Sponsor a Pet

Below are some of the pets in our program who have extraordinary medical expenses.  Donating to sponsor one of these pets will allow us to provide the necessary treatment to these and future pets.

Leonard

Leonard has been a lucky boy, but he still needs your help.
It’s not easy for adult cats who end up at TLAC during kitten season. But Leonard is such a charmer that he stood out from the crowd and was chosen for our program.

Reba

I’m so happy to write this blog post — it’s full of drama, but with a happy ending.
First, to catch you up:

Update 3/9/10: Just got a call from Dr. Vasanjee from the Heart of Texas Specialty Hospital. Calamity Jane’s surgery went great. She was one of the 90% who can be fixed with surgery – no more heart murmur! He’s keeping her overnight. Thanks, everyone, for making this happen for her!
Calamity Jane is a 12 week [...]

Lebowski

Lebowski has a herniated disc which has constricted use of his back legs. He has adapted by using his front legs and upper body to pull himself around, which is how he follows his foster family everywhere (although he’s equally happy being carried).  Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Lebowski’s “adjustment” that allows him [...]
