A HOPE

02/03/2025

Looking for a little friend who loves giving kisses and cuddles? Look no further, Spore's got you covered! This sweet, affectionate fancy rat is ready to find his furever home and share all the love he has to offer.

Spore is a total lovebug and enjoys hanging out with his foster mom, but he’s a little shy around bigger, more dominant rats. He’d be happiest with ratty friends his size, and of course, he’s all about human friends too!

If you’re looking for a loving companion who’s ready to melt your heart, Spore’s your guy! He can’t wait to start this new chapter with you.

Organ Donors Needed: A Match Made in Heaven

💘 This Valentine’s season, give your heart to a good cause—and become the perfect match! 💘

In honor of National Donor Day (February 14th), we’re calling for Organ Donors—but not the kind you’re thinking of! Instead of hearts, kidneys, or livers, we need you to donate to save the lives of animals—and help us open our clinic.

Every dollar raised will go toward funding the septic tank and driveway, which are crucial for opening our clinic and helping thousands of pets in need. Thanks to a generous matching donor, every dollar you give will be DOUBLED up to $5,000—that means twice the heart and twice the impact!

⏳ Hurry—this life-saving campaign ends at midnight on National Donor Day, February 14th!

💖 How You Can Be an Organ Donor for Animals:
Here’s your chance to give from the heart (literally and figuratively) and save lives—without ever going under the knife!

💘 $25 = Lend your heart to paving the way for animal care
💌 $50 = A kidney for our clinic—helping pets thrive
💘 $100 = Filling the lungs of the clinic—breathing life into future services
🏆 $500+ = Become an official organ donor—your name will be stitched on the stuffed organs inside our teaching animals (cat and dog). You’ll also be entered to name one of them—because every donor deserves a little love back!

💓 Why You’re the Perfect Match
On National Donor Day, we honor organ donors for giving life to others. This Valentine’s Day, you can show your love by becoming an organ donor for animals in need—no surgery required! You’ll help lay the foundation for our clinic and fill the organs of our stuffed animals, which teach kids the importance of spay and neuter.

💘 Give your heart, and we’ll take care of the rest. From filling their hearts and kidneys to paving the way for our clinic to open, you’re giving more than a donation—you’re giving life.

💖 Donate today—before the deadline on February 14th at midnight! Together, we’ll pave the way for love, education, and life-saving care. Your donation is the organ we need to make it all happen!

Heartbreaking Update on Dandy (Formerly Malo).

It is with heavy hearts that we share the loss of sweet Dandy. He passed away this morning from wet form FIP at just 11 months old, surrounded by the love of his family. His parents are heartbroken, along with everyone here at A HOPE. Dandy's journey was filled with challenges from the very beginning—he was part of the 21 Persian rescue case—but despite it all, he was able to find a truly phenomenal family who gave him the unconditional love he deserved.

Our deepest condolences go out to his family during this incredibly difficult time.

Here are some words from Dandy's mom:
"Thank you for trying to help solve his illness and supporting us along the way. Thank you for what you do everyday for all the animals you have saved. You guys saving him is what brought him into my life. The loss I feel is so profound and that goes to show how deeply of an impact Dandy had on my heart in such a short amount of time. He was my special baby boy and there will never be another like him. I’m not able to do anything but cry. I wish we would’ve known it was FIP sooner. I miss my baby so much."

Urgent Help Needed for Dandy (formerly Malo) 💔

We have a heartbreaking update to share about Dandy, a sweet Persian kitty who was adopted from us last year. His owners reached out to us after Dandy suddenly lost the ability to lift his head, going completely limp and unable to move. They rushed him to the vet and a neurologist for testing, including an MRI and spinal tap. The results revealed that Dandy has a form of FIP.

Dandy’s owners are doing everything they can to get him the care he urgently needs, but they can’t do it alone. This is a critical time, and any support you can offer would make a huge difference in his recovery.

If you would like to donate to help Dandy, please follow the link below:

ADOPTION UPDATE for LINCOLN (Previously GRU)!! 💕✨

In September 2023, Lincoln was found after wandering up to a kind stranger, meowing for help. Unable to care for him, the compassionate person reached out to us to get Lincoln the care he needed. After spending just under a month with us, Lincoln found his forever family, where he’s been happily thriving ever since!

Check out the update his mom sent us below!

“Just wanted to share some updated pictures of ‘Gru,’ he is Lincoln now. We’ve had him a bit over a year, and we love him so much! He and our orange tabby have bonded.”

Do you have an update on a family pet you adopted from us? Please send us a message via this page to share some photos and tell us how they're doing. We LOVE updates.❤️
