Donate now to save special needs animals!

We’ve been inundated by special needs cases this spring and early summer. As you know, Footbridge Foundation works hard not to turn away special needs animals, especially amid the soaring temperatures outside. However, this requires us to raise more money to help with the unexpected additional costs of surgeries, medications, blood transfusions, and other life-saving treatments.

We recently lost two of our special needs animals, Bexar Bear (a cat) and Rupert (a dog). Bexar Bear lost his battle with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) after a long and hard fight. Rupert suffered from what the doctors believe was either a ruptured tumor or heart failure from his heart worms. Both animals were given lots of love, hugs, and kisses by their wonderful fosters in their final weeks with us.

In addition to the high costs of their care, two more animals in our program - Cupcake (a dog) and Millie (a cat) - both had emergency vet visits that same weekend. Cupcake suffered a prolapsed rectum which required emergency surgery while Millie suffers from Mycoplasmosis which required an emergency blood transfusion in order to save her life. Both animals are now on the road to recovery.

Jake, a Lonely Hearts Club member, will soon finish costly treatments for FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis), which is nearly always fatal. We’ve been treating Jake for months with a costly and newly discovered regimen for FIP that is amazingly successful but incredibly costly. And, we recently took in a Siamese mama cat and her nine kittens, all of whom we discovered have ringworm.

Cases like these only increase during the dangerously hot summer months, with vulnerable animals requiring rescue and skilled veterinary care. We humbly ask you to help us raise the funds we urgently need to save the lives of cats and dogs suffering on the scorching streets of San Antonio.

Thanks to donations like yours, we are able to afford the medical costs associated with these difficult situations and many more that arise with the 70 other animals in our care. Thank you again for the difference you have made in both their lives and ours.
