Carlsbad Cares Animal Rescue and Sanctuary

Hi, this is Kitty Stuart, president of Carlsbad Cares Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, writing to you today about our very special little feral kitty, Snow White.

Little Snow White was brought to us by a kind person who cares about feral kitties. She was concerned because something awful had happened to her eye, and she was due to have babies any day.

We went right into action to help her.

Upon looking as close as we dared, we saw that she had a bad infection in one eye and some trauma to her other eye.

We have consulted with our vets at Dr. Weldon's here in Carlsbad, and they have confirmed that she will need to have her eye removed as soon as the kittens are weaned, which will be very soon.

Speaking of kittens, just a day after she came to us, she delivered four beautiful babies.

She is a wonderful mother who puts her babies first even though she is having a hard time with her eye.

It’s so touching to watch her cuddle her babies and to see how happy she is being a mom. She has so much love to give even though life has been hard on her.

The babies are fat and sassy and already have cute personalities.

Snow White is a very special little feral who is learning to trust us while we clean and medicate her eye several times daily until the vet can do surgery on her.

She purrs when we pet her, and she lets us love on her babies as well.

We have fallen in love with her. We will make sure she is spayed and that she is well taken care of after she is well again.

We will work with our local shelter to get her babies vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and placed in loving forever homes when they are ready.

We want to do everything possible to get Snow White pain-free and well again, but we need your help with the cost of her eye surgery, follow-up, and meds.

As you know, this kind of surgery can be very costly. Can you please help her?

No amount is too small.

Snow White, her babies, myself, and Carlsbad Cares Animal Sanctuary appreciate your help.

Anything we raise over the cost of her care will be used to help other needy animals at our rescue.

Without you, none of what we have done would be possible. We appreciate you all so much.

Thanks so much for helping this kitty.

Please share.

This sweet little cat showed up begging for help. He was badly injured and in desperate need of help. His leg is fractured, and the skin is completely torn away, exposing the muscle underneath. He is in a lot of pain, and without immediate veterinary care, he may lose his leg — or worse. The pictures don't show just how horrific the leg wound is. Out of respect for you, we have not included those photos.

Despite his injuries, he has been so gentle and trusting. He purrs when we pet him and the good news is he’s eating and drinking well. He deserves the chance to live a happy, healthy life without suffering in a loving home. Right now, the only thing standing in the way of his recovery is the cost of major medical care.

The funds raised will go directly toward:

Emergency veterinary exam and X-rays

Major medical care

Pain management and wound care

Follow-up treatment, medications, and recovery support

Every single donation, no matter the size, will make a huge difference. If you aren’t able to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help spread the word. Your donation is fully tax deductible.

This little one has already been through so much on the streets. With your support, he can finally have the chance at the safe, loving life he deserves.

Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion..
