Marvellous Menagerie

Please meet Cinnamon, she is a 3 year old Bengal who fell 3 stories from a balcony. She has a fractured pelvis and a pneumothorax.

She desperately needs our help to save her life.

Cinnamon is on oxygen support and is stable, for now, but her respiration rate is varying wildly, leaving open the possibility that she will need a tap to release the pressure In her chest.

She is going to need surgery to fix her pelvic fracture.

She had to be surrendered because her family could not afford the care she needed. She’s suffered awful trauma, and lost her family all in the same day.

PLEASE, please help me save her. I know we have had a heavy year for medical cases, but your support and generosity has saved so many lives and we can save hers too, if we continue to work together.

THANK YOU ❤️

Meet Muffin.

She was found in the engine block of a car, taken to an auto shop, in really rough shape. She is only 7 weeks old and my rescue took her in with a massive upper respiratory infection, possible pneumonia, suspected broken leg and swelling to the left side of her face.

I rushed Muffin to AERC, here in Minnesota, which is a specialty emergency hospital; where her blood glucose was only 35, she is running a fever and is struggling to breathe.

All hope is not lost for this sweet, amazing, little fighter, but we desperately need your help to save her life. Her bill is easily going to be in the thousands. Please, please help us to help her get a chance at the life she deserves.

Every donation, no matter the size, is so gratefully received and is tax deductible.

Thomas is a stray who was hit by a car and found by a Good Samaritan after he showed up on their porch asking for help. He was surrendered to us with a double break to his pelvis and healing breaks in his right leg. He also has an infected wound on his left foot from dragging his leg or so long. He is also suffering from a double ear infection. All this and he isn’t even a year old.

Please help me to cover his medical costs so we can get him well and find his forever home. He is so sweet, even in so much pain, and deserves a happy ending.

From the age of 10, at that time unbeknownst to me, I began telling my parents I wanted a rescue. I described it as a farm where no body was killed and everyone was loved and had a name. I had no specific ideas about the types of animals I wanted to rescue at that time, but once I began my first job in rescue, working with captive-bred foxes, I quickly knew I wanted to help with the chronic and increasing issue of pet foxes being irresponsibly taken on and to bring attention to the plague of fur farms; which are still horribly abundant in the United States. I also have such a passion for cats and the plight of homeless, feral and community cats in desperate need of TNR and care.

My plans for exactly when I would start this rescue were taken out of my hands when my first fox, Ianto (Yan-toh), came into my life. He was a 3 week old blue arctic fox, rescued from a fur farm; the only survivor of his litter. He was terrified and had injuries on his shoulder and below his eye. We bonded immediately and the Marvellous Menagerie was born.

In 2023 alone we rescued 30 cats and kittens and had to say no to so many more. In 2022 we rescued 3 foxes; all pet surrenders, two of whom came from awful neglect and abuse situations. We complete adoptions as quickly as we can, but the simple fact is that we simply don’t have the room to save more.

I NEED YOUR HELP

I currently have two full time jobs, along side running the Menagerie, because I am desperate to purchase a suitable property where we can bring all our residents together and expand into it, helping more foxes and cats as we grow. Presently, our fox residents are an hour and a half away from my home, which leaves the majority of the day-to-day care to a dear friend. It also means I am full until we move. We cannot even think of beginning our TNR program until we have this property.

We have been given the opportunity of an incredible gift - an anonymous and incredibly kind and generous donor is willing to match up to $30,000 for a deposit for the Menagerie's forever home. I'm giving all the spare money I have for the animals and toward a deposit, but it just isn't enough and it isn't enough, quickly enough.

I know times are hard, but I have to ask for your help, for the animals I care for currently, and the ones who will need a safe place to land.

Please, please help me help foxes and cats in need; there are so many more every year.

You can donate or share and we're a 501c3 so all donations are tax deductible.
