Meet lil bit! She's a wildie unfortunately she's has something happen to her during her short life the vets are unsure if it was a birth defect or trauma but shes mostly paralyzed in her back legs. The vet does believe with lots of physical therapy and an operation she will regain functionality of her hind legs. While she's not available for adoption as we are hoping she will eventually be a release ( if not she will have sanctuary) this will be a lengthy process. And expensive we are asking for donations to help in this process. If you donate just put lil bit in the note section!

Alright guys we are pulling the community together again. So we've had a few various calls with some that need help with their pets some just need food others need medical care. We are starting a fund just for that. But as of right now we are in need of donations ourselves. Between vet bills and items needed it's a lot! Please consider donating! Also meet coco he's our resident slinky kitty. We accept Venmo cash app chime PayPal and even checks (checks have to be made out a certain way) we also have an Amazon wishlist!

Just rescued the spiciest black kitty unsure of gender atm. Appears to have a broken leg. Will be heading to the vet soon! If anyone wishes to donate to the care of this kitty please label donations as spicy as that is the nickname we have given it. We have posted on the lost and found pages and websites as well as local shelters In case this baby does have an owner until then we will make sure it gets all medical help necessary. Please consider donating thru PayPal chime cash app or Venmo!

Update on Chip and Dale! They leave the vets soon! Both responded greatly to treatment! They still have a long road ahead of them but are doing much better! They will continue to get long term treatment and vet visits. But they are safe and feeling much better. We are still needing donors or sponsorships for them! Please consider helping out these 2 beautiful boys!

Update on chip and dale! Chip is progressing very well to treatment dale as well but on a slower rate. We are still waiting on blood work results. But as of right now they are being treated for internal parasites, bumble foot, URI as well as skin treatment. They both are very under weight. But the vet has put them on a good course. Both will be staying with the vet for at least a few more days. As they have to have special breathing treatments and round clock care. They are no longer dehydrated! We are very hopeful for these 2 tough boys! We are still accepting donations and sponsors for them! East Tennessee Give A Heart Rat (& small animal ) Rescue
