A Little Heart Worth Fighting For

Posted on by

3/6/26: Mochi Needs Your Help! This sweet little guy was found as a stray, and during his exam a heart condition was discovered. Now Mochi needs to see a cardiologist to determine exactly what is going on.

We have offered to cover the cost of his cardiology consult and echocardiogram typically $600–$800, so he can get the answers he needs and the best chance at a healthy future.

Unfortunately, most cardiologists are booked several months out, but we’re hoping to hear back today and get him on a cancellation list.

Until we know more, it has been difficult for the rescuer to place Mochi into a forever home without knowing what kind of long-term care he may require.

For now, we wait and hope for answers. Please keep Mochi in your thoughts and prayers.

A Late-Night Plea for Bubba and a Life-Saving Yes

Posted on by

2/24/26: Just before Valentine’s Day, I received a late-night message about a cat found outside in heartbreaking condition — discharge from his eye and a traumatic wound to his rear leg with damage to the bone that could not be saved.

His name is Bubba.

He needed emergency amputation surgery to survive. He tested FIV positive but the doctor felt he had a chance at a good quality of life with treatment, so we approved $2,000 to help save him..

“Bubba” is now safe with a rescue and recovering.

I reached out for an update and can’t wait to share how he’s doing.

Luna’s Lump Wasn’t the End, It Was the Beginning of Hope

Posted on by

2/24/26. Two weeks ago, a sweet kitty now named Luna was found outside with a massive lump hanging from her abdomen.

We approved her to be taken to Comfort Place Animal Hospital where she was diagnosed with a large abdominal hernia. Surgery was necessary — and they got her in right away.🙏

Today, she’s recovering, safe, loved, on a new path and a rescue group stepped up to find permanent placement.

Because of the good samaritan, the vet, the rescue, and your support in our mission, Luna was given hope.

Valentino: From Frostbite and Fear to a Second Chance at Love

Posted on by

2/15/26: Valentino was found inside a shop, trying to survive the cold. Frostbite covers his ears. He is emaciated, sick, eyes dripping, congested – a young helpless soul.

A few nights ago, I came across his urgent post on a rescue page – and we said yes to sponsor his medical care.

Yesterday, on Valentines Day, he was seen at the hospital where treatment began right away. And now, because of Jennifer and her husband, he has a safe home to begin healing.

Ginger, Ashley, and Smokey: Saved from the Cold and Finally Safe

Posted on by

2/6/26: These three sweet cats were struggling outside—cold, hungry, and exposed during this brutal winter weather.

Ginger, the orange girl, suffered damage to her ear, likely frostbite, and all three—Ginger, Ashley, and Smokey—were battling upper respiratory infections.

A kind and determined woman worked tirelessly in the freezing cold to safely trap them. Once they were secure, we were able to cover the cost of their exams, spay/neuter, vaccinations, and medical treatment. They are now safe and cared for with Cat Tale Acres Rescue.

We could not do this without our supporters. Because of you, these cats are warm, safe, and on the path to healing. Thank you for standing with them during this heartbreaking stretch of cold.

Cocolino’s Hard Beginning for a Very Small Life

Posted on by

2/5/26: Cocolino is only about 3 months old and already fighting a battle no baby should ever face. She was found as a stray with multiple traumatic injuries—a broken pelvis and two broken legs. One leg is severely displaced and will likely need amputation, while the other side may require fracture repair. Right now, we’re taking things one step at a time as her medical team determines the best path forward.

The good news: Cocolino is urinating on her own, able to use the bathroom, and is comfortable on pain medication. She was tested today for FeLV and FIV, with results expected tomorrow. Despite everything, this little girl is still here, still trying, still holding on.

Cocolino is being lovingly cared for by Patricia, a compassionate rescuer who is deeply dedicated to helping animals in need. She didn’t turn away—she stepped up when Cocolino needed someone most.

Now we need help. The medical care ahead will be extensive, and the costs will add up quickly. If you’re able to donate, share, or send prayers, it truly makes a difference. Every dollar helps give Cocolino a chance at a pain-free, happy life. Thank you Orion Animal Hospital for getting this baby in today and for your amazing team of doctors and staff.
