VINNY

Poor Vinny has endured more hardship than any animal ever should. Jackie first spotted him about two months ago, abandoned just a few blocks away from the feral colony she feeds. At first, he was terrified, hiding under parked cars, trembling at the sight of anyone. But as the days passed, he slowly allowed us […]

CRICKET

Last-minute rescue! Meet Cricket — a very tiny feral tuxedo kitten, about 8 weeks old, suffering from Rhinotracheitis (FVR). His eyes were full of green discharge, and his inner eyelids were halfway closed. The infection had been worsening day by day, and untreated, it could have led to blindness or worse; FVR can even cause […]

HOLLY

Last Friday, on his way to church, Paul noticed a very sick cat wandering the streets all alone. She looked so weak and in such obvious pain that he couldn’t get her out of his mind. From that day on, Paul has been making the 45-minute drive each way from the sanctuary just to check […]

Mimi diagnosed with stage 2 CKD

Our 9-year-old Mimi went to the vet today after not feeling like herself. The tests so far show some concerning results: For now, Mimi is starting on a special renal diet. Once all the tests are completed, the vet will decide on the best treatment plan and any needed medication. Mimi has always been such […]

Toby was rescued last Monday (08/25) and rushed to the vet clinic where he began his treatment right away. We knew […]

Toby diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism and Cardiomegaly

Toby (10) was rescued on August 25, 2025. Abandoned, rather docile but very scared and stressed, painfully thin, injured and unable to walk. We rushed him straight to the vet clinic, where he was hospitalized and received urgent care. The vet has confirmed several serious health problems: X-rays showed that Toby suffers from severe arthritis […]

TOBY

On August 25th, late in the afternoon, Toby’s journey with us began in the most heartbreaking way. He was found abandoned, malnourished, and injured — unable to walk, his frail body showing the weight of years of neglect. It was clear he had been left behind at a time when he needed care the most.

Chloé’s dental surgery went well!

2 weeks into treatment, we took Chloé for a follow-up visit to check on her progress. While the Esophagitis is much better, the Caudal Stomatitis is NOT😿so the vet has opted for a FME (Full Mouth Extraction) to try to get it under control. RELATED: Chloé diagnosed with Caudal Stomatitis and Esophagitis On Wednesday 08/06, […]

Chloé diagnosed with Caudal Stomatitis and Esophagitis

After an exhaustive checkup, Chloé was diagnosed with Caudal Stomatitis and Esophagitis, the latter being the cause of her choking on food. While both diseases are manageable, the treatment is rather long and complicated, and the Stomatitis could become chronic (like Angel’s) if we cannot get it under control; thankfully it’s been caught early! Chloé […]
