Today is North Texas Giving Day!! A day of hope for us and all the kitties waiting to be saved.
Many of you know we have been trapping kittens and cats at a trailer park since September 27, 2022.
Some of them are very sick, injured, hit by cars, kittens without moms, starving and all needing spayed and neutered.
Your donations for NTGD create:
♥️Second Chances
♥️Medical Help
♥️And sometimes even MIRACLES
One of those miracles is Mira!
Over the past 4 years Buddies Place has rescued 300+ kittens and adults from this trailer park and found them forever homes.
One special kitten was rescued on June 30th. Her name is Mira. I had finished trapping that day and had my goal of 10 when I looked down and this young emaciated kitten was trying to eat tuna that was inside a trap still set for an adult. This kitten would not be able to set off the trap because she was nothing but bones and too light weight.
My decision was to get her fast before she had time to run so I reached down and quickly shut the trap door. Once I was able to check her I knew she was in trouble.
Her gums were pale and she was lifeless. I rushed her to the closest animal ER and they informed me they had no vet and I could go 20 miles to another clinic called VEG.
All I could do is think she would be dead by then. I made it to VEG and she was barely alive, still barely moving.
They immediately started working on her and she was admitted for 4 days with IV catheters in her neck and leg for blood draws and antibiotics.
She had no red blood cells due to fleas draining her little body of less than 1 pound. She received fluids, antibiotics and had to have 2 blood transfusions. Miraculously she was discharged on July 4th.
Today she is 4 months old and a very healthy and happy little girl almost ready to find a forever home.
To save her life was not cheap but her life was worth it.
We really need your support today more than ever. If someone asked me “What is the one thing that closes down a rescue?” My answer would be NO MONEY.
So many more are out there just waiting for someone to come. We want to help them. If you can help us to continue to save from the streets with a donation of any amount simply click on the link.
Thank you for being there for us and for them. ♥️
