Poe’s Purpose

Update: she has been adopted! Her new family felt it was the best way they could honor their sweet Finnigan who recently passed ❤️

Our broken leg kitten is ready to find a home! She’s all patched up for now, but the vet did warn us that there’s a chance she might end up needing her leg amputated anyways (but she should still thrive, even as a tripod kitty).

She needs to be an indoor kitty … Is there anyone looking to add a little ball of fluff to their family? We will be taking care of vet expenses connected to her leg injury as well as her spay when she’s big enough.

These kittens and their momma were found in a field and unfortunately, one of them has a broken leg. It’s going to the vet this morning and we’d really appreciate any help covering its bill! 🫶

📣LOOKING FOR IMMEDIATE PLACEMENT📣

This girl landed herself in the pound and went straight to the vet. She has demodex mange which sounds scary, but it’s easily treated with Nexguard and it’s NOT contagious.

She got some injectable meds and a Nexguard, along with a nail trim and a Parvo shot. A bath would do her a world of good, as would a stress free environment for her to heal!

If you know of a rescue or individual willing to take this sweet girl in, please let us know!

GUYS - I just got an update on this little baby and she’s doing GREAT! Using both back legs and eating, drinking, and going potty just fine. My heart needed this today! ❤️🎉🥹

This little girl was found in desloge yesterday with a missing tip of her tail and little use of her back legs, but she was alert and in good spirits.

She saw the vet today and she has a fractured right pelvis and no use of her left leg (possibly from a nerve injury). She can potty, but we’re not sure if she can control it. She was sent home with some meds and will be monitored to see how she progresses.

Donations to help cover her care are always welcome, but any info on rescues that take special needs kitties would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!!

Our Potosi Pound is having a rough go these past couple of weeks. Miss Ruby is positive for heart worms 😩

We appreciate Buddy trying to give us a break but this is what we were founded for! 💪🏼 Let’s show him how much we appreciate all HE does and help this sweet girl out.

You can donate at https://linktr.ee/poes_purpose or directly to the vet by calling Lawson Animal Hospital and donating to Ruby at the Potosi Pound (573-438-2077).

Alright, so here’s a weird one for ya … a momma cat and two kittens showed up as strays looking for help … and both kittens were missing the same part of their back legs. 😳

We can’t even imagine what might’ve happened, but they’ve all been to the vet twice now (first for meds for URIs and today for vaccines) and they’re all happy and healthy! Momma still needs to be spayed, and these bills are racking up fast, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Guys 🥹 look at this cutie patootie that’s been in the pound for way too long 💔

Lucky is heart worm negative and UTD on shots … he just needs to be neutered and we’re going to sponsor that! (Cost will be about $125 if you’d like to help cover it!)

If you know of someone looking for a dog-friendly addition to their family, Lucky is available for adoption now through the Bonne Terre Pound! 🍀
