Responsible Pet Care of Oxford Hills, Inc.

Friends, we have another cat who desperately needs urgent medical care due to an unknown accident.

Lainey needs your help!

Lainey is a sweet, 17-week-old kitten from our coverage area who has had an accident that has caused a dislocated hip and a broken femur. How this happened is unknown but she's lucky she's alive. The estimate to remove the leg and get her on the mend is about $1500. We hope to get her surgery done as soon as possible.

Once again we must ask for your help. The current cat overpopulation crisis continues to drain our bank account. While the everyday costs of caring for the large numbers of cats is a huge expense, we don't want to say no the individual cats who need even more help, like Lainey. Every dollar donated will help us pay for Lainey's surgery. Donations make it possible to save the lives of the cats who need care beyond the ordinary, like Lainey. We can't pay for surgeries like these on our own.

Can you help us give Lainey the care she needs to save her life?

Lainey will be adoptable once she heals from the surgery.

Thank you so much for your support ❤❤

Help needed!

We are in the midst of taking in a large number of cats and kittens from a local hoarding situation. 11 cats/kittens today, and at least 15 more coming, though the exact number of cats in the home is unknown and the total may go higher. Many are kittens and we suspect that most of the older females are pregnant. All will need basic medical care, almost all will need to be spayed or neutered, and some will need illnesses treated. But THIS little guy, Odin, is only 8 weeks old and desperately needs surgery to remove his eyes. Can you help this sweet little boy get the surgery he needs so badly, and help us provide some of the care his housemates will need? There is no way to save his eyes. He must have the surgery if he is going to live, and if he is going to have a healthy and pain-free life. Not to mention that caring for this sudden influx of cats and kittens with so many needs is a shock to our already stretched budget.

And would you believe we have ANOTHER cat who urgently needs an eye removed? Cindy came to us as a stray and we've been hoping her eye could be saved, but the condition has become dire and her eye needs to be removed right away. Just the eye surgeries on the 2 cats will be close to $3000.

Could you please spare a few dollars to help these kitties who need your help desperately?

This very handsome puppy, Bruno, was surrendered to RPC because he has a luxating patella. At just 11 months old, he has been in extreme pain, affecting his behavior in his prior home. Luxating patella is a painful condition in which the kneecap slips out of position. The groove the kneecap glides in is too shallow, causing frequent dislocation. The condition is very painful and affected dogs will cry out in pain or show changes in their behavior and temperaments due to the pain they are in. And if left untreated, the chronic dislocation will lead to arthritis in the knee, loss of motion and persistent pain.

Luckily, surgery can cure Bruno and allow him to lead a normal and pain-free life. Like other orthopedic surgeries, it is a pricey procedure, but very necessary to eliminate the pain Bruno is enduring. The estimate for Bruno's surgery is close to $3,000 and once again we are asking for help so we can get this surgery done as quickly as possible.

Please consider donating any amount to Bruno's surgery. Every dollar helps!

Despite the pain he is in, Bruno is a very friendly, goofy and energetic Lab puppy. Bruno will be available for adoption after his surgery and necessary healing take place.

Doozey and his sibling were found as strays in Norway. Doozey is just a kitten, 3-4 months old. His eye was not healthy when he arrived and it quickly deteriorated to the point you see in the photo. Doozey has been in the hospital all day today and it will be a large bill for the shelter. Your donation will help us with this unexpected expense and the extra care required as he heals.

Mollie and Dehlia found their way to Responsible Pet Care a few days ago. These precious pups are in terrible condition, suffering from mange, skin infections, worms and poor nutrition. They immediately received vet care from a local vet and have started the road to recovery at RPC.

These girls are sweet and loving. They are much smaller than they should be at their age. Mollie is larger and stronger; Dehlia is the weaker and sicker of the two. They are both currently eating a prescription diet, to ensure they get much-needed nutrition to help their health and healing. This food is quite pricey but very necessary to give these girls every chance at recovery.

Each of the girls gets a medicated bath every day during which medicated shampoo needs to sit on their skin for 10 minutes before rinsing. Dehlia enjoys it; Mollie tolerates it.

Their skin has already begun to improve slightly but the girls have a long road ahead. It will be weeks before the worms are completely out of their systems, not to mention the mange and infections they are battling. We need to give them all the supportive care we can to help them become healthy. Will you help us with their vet bills and the important prescription food they currently need?
