Bernie came into the shelter as a dumped stray during a time when the shelter was under quarantine. A foster placement stepped up, allowing the kitten to bypass the shelter and go directly into a loving home. The foster parent quickly fell in love with the kitten and says the kitten has even helped lower her stress level. The kitten was born with anal stenosis, a congenital condition that causes narrowing of the anus and can make it extremely difficult and painful to properly relieve itself. The foster parent has already paid out of pocket for the kitten&rsquo;s medical care and recently reached out to ask for help with the cost of a $2,900 surgery needed to relieve the kitten&rsquo;s pain and improve its quality of life. On July 22, 2026, the foster parent took the kitten to a medical appointment, where the decision was made to perform the surgery that same day.&nbsp; We have seen amazing things happen when our community comes together to help animals in need, including providing assistance with necessary surgeries and medical care. We are now asking for your help in raising funds to assist this foster parent with the cost of the kitten&rsquo;s surgery.&nbsp; Every donation, no matter the amount, can make a difference and help ensure this kitten receives the care it needs to live a happy, healthy, and pain-free life.
