This year we have been called to help animals with a variety of medical needs . Clam , Spooner , and Blondie all needed eye surgery . Raven and Sam required echocardiograms for heart murmurs . We are at the height of kitten season and have over 100 kittens in foster care . Those are a lot of mouths to feed ! The kittens will need vaccines , spay / neuter surgery and microchipping before they are ready to be adopted .
These are just some of the animals that we ’ ve helped with the generous support of our donors . Our goal is to raise $ 85,000 by September 25th , all to benefit the animals in our care .
Your donation can and does save lives !
