Double your impact for lifesaving medical care
Our medical funds are critically low, and kitten season is right around the corner.
In the coming weeks, intake will surge, and so will the number of sick and vulnerable pets needing care. We need to rebuild our medical fund now so we can continue saying yes when it matters most.
This week your donation will be matched dollar for dollar up to $3,000.
Why It Matters
-
Medical needs can’t wait. From eye enucleations to emergency wound care, timing is everything.
-
We say yes to tough cases. Your gift fuels the exact care most shelters can’t afford.
-
Every dollar is doubled. $25→$50, $100→$200—until we unlock the full $3,000 match.
Impact Story: Spartacus

Spartacus 1 : Ringworm 0!
Spartacus stole the hearts of Lifeline staff the moment we saw his photo at a local shelter (top left). In many municipal shelters, ringworm can be a death sentence. This is not because it’s deadly, but because it’s highly contagious and difficult to manage.
But we knew there was a family out there willing to take a chance on this little guy.
Within 24 hours, Spartacus was in a foster home. The Moody family committed to his care for months. They gave daily oral medication, regular medicated baths, and brought him to multiple appointments (all covered by Lifeline).
And it paid off.
After weeks of treatment, Spartacus was officially cleared of ringworm. We finalized his adoption with his incredible foster family, completed all of his kitten vaccines, microchipped him, and got him neutered at Fix Ur Pet.
Today, Spartacus is thriving as a beloved member of the Moody family, and they still keep in touch with us.
Just look at that handsome boy now.
