WELCOME NEBEL! Nebel was found on a rainy night in 2021, struggling with his back legs. After being brought to Animal League America, he was diagnosed with spinal neuropathy and urinary incontinence. Within six months, his hind legs became paralyzed. Recently, Nebel was outfitted with a cart to help him get around and he’s learning to navigate this new world. Despite everything, he remains a treat-obsessed, purring sweetheart. We hope you’ll consider adding a sponsorship for Nebel.

Donnie was visited by an angel this year in the form of a dog named Leah. Donnie spent months in our Pet Health Centers, trying to manage his neurological challenges. During that time, he bonded with Leah, who was being treated for a mysterious medical condition. Their friendship blossomed as they sought each other out for solace. Leah initially responded to treatment and found a new home – except that meant leaving her best friend behind. But their story wasn’t over. Leah’s new family – who never had a cat before, let alone one with special needs – decided they should stay together! Sadly, Leah succumbed to pancreatitis, but passed away only after Donnie was settled in. We mourn the loss of Leah but rejoice in the new life she made possible for this wonderful Sponsor Pet.

Introducing Donnie! Late last summer a Good Samaritan found Donnie in a neighboring backyard – he was maggot-infested and his motor coordination was obviously impaired. He was immediately admitted to our Pet Health Centers where he was treated, examined and scheduled for an MRI. Donnie is diagnosed with multiple neurological issues stemming from excess water on the brain and underdeveloped gray matter which are causing Donnie’s abnormal balance and poor motor skills. An adorable and charming fellow, he’s been a favorite of our medical staff – even making friends and snuggling with a Pet Health Centers canine patient named Leah!
