Meet Donna! She’s a shy, 4-year-old cat who came to us struggling with advanced dental disease.

Our vet team found she's already missing multiple teeth, along with some severe gum inflammation and a painful tooth condition. Left untreated, this level of disease causes chronic pain and can lead to bigger health issues.

To help her come out of her shell more as she searches for her forever home, Donna needs dental surgery to extract the affected teeth.

Help us give Donna the pain-free smile and fresh start she deserves. Every gift to our Lifesaver Fund goes directly toward dental care for her and animals just like her, bringing them one step closer to comfort, health, and a forever home. 💖🏠

Pet of the Week: Meet Molly! 🐾

Molly is a 1-year-old lovebug with super soft black and white fur and bright green eyes. She may be a little slow to warm up, but once she’s comfortable, she’ll request non-stop pets and playtime with her very cute, squeaky meow.

Since settling into her foster home, Molly has really come out of her shell and is showing off her sweet, curious personality more and more each day. She has so much love to give to someone who will adore her!

And Molly’s adoption fee is fully sponsored by Arm & Hammer!

Want to meet Miss Molly and fall in love? Send a message to [email protected] to get a meet and greet set up!💖
