For The Love Of Alex Inc. provides emergency funding for life-saving veterinary care of low-income families.
Umusa The Cat
DO YOU REMEMBER UMUSA, THE NEW YORK KITTY? πββ¬
We helped Umusa last year with his allergies; he had lost hair on the back of his ears, had scabs on his head and body from scratching himself, and was losing his whiskers. We helped pay for an exam, and Umusa was treated by his veterinarian with allergy medications; however, the medicines did little to relieve his itchiness.
Hawkeye The Cat
Handsome Hawkeye, a South Carolina kitty, was rescued from the streets as a tiny kitten during zero temperatures. His mother and siblings had perished, but a kind lady found him and took him in. Hawkeye has flourished in his furever home; however, recently, his mom noticed that he was drooling and having trouble eating.
Melobrown The Cat
THE EMERGENCY FUND HELPED MELOBOWN! Melo, a sweet 5-year-old Nebraska kitty, was diagnosed with Stomatitis, and he needed surgery to extract all of his teeth. Melo's veterinarian estimated the cost to be around $2500.00. Melo's mom is a single parent; she makes a small income that barely covers the bills, and she could not afford Meloβs surgery.
Corvo The Cat
Corvo, the Minnesota kitty, has been severely injured. Corvoβs dad is a disabled US veteran who relies on a mobility scooter to get around. Corvo snuck underneath his dad and was accidentally run over, injuring his foot. When Corvo struggled to get free, he dislocated his hip.
Wawa The Cat
This poor little kitty was maimed and desperately needs our help! Wawaβs mom took in an unaltered female kitty from a friend. She is low-income and could not afford to get Wawa spayed right away. Last month, she obtained a spay/neuter voucher from her local humane society, and Wawa was fixed.
Smokey The Cat
Smokey, an abandoned Oregon kitty, was rescued by his forever dad after being viciously attacked by a raccoon. Smokey had some open wounds that were infected and was treated by a veterinarian who also diagnosed him with an eye condition called Entropion. This condition causes his eyelids to turn inwards, irritating the cornea, and can lead to blindness if left untreated.
Gilmour The Cat
Gilmour, the handsome kitty from Oregon, is unwell. He has been experiencing runny stools, lethargy, and a lack of appetite for a few days, causing concern for his elderly parents. Despite their financial difficulties, they managed to take Gilmour to the veterinary clinic for an examination.
Fortune The Cat
FORTUNE'S STORY IS TRULY HEARTBREAKING π, but knowing he has found a loving home after such a difficult start in life is heartwarming. Fortune was rescued from an unsafe household; he had been severely neglected, and due to lack of proper nutrition, he developed a painful oral disease.
Ichi The Cat
Meet Ichi, the beloved Iowa kitty who is feeling very unwell. He's lethargic, barely eating, and struggling to move around. His condition has worsened over just a few weeks, and it's heartbreaking for his mom to see him suffer.
Gordon The Dog
Little Gordon, the Kentucky pup, suddenly stopped eating and has been throwing up for three days. His mom noticed he wasnβt his usual spunky self and took him to the veterinary clinic. Diagnostic x-rays showed Gordon has a foreign object in his small intestines that has caused a blockage. Gordon needs surgery ASAP!
Socks The Cat
Socks, the beautiful Oregon kitty, is not feeling well; sheβs lethargic, and her dad recently noticed she wasnβt using the litter box as often as she should. And when Socks does urinate, it smells terrible and is brown in color.
Mochi The Cat
Mochi, a sweet Texas kitty, has a painful polyp growing in her ear canal, causing recurring ear infections. Mochiβs veterinarian can remove the polyp; however, there is no guarantee that it will not grow back. Mochiβs veterinarian has recommended Ventral Bulla Osteotomy surgery, an invasive procedure to ensure the polyp doesnβt grow back.
Max The Dog
URGENT! A freakish accident has left this little Lancaster, Pennsylvania, pup with a broken front leg. Max was zooming around the house, jumping on and off the couch, when suddenly he fell and landed awkwardly. His mom heard him yelp in pain and found Max holding his leg up.
Charlie The Cat
Charlie, a Utah kitty, needs oral surgery. Her periodontal disease is so bad she is unable to eat correctly; she has lost weight and is in pain. Her abscessed tooth has caused her eye to swell!
Liam The Cat
Liam, a Minnesota kitty, has been pawing at his face, and blood is coming out of his mouth. The right side of Liamβs mouth is swollen, and he is in pain. Liam is currently on antibiotics and pain medication but needs dental surgery ASAP!
Max The Cat
Max has been diagnosed with an Aural Hematoma. He needs surgery to alleviate the pain. The hematoma is causing Maxβs ear to droop because itβs so heavy! Unfortunately, his mom is low-income and cannot afford his surgery cost.
Onyx The Cat
Onyx, a beautiful New York kitty, needed medical care immediately! Onyx was extremely lethargic and wasnβt eating and drinking. Onyxβs mom contacted us and asked if we could help. We used funds from the Emergency Fund to get Onyx to a veterinary clinic.
Cream The Cat
Cream was diagnosed with femoral head necrosis, a degenerative disease that is robbing him of a good quality of life. Cream's hip bone is decaying, and he needs hip replacement surgery.
Jordie The Cat
Jordie has suffered three back-to-back life-threatening urinary blockages due to a smaller-than-normal bladder. Jordie needs an expensive surgical procedure to enlarge his urethra to prevent another emergency surgery.
Luna The Dog
Luna, the Arizona puppy, was playing in her fenced backyard when two stray dogs broke in and viciously attacked her. The injury to her front left leg is so severe that it caused irreversible nerve damage.
