Anne Bonney originally came to us with a badly injured eye that never healed, and now that it’s gone, she’s finally comfortable and ready for her next chapter.
Update: Her foster family loves her too much to let her go. She's already home!
As we were closing our doors last night, a woman rushed in holding a kitten so sick… we couldn’t even see her eyes. Just swollen, bright-red tissue where sight should have been. She was tiny, barely 1.6 pounds, weak, sneezing, burning with infection. And yet, the moment we touched her, she purred.
This is Anne Bonney.
Found alone on a gravel road in Milaca, desperately ill, and turned away from multiple vet clinics because no one could help. By the time she reached us, her eyes were so severely infected we still don’t know if they can be saved, and even if they are, she may never see again.
But try telling her that she’s sick.
She climbs onto her foster’s shoulder like a fearless pirate, rumbling with purrs, soaking up every bit of love she’s offered. She refuses to give up.
This Give to the Max Day, Anne Bonney represents exactly why rescue matters. Animals who are overlooked, out of chances, and suffering, yet still fighting. Your donation today helps provide the emergency veterinary care she needs, the medications keeping infection at bay, and the ongoing treatment that could change the course of her life.
She walked into our building on the brink. Your gift can help her walk into a future she deserves.
