Tino’s Triumph: A Community Comes Together

It is with a mixture of relief and gratitude that we share the uplifting journey of Tino, a resilient feline who recently faced a harrowing ordeal. On September 25, Tino was struck by a car, left to endure pain and solitude on the unforgiving streets. Thankfully, a compassionate soul spotted him, acted swiftly, and rushed him to the vet, revealing internal injuries and a leg fracture.

In a twist of fate, the initial responder applied for Care Credit, securing $1,000 to kickstart Tino’s critical medical care. However, the total expenses for the necessary surgeries surpassed this amount, prompting a call for support. This is where our incredible community stepped up in ways that continue to warm our hearts.

Community Compassion in Action

Your generosity, as always, has been awe-inspiring. Tino underwent surgeries to repair his bladder and amputate a leg, paving the way for his recovery. Today marks a significant milestone as Tino leaves the hospital, heading towards a new chapter with his adopter – the very person who first rescued him from the street.

We are thrilled to announce that Tino’s rescuer has decided to give him a forever home, transforming his fate from a stray cat on the streets to a cherished companion with a warm bed and loving family.

A Helping Hand for Tino: Progress and Challenges

While the initial $1,000 from Care Credit was a vital lifeline, we want to be transparent about the ongoing financial challenge. The remaining portion of Tino’s medical bill is being cared for by the incredible individuals who support our rescue mission. We haven’t crossed the finish line, but we’re steadily making progress, and that is thanks to each one of you.

Your Continued Support Matters

If you find it in your heart to contribute to Tino’s ongoing care and assist other animals facing similar predicaments, we welcome your donations here. Every bit helps and brings us closer to providing the care these resilient animals deserve.

Tino’s story encapsulates the power of community, demonstrating that even in the face of adversity, we can create meaningful change. We express our deepest gratitude to each person who played a role in Tino’s journey and to those who continue to support our mission.

Together, we are making a lasting impact, one paw at a time.
