A young woman found this little guy and reached out to us for help with veterinary costs. As always you can donate using the button on this page or PayPal or by sending a check to NKLV PO BIX 4272 Bethlehem, Pa. 18018. Here is his story.
His name is Rue, I found him wandering through a very busy road stumbling and he was crying out loud. I work and go to LCCC and I took him there immediately because robyn Davis who work as a biology professor is a wonderful animal saving woman who has taken in lots of strays & knew what to do, we took him to highland vet down the road and they saw him and tested him for feline aids and leukemia, and took his weight 1.5 lbs and diagnosed him with: malnutrition, anemia, fractured pelvis, heart murmur, and the herpes virus. He’s been put on antibiotics and eye drops for his good eye every 6 hours. His bad eye is extremely swollen and needs to be removed as soon as he’s not too weak for surgery, estimating a week or two. He is peeing, eating, drinking, meowing, purring, moving around well and kneeding. He falls a lot when he walks due to the pelvis and may always walk a little wobbly for his life but is otherwise a happy boy, he currently just needs to get the eye removal surgery and go through recovery and he will be okay. We’re also searching for a home for him since he has herpes and I cannot care for him with my cats, however we have prospects on that especially if his surgery cost can be covered I think there are many options.
An update on Barney. This little guy is an inspiration. He’s gone from literally freezing to death to now eating and grooming. His mobility is still shakey, but he’s getting some strength back. Thank you to everyone who donated to help bring Barney back from the brink. And a very special thank you to the caregivers who did not give up on him.❤️
This is Barney. He was a stray in a trailer park. He was not doing well and when the really cold weather hit he collapsed in an outdoor shelter and began to freeze to death. A Good Samaritan found him and he is now in Perkioman Animal Hospital. This little guy is in bad shape, but we want to try to pull him through. His rescuer is willing to give him a home, but she cant afford the bill.

This adorable puppy was brought to Quakertown Vet Clinic by a couple who drove all the way from Mass. to Lancaster to buy her from a puppy mill. Yes, there are still people who either don’t know or don’t care that these places are irresponsible horror shows. They brought her from Lancaster to QVC because she was in respiratory distress. She needed oxygen and surgery. They, of course, could not pay so they left her there. Now the vet on emergency call had to either accept her as a relinquishment- and assume all the costs of treatment- or euthanize her. She chose to save her. Dr Guy DeNardo did the surgery to help her breathe, but could not do anything about her abnormally narrow trachea. This precious puppy is the victim of iresponsible breeding practices. Please don’t buy from puppy mills. If you must have a pure bred dog, find a reputable breeder. This puppy will probably only live 18 months even with the best care - which she now has. Please spread the word. Don’t buy from puppy mills.
Feral kitty after tail amputation.
We’d like to express our thanks to all of our supporters on this Thanksgiving weekend with this example of what your donations do.
We were contacted by a feral cat caretaker because one of her colony cats seemed to have injured its tail. We arranged for her to be seen at Rush Vet emergency clinic. They found that the tail was severely damaged and was partially necrotic. It looked like something had been wrapped around it. We provided funding for the amputation surgery and for the kitty to recover for a week in the hospital. Here she is, home and feeling much better. Thank you to the compassionate lady who cares for her and to the veterinary professionals who took care of her. If you would like to contribute to the work we do, use the button on this page or PayPal or send a check to NKLV PO BOX 4272 Bethlehem, Pa. 18018.
Here’s Poppy, the little kitten found in the middle of road, unable to see.
It’s been almost three weeks giving her antibiotics around the clock and now we will know more on Monday when she sees the eye specialist at Quakertown if her eyes can be saved.
Please consider making a donation towards Poppy’s care💛
