Meet Fred & Barney

Fred & Barney are approaching their 4th week birthday. These adorable little munchkins were born to a mother who is only 9 months old. Although we love these little fellas immensely we wish their mama had been spayed to avoid her the difficult labor and the loss of two of her kittens a few days after they were born.

A Surprising Update on Tater Tot

We never thought Tater would still be with us 8 days after his diagnosis of FIP, a fatal disease. It's possible the diagnosis was wrong because after not eating for days, losing weight and a soaring temperature, we discovered that Tater was suffering from two parasitic infections. Once treatment began, a new kitten emerged, one who surprised us all.

Enjoy this special look at one very special kitten.

Help Pom Pom Walk

We tried. We tried so hard, but now we need you.

Pom Pom Pomegranate has no chance of walking without discomfort unless we remove her back left leg. It’s taken us 10 months, specialist visits, tests, treatments, and zillions of hours of physical therapy to come to this decision. We need all of you to make it happen.

We need to raise $6,000. by March 9^th.

Give Pom Pom the gift of less pain and a chance to walk more easily.

Why Now?

Pom Pom is almost a year old. Her body will not improve beyond what we've been able to do for her.

Imagine you have to keep your leg stretched out. You can’t bend it. You can’t support yourself on your foot because it bends backward at an awkward angle. The weight of the malformed leg forces your back to twist unnaturally. It causes shocks of nerve pain. How can you live like that?

Pom Pom can’t continue to live like this.

We know there are surgical risks. We’ve done extra testing to be as safe as we can be. Will this surgery make everything perfect? No, but her back leg hinders her mobility, so we feel this is her best option. We have to try for Pom Pom.
