Caring for 16 Rescued Cats…and MORE on the Way
At the end of September, we took in 16 cats from a challenging living situation. They are now safe, but they need our help to ensure they receive the care they deserve. At this time, we estimate that the cost of their care will be over $10,000.
About the Cats:
– Ages: 1 to 5 years (most are 2-3 years old)*
– Temperament: Mostly very friendly, with a couple of shy ones
– Conditions: Various stages of need for medical care
– Special Cases: 2 pregnant cats in foster care, 4 needing dental surgery, 12 on medication for various health issues (URI, skin, eyes, ears)
How You Can Help:
We’ve set up a fundraiser to cover their veterinary bills, medication, and special care needs. Your generous contribution will provide these cats with a second chance at a happy and healthy life.
What Your Donation Can Do:
– $20: Covers a week of medication for one cat
– $50: Contributes to the dental surgery for a cat in need
– $100: Supports the foster care of a pregnant cat and her future kittens
Every dollar makes a difference, and your shares help us reach more caring individuals. Let’s come together to give these cats the love and care they deserve!
Thank you for your compassion and support.

UPDATE: Wednesday, 10/11/2023
The first two of the rescued cats are now available for adoption.
Beetlejuice is a 2-year-old neutered male. He’s available at our Adoption Center.
Hippo is a 1-year-old neutered male. He will be available Wednesday afternoon from 4-7 pm at our satellite location inside Northborough PetSmart.
If you don’t see Beetlejuice or Hippo on our Adopt-a-Cat page, they may have found a new home.
This handsome young pup is a perfect example of why we do what we do. When he wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t hold down any food, his family rushed him to an emergency hospital. It turned out that five-month-old Finley got himself into some serious trouble when he ate something he shouldn’t. He needed emergency surgery to remove the object, but the cost was more than his family could afford. Lucky for Finley, the emergency facility knew about Second Chance. His family brought him to our North Brookfield hospital where Dr. Jackie and her team stayed late to help save this boy. Happily Finley is back home with his grateful family.
