Sponsor a Friend

As a 100% donation and volunteer-based rescue, we rely heavily on help from the community. Our sponsor a pet program means you can help us care for an animal with special needs. Some rescued animals come with medical, behavioural or other issues and, sadly, cannot be adopted. These cases usually result in expensive care, but we cannot turn them away, so we seek animal lovers who will help as foster parents or sponsor parents...
FOSTER PARENTS provide safe, loving homes and meet the daily needs of their foster pets. Thank you, foster parents, for opening up your home to cats and dogs in need! 
SPONSOR PARENTS provide financial assistance, so the rescued animals get the care they need. Thank you, Sponsors, for giving these animals a chance. We CANNOT do this without the support of amazing people like you!
Some of the beautiful cats and dogs below are looking for sponsors!

MEDICAL CASES LOOKING FOR SPONSORS

FOXY - Foxy is a shy, sweet girl who is suffering from ongoing stomach issues. She has been visiting the vets monthly recently as we work through her digestive issues.
SEPHORA - In August 2020, Sephora suffered a stroke and we thought we were going to loose her; but she bounced back, as strong as ever!
JESSICA - Jessica is our palliative old girl; she's been with us for quite some time and we beleive she will live the rest of her live in the care of MHS and her foster mom. She is in renal failure and requires special renal food and supplementary support to keep her comfortable. Please help support Jessica and her food needs.

DIABETIC SENIORS LOOKING FOR SPONSORS

Ace - Ace is a diabetic, but he is lucky to be in remission and only needs a strict diet to control his diabetes. Pictured here with his friend Abby who has lost her battle and has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

BAILEY - Bailey is a newly diagnosed diabetic dog who is looking for a sponsor parent to help cover the cost of her insulin and food. She is such a sweet old gal who loves everyone, enjoys strolls through the park, and has taken a shine to her new foster family!

MAGGIE - Sweet little Maggie is a long-term diabetic foster with us. She is looking for someone to help cover her monthly insulin costs.

FIV Cats: Feline Immunodeficiency Virus

FIV, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, is similar to HIV in humans. The virus slowly deteriorates the cat's immune system, making them more susceptible to infections. Many of these cats can - and will - live generally happy and healthy lives but, just like HIV in humans, FIV in cats comes with a scary stigma. Some of our FIV cats are available for adoption, while others will remain in long term foster. Whether you choose to Sponsor a cat or Adopt a cat, either way, you are saving a life!

Coco               

Prince Coco is a FIV long term care cat with a Thyroid condition; he is currently working on stabilizing his condition with our vet and makes monthly visits to the vet to check his levels.
He is so happy to have a regular sponsor from A MEOW FOR HELP! They are covering all his medical bills! THANK YOU!!!
Andrew and Gary

Andrew (black) and Gary (tabby) are a bonded pair of shadow cats who are FIV+
They came from an industrial area along with several other cats. Andrew is laid back and independent. He likes sleeping, napping and eating (just like me). Gary is playful and curious. As the more timid of the two he has surprisingly shown the most interest in interacting with people. He will come up to you if he wants something (food or play). He likes chasing the laser pointer and playing with small fuzzy mouse toys.

FeLV: FELINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS CATS

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a serious infection that does not have a good prognosis. As of this year, we test every single one of our cats who are old enough, for FeLV and FIV, to be able to detect and handle a FeLV diagnosis sooner! FeLV compromises the cat's immune system, can cause tumors, and the infected usually have a 2-5 year life expectancy. Not all initially infected will have this sad prognosis; about 85% of cats 4 months and older are able to fight the virus and create antibodies for the rest of their long happy lives!
Lagitha and Torvi
Lagitha and Torvi is a mother/daughter pair we have had in our system for a while; they are faint positive of Feline Leaukemia Virus (FeLV). Our vet, with the experts at the testing lab, have given the girls a good prognosis, they may get to live happy, love lives after all!
