WE NEED YOUR HELP!! $0/$800 raised 📣📣📣
Winston the guinea pig has had now 3 vet visits for his respiratory infection. We have tried and failed two different medications and unfortunately he has gotten worse. Today, we had x-rays done to evaluate the progression. He has pneumonia and we are treating with doxy, baytril, and nebulizing treatments. He will need a recheck in a week that will involve another x-ray to see if we have made any progress.
The total cost for today’s visit was $417.08, and we expect to pay at least $335 for his next visit (based on the exam fee and x-ray cost from today). This brings us to a total of just over $750, so we are hoping to raise $800 to cover today’s bill, the next bill, and a little extra in case he is prescribed something new at the next visit.
We are SO LOW ON FUNDS as we have spent a lot of money recently: Paprika’s vet fees, Morningstar’s vet fees (she is doing AMAZING now in her adoptive home by the way!), Winston’s past visits, Vixen’s emergency vet bill, and multiple necropsies. We WILL get Winston the care he needs no matter what. But our bank account is nearly empty. We need your help!
Because of how low on money we are, and the fact that all of our fosters are bursting at the seams, we are making the unfortunate decision to CLOSE INTAKES for the next few weeks. All new intake requests will be waitlisted and we will reach out when we are able to intake again. We have to prioritize animals already in our care. We hope to re open again sometime in April or May after we’ve had a chance to rebuild our bank account & clear out space in foster homes for more animals.

WE HAVE RAISED $170 FOR WINSTON!
BUT WE STILL NEED $630 FOR HIS CONTINUED CARE!
We are a 501c3 small mammal rescue operating in Minnesota. We receive NO government funding and rely entirely on adoption fees and kind donations to care for our animals. I often pay for supplies for my foster homes out of my own pocket so that the rescue’s funds can be saved for medical care, but we have had multiple expensive vet visits in the past few months and haven’t been able to rebuild our savings.
If all of my followers sent just $1, that would be more than enough to cover Winston’s care and help rebuild our savings for future vet visits. As an exotics rescue we often get much less support than dog and cat rescues despite our animals being just as worthy and in just as much need.
We will keep fighting for Winston but we need your help!! Please share!
If you’ve ever enjoyed my poetry, PLEASE consider donating a few dollars to help the animal rescue I run ❤️ We are in desperate need of funds so we can fight for Winston as well as rebuild our veterinary savings for future intakes. We have had to completely close intakes until we have more funds.
