<div>I Held Her As She Died, Because the Shelter Failed Her
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, my name is Brittany, and I started Phoenix’s Promise Rescue because I held a dying kitten in my arms, and I made her a promise I will never break.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Phoenix was just 10 weeks old when I picked her up from the Riverside shelter after her spay.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She wasn’t groggy or resting, she was crying in pain
</div>
<div>They handed me an e-collar in a plastic bag, not on her, and there was blood already visible on her belly
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I asked the staff about it, but they brushed it off
</div>
<div>On the way home, I stopped at Dollar Tree to grab gauze, hoping to help her myself
</div>
<div>When I checked her again, I saw the unthinkable
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her incision had opened
</div>
<div>Her intestines were hanging out
</div>
<div>She was bleeding internally and externally, and she was still crying
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I immediately called the Riverside emergency shelter line, but they refused to help
</div>
<div>They told me to find my own vet
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So I rushed her to the Veterinary Emergency Center of Redlands, a 24-hour hospital
</div>
<div>They diagnosed her with spay incision dehiscence and internal bleeding
</div>
<div>She needed
</div>
<div>• Emergency exploratory surgery
</div>
<div>• Removal of damaged tissue
</div>
<div>• Drain placement
</div>
<div>• And multiple days of hospitalization and recovery care
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But the cost? Up to $15,000 or more, just to try to save her
</div>
<div>And even then, they couldn’t promise she’d survive
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I didn’t have that kind of money
</div>
<div>I had nothing but fear, heartbreak, and a kitten slowly dying in my arms
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So I did the only thing I could
</div>
<div>I stayed with her, I kissed her, and I held her while she was put to sleep
</div>
<div>Scared, broken, but not alone
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That night, I made her a promise
</div>
<div>No other kitten would suffer like Phoenix
</div>
<div>Not if I could help it
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s how Phoenix’s Promise Rescue was born
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I don’t have a facility
</div>
<div>I don’t have staff or grants
</div>
<div>I run this rescue from my small apartment, because I can’t afford a home right now
</div>
<div>But I couldn’t wait for the perfect setup to start saving lives
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, it’s just me, my family, sleepless nights, donated supplies, and the fire Phoenix left in my heart
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s What I’ve Done So Far
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks to your support, I’ve been able to raise 14 donations through GoFundMe and 3 more through Cash App
</div>
<div>Because of that, I’ve already taken huge steps toward making this rescue official
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>✔️ Filed the Articles of Incorporation with the state of California
</div>
<div>✔️ Got our official EIN
</div>
<div>✔️ Submitted our Statement of Information
</div>
<div>✔️ Reserved the name Phoenix’s Promise Rescue Corp and got state approval
</div>
<div>✔️ Wrote our nonprofit bylaws with a built-in conflict of interest policy
</div>
<div>✔️ Chose our board members and set our fiscal year end to December 31
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These steps are done and paid for, because you believed in this mission
</div>
<div>But we’re not done yet
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s What Still Needs Funding
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> CT-1 Initial Charity Registration — $50
</div>
<div> RRF-1 Annual Charity Filing — $25
</div>
<div> IRS 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Application — $275
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is what stands between us and becoming a fully recognized nonprofit
</div>
<div>Once that is complete, we will be able to apply for grants, receive donations through shelters and pet stores, and grow this mission into something real and lasting
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Meet Echo and Nova
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our first rescues after Phoenix
</div>
<div>Two baby sisters pulled from the same shelter system
</div>
<div>Echo is calm and gentle, just like Phoenix
</div>
<div>Nova is bold and bright, like her spark lives on in her
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They are safe now, but I can’t keep doing this alone
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What This Fund Supports
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation helps
</div>
<div>• Cover vet care, vaccinations, and emergency visits
</div>
<div>• Buy kitten formula, food, litter, blankets, and heating pads
</div>
<div>• File the remaining nonprofit paperwork and fees
</div>
<div>• Build a safe nursery space inside our home for critical care babies
</div>
<div>• Provide emergency prepaid debit cards for our foster families
</div>
<div>• And most of all, keep Phoenix’s promise alive
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I don’t want my fosters to feel helpless like I did
</div>
<div>Each foster will receive a prepaid debit card for emergencies
</div>
<div>It won’t be a huge amount, but it will mean peace of mind and faster care
</div>
<div>I just ask to be notified when it’s used so I can reload it if needed
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Phoenix’s Promise will not just rescue kittens
</div>
<div>It will support the people who step up to save them too
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My Goal
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The GoFundMe might say $18,000
</div>
<div>But my real goal is $600,000
</div>
<div>That would cover
</div>
<div>• Registering the nonprofit
</div>
<div>• Emergency vet care
</div>
<div>• Medical supplies and equipment
</div>
<div>• Playpens, bedding, shampoos, bottles, and more
</div>
<div>• Everything a foster or fragile kitten might need
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a mission built on love, loss, and a promise I will never break
</div>
<div>This rescue carries her name
</div>
<div>Your support carries her legacy
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping me keep this promise alive
</div>
