๐Ÿ’šTHIS is recuse๐Ÿ’š
โš ๏ธDescriptions of abuseโš ๏ธ
Our Zoa. After weeks of 24/7 monitoring our girl is thriving.

Zoaโ€™s first few weeks of life were saturated with abuse. At the hands of a human; Zoaโ€™s tail was pulled, ripped and mutilated. But that wasnโ€™t enough- the humans then stepped on her with their feet and crushed her. They THEN proceeded to throw her out of a moving vehicle in the freezing snow; leaving her with a broken arm.

Zoa fought for her life with me for days. I genuinely thought I was going to lose her. But our little girl defied every odd.

Kitten season is among us. SO many more kittens like Zoa will be suffering. This year wants to be able to open its doors to all of these cases. But we NEED donations. If you can donate, even $1, we would be incredibly grateful. Thank you always๐Ÿ’š

โ€ผ๏ธ IT WAS JUST BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THERE IS A VENMO IMPERSONATING OUR RESCUE, AND EVEN USING OUR LOGO! THEY ARE SENDING REQUESTS FOR MONEY TO PEOPLE, AND EVEN CLAIMING TO BE PLANNING A FUNERAL FOR REIGN! โ€ผ๏ธ

We will NEVER request money from anyone!!!

โœ… Our real venmo is . The direct link is also in our bio.

โŒ The fake venmo is . They removed the "ed" from "Headed", making it incredibly easy to overlook.

We have already reported it, but please feel free to report as well!!

THIS IS SICKENING. We are in the midst of mourning the loss of Reign, and dedicating every moment to caring for the other 13. The last thing we have is the time or energy for is to file reports and warn our amazing supporters of this fraud.

How DARE someone take advantage of both the suffering of innocent animals and the generosity of supporters. I hope whoever this is gets every bit of karma coming to them, and I hope they never see another innocent creature again rather than the person that abused these kittens to begin with!!

What is wrong with humanity?!

Yesterday, we also had to say our goodbyes to handsome Tofu ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ•Š

Tofu came to us last October after he was found wandering the city streets. He was also the victim of trauma, neglect, and abuse. When he was found his tail was paralyzed and he was caked in his own urine and f***s. We dont know when or how, but he also suffered a tail pull/ spinal injury, ironically similar to the 14 kittens we are currently caring for.

Tofu spent weeks hospitalized between Genesee Valley and Orchard Park neurology. It took months of intense around the clock nursing care, but despite all of the odds and predictions, he made a full neurological recovery and regained continence of bowel and bladder. He was also fortunate enough to find his furever home with his foster momma, Patty.

Tofu made such an amazing recovery, we were all over the moon that this sweet and handsome boy would get to know a long life full of love. Unfortunately, the universe had other plans. Tofu suddenly declined with a high fever, stopped eating and drinking, and collapsed at home. He was rushed to the vet, and we all prayed for another miracle. He and his momma fought so hard to get him to this point. There was no way it was over. He was trying so hard to get up, walk, and eat.

Despite every hope and prayer, Tofu was diagnosed with a very large, invasive, and fast growing tumor on his jaw/neck. It was so aggressive there was nothing that could be done. After everything he went through, the kindest thing to do was hold him and love him as he was released from a life that was so unfairly cruel to the most loving and gentle boy.

Rescue can be so overwhelmingly defeating some days. Our hearts are broken for Tofu and Patty. There is no worse pain that fighting tooth and nail to save a life, experiencing the joy of succeeding, and then having that life snatched away so unexpectedly. We are forever thankful that he was given 4 extra months of love cuddles, good snacks, and fluffy beds that he never would have known after being discarded on the streets. He deserved a lifetime more.

Run free sweet Tofu, you were one of the strongest willed and most loving creatures. We would've given anything for just a little bit more time. ๐Ÿพ

We took in a group of kittens dumped outside a kind woman's home. The abuse they suffered before their abandonment is gut wrenching, please proceed with caution.

Eight of the kittens have severely broken and deformed tails. The others have mild deformities, but none are "normal". Some are also limping. It appears their tails were snapped, bent, and twisted. One kitten's tail curls under him, causing it to get soiled in the litterbox, and will likely need amputation for sanitary ressons. All are covered in urine and f***s, with numerous wounds and raw skin from urine scald.

The number and severity of these injuries suggest intentional harm. This is a conglomeration of 5 different litters, and the location and degree of the breaks makes genetic defects or accidental injury impossible.

The most severe case is Jocko, pictured first, who appears to have a broken spine and severe re**al issues (3rd picture). He is able to walk, but has incontinence of bowel.

All the kittens are emaciated and infested with fleas, causing significant anemia. They also battle severe upper respiratory infections and gastrointestinal issues due to parasites, and are leaking putrid diarrhea with every step. The youngest litters are particularly fragile and the most critical, with some experiencing life-threatening conditions like hypoglycemia and pneumonia. We've been monitoring them closely and providing immediate care, and all are showing significant improvements.

These kittens need extensive medical attention, including diagnostic imaging, potential surgeries, antibiotics, eye drops, and medications for parasite treatment to aid their recovery. They have all began receiving care, and there will be loads more appointments starting Monday.

We had no idea going into this we would be facing extensive medical care for over a dozen kittens. All we knew was after hundreds of calls to other shelters and rescues we were their last hope. They have suffered so senselessly at the hands of humans. At this time we desperately need help financially to get them the veterinary care they urgently need, as well as the food and supplies to give them the best hope at recovery.

Donations in any amount would be appreciated beyond measure.

Our page has been unusually quiet lately, as weโ€™ve been focused on renovations for our adoption center and facing a decline in donations. Over the past three months, weโ€™ve spent over $25,000 on major medical cases alone to help our furry friends heal and find their forever homes. We rely exclusively on donations, and haven't been able to confidently take on anything additional.

This week, we received a heartbreaking request to help over a dozen sick kittens. We simply couldnโ€™t say no, especially when we learned that someone was willing to drive four hours to bring them to us after being turned away by all local shelters. These precious babies are suffering from severe medical issues, including emaciation, flea anemia, and upper respiratory/eye infections. They are only 4-8 weeks old and have never experienced love or care. Many of them are caked in their own urine and f***s and smell horribly of cigarette smoke. The flea infestation is so severe, their fur is being stained red from the blood when they are bathed. They are nothing but bags of bones with skin and fur.

Among them, the three in the video are the sickest and most critical. Sarah has been caring for them around the clock as they struggle to maintain their own body temperature and blood sugar. Shortly after arrival, one little girl came incredibly close to passing away. Her blood glucose plumeted to a level that only read "low," meaning less than 20. We have never seen such hypoglycemia that was unreadable before. She went from up and alert to unresponsive and seizing within minutes. Thankfully, we have the necessary supplies and medications on hand to quickly raise her blood sugar. Hypoglycemia is a medical emergency, and they will not survive the drive to an emergency vet without immediate intervention right then. Thankfully, she is now up and eating on her own! She is being monitored 24/7 to ensure this does not happen again. Had she waited a few more hours to reach us, she would not have survived.

It will be a long road of continuous care, but as of now, all of the babies are showing improvement. They deserve a chance at a long, happy life, and we need your support now more than ever. Please consider making a donation to help us provide the medical care and love these kittens desperately need. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a significant difference in their journey to recovery.

Thank you for being part of our community and for helping us save lives! โค๏ธ
