A heartfelt fundraiser to help cover vet bills for Inky, a rescued foster kitten fighting to survive after losing her sister to pneumonia.
Auckland
Inky’s journey hasn’t been easy. She was rescued from the streets alongside her sister, Blinky, when they were just a few weeks old. Both were tiny, sick, and malnourished — but we were hopeful. Sadly, despite every effort, Blinky passed away from pneumonia. It was heartbreaking and traumatic, and we promised ourselves that we’d do everything we could to make sure Inky didn’t suffer the same fate.
Since then, Inky has been closely monitored and loved through her recovery. But now, she needs urgent vet care. Tests, treatments, and a hospital stay have quickly added up, and her vet bill has reached $1,400 — a cost we simply can’t cover alone.
We’re a small, volunteer-led group of women in and around Milldale working to reduce the feral cat population. With no formal rescue in the area, we’re doing what we can — trapping, desexing, feeding, fostering, and rehoming. It’s a big job, but our hearts are in it. Every kitten like Inky deserves a chance.
Your donation will help cover Inky’s vet care so she can grow strong and healthy — and eventually find her forever home. Whether it’s $5 or $50, every bit counts and means the world to us and to this brave little girl.
Thank you for reading, for sharing, and for helping us give Inky the future she deserves. 💛🐾
I’m currently fostering Inky as part of our local volunteer rescue efforts to help stray and vulnerable kittens in need.
The money will be used to cover Inky’s urgent vet care, including tests, treatment, medications, and follow-up visits to support her recovery.
Update – Vet Check-In and a Sweet Reunion 💛 27 August 2025
Inky had her vet visit today for a check-up and blood tests. The vet is happy with how she’s doing overall — now we’re just waiting on her blood test results to come back to confirm everything is progressing well.
Thank you all so much for your continued support. Your kindness has made it possible for us to get Inky the care she needs, and we’re truly grateful.
We also have a little bonus update: I’m now fostering Inky’s mum, Twinky — and it’s been so special to see them reunited. A real full-circle moment. 🐾
