URGENT HELP NEEDED TONIGHT!

This loving three-year-old tabby is Simba. He is pictured above with his "brother" and best friend, Jose. Jose lives in Salinas with his parents and two younger siblings. His mom is a labor worker with an agriculture company and his dad is a loader for sheet metal company here in Monterey County. "Simba is part of our family," said Jose.

Jose explained he rescued Simba three years ago, when he was likely only a week old. He had walked to the store and seen him in the streets on the way. On his way home, Simba, was still there alone so he decided to bring him into their family. "I love him so much but I think for some reason he loves my dad the most," joked Jose. "He is such a caring cat."

When Simba started vomiting, Jose knew something was wrong. His abdomen was painful so he rushed him to the local vet.

Simba has been diagnosed with a foreign body, an object stuck in his intestinal tract causing his pain and vomiting.

We need to raise a minimum of $4000 to help Simba by tomorrow to save his life.

Help us, help Simba, Jose and the next pet family in need.

Donate now at www.maxshelpingpaws.org/donate with "Simba" listed as the Honoree.

Rebel doesn’t live an ordinary life. But like all the pets we help, she is very loved. Her family lives a transient lifestyle in Monterey County and as they told Max’s, “Rebel isn’t a pet, she is our daughter”. Life is different everyday as they continue to apply for jobs and seek assistance including shelter through the Salvation Army. One evening, while Rebel was out to go to the bathroom, she was tragically hit by a car. Her parents were distraught and felt helpless. Upon reaching the hospital, they were referred to Max’s Helping Paws. Given multiple circumstances, their application was quickly reviewed and they were approved for help. Rebel was injured but would be okay.

Without Max’s Helping Paws, it is unclear where Rebel would be now, likely the shelter tearing this family apart, or worse. Thanks to the Doris Day Animal Foundation (DDAF) and the support of our Special Supplemental Program, Rebel was treated and is on the mend. We wish the best for Rebel and her family.

When our pets are sick or just not right, as owners- well, parents, it is stressful, worrisome and can cause a rollercoaster of emotions. This is what happened for Laurie and her family when their dog, Kali, started seeming “off”. Kali is a smooth coat chihuahua and nearly 14-years-old! Her family resides in Salinas, CA and they receive several different avenues of financial aid to make ends meet.

Laurie knew it was time to have Kali seen. She had been continually losing weight and was uncomfortable and restless. Unfortunately, she feared the cost would be something they could not handle. Her veterinarian informed her of Max’s Helping Paws.

Max’s provides financial lifelines for pets in crisis. A crisis can be many different things, in this case, Kali’s illness was unknown. Her family applied and made an appointment.

Luckily, nothing to serious was found and Kali was sent home with some medications and is already feeling better. Thanks to our grantors at The Grey Muzzle Organization, Kali and her family were provided help with treatment and are relieved to have their girl home safe and healthy.

Not all patients we help are in a life-or-death situation. However for our super seniors, if something is wrong- it is important to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. We are grateful have support from Grey Muzzle and to have helped Kali.

Kona's owner, Taylor, a single mother of three young children under the age of six, is no stranger to challenges. As a loving mom and dedicated pet owner, she has always done everything she can to provide for her family. Taylor found Kona as a stray when she was just four months old, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Tragedy struck when Kona was hit by a car, leaving her helpless in the street and yelping in pain. After rushing Kona to the emergency veterinary hospital, Taylor received the devastating news that Kona needed surgery to repair her hip. However, due to her financial situation, Taylor could not afford the immediate surgery. The veterinarian stabilized Kona, allowing Taylor to take her home, but Kona remained in immense pain and unable to walk. Taylor was already struggling to make ends meet, she feared the worst for her baby, Kona. It was then, she learned of Max's Helping Paws.

Max's Helping Paws Foundation exists for families like Taylor’s—those who would do anything for their pets but are constrained by financial hardship. Our mission is to provide financial assistance to pet owners who are faced with emergencies, ensuring that beloved pets like Kona receive the lifesaving care they need.

In a 48-hour window, we received four applications for separate hit-by-car accidents involving pets. These situations of unexpected trauma and severe injuries are expensive, scary and the exact reason why we are here to help.

Your support has allowed Kona to get the surgery she needed. Please consider making a donation today to Max's Helping Paws. Your contribution will go directly toward helping families like Taylor’s and saving pets like Kona from pain and suffering. Every dollar makes a difference in these urgent situations.

Meet Bochy, a 9-year-old terrier mix, and his loving family. Bochy has been with them since before day one—literally. His mom, Ringo, was rescued from the side of the road and, soon after being taken in, surprised the family when they discovered Ringo was pregnant before they rescued her. Bochy was one of the puppies. For years, he’s been their “baby boy,” bringing joy and companionship.

Recently, Bochy became lethargic, and his appetite decreased. His family, putting every penny towards their son's college tuition, was distraught and unsure of how they could afford veterinary care for Bochy. After waiting as long as they could, they sought help when Bochy's condition worsened. He was diagnosed with a splenic mass and internal bleeding. The treatment was urgent, and the costs were overwhelming. They faced an impossible choice—financially stretching themselves further or euthanasia.

Fortunately, they applied and were awarded a financial lifeline from Max's Helping Paws. 🐶

We believe that no pet should suffer due to financial hardship. Through our mission, we provide critical care funding for pet families like Bochy's, allowing them to access life-saving treatments and avoid the unthinkable.

Bochy received surgery and is now on the road to recovery. But for many families, these stories continue. You can make a difference for pets in need and their families. Your support helps us ensure that pets like Bochy get the treatment they deserve.

A huge thank you to our grantors at The Grey Muzzle Organization for helping us keep senior dogs like Bochy, happy, healthy and home.

Together, we can make sure no pet suffers because of financial hardship. Donate now to help more pets like Bochy! 🙏🏼 maxshelpingpaws.org/donate
