UPDATE: After months of intensive care, Noel has fully recovered. This resilient feline beat the odds and survived. She is ready to find a loving home with a window to watch birds and bask in the sun. Noel thanks you for your support and is ready to find her person.

Meet Noel. 

This sweet cat has had a rough start to life and needs your support to heal. She was found emaciated and near death in front of a coffee shop in Greece. 

She was brought back to Let's be S.M.A.R.T., a local cat rescue and sanctuary, to be examined. The team discovered that Noel was suffering from painful mouth ulcers and many necrotic teeth. 

They shared with us how dire her condition was when she arrived, "She was skin and bones, pale and her temperature was so low the thermometer couldn’t detect it."

Noel was too weak to undergo surgery and was immediately started on antibiotics and IV fluids. She remained hospitalized for a couple weeks to regain some of her strength. 

Once she was discharged, she needed constant care as she couldn't eat or drink on her own. "We fed her with a syringe every couple of hours and gave her water the same way. After a few days the miracle happened and Noel started feeling better, gained some strength and was finally able to eat on her own," recalled her caretakers. 

Noel had her rotten teeth removed once she was strong enough and is on the road to recovery. However, it will be a long journey and she needs your help. 

Her medical bills continue to accumulate as she developed another sore on her gums and needs another round of antibiotics and medication. 

The rescue reached out to Greater Good Charities' Emergency Animal Medical fund for assistance. The fund is able to help cats like Noel with your continued support. Every day sick and injured animals arrive at shelters in desperate need of medical care. Together we can help them get the care they need and find loving homes.

Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, Greater Good Charities and The Animal Rescue Site are in the process of deepening our commitment to the pets of Xanthi, ensuring every animal has the support it needs. We are also expanding our reach to several new areas in Greece, supporting both cats and dogs in need.

Help Noel get the care she needs to grow big and strong and reach our goal of $6,000 for her care.
