Kipper
Kipper is a survivor of the Bastrop fires and has been reunited with his family. However, Kipper was severely injured, with all four paws badly burnt as well as suffering burns to his face. “He is quite the trooper for surviving 11 days out there, waiting on our property for us” says his mom, Janet, “He was so weak, when he heard my voice all he could do was a quite, raspy meow and he couldn’t even get up.”His family took him to the vet, who have cared for Kipper and helped him heal and while there is not a release date yet, Kipper is doing much better. Kipper’s family completely lost their house in the fires and one of their four pets as well. As you can imagine, the cost of this veterinary care for Kipper is more than the family can afford due to their terrible loss. They reached out to Austin Pets Alive for help with the vet bill and we could not say no. Will you help us pay Kipper’s bill so the family does not have to worry anymore?
Thank you!
Poor sweet Kipper, I shared on twitter and facebook.
ReplyDeleteI'll a search for Austin Alive and Kipper on Google. Just FYI, the link you provided doesn't work for Austin Alive but maybe it's a problem with my Internet browser.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I just read over at Twinkletoes your story, Abby, and it broke my heart. I'm so glad you are with your mom and your family.
I have hopefully corrected the link, but in case I didn't (I seemed to be having trouble getting FireFox to load it) I also included the url. Thank you Lucy for letting me know!
ReplyDeleteAh-ha! I knew it was Firefox. I was able to copy/paste the link and get there, but not click on it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing his story and need. What a sad situation for him and his family.
Poor Kipper and his family. Thank you for sharing this with us. I also can't use the link on Safari, but the url works.

What a heart breaking story. I was happy to go over to Austin Pets and chip in. This poor family has been through enough. So kind of you to bring it to our attention.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Internet Explorer didn't like the link either. But I used the copy method and it worked great.
ReplyDeleteA sad story but hopefully a happy ending! The link is still not working, in Firefox or Safari, gives a weird URL. But the copy and paste method does work. I think the link would be easier to find if it was a different color or underlined. It's pretty inconspicuous right now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for excellent suggestion MizzBassie. We also believe finally we have gotten the link to work! At least it did for us in Firefox. Thanks everyone!!
ReplyDeleteOH, poor Kipper. We are so glad he survived. He must be a very smart and brave kitty. We are sending healing purrs and will ask Mommy to do what she can to help.
ReplyDeletePoor Kipper. It is a miracle that he survived, and we hope he makes a good recovery.
ReplyDeleteWe are purring that Kipper makes a good recovery.
ReplyDeleteI tried to send my Human to make a donation to Kipper. She can get to the main site, & even to sponsor a pet & she sees Kipper, but she just can't figure out how to donate to Kipper specifically. Also, when she pressed the donate now button, there was a big red slash and an "X" over the https which freaked her out a little about putting in cc info!
ReplyDeleteWe will try again tomorrow cause we want to help this kitty!
Maybe someone can put info in the comments i=to help her out?
Poor Kipper. Unfortunately I can't help right now.
ReplyDeletePoor little guy, but what a strong little spirit. Purrs to him for his continued recovery, healing and health.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to Kipper and his family, what a devstating thing to happen. He will be in my thoughts and purrayers =^..^=
