Today is Giving Tuesday, your donation will be doubled to have twice the impact on animals in our care. Animals like Ducky, a resilient kitty, full of affection with an unbreakable spirit who needs some extra TLC.
Ducky was found as a kitten by a friendly finder, Kayla. Ducky, like so many others, was found in need of a home and life altering support. In Ducky’s case, she was found with an odd-looking leg and a significant limp.
“My brother and I were outside of my complex late one night. I saw the tiniest head peeking out from behind a dumpster. I started to put food out for Ducky in our backyard. She was still timid but would watch us from a distance. Eventually she came over to us and let us pet her. I noticed the limp when she started coming into our backyard. I called the Brant County SPCA as I knew about their Friendly Finders program.” Kayla, Ducky’s Friendly Finder
The Friendly Finders program provides food and supplies for those who find animals without a home and in need of support. Those who find the animal are encouraged to house the animal until their forever home is found.
Help animals like Ducky in our community with a gift today in support of our greatest shelter needs.
Our animal care team took Ducky to our local vet, who determined her leg needed to be amputated. The Project Patchwork program is crucial to animals like Ducky who need above and beyond care.
Ducky’s amputation surgery is scheduled for December 17th and will cost over $1,500 on top of her daily care and medical costs. Did you know that it costs the Brant County SPCA approximately $250,000 a year to simply care for the animals at our shelter and in foster care.
As you may know, caring for animals is expensive; vet bills have increased, food and supplies are always in need. And we can’t put a dollar value on the amount of love and care our incredible staff and volunteers give these animals. Anything you can do to help us care for animals like Ducky is greatly appreciated – We wouldn’t be able to do it without you!
We are incredibly grateful for the ways our community of supporters comes together every time there is a furry friend that deserves life-altering support.
Ducky has overcome so much and deserves to find her forever home. But her broken leg, although not causing her pain, is not sufficient to bear weight and will cause significant issues for her growth if treatment is delayed too long.
Celebrate Giving Tuesday with a matched gift that will help animals like Ducky get the support they need to live their lives to the fullest and find their forever home.
