In a poignant appeal for solidarity, Austin Pets Alive! – a non-profit animal shelter has called for donations to attain an ambitious target of $24,000. The funds will go into providing crucial medical care for numerous distressed animals including Tanglewood, an unfortunately oversized 27-pound cat grappling with severe health impediments.
Having initially been adopted just last year, Tanglewood found himself back at the Austin Animal Center and ended up being transferred to the loving arms of Austin Pets Alive!. The erstwhile home pet has a string of health complications, but most notably, has been battling jarring seizures. The most recent seizure episode culminated in a broken jaw, with potential repercussions including re-injury to a formerly fractured leg according to a post shared by the organization on popular social media platform, Facebook.
“Tanglewood is a 27 pound chonk who just can’t catch a break!” the heart-rending post stated. The term ‘chonk’ is an internet slang used to refer to overweight cats, a moniker that aptly fits Tanglewood’s description.
Austin Pets Alive! further detailed that funds raised through this initiative would be funneled towards comprehensive medical interventions and day-to-day care for the injured and sick animals under their care.
The charity organization evidently runs under financial constraints, and these funds will go a long way in bolstering their capacity to attend to the pressing needs of their sheltered pets. Their open-arm approach to animals in distress significantly outstrips their available resources, hence the earnest call for donations.
For those who are moved by the plights of Tanglewood and his contemporaries, there’s the opportunity to take decisive action by donating through the ‘Austin Pets Alive!’ official website. Generous donors can make a tangible difference in these animals’ lives, helping restore them to health or managing their conditions for improved well-being and quality of life.
