National Feed A Rescue Pet Week! ๐
July 14-20
Help us celebrate National Feed a Rescue Pet Week!
As of January 2024, the cost of pet food had risen by 28.4% compared to January 2021, and an even more striking 30.7% from January 2019. This persistent high level of producer prices directly impacts retail prices, making prescription pet food increasingly too expensive for low-income pet parents. ๐
In 2023, we paid $4,616.38 to Chewy our prescription food provider. The food is delivered directly to these kittiesโ furever homes to ensure they get the nutrition they need.
Miko, Max and Kilo had life-threatening urinary blockages and Khaleesi is diabetic.
A donation today will help us continue to feed these beautiful furbabies their much-needed prescription diet to manage their medical conditions.

We had helped Max back in February 2023; Max had escaped outside, and when he returned, his jaw was broken and needed surgery immediately. We helped Max, and he had surgery and fully recovered. However, Max's mom made a frantic call to us in June. She had noticed that Max was constantly going in and out of the litter box but was not urinating. She was worried he had a urinary blockage and did not know what to do.
