Stache

Read heartfelt stories of rescue, and share your rescued animal stories with others.

This is Stache. He only had 1/2 a mustache, so I gave him 1/2 the name. I found him at the local dump. His tail was bleeding and his legs so swollen, I thought they were broken. I took him to the vet, who said he had been shot. He is on an antibiotic now and I am hoping the tail gets better. They vet said if the tail does not get better, it will have to be amputated. He's not litter trained yet, but I am giving him meds and huge doses of love. My other cats have not warmed to him yet, but I am hopeful they will.

About The Animal Rescue Site

The Animal Rescue Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific need — providing food and vital care for some of the eight million unwanted animals given to shelters every year in the U.S., as well as animals in desperate need around the world. Over four million animals are put to death each year in the U.S. alone because they are abandoned and unwanted.

Each click on the purple "Click Here to Give — it's FREE!" button at The Animal Rescue Site provides food and care for a rescued animal in need. Funding for food and care is paid by site sponsors and distributed to animals in need by Rescue Bank, The Fund for Animals, the Petfinder Foundation, North Shore Animal League, International Fund for Animal Welfare,and other worthy animal rescue organizations supported by GreaterGood.org.

In addition to clicking the purple "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button, visitors can help more by shopping in The Animal Rescue Site store. With each item purchased, shoppers generate funds for the feeding and care of animals in shelters and sanctuaries.
