We’re 65% of the way to our goal!

You might recognize these three cuddlebugs: Potato, Bernard, and Bianca. They’ve become little celebrities in this campaign — but if you’re just joining us, let us catch you up.

Potato was born with dwarfism, digestive issues, and a severe overbite jaw that gives him his signature squishy face. He’s come a long way, but he’s still battling a severe eye infection that’s threatening his vision. Our team is treating him hourly in hopes of saving the eye — and thanks to your support, he’s getting the best chance we can give.

Bianca and Bernard came in starving, with infected eyes crusted shut. Once they healed enough to open them, we discovered they were missing something critical: eyelids. These two will need surgery when they’re older — but for now, they’re thriving, playful, and deeply bonded.

Today, the three of them — survivors of very different beginnings — are snuggled up in a warm pile of safety and love. That’s what your donation makes possible.

We’re now 65% of the way to our goal to Save Their Spots — to make sure the next Potato, the next Bernard, the next Bianca always has a space to heal, grow, and be loved.

Let’s finish this together.

Let’s make sure there’s always a spot.

A lot can happen in 1,528 days.
That’s 51 months—just over four years.
Four Thanksgivings. Four birthdays. The span of a high school career.

But for Fancy, those 1,528 days represent the time she’s called Second Chance home. At 12 years old, that’s a third of her life spent waiting, healing, and hoping to be chosen.

Fancy was surrendered for a handful of reasons, including conflict with other cats in the home and swatting at people. But the full picture told us more.

She was morbidly obese, tipping the scales at 17 pounds, and clearly in chronic pain. She was uncomfortable, angry, and deeply mistrusting.

We didn’t see a problem cat. We saw a broken heart in a hurting body. So we gave her the two things she was without:

Time. And love with no strings attached.

We changed her diet, helped her shed nearly 8 pounds, and made room for her to heal—not just physically, but emotionally.

And she did.

Today, Fancy is healthy and strong. She has her preferences (like all calicos do), and she’ll absolutely let you know when she’s done with affection. But she also has this softer side… a side that clutches a blanket in her mouth like a kitten, kneading gently, comforting herself.

We’ve kept Fancy’s spot open for 1,528 days because we believe that every cat deserves to feel safe, for as long as it takes. No matter their age. No matter their past. No matter how long they wait.

Save Their Spots isn’t just about space. It’s about second chances—for the broken, the misunderstood, the ones who need more time than most. Fancy's spot gave her the room to heal. Your support keeps that spot open for the next cat who needs it.

🐾 Give today and add your paw to our growing Wall of Hope. 👉https://sheridancatrescue.networkforgood.com/projects/260831-save-their-spots-15-days-to-raise-15k

🐾 And if you’ve ever loved a spicy, senior soul who just needed someone to understand her — Fancy is waiting.

💗 1,528 days and counting. Let’s make sure her next chapter begins with love.

Our is Celeste! Celeste is a young black beauty with a heart of gold and a very special leg. She was born with radial agenesis, meaning she’s missing a bone in her front left leg. She walks with a bit of a limp, but it doesn’t hurt her—and it doesn’t slow her down either!

Over time, Celeste has started to come out of her shell. She no longer hides as much as she used to, but she still prefers if the other cats keep their distance. The shelter environment—with over 100 cats—is just a lot for her gentle spirit. She’d do best in a calm home, ideally with no other cats or maybe one or two mellow companions.

💗 What really makes Celeste shine is how much she loves people. Once she knows you, she’s all purrs and affection. She just needs a little peace and quiet—and someone to finally see her for the loving companion she is.

Celeste is spending the weekend at Petco - Sheridan Wyoming. Come meet her and give this sweet girl the second chance she deserves!

Some spots don’t just need to be saved. They need to be sustained.

When Lennon arrived at Second Chance in March, he was in rough shape. His fur was so matted it was glued to his skin, his diabetes was dangerously out of control, and he was scared and confused—clearly unsure what was happening or who to trust.

Thanks to our supporters, we had the resources to save his spot—and hold it for as long as he needed.

Now, several months (and a lot of insulin) later, Lennon is a completely different cat. This handsome gentleman enjoys cuddles (on his terms, of course), and has discovered he quite likes being admired. His glucose is stable, his coat is soft and sleek, and he’s finally feeling safe enough to show us who he is.

Because someone gave, Lennon didn’t just get a chance; he got a life worth living.

This is what your donation does.

It opens the door. It funds the follow-through. It lets us say yes to the hard cases, and keep showing up for them, day after day.

Our goal is to raise $15,000 in 15 days. 🐾 Every gift adds a paw print with your name or dedication to our Wall of Hope.

Let’s keep saving spots and holding them open as long as it takes. Donate at https://sheridancatrescue.networkforgood.com/projects/260831-save-their-spots-15-days-to-raise-15k

MATCH UPDATE: We’ve raised $940 of our $2,000 match — and there’s still time to double your donation! 💥

Huge thanks to Peter D’s RV Park for offering to match every gift today—dollar for dollar—up to $2,000.

Tonight’s update comes from Wish, who arrived with his best buddy Cruzer from another Wyoming shelter. These boys are bonded and inseparable—where one goes, the other follows—and they’re over the moon to have found their second chance together here at SCSCR.

Wish wants you to know: this spot you saved? It means everything.

Let’s finish strong tonight and unlock every last dollar of this match.

We’re just $1,060 away—and every donation still counts twice.

MATCH ALERT! 💥 All donations to our Save Their Spot campaign will be doubled up to $2,000 today thanks to Peter D’s RV Park!

Today, we want you to meet Bernard and Bianca — two tiny kittens whose spot was saved just in time.

When they arrived, they were emaciated, weak, and crusted with infection. Their eyes were sealed shut, and they were much smaller than they should’ve been for their age. After just a couple of days of love and treatment, their eyes began to clear. But that’s when we discovered something no one expected:

🩺 They were born without upper eyelids.

That means their eyes are unprotected—and without surgery, they’re at constant risk of damage every time they blink. Our vet team is doing everything they can to keep them comfortable until they’re big enough for corrective surgery. Until then, they’re on medication, monitoring, and constant TLC.

Bernard and Bianca are safe because we had room when they needed us.

But today, right now, there’s a kitten out there who still needs a spot.

Your gift will help us say yes again—and thanks to Peter D’s RV Park, it will go TWICE as far.

Look what you’ve built so far. 🐾

This is our Wall of Hope as of 3:30pm on Day 2, proudly filling up thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters. Each colored pawprint you see represents a gift—a spot that’s been saved, a life that’s been given a second chance.

We’re blown away by your support!

Every red paw means a new cat can come through our doors.

Every green paw helps us spay, neuter, and vaccinate incoming cats, making sure they start off safe and healthy.

Every yellow, blue, or purple paw means critical medical care is funded.

And every white paw? That’s someone saying, “I believe in this.”

You’re making this wall something truly special—and we can’t wait to watch it grow.

Let’s see how many new pawprints we can add before midnight! 👉 https://sheridancatrescue.networkforgood.com/projects/260831-save-their-spots-15-days-to-raise-15k

This is what a saved spot looks like.

Meet Jules.

Back in January, Jules was hit by a car. His skull and jaw were fractured, his pelvis broken. Then, his owners abandoned him at an animal shelter.

Thankfully, our friends at Waggin’ Tails in Torrington, WY, stepped in and helped him begin a long, painful recovery. During the early months, Jules was understandably terrified and aggressive—he had every reason to be. But with time and care, he started to heal.

And by the time he reached us just last week, he was already a full-blown snuggle bug.

Now, Jules lives for belly rubs, chin scratches, and canned food. He still has a ruptured eardrum that bothers him, but that doesn't stop his extra-loud purr from kicking into high gear whenever a staff member walks into the room.

Jules' life was saved because his spot was ready when he needed it.

Now it’s our job to make sure the next one is.

Yesterday you helped us raise just under $2,000 on Day 1 of our Save Their Spots campaign — an incredible start toward our $15,000 goal!

Every gift you give adds a paw print to our Wall of Hope and helps us say “yes” to the next cat who needs us.

Jules is safe. Let’s keep it going.

DAY 1 UPDATE: You saved $1,900 worth of spots so far today! 🐾

We kicked off Save Their Spots this morning, and thanks to your incredible support, we’ve already raised just under $1,900 toward our $15,000 goal! That’s a lot of pawprints on our Wall of Hope — and a lot of cats who will get the second chance they deserve.

So what does a saved spot look like?

Meet Potato, happily munching away after a tough start to life. He has dwarfism, a severe overbite, digestive issues, and lots of healing to do — but he’s safe, loved, and warm because someone like you helped save his spot.

Your gift today helps us say yes to the next cat who needs a place to land.
Let’s keep the momentum going tomorrow — and fill that wall with paws!

We can’t wait to show you our Wall of Hope tomorrow once we get all the Day 1 paws up — stay tuned!

Today we’re launching Save Their Spots: 15 Days to Raise $15K — a fundraising campaign to make sure there's always room for the next cat in need.

Meet Potato, the tiniest new arrival at Second Chance Sheridan Cat Rescue.
He has dwarfism, a severe overbite, digestive problems, an eye infection, and a staph infection on his skin… and yes, we lovingly call him our moldy potato. 🥔 But thanks to supporters like you, his spot was already saved.

Now we need your help to save the next one.

Over the next 15 days, every donation helps us provide food, care, and medical treatment for the cats already here — and opens a spot for the ones still waiting.

And here’s how you can be part of it:
🐾 Every donation adds a pawprint to our in-shelter Wall of Hope
🐾 You choose your pawprint color by your giving level
🐾 You’ll see your impact in real-time as we raise $15,000 by October 28!

Potato is safe because someone like you made it possible.
Let’s fill that wall with paws — and save their spots, one by one.

15 Days to Raise $15K Every day, we get calls about cats who need help — the injured, the abandoned, the ones no one else can take. But before we can say “yes,” we have to ask ourselves one heartbreaking question: Do we have a spot for them? At Second Chance Sheridan ...
