Charlie has had his surgery yesterday and it went very well. Today he is bright and alert. He has eaten and urinated - so things are looking very positive for him.

Thank you to everyone who cared about Charlie. He is much loved - and it is a wonderful way to start the year by doing something so positive for a little cat who was so ill.

Hope you have a gorgeous weekend. x

It's going to be super hot today - let's hope the animals will have water and shade to cool off. Gus (pic) insists on it.....

It's $5 Friday but we are okay for funds this week. Thanks to a very special lady Lorraine who donated $1000 for Charlie's surgery - which is happening today.

So thank you to those who already automatically donate.

I know New Beginnings Animal Rescue Inc. is raising money for two very special little souls needing urgent help.

Or there will be others out there who need your kind donation.

Happy Friday. x

Our first client of the new year is Charlie, a 5 year old cat.

Yes - a cat.

I had a phone call yesterday from a vet clinic we help occasionally
who have clients that often struggle caring for their pets.

One such client, who has a disability is Charlie's owner. Charlie is very much loved and cared for, and last year in September we helped him have a procedure to unblock his bladder.

It is life threatening and needed to be performed where a catheter is inserted into the urethra to unblock the plug. This is the third time for Charlie. It is extremely painful and is always done under sedation but Charlie has presented again, and he now requires special surgery where they cut certain parts of the bladder and widen the tube leading to the bladder.

Otherwise he was going to be euthanised on humane grounds.

The surgery is not cheap. Around $2400, or maybe a bit more.

We have taken very few dogs in the past few weeks. And you have still been kindly donating to us. We have the amount in the bank - and so with your blessing - we are going to 'pay it forward' and save Charlie's life.

The Committee agreed yesterday and tomorrow Charlie will be admitted into the clinic and Friday he will have his surgery, stay overnight and all being okay - will go home on Saturday morning.

I think one of the strengths RWL has is being able to do this. We have been around a long time, and we are careful to balance our books, and only ask for help when we need it.

We are okay for this week. And so Charlie will have a chance.

It's a good way to start the year. To save a life. To give with compassion. And to work as a village. Thank you SO much everyone, we love that you trust us and we hope that this is very much okay with you for us to go ahead and pay to save Charlie.

I will update you when I hear more.

Thank you to everyone who has supported is in every way this year. You don't know how grateful we are - and when the chips are down you are always there for such encouragement, it makes things so much better.

I'm not sure if we will achieve World Peace, or a better place to live in in 2025 - but we should always have hope.

A better place for animals is always worth the fight though.

What are you hoping and wishing for?

On behalf of everyone at Rescued With Love, we wish you a safe, happy and wonderful New Year.

Lots of love,
The RWL Team.

There is no chance that anyone gets to sleep in in our home.

There is a thump, another thump, a couple of thumps and that is The Power stretching her legs out of her pod (she sleeps in a furry pod like a joey) on the floor beside the bed.

We get a little high pitched breath noise.

And that's when it starts.

"Grizzle" - a one word moniker like "Madonna" or "Bono" or "Rhianna" starts to do her very best grizzling noise - and it can go on for as long as Pavarotti can hit a high note.

Muttering "shut up Grizzle" only encourages her - knowing she has woken her quarry (husband and I) and she is prepared to come back and do a second concert, with a couple of encores.....

Thump, Thump (like a base guitar) grizzle, grizzle, thump, grizzle, grizzle thump, long grizzle.....it does not stop until I fling the covers back and swing my legs over the edge of the bed.

There she is, swaying to her own music like a weird Taylor Swift, all legs, head on the side, doing some sort of Kath and Kim Riverdance move with her front legs.

It's cute for the first 200 times......

Everyone is up, the doors are open, and I express Quinn's bladder and bowel and change her nappy - then get the medication for Kween and Harry - and by the time my eyes have opened I see Grizzle standing at the end of the hallway rug......waiting....like Dame Edna ready to hit the stage from the wings.....

I pick her up and the complete smugness is overwhelming. Eyes slitty shut, ears back, head bobbing, no neck - we go in to the bedroom and open the shutters and look out together.

Are you happy now?

The head is bobbing, the tongue is out, and I'm fairly sure she has done her duty for the day.

Honestly this dog......she's a pistol.

Update on little Spencer. As you know he is going on 5 years and is in congestive heart failure. He has a very slow walk every second day, just a short one, a sniffathon, because he hates the pram.

His resting heart rate when asleep is good, under 30, but his cough is increasing - our vets are aware, it could be the size of his enormous heart pushing on his trachea - as he is already on meds for fluid around the heart.

Spencer is such a darling - and we know he won't have a long life, but he has a good life and a loved life and that is the very best he can have.

Go Spencer.

Is that the Elf on the Shelf? No. It's our own ex RWL baby W***y Wonka!

Wishing you all a wonderful Saturday. x

We are so saddened to hear ex RWL boy Leo passed away this week. He was 15 and a half - and was adopted from us over 13 years ago.

Darling Leo had a beautiful life and we are thinking of his Mum Georgina and family at this very sad time.

Vale Leo.

ex RWL girl Ivy has had a very lovely Christmas - isn't she just gorgeous?

It's Friday and we thought we would help out some friends in need - we are okay this week. Please, if you feel you can, there are some very special little ones needing help with New Beginnings Animal Rescue Inc. And we as a village can assist.

Happy Friday everyone. x

♥️This Boxing Day, instead of buying something you don’t really need, why not give the gift of hope to a dog in desperate need?

At New Beginnings Animal Rescue, we have several special needs dogs in our care who require life-changing treatments in the new year—things like MRIs and complex orthopaedic surgeries. These aren’t luxuries; they’re essential to giving these dogs the healthy, happy futures they deserve.

With almost 40,000 amazing followers on Facebook and 1,800 on Instagram, imagine the impact we could make if every single one of you donated just $10. That’s less than the cost of a take-away lunch while shopping the sales—and together, it would raise over $400,000!

💖 Every dollar goes directly to helping dogs like these, dogs who have endured so much and rely on us for their New Beginning.

👉 Skip the unnecessary purchase and be part of something extraordinary. Donate today and help us change their lives:

paypal.com/au/fundraiser/charity/3569206

Or bank transfer:

Bsb 033 380
Acc 384173

Because real change doesn’t come in a shopping bag—it comes from compassion and love. 💕

And so it is Christmas Eve.

Looking back on the year it has been as busy as always - and a huge thank you must go to the Foster Families who have cared for those who have come through our doors.

To our Vets we use, and their staff - we couldn't do this without you.

And to you - our loveliest supporters and village - well you keep allowing us to do what we do - help animals in need......

So please have a safe and wonderful Christmas. Enjoy and have fun.

Love from all of us at RWL ###
