Who are the animals in the Special Needs Program?

 

Most have suffered serious trauma - both physical and emotional, or have painful or debilitating conditions that can require expensive medical care.Help us make sure they get the time, attention and medicine that they need to heal.

By donating to the Special Needs Medical Fund you will be helping with urgent and long term care for some of the neediest animals at the shelter.Your donation will help give them a whole new life.

Here is one of the eight babies whose life was saved today...this little one is 2-3 days-old and requires around-the-clock care for the next 4-6 weeks.  We are in dire need of Kitten Replacer Milk and Sweet Scoop litter for these so that they don't get infections from eating/contact with the clay litter. These babies completely rely on "us" (referring also to our AMAZING foster parents) to keep them alive.  It is a big and SO rewarding job.  Thank you to all of our foster families and kitty-caretakers! Donating to the Special Needs Fund will help cover the costs for medications and/or food and supplies required to keep these babies healthy.  Thank you for your support!
This foster baby had to have an emergency catheter implanted underneath the cast due to an overgrowth of bacteria that resulted in a life-threatening GI infection.  The fees to save the life of this little one totaled over $400.  THIS is why our Special Needs Medical Fund is SO important to these animals.  Without your help, we couldn't help them.  Please donate today!!

Hope is a fragile girl suffering from the psychological trauma of being isolated in a basement with no human/animal contact for 13 years.  She is one example of why our Special Needs Program is so important, as she requires specific care while the long-term emotional healing begins.   

Delilah was found near Clearwater Junction and had a serious eye injury/infection.  The generosity of a person who couldn't bear to see her suffer saved Delilah's life.  Unfortunately, she had to have surgery that included her eye being removed, but that didn't get her spirits down.  She has since been adopted and will be going to her forever home soon!  Your donation to the Special Needs Medical Fund can help pay for unexpected expenses such as this that give animals like Delilah a second chance.
