Thanks from Will and Harry, Two Special Kitties Looking for a Home

Will & Harry were rescued from a rural NC shelter just hours before they were to be euthanized. These two boys were born with a condition in which their eyelashes rubbed on their eyes and scratched their corneas. The rubbing lead to distorted vision and quite a bit of discomfort. Thanks to wonderful volunteers from Independent Animal Rescue and incredibly generous donations from animal lovers all over the Triangle, Will & Harry were able to get the medical attention they needed and now they are pain free, happy and healthy, and looking for a home to call their very own.

Bailey Needs Your Help

When you meet Bailey, you'll be greeted by a happy, energetic, fun loving and loyal 18-month old pup who wants nothing more than to make you happy! What Bailey can't tell you is that his leg hurts — a lot. Bailey has a kneecap that continues to pop out of place. This problem tends to get worse and could eventually lead to lameness. Sadly, that's what will likely happen to Bailey without our help. However, our friends at Veterinary Surgical Referral Practice have generously offered to fix Bailey's knee at a reduced cost of $1500, and he is expected to enjoy a FULL recovery. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help Bailey. No donation is too small, every dollar counts.
