Hope for Life Rescue - Recovery Road

$5 Friday: The Stars Kittens ⭐️ 🐱💜

The Stars kittens may not be the sickest looking kittens we’ve posted, but don’t let that fool you; these babies don’t feel good. 😢

After a bout of upper respiratory symptoms that worsened over the last couple days, they needed to see the vet as it was starting to affect their appetite.

Thankfully they were seen at Independence Veterinary Hospital today and started on a medication regiment that should help them start to feel better.

If you have $5 you can spare, please consider donating to help us cover the cost of their care today so we can keep funds available for other animals in the future.

Thank you! 💜

Meet Smokey 🐾

This sweet 7-year-old senior poodle recently came to us and would love nothing more than to recover in a home environment surrounded by love and comfort. ❤️

Yesterday, Smokey visited the eye specialist at Animal Eye Care, where he was diagnosed with blepharitis—inflammation of the eyelids, likely secondary to allergies.

He will also be seeing one of our regular veterinarians to address a possible ear infection and continue managing his medical care. Right now, Smokey is on four different eye medications as well as a steroid, and we are hopeful that with the right treatment plan, his eyes will become more comfortable and manageable over time. He is scheduled to return to the eye specialist again in three weeks.

Smokey was recently surrendered to us after his previous owner reportedly became tired of grooming him and giving him his eye medication. Unfortunately, none of this is something Smokey can help—he simply needs care.

What he gives in return, though, is endless sweetness. As you can see from these photos, Smokey is incredibly affectionate, happy, and loving despite everything he’s been through. We’re grateful to be able to get him the care he deserves—now we just need to find him the right person willing to continue that care and love him the way he always should have been loved. 🐶✨

We are still looking for a foster-to-adopt home for Smokey. If you’re interested in helping this sweet boy, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Update on Tomoe 💜

We’re happy to report that Tomoe’s FHO surgery was successful, and he’s doing great!

While he was under anesthesia, dental x-rays were also completed in preparation for his next surgery, which is scheduled for June 29th.

Tomoe will likely need a couple of teeth extracted, and part of his jaw will need to be removed due to the severity of his previous injuries. After that, this should finally be the last major step in his recovery journey so he can live comfortably and pain-free.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated toward his care and helped make this surgery possible. We truly could not do this without you. 💜

We’ll link the previous post below for anyone who would still like to help with Tomoe’s ongoing medical expenses. 🐾
