Current Medical Needs

Every animal deserves access to medical care, regardless of the cost. Donations to the Medical Fund help provide emergency treatment, surgery, medications, diagnostic testing, and other lifesaving veterinary services for animals in Siskiyou County.

The cases below represent animals currently receiving care that exceeds our normal operating budget. Donations may be directed to a specific case or used where they are needed most.

Current Medical Cases

Six Kittens Need Urgent Eye Surgery

Warning: Some photos on this page contain graphic medical images.

A litter of seven kittens arrived at Siskiyou Humane Society on July 12 after being found living beneath a house.

Despite treatment, their condition rapidly worsened. One kitten was humanely euthanized due to the severity of illness.

The remaining six kittens have suffered irreversible eye damage. Three require emergency eye removal surgery immediately, and the other three are expected to need surgery soon.

Veterinarians believe the kittens are suffering from severe complications associated with feline herpesvirus (FHV-1).

Your donation will help provide:

  • Eye surgeries
  • Medications
  • Follow-up veterinary care
  • Recovery support

We cannot save their eyes, but we can save them from a lifetime of pain.

Goal: $3000

Emergency Care for Baby Girl & Baby Angel

Our medical fund is stretched even further with two more urgent cases requiring critical care:

  • Baby Girl came to us with suspected parvovirus. She has needed intensive support including subcutaneous fluids, electrolytes, medications, and ongoing monitoring.

  • Baby Angel was rushed in for an emergency veterinary visit and diagnosed with Puppy Strangles (Juvenile Cellulitis), a painful immune-mediated condition requiring specialized medical treatment and heavy medications.

Between Baby Angel’s emergency vet bills ($343.61) and replacing the vital sub-Q fluid bags used to stabilize Baby Girl, we are asking for an additional $400 to cover their care. 
Your donation will help recover the cost of an emergency vet visit and replenish our Sub -Q for the next pet in need. 
Goal: $400
