๐พ Just Another Day in Rescueโฆ ๐๐พ
Today was another whirlwind of emotions here at FCAT.
I had to say goodbye to one of our sweet kitties, Birdie. ๐ Birdie was a little skittish and tended to keep to herself, rarely coming out where we could see her. When I realized she wasn't doing very well, I got her to our vet, hoping we could help her. Sadly, it was time to say goodbye. Fly free, sweet Birdie. You mattered, you were loved, and you will not be forgotten. ๐๐พ
Along with Birdie, I brought in Popeye and Patches, both having issues with the areas where their eyes were surgically removed.
๐พ Patches has a tear duct that needed cleaning. It's quite a large opening, and unfortunately, it tends to get clogged up.
๐พ Popeye has another infection brewing in the area where her eye was removed. We're starting another round of antibiotics, hoping to get the infection under control. If the abscess doesn't clear up, she may need a drain placed.
And because rescue never slows down, in the middle of all this, a tiny little baby was found lying all alone and frightened in a parking lot. Her mama had been hit by a car, leaving this little one without her.
One minute you're saying goodbye to a beloved rescue kitty, the next you're worrying about two others who need more medical care, and then you're trying to save a tiny life that has already lost so much. ๐
This is rescue. The heartbreak, the medical bills, the endless worry, the unexpected emergencies, and the responsibility of caring for those who have no one else.
For every happy adoption, there are days like this. Days when we cry, when our hearts ache, and when we have to find the strength to keep going because another little life is depending on us.
We do it because they matter. Every single one of them.
Thank you to everyone who supports FCAT, donates toward our veterinary care, shares our posts, and stands beside us through the good days and the heartbreaking ones. Every dollar, every kind word, and every bit of help makes a difference in the lives of these cats.
Tonight, we're holding Birdie in our hearts and hoping for better days ahead for Popeye, Patches, and our tiny new arrival. โค๏ธ๐พ
Just a regular day in rescue. ๐๐โโฌ
๐พโค๏ธ HELP US CARE FOR THE KITTIES! โค๏ธ๐พ
With new medical bills piling up, kittens needing formula, and so many mouths to feed, FCAT could use a little help from our amazing community.
Every single day, we care for cats and kittens who need a second chance. Some come to us sick, injured, abandoned, or simply too young to survive on their own without help. We do everything we can to give them the care, comfort, and love they deserve. ๐ฑ๐
If you would like to help with our new medical bills, purchase kitten formula, or support the many kitties who depend on us every day, please consider making a donation.
โค๏ธ Every dollar makes a difference. Whether it's $5, $10, or whatever you can spare, your kindness helps us continue this lifesaving work.
