Animals3’s "Spotlight On" campaign presents a new and different animal, every month of the year, that has suffered from unconscionable abuse, traumatic injury or life-threatening illness. These twelve monthly fundraising campaigns must achieve their funding goals in just 30 days before Animals3 moves on to the next tragic animal story. These monthly Spotlight On stories are meant to acquaint Animals3's friends and donors with animal events and to direct their contributions to those specific animals.
Each campaign is tied to the specific story in that animal's life that required emergency care. All funds raised for that animal will be paid directly to the care-giver veterinarian to cover the costs of emergency and medical surgical care. Excess funds donated will be deposited into The Animals3 Fund for Spotlight On Campaign for future disbursement to veterinarians and other care-givers in qualifying cases.
This Month's Spotlight
This is an urgent medical need. Chester is a beautiful Blue Point Siamese cat mix in need of immediate orthopedic surgery. He has an infected, broken right hind leg which requires immediate attention. He was pulled from a kill shelter by a rescue group. They are absolutely smitten by this cat's personality and believe he deserves another chance.
Animals Abused & Abandoned needs your help in making this happen. Read the rest of this month's spotlight story here and make a donation to help Chester!
