Sympathetic Ear Animal Rescue is receiving record amounts of calls daily for help with lost, abandoned and neglected animals like Lucy. Help the rescue raise funds to pay outstanding vet bills of over $4000.00 (mounting every day).

 

The rescue has run out of homes and has surpassed the capacity of housing sick, injured and abandoned animals. We work with several feral colonies where we trap spay/neuter these cats and rehabilitate them and find them new homes. In the winter we cannot release these ferals back to their colony right away as they require time to heal and for their fur on their bellies to grow back. We need a warm place to do that.

 

Building a work shop with storage space and heat would be ideal. We will be able to house the animals to either recover or in most cases rehabilitate them to show them that people can be kind and help them to become good pets, then we adopt them out to new homes. We help any animals in need. The rescue has been called for anything from fish left in apartments to horses needing new owners. We try not to turn any animal in need away but due to lack of space we have had to refuse some animals. Due to this we have had animals left at our houses and in our colonies.

 

These animals are put at risk and do not deserve to be dumped like that. We have had many animals come through our doors that require costly medical care; Lucy, a 5 week old kitten was flea ridden, had an eye inury and on deaths door. She required weeks of antibiotics, medical attention and surgery for her eye. Mookie was a ten year old cat surrendered to the rescue; she needed a costly surgery to remove a tumor. Miracle was a six  month old cat  found at a construction site doused in gasoline and had a broken leg; she needed her rear left leg amputated. Jake was a two year old pitbull found tattered from a fight. He needed stitches and months of rehabilitation to heal physically and emotionally.

 

Just some of the cases we have seen and all of these animals needed our help because another human had let them down. What isn't fundraised often comes from our own pockets to pay for what we need. All donations will help the rescue pay vet bills and build a workshop to continue our work.
