Nino was found on the streets of Beirut dragging his two front legs. We didn’t know if he would survive—but this little fighter showed us he wants to live, and now we need to fight for him (WATCH).

Thanks to immediate care, one of his legs has regained mobility. But the other still needs physiotherapy and surgery so Nino can live pain-free and play like any kitten.

To get Nino fully back on his feet, we urgently need your help. His care is expected to exceed $3,000, including physiotherapy, surgery, and safe boarding. You might think your $5, $10, or $20 doesn’t matter—but it truly does. It’s just a matter of many people coming together.

Why we need your support

Nino is not just any rescue. He’s young, playful, and determined to heal—but he needs specialised care. As independent rescuers (not a shelter), we can’t give him the round-the-clock support he needs at home, especially while working full-time.

That’s why Nino is now being cared for by Tante Pascale, a trusted caretaker who makes sure he’s safe and loved. We also use a pet taxi to take him to weekly physiotherapy sessions.

Here’s a breakdown of his upcoming expenses:

24 physiotherapy sessions – $1000

Pet taxi (weekly physio trips) – $1200

Boarding (May–December) – $800

Front leg surgery (October) – $900 (estimated)

Spaying and vaccines – $80 + 50$

Vaccines – $60 Food (8 months) – $350

Travel papers + flight (for adoption abroad) – $270

About 100%Ferdinand

I’m Adrienne, an independent rescuer in Lebanon since 2017. I created 100%Ferdinand, a small clothing brand where all profits go to help cats and dogs in need. You can follow on Instagram: @100.ferdinand.

Nino’s case is too costly to cover through the brand alone, and we don’t want to stop helping other rescues. That’s why we’re asking for your support here—to help Nino and keep supporting others.

Why it matters even more in Lebanon

With the crisis in Lebanon, more animals are being abandoned and fewer are being adopted. Vet care and basic needs are unaffordable, and shelters are overwhelmed. Sometimes, like in Nino’s case, adoption abroad is the only chance.

Your help means everything—for Nino, and for so many others like him.
