TOBY UPDATE 🚨
Well Trevor family , sweet Toby is sadly not out of the woods yet with his infection and despite his very happy demeanor, he still is at risk to actually lose his pen*s ☹️
The infection created some openings on each sides and they were stitched up but with his activity and some necrotic tissue , it is now reopened and his vet doesn’t know that it can be repaired again …
We sure are rooting for this sweet soul who is facing way too much heartache for a 3 months old kitten !
He is in his 3rd day of hospitalization and we hope we can get some good news soon !
Don’t forget to donate if you can as we are still short of our $1200 goal and we clearly probably will need additional care past what was projected …
Donations can be made via PayPal at www.PayPal.me/trevorfoundation or via Venmo ( QR code in comments ).
Thank you everyone for all your good wishes and your help ! We couldn’t do this without you !
UPDATE ON LILY ❤️
We received many messages inquiring about how Lily was doing and we are happy to report that a month after her accident , Lily is starting to put weight on her back legs 🎉🎉🎉
This sweet girl went thru so much and after we consulted 2 surgeons, it was unclear if surgery was even going to be guaranteeing a full recovery …
When Dharma Rescue took her over , they went thru the same process and their vet concluded that with crate rest , laser therapy , acupuncture and physical therapy, Lily may be able to walk again but surgery on her spine would definitely be risky …
As for now, Lily , who is only 10 months old, is enjoying her new life indoors where she is being pampered like a princess 😊
The memories of her assault and her miscarriage are we hope behind her and she is focusing on finding her inner kitten again.
She still needs to be expressed daily and maybe that is a function she may not recover , or maybe she will !
Regardless , Lily has opened the hearts of many and received an outpouring of support thru our fundraiser with Cuddly ❤️
We cannot wait for more happy news !
CAUTION ⚠️
GRAPHIC IMAGES
Today we offered this sweet soul an graceful exit to a very painful condition spotted by the caretakers of a colony in Riverside CA a couple of days ago …
Stormy was a discarded stray who found a home amongst a colony well cared for by a wonderful lady named Susan …
But Stormy disappeared and when she showed back in the area a few days ago, she was in a horrible condition…
Susan reached out to us and wanted to know if we could at least get her to the vet for a diagnosis and we were happy to !
Stormy was secured very early this morning and as soon Susan had a closer look at her wounds , she knew it was bad ☹️
We called Primary Care and they opened up a spot right away , concerned about the video we had sent them.
Upon exam, it was determined that Stormy had a very bad tumor anchored in her lower jaw bone and sadly, prognosis was not good …
Most likely cancer, a surgery was risky and even if we could secure a skilled surgeon , they would have had to remove the jaw bone and that would have left her with no quality of life .
So we all agreed it was best to let Stormy go in grace , surrounded by the people who loved and cared for her , ending a very obvious suffering 💔
It is not always easy to make these decisions but at the end , it is part of our responsibility …at least she didn’t die on the streets …
Fly free Stormy …until we meet again 🌈
LILY UPDATE 🚨🚨🚨🚨
Lily saw our vet yesterday for an evaluation so we can have a plan for her surgery …
Upon taking fresh X-rays and physical exam, most of Lily’s issues seem to stem from the spinal compression her fractures are generating …
The good news is she has full sensation thru her legs so we know the spinal cord is intact ! The bad news is we are 2 weeks into her injuries and time is ticking to get her to surgery !
Dr Pedraza will let us of his strategy today and estimate of cost for her procedure .
In the meantime , Lily continues to be on crate rest with heavy pain meds on board to keep her stable .
Thank you all who have donated so far …we need a village to rally around this sweet Angel who has had a very band hand dealt her way 😊
Keep sharing ! Keep donating !
We raised so far $450 towards her very large surgery bill….we need a miracle !

ALL HANDS ON DECK 🚨🚨🚨
We just responded to an urgent call for help regarding this poor cat who looks to have a very bad infected injury needing immediate care !
We named him Sebastian and he is getting trapped so we can get him to the vet asap !
He was spotted in the Paramount CA area by numerous people and networked on a few social media pages over the past few days but Betty was the one who went to help and contacted us !
We don’t know what we are looking at in terms of injuries but we know this needs to be taken care before the infection reaches the bone …
Please donate what you can to this fundraiser or our PayPal account at www.PayPal.me/trevorfoundation so we can get Sebastian at Primary Care Animal Hospital right away !
Betty will foster him and hopefully he won’t have to go back on the streets ever again !
Thank you Team Trevor ! We are counting on you ❤️

UPDATE ON SHERRI ❤️
Hi Trevor Family and happy Friday !
We are so happy to share an update on sweet Sherri, only a short week after she was taken in to address her wounds.
We are happy to report that her large abscess is healing well and she has gone back to her sweet and chatty self 😊
Her caretaker Hannah was having a hard time thinking about letting her back on the streets so she looked for resources to get her rescued and adopted and thanks to the lovely team at Cats In Tow, she now has a place to land for her next adventure !
While this is a very short story, it is so telling of the power of human kindness and what can be accomplished when we all come together to save a life ….
We couldn’t be happier for sweet Sherri and await some good news as soon as she finds a forever home !
Thank you all for your support !
Until next time ….

UPDATE ON MR BEAN ❤️
Look at him ! Isn’t this the best testimony of what community help means ??!!!
Mr Bean was going down fast with a horrible untreated URI a week ago and then…he came in a shop asking for help and he got it 😊
From stray to yeah ! Mr Beans still has a week of meds to go and then we will start his basic vetting with vaccines and neutering and he will become a shop kitty where he can be safe and loved 🥰
Yeah Mr Beans ! We are so happy he is doing so much better and so grateful for his guardian Angel Monica who has been diligently taking care of him while managing a very hectic family life at the moment …
Thank you Trevor family to jumping in right away and helping us get the funds we needed to care for his URI …team Trevor is the best !
Until the next chapter !

BEAR IS BLOCKED AGAIN ☹️
This was not the news we wanted but unfortunately it can happen and we have to take care of this sweet boy !
After being released on Christmas Eve with one day short of his protocol due to the vet closing on Christmas , Bear had a couple of so so days until Monday where he started to hide again …
He was seen right away and he was not blocked then but today it’s a full blockage and we have to start all over again …
He will stay until Saturday again and see where we get …if he is not clear by then he will have to be transferred to a 24h hospital to complete his cycle so he gets cleared this time …
So far we are looking at $1300 to get him there and we are counting once again on you Team Trevor to get us there …
Our fundraiser was a little short last week for his first bill so we are hoping to be able to raise all this time ❤️
Please donate what you can to our fundraiser or to our PayPal account at www.PayPal.me/trevorfoundation (link in bio) or directly to Primary Care Animal Hospital by calling 562-274-7776.
Thank you Team ! Let’s help Bear get thru this ! We can do it !!!!

Merry Christmas everyone 🎁
3 years ago, The Trevor Foundation was born …3 years ago, Trevor left us….
For the ones who do not know his story, Trevor was a young community cat in Long Beach CA who showed up one day at his feeding station dragging himself in agony. The colony caretaker put out a plea and out then rescue Zoey’s Place answered the call, not knowing it would be our biggest case to date .
Trevor had a shattered pelvis and his bladder and colon were encased in scar tissue …when our vet first saw the X-rays , he shook his head and asked if we really wanted to take this on ….we said “absolutely !”….his first surgery was 7 hours long and he had a total of 22 procedures so he could walk and function again …
Trevor became a beacon of hope for all who knew and followed him …he had a light in his eyes and such kindness that he made you feel like life was worth living .
He made it thru all and thrived against all odds and had many guardian angels who helped his recovery …
Sadly, Trevor decided to exit this earth after contracting FIP, a terrible illness that has robbed so many …we fought hard but he had decided his mission was complete and left us all heartbroken yet inspired to do more in his memory ….
Trevor has his paw prints all over my heart and continuing his mission to show that stray cats life do matter and do deserve a second chance…
This is our story and we hope you will continue to support our vision this holiday season ❤️

As we begin this official long weekend of gratitude , we wanted to share some great updates regarding our little marvel Harry ❤️
2 weeks ago, Harry had his double entropion surgery which saved his eyesight but has an incredibly painful recovery ☹️
Harry was miserable and looked so bad with constant crusty eyes and difficult healing along his stitching …but…slightly ahead of schedule , he went in for his recheck and under light sedation, his stitches were finally removed , eyes cleaned and released from the bound of the all lightly cone and crate rest ….this video just shows his reaction 😊
We are so happy this little guy is finally going to get a new lease on his young life and that’s all thanks to your generous donations !
His foster mom Jeanette has been wiping her tears at last and putting on a glorious smile watching Harry play again, knowing he finally has a chance to feel at home pain free !
We have so much gratitude in our hearts for our Trevor family , the constant support and the happiness we get to spread thanks to you ❤️
Happy thanksgiving everyone !

WE DID IT 🎉🎉🎉
Trevor family ! You have answered the call once again !!!!
We raised $1200 in funds and had a pledge of $300 coming tomorrow AND we just had a surprise $220 donation directly to Primary Care Animal Hospital just RIGHT NOW 😊😊😊 Soooo….that mean we met goal for Harry’s surgery and this little guy just came home from his procedure !!!!
I know he looks worse by far BUT in about 2 weeks, after his sutures are removed, he will be enjoying life a lot more !
Entropion surgery requires the damaged eyelids to be cut and in Harry’s case, it was both top and bottom and Dr Jacobo also opened up his eyes a little too 😊
We want to thank you all for caring about this sweet boy and answering the call once again ! Harry has a bright future ahead of him and you all can pat yourself on the back for it !
Victory dance !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 😊

WHO WANTS TO START THE WEEK WITH GOOD NEWS ???!!!!
Drum roll please !….Finley has been adopted 😻😻😻
That’s right ! The emaciated kitten found injured on the side of a busy California freeway, who was starring at a sure amputation of his mangled leg while fighting for his life has found a forever family to call his own ❤️
We are so grateful for all the wonderful humans who have contributed to this amazing story …
The family who adopted family followed his progress from day 1 and they are experienced repeat adopters from our days at Zoey’s Place Rescue so even if Finley at this point looks and acts like a normal rambunctious 4 months old kitten, we know that his injured leg could potentially create some issues down the line, still looking at an amputation, and they are fine with whatever comes their way 😊
I don’t know about you but this story is making our hearts burst and it is the perfectly example of the power of love and compassion, when people come together to save a life, from the day Finley was rescued to the day he was adopted, with everything in between sprinkled with hope and determination …
Let’s keep up the good work Trevor Family❤️
Happy Monday everyone !
UPDATE ON SURI ❤️
This sweet Angel had her surgery yesterday as we couldn’t wait any longer for risk for further infection.
Thanks to the team from Fix Long Beach Pets and Animals, she did great and is recovering at home with her new foster family 😊
She will need to go back in 2 weeks for a recheck , remove her stitches and start her vaccines .
What a lucky kitten she is to have escaped the fate of some many street cats who get injured and die discarded on the streets ! She had a team of amazing humans who decided to do something and took her in …
She is now safe and loved and has a home to grow old in 😊
Unfortunately our fundraiser only reached $450 out of the $675 we need to cover her procedure so please keep in donating what you can as our emergency piggy bank is really on a diet right now ☹️
You can donate thru our PayPal account at www.PayPal.me/trevorfoundation or thru our fundraiser .
Thank you all for your support for Suri ! Once again, Team Trevor brought some much needed community love and we made a difference ❤️

FINLEY UPDATE ❤️
Our little survivor is doing amazingly well for what he has been thru and what he is fighting and we are happy to report that Finley is eating like a champ !
At 550 grams , this little pumpkin needs a lot of nutrition before he can be considered for surgery but we are hopeful we will get to the 2lbs mark quicker than expected 😊
His foster mom is doing an amazing job and he is getting so much love …how can he not thrive !..
On a sadder note, we received a message from someone who sadly confirmed our suspicions about him being dumped on the freeway…they found his sibling on the other side of that spot, sadly dead on the carpool lane 🥺…how do people even think about these horrible things is beyond us but it makes Finley’s rescue even more meaningful …he will make it thru ! We will show him the way to a loving life !
Team Trevor has been amazing and we raised $1700 so far ! Only $800 to go 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you all for opening your hearts to Finley’s story and being so generous in a time where we know it can be difficult .
You guys rock ! Let’s hear it for community love 💕
We will keep you posted on his progress but until then, please keep on sharing and donating via our fundraisers or PayPal account (www.PayPal.me/trevorfoundation)…..we are almost there !
