💔 URGENT: Rocket Needs Your Help 💔

Rocket's world changed in an instant.

This sweet boy was surrendered as an emergency case from a local vet office when his owner could not afford the lifesaving care he desperately needed. By the time he reached us, Rocket had not been able to urinate for nearly two days. His bladder was painfully distended and hard as a rock. He was suffering, and without immediate intervention, he would not survive.

We rushed him to Stafford Veterinary Center, where the team worked quickly to save his life. The inflammation was so severe that they were unable to place a catheter. Instead, they had to perform an emergency procedure to relieve his bladder. Bloodwork revealed his kidneys were beginning to shut down from the blockage.

Rocket was critical.

Last night was tough, but this brave boy held on. He fought through the pain and made it through the night. ❤️

This morning, we're waiting for updated kidney values, hoping they have improved enough for Rocket to undergo surgery.

Rocket didn't ask for any of this. He didn't ask to be in pain. He didn't ask to lose his home. But today, he is relying on us.

His medical care is expected to exceed $3,000, and we cannot do it alone.

If you can spare even $5, $10, or $20, it will help give Rocket the chance he deserves a chance to heal, to be loved, and to finally know a life free from pain.

Please donate if you can, and share Rocket's story. Every share could reach the person who helps save his life.

Thank you for standing with Rocket when he needs it most. 🐾💙

We’ve all been there in our teen years right? We go on a date and think “I can fix him.” 😅 Well, if you have any of that energy left in ya, might we recommend ✨Ashton✨

Ashton can be a certified spicy guy, but he has so much potential. Ashton was brought in over the winter, where he was in and out of someone’s garage trying to survive the cold. But now it’s June and he’s still here.

During his first few weeks, he was quite the tough guy, but over time he’s softened up, and we are blessed with the occasional slow blink and meow for attention. Ashton prefers to people watch and loves a good piece of chicken, which we think may be the key to his heart 🤭

Ashton’s handsome, rugged, mysterious. We don’t know his whole past, but those chubby tomcat cheeks tell enough stories of his outside life. With a dedicated and patient adopter, Ashton may never be a lap cat, but he will be a good boy. We’re all in Ashton’s corner, and we’re hoping someone else will be too. Like I said, we can fix him 😉
