However, when compassionate individuals unite to donate their time, money, and resources, they create a lifeline for these feline friends, turning their stories from despair to hope. And a story worth sharing is of Baby’s journey.

“This is Baby. He is a stray cat that lives in my neighborhood in Philadelphia, PA. He is very affectionate and a sweet boy. For the past year and a half my family and I have been feeding him. Last Friday, he showed up at our door like every morning but this time he was limping and crying. It turns out his right leg was injured. We consulted 2 vets and it was determined he needs surgery for his leg which has several fractures. Baby is in a lot of pain. He needs to get surgery and he needs your help so he can live a normal life again. He is a sweet soul that deserves nothing but the best care and we are committed to make sure he is safe.” says Baby’s caretaker and advocate, Tabita.

When we heard about Baby, we wanted to be part of his journey to healing. Thanks to our community of supporters and dedication to the animals, we were fortunate to donate $800 toward Baby’s surgery, and with support from our friends at LIFE: lifesaving initiative funding efforts, we raised over $1,300 to help Baby.

As of early September, Baby received medical care and surgery. He is on the road to recovery says, Tabita, “We are so thankful for your help. Baby is at the vet now. He is getting surgery. He was a little scared but he was ready. He is such a sweet angel.”

Interested in helping animals? Please consider opening your heart and contributing to other animals just like Baby. Your donation, no matter the size, has the potential to save lives, heal wounds, and inspire change. It’s an investment in a world where animals are treated with the love, respect, and dignity they deserve.

Support for Two Dogs In Critical Need

Our friends at J & Co Dog Rescue stepped up to help two critically in need dogs, Reels and Chicago. We are always overjoyed to help support our community of rescue partners to lend a hand and help animals that need care. We are proud to donate $300 and $400 toward their care! Read below for updates:

From J & Co Dog Rescue “The past few weeks have been SUPER BUSY for our team… We’ve welcomed many new dogs to J & Co… And with that, comes medical bills and supply costs. If you follow our page, you know that most of our dogs require extensive or ongoing vet care – we need funds to keep going. With so many shelter dogs in need, we don’t ever want to turn a dog down because we can’t afford it. We don’t carry balances with vet offices. Supply costs have been on the rise… We supply our fosters with food, monthly flea/tick/hw and it’s time to order again! All the new dogs we took in recently are just getting started with their medical care… And have a way to go! Even our “healthy” dogs require medical prior to adoption – all our dogs are utd on vax, chipped, hw tested and altered prior to adoption. If you can drop us a few bucks, we’d really appreciate it!”

“A BIG Welcome to Chicago! Chicago has burns all over his body and is emaciated… And he’s ready to leave that old life behind!! Thank you to all involved with getting him to safety He will be in the best of hands with his fosters! There will obviously be a lot of medical expenses for Chicago – if you’d like to donate!

Chicago is a 3-year-old male that came in as a stray in early July. Chicago is the sweetest boy! Upon intake, he was very skinny, covered in burns, and emaciated. Despite this, Chicago is a truly remarkable dog. He shows incredible resilience and strength despite his pain.

His injuries don’t stop his love either. Although he can be quite snappy when taking treats, he has been very sweet to our staff! With enough love and care, he will blossom into a loving and devoted dog.” Video update here.

“6/30 REELS is out of the shelter and on his way to vet! He just arrived at ACCT, unable to walk… We weren’t prepared to pull another, but couldn’t say no…. He’ll be in the best of hands with Natalie, but we have to figure out what’s going on with him! DONATIONS needed…. It’s also $5 Friday and those 5’s add up!! We need your help, friends… REELS needs us!

7/16 Reels is eating well & putting on some much needed weight. Although still weak in the hind end – he is walking better! Super sweet boy, receiving all the love & care he could possibly want, by his foster mom Natalie.

Your donations at work! We are so grateful to all who donate and share our posts… Lives like Reels are saved because of you!”
