Helps cover the cost of supplies for bottles, formula, dewormer and a heat source for two days for an orphaned litter of kittens, so that they can be placed with a rescue.
YOU MAKE SECOND CHANCES POSSIBLE!
Everybody deserves a second chance, especially the homeless, abandoned and at-risk pets of Philadelphia. With your help ACCT Philly can give these precious pets a second chance at a new and better life.
We are asking for your support today because YOU really do make second chances possible for Philadelphia's needy pets at ACCT Philly.
NENA'S STORY
Nena was a senior citizen found wandering abandoned and alone on the streets of Philadelphia. She got her second chance because she was brought to ACCT Philly and thanks to the generous support of people like you who made it possible for us to give her the care she desperately needed.
When we met Nena she was the very picture of neglect. She was under weight, her skin was irritated and red, she had pressure sores on her paws, thinning fur, dental fractures and was clearly in some pain.
Our medical team sent Nena to a local veterinary hospital where an x-ray and additional diagnostic tests confirmed that her stiff walk was due to arthritis. She was immediately put on medication to make her more comfortable.
Unfortunately, that was not the end of Nena's health issues. She became sick with an upper resperatory infection which made it difficult for her to breath and was found to have heartworm which would take months to treat.
Luckily, Nena caught the eye of one of our amazing foster families who opened their home to her for as long as it takes for her to get well. Nena is thriving in foster care and is in the process of being adopted by the foster's daughter!
Your gift today will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to a total of $50,000 and will help even more pets like Nena to get their second chance at a new and better life!
