Second Chance Fund Provides Kitten with Life-Saving Medical Care
This kitten came to the shelter with five siblings and no
mother. He was one of the friendliest and most outgoing of the
bunch, but had an emergency issue with his digestive tract. The
Second Chance Fund allowed his foster family to cover medical
expenses for a life-saving surgery. His foster family didn't
even know they made post-surgical cones in such a small
size! They named him "Koni"
in honor of how cute he looked in his headgear. Koni quickly
recovered and is happy, healthy and ready for his
forever-family. Without the Second Chance Fund, Koni would not
be here today: The Second Chance fund was literally the
financial net that made the difference between life-and-death.
Please consider donating to help
cover Koni's medical expenses.
Over 2,000 pets have been altered
due to our Spay/Neuter Program!
These pets were owned by low-income families who could
not afford to have this done. In our current economic climate, it's painful to
ask families to choose between vet care for their animals and paying
their mortgage or phone bill. We need your help to keep these pets from
entering the shelter due to financial difficulties.
Dogs Neutered: 402
Dogs Spayed: 472
Cats Neutered: 515
Cats Spayed: 724
Rabbits Neutered: 32
Rabbits Spayed: 45
Our Spay/Neuter Program has changed, due to
limited funding.
Please read about our program and consider
donating to keep this program alive! Our
data is solid, and this program has helped spay and neuter over
2,000 pets from low-income households. Statistically, these pets are the
most likely to get pregnant and their litters frequently end up at the
animal shelter. Our Spay/Neuter Program has saved lives and also saved
tax money by reducing the number of pregnant and baby pets surrendered
to our local shelter. |
