Our Story
Tiny first arrived at the FSPCA tapped up in a cardboard box and weighing 30.2lbs. Over the past year he has lost half his body weight and gained back his health and a loving new home. Tiny works to spread awareness about the dangers of pet obesity, the importance of proper nutrition and exercise for all pets and he is raising funds to 'pay it forward' and help other special needs pets at the FSPCA!
You can support Tiny's Weight Loss Challenge Medical Fund for Special Needs Animals at the FSPCA by purchasing one of Tiny's Ties or some of his other 'swag' on his online Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TinysTies
You can also make a donation to Tiny's fund by calling the Fredericton SPCA (506-459-1555)
Tiny came to the Fredericton SPCA Animal Shelter on December 30th 2011. He was taped up in a cardboard box with another much smaller cat, Rapunzel, and left in the shelter lobby. At first we thought the box was full of donations of computer paper, cat treats, etc. but then the box meowed. We were shocked to see what was inside; 2 cats Tiny and Rapunzel.
During his initial health check Tiny weighed in at 30.2 lbs, the largest cat we have ever seen! Concerned about his health we are putting Tiny on a diet and are hoping to inspire others.
Your donations to Tiny's Weight Loss Challenge will go to a special medical fund to help special needs animals like Tiny at the Fredericton SPCA. Tiny's special canned diet food is estimated to cost $4 - $5 a day, as well he will need regular vet check-ups and could require extensive testing.
Already Tiny's Fund has helped 2 senior female dogs Rita and Kya who needed spay surgeries that because of their age are more extensive and expensive surgeries, they also required some mammary gland tumor removal and post-op care at a cost of roughly $1,200 each. Your support helped us provide these amazing animals the best medical care and a second chance at the good life!
Tiny's goal is to continue to raise funds and to pay if forward to other special needs animals at the FSPCA who haven't received the media attention that Tiny has! For information about how to donate please contact the Fredericton SPCA (506-459-1555) or consider purchasing something from Tiny's Ties Market online store.
