10/4 Update

It is with heavy, broken hearts that we share that Rosemary, Wyck, and Ruthie have passed away. Despite round-the-clock emergency ICU care, specialized treatment, and every effort by the veterinary team, their tiny bodies just couldn't overcome the disease. We are devastated by the loss of these three sweet souls who deserved so much more time.

But there is a ray of hope: Patty has turned the corner.

Our sweet fourth kitten is responding to treatment, doing better, and fighting hard. She isn't fully out of the woods yet, but she is showing incredible resilience, and we are cautiously optimistic for her recovery.

Because we fought with everything we had for all four kittens, our rescue is now facing a monumental $12,000 emergency veterinary bill, with roughly $10,000 still needed to cover their care. As a small, local rescue, an expense like this is overwhelming, but when a animal's life is on the line, we never give up.

Every single shirt purchased through this campaign helps us cover these immense medical costs and ensures we can continue providing Patty with the monitoring and care she needs to grow up strong.

• The Crisis: Four tiny, 4.5?5 week old kittens are fighting feline panleukopenia?the devastating virus that tragically took their mother?s life over the weekend.
• The Battle: Two of the babies, Ruthie and Wyck, had to be rushed to MedVet for intensive, round-the-clock emergency care. Now, all four siblings have tested positive and need everything we can give them to survive.
• The Goal: Veterinary bills have already skyrocketed to $6,000, and with ongoing hospitalizations, the costs continue to climb. We refuse to give up on them, but we urgently need your help to cover their medical care.

They should be curled up against their mama, nursing, playing, and discovering what it means to be a kitten.

Instead, they are fighting to breathe, eat, and survive a brutal virus.

When their mother lost her courageous battle with panleukopenia, our shelter immediately tested her four tiny, 4.5?5 week old babies. The results broke our hearts: they tested positive, too.

Wyck and Ruthie grew so critically ill that they required emergency hospitalization at MedVet, while their littermates are being closely monitored by our regular vet. They need specialized medications, fluids, nutrition, and 24/7 supportive treatment to give their little bodies a fighting chance.

We realize $6,000 is a huge amount to spend on four tiny kittens. But they are fighters, and we cannot stand by and watch them die. They have already lost their mama. They have lost enough.

We want to come out on the other side of this heartbreak and tell you, "They made it." But we cannot do it alone.

• Wear Your Support: Every t-shirt purchased directly helps us pay off these mounting veterinary bills and keep these babies alive.
• Donate Directly: If you prefer to give an extra gift, every single dollar counts ($5, $10, $20, or more) and goes straight toward their emergency care.
• Spread the Word: Please share our campaign link with friends, family, and social media groups. Your share might put this in front of the exact person who can help us save them.

Please help us give these babies the one thing they still have left: A chance.

Thank you for fighting for Ruthie, Wyck, Patricia, Rosemary, and all the animals who need us most.
