Urgent plea for vet care support 🥺 The need for help keeps growing, but the donations haven’t been keeping up. In May alone, we spent over $3,000 in veterinary care 😩
Wild Whiskers focuses on helping the cats that are often overlooked — the ferals, the hospice kitties, and the medical cases that need someone willing to step in and give them a chance.
Some need extensive long-term treatment, while others simply need compassion, proper veterinary care, and a safe place to land while they heal. They deserve comfort, love, and the opportunity to feel better.
But right now… we are drowning in vet bills.
In the middle of moving, you’ll still find me sitting in the shower with a scared new community cat — gently combing fly eggs from his fur, giving him ear scratches, and trying to help him feel safe for the first time in who knows how long.
That sweet boy, Eli, is in very rough shape and has a vet appointment tomorrow. We said yes to him because we couldn’t stand watching him suffer alone outside for one more minute, but that yes means yet another bill on top of all of the others.
These are only the vet bills — this does not include medications, preventatives, food, litter, supplies, supplements, or the endless daily care these cats require.
Our May vet care beyond routine care included:
🐾 Zev - over $300 after developing MRSA in his eye socket following eye removal surgery, requiring culture and medication.
🐾 Patriot - over $1,000 for his full mouth extraction, senior pre op bloodwork and x-rays.
🐾 Chance - over $1,000 for her stomatitis full mouth extraction, and follow-up care after she became lethargic, stopped eating, and started losing weight after surgery.
🐾 Baby Brielle - over $100 in x-rays when she could not properly use her back legs and we needed to rule out injuries.
🐾 Ben - over $200 for diagnostics and humane euthanasia after his terminal cancer diagnosis.
🐾 Kai - over $300 in bloodwork and supportive care.
And now Eli needs help too 🥺
These cats we help improve tremendously with proper veterinary care and compassionate treatment. They deserve more than suffering outside in pain simply because medical care is expensive.
But we cannot continue saying yes to these cases without support from the community behind us.
If Wild Whiskers and the work we do means something to you, please consider donating or sharing this post. Even $5 truly helps and adds up more than you know.
Your support is the reason these cats get a chance to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for instead of suffering alone outside.
Thank you for standing with us beside the forgotten ones ❤️🩹
