Wild Country Farm Sanctuary Central Texas animal sanctuary caring for sick, injured, unwanted and abandoned animals

I haven’t been on much this past week because I’ve been struggling. It’s all been too much.

The emergencies, the medical bills, the losses and trying to keep everything here going have taken more out of me than I know how to put into words.

I’m exhausted. I’m overwhelmed. Financially, we are in a very scary place.

And I do not feel okay.

And I need to be. I need to be okay because everyone here depends on me to keep going, and right now I’m struggling to do that.

We had another emergency over the weekend ($877). Thankfully, Starlet is doing okay, but she now needs follow-up care for a possible diabetes diagnosis.

And today, I took Pontiff in because he just hasn’t been himself.

His kidney values are very bad.

Pontiff is Peanut’s brother, and his numbers look frighteningly similar to Peanut’s when he became critically ill and needed a blood transfusion in December.

Today’s visit was $190. Now Pontiff needs to be hospitalized, monitored, put on IV fluids and will likely need a blood transfusion.

We are looking at AT LEAST another $1,000 just for Pontiff.

And that is on top of everything we already owe from the string of emergencies, hospitalizations and cremations we have barely begun to recover from. We are behind on feed. We still have medical bills hanging over us. Starlet needs follow-up care. And now Pontiff needs emergency treatment.

Realistically, we need to raise at least $3,000 right now. (I will get the exact amount together.)

I hate saying this, but I don’t know how we survive this stretch of emergencies without help.

I’m scared of what happens if we cannot raise this money. I’m scared of not being able to give Pontiff the treatment he needs. I’m scared of falling even further behind when we are already struggling to catch up.

Right now, we need something close to a miracle.

If you can donate, the link is in our bio. Any amount helps. Truly. It will go toward Pontiff’s hospitalization, IV fluids and blood transfusion, Starlet’s follow-up care, our outstanding medical bills and keeping everyone here fed and cared for.

By now, most of you are aware that we were hit with FOUR emergencies in less than 36 hours a couple of weeks ago. It was a nonstop NIGHTMARE. I was up for two days straight, going back and forth between two different clinics.

We lost three beloved babies. Bagel had an instantly fatal reaction to Bravecto (a flea/tick medication), Pepper was suspected to have suffered heatstroke and our vets could not identify why Marshmallow was suddenly having seizures.

THANK GOD Butters was ok. He had just eaten too much, or maybe the food just didn’t agree with his little stomach that day. He had vomited multiple times and became severely dehydrated. An hour on IV fluids and he bounced back 🙏

It was a HORRIBLE couple of days that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

Aside from the emergency vet bills, we have also been faced with over $700 in cremation costs. ❤️‍🩹

This brought the total for four emergencies and three cremations to $3,286.

It’s been traumatic, to say the least. I haven’t even been able to fully wrap my mind around it all yet. I feel like I’m sort of stuck in limbo because I keep needing to talk about it in order to ask for help. That’s why I’ve been a little quiet lately. Everything just feels off and yucky, for lack of a better word.

An anonymous donor has offered a $300 MATCH, which means any new donations that come in after 11:30 a.m. CST will be DOUBLED, up to $300.

Every $1 donated becomes $2. We are urgently trying to turn $300 into $600 to help pay off our vet bills.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT that we pay these off because these vets are our lifeline. Not only for regular care, but when another emergency inevitably occurs, WE NEED to be able to access urgent medical care.

An emergency can happen at any time, and I cannot carry an outstanding balance and then bring in new animals who need care. I hope everyone understands just how vital this is. They have already given me two extensions, and TODAY, Thursday, September 10, is our deadline.

Please help us by donating and sharing.

A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH.

The 2 cats on the left are Gina’s. She worked so hard, through gut-wrenching heartache and tears, to try to save them. The cat on the right was found too late. There are so many more.

A growing number of Gina’s cats are returning to her tent in excruciating pain, with blood flowing from their noses and mouths after eating rodents who have been poisoned.

Most are dying despite urgent medical care and 24/7 treatment.

Including LOZA (Almond), who so many of us have come to love as we watched her grow from a tiny kitten, rescued just one day before their last displacement. 💔 Gina’s husband found her a few days ago, along with several others who were simply searching for food.

Gina is DEVASTATED.

There is little she can do except try to keep the cats fed so they don’t have to search for food outside her tent. And even that has become an insurmountable struggle.

They are receiving well under €100 per week. Not enough to keep Gina’s family and the cats fed for even ONE DAY.

We HAVE to get more people signed up to give €1 a day. That is only €30 ($34.84) a month.

Gina is going to lose more of her cats if we cannot find people willing to step in NOW. The cats are starving. Gina and her family are barely surviving.

I don’t know what else it takes to get people involved. I don’t know how to better appeal to those who care about Gina, her family and the animals she has spent years rescuing. It feels like we have tried everything, yet donations continue to become less and less.

What is happening in Gaza is far beyond simply “not fair.” It is HELL beyond our imagination.

Thousands of people follow Gina Hussein. Collectively, we have the power to change what happens to this family.

How much more do they have to lose before enough of us decide to act?

The Chuffed donation link is in both Gina Hussein’s and Wild Country Farm Sanctuary’s bios.

Please donate. Please share.

My big boys, Oz and BearBear, coming to check on me while I was looking for our blind goat Eldon one early morning a few days ago.

Usually Oz stays right with me, but he was too sleepy so he just kept a watchful eye on me from a comfortable distance.

Such a pretty sunrise 🧡

Boring, but important.

This is Jennifer’s total bill after ER surgery for a re**al prolapse.

This was an unforeseen medical emergency, one of many that we run into caring for so many animals.

I don’t post every single medical issue, vet visit or procedure, usually because of the time and mental expenditure it takes to take photos/video, write a detailed caption and post when I’m already working hard just to stay on track.

But when we get in the weeds, which has been the case for the past 2 weeks, I don’t have a choice.

This is an incredibly expensive job for which I take ZERO income. So when bills become more than I can financially handle alone, I have to ask for help.

This is where I am.

Over $3,000 in emergency medical bills for 5 different animals and just a little over halfway raised. (Which I am ENORMOUSLY GRATEFUL for!)

I don’t like making these posts. Fundraising is stressful, exhausting and frankly not fun at all. But it is a huge part of my job. I have to be able to continually provide the best care possible for the animals. Not just today, this week or even this year. It is literally neverending.

We rely so much on our community during difficult times, which thankfully are relatively few and far between. This is the third time we’ve been hit with back-to-back emergencies in our five years of existence. Though these were waaaay more condensed than previously.

If you feel compelled to help, please know that though medical bills may seem boring, they are VITAL to keeping the animals safe and keeping us active in our little corner of the world.

Even if you can only donate a few dollars, it matters. Recently we’ve been functioning on a handful of the same incredibly generous donors getting us through. But many small donations add up.

And if you aren’t able or comfortable donating, sharing helps our page reach more people who may be able to help.

If you made it this far, thank you. You are the reason we are still here. Your love and support mean more than you probably realize.

Link in bio if you are able to help.

Jennifer headed to the vet yesterday evening to prepare for surgery today on a re**al prolapse (shown at end of the video, in case you are sensitive to medical images!)

She was so nervous 🥺 but she should be feeling much better soon. I’m still waiting on an update from our vet.

The estimate is $550 and we desperately need help with this, particularly with all of the emergency bills piling up.

Because of the urgency in having this addressed I could not wait on fundraising, in the hopes that we can make it up 🙏🙏🙏 Which is very scary at this point!

We’ve been under heavy emergency medical costs the past 2 weeks. 5 animals, all unrelated conditions 😫

Total emergency costs: $3,286.88
Total raised: $1,787.00
🚨Still needed: $1,499.88‼️

We are a small sanctuary and funded entirely by myself, with the help of our little community. I literally cannot do this without your support.

If you are able to donate any amount it is so greatly appreciated. There is no donation too small because it all moves us in the right direction.

100% of all donations goes directly to the animals in our care.
