BURNED CAT UPDATE: Warning - Graphic Content
โผ๏ธ BURNED CAT UPDATE โผ๏ธ Warning โ Graphic Content Below
A young cat has arrived at our Sam Swope Pet Treatment & Lifesaving Center fighting for his life after suffering horrific burns all over his body. Our veterinary team sedated him so they could shave him and further evaluate his injuries, and what they found is simply horrific.
We believe this cat was set on fire and abandoned to fend for himself. His wounds are deep and seem to โdripโ down his body, indicating a flammable liquid was poured over him. Despite what he suffered at the hands of humans, this kitty has been sweet and loving towards our staff. He will remain under close observation until his condition stabilizes, but our team is dedicated to providing him with the safety, comfort and love he deserves. Please keep this poor cat in your thoughts and donate via Facebook or online at kyhumane.org/donate to support lifesaving medical care for animals just like him. Thank you!
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT BELOW
A young cat has arrived at our Sam Swope Pet Treatment & Lifesaving Center fighting for his life after suffering horrific burns all over his body. His wounds are deep and infected, putting him at risk of sepsis. Our veterinary team will need to sedate this poor kitty in order to shave his fur and further evaluate the severity of his injuries, but for now he is being given pain medication and antibiotics to keep him comfortable. We will update you later today on this catโs condition, but in the meantime please donate at kyhumane.org/donate to support emergency medical care for our communityโs most vulnerable animals. Thank you.

KHS 2023 Year in Review
As the year comes to a close, we'd like to take a look back at some of the remarkable animals saved by our Tender Loving Care fund this year and say "THANK YOU" to our compassionate supporters. Every animal shown here received lifesaving medical care, support and love at KHS thanks to people like YOU, and we aim to save even more lives in the new year with your continued support!
Thereโs still time to make TRIPLE the impact thanks to Petco Love. We have received a $35,000 lifesaving investment from Petco Love, which will be used to triple match ALL donations made before MIDNIGHT TOMORROW. That means your year-end gift will TRIPLE, impacting three times as many vulnerable animals in our community and beyond. Visit kyhumane.org/donate today - even small gifts make a BIG difference! #PetcoLovePartner

HELP WILEY HEAL!
HELP WILEY HEAL: Earlier today we introduced you to Wiley, the four-month-old Great Pyrenees puppy who was viciously attacked by a coyote. Thanks to supporters like you, this brave boy is now at KHS getting the care he urgently needed. In this video, Dr. Bewley explains Wileyโs injuries and treatment plan as she preps him for surgery to close the wounds on his chin and eye to allow them to properly heal, in hopes of preventing him from needing another surgery, though we know there is still a risk that his eye may need to be removed.
On this #GivingTuesday, know that your gift ensures vulnerable animals like Wiley get the compassionate care they need and deserve. Please donate via Facebook or online at kyhumane.org/donate, and your gift will DOUBLE to impact TWICE as many cats, dogs and horses in our community.
