Palo Alto Humane Society's Faces of hope

Chico

Chico became severely ill—he was vomiting and not eating. X-rays showed thread in his abdomen. Emergency surgery was performed and he survived!

His surgery was funded by our Pet Help program, which provides financial aid to people in need for critical cases for their pets.

Black and White Kittens

These kittens were rescued from a commercial property and hand-raised. They are all sociable and healthy cats! All were spayed and neutered in February, supported by the Spay & Neuter program through PAHS.

Please inquire at mountainviewcats@yahoo.com to adopt!

Apollo

Apollo and Artemis

PAHS first heard about Apollo and Artemis from a phone call: “I’ve found a cat with a dangling leg!” The caller caught the 2 cats and transported them to a veterinary hospital. Apollo had a critically broken leg, and the doctor decided to remove it.

He is recovering well, and he and his buddy enjoy long snuggling naps with their wonderful foster mom.

Miss Salty

Miss Salty

Susan, PAHS’ Veterinary & Outreach manager, received a call from a very distressed person concerning her rabbit, Miss Salty. Susan is also a licensed Humane Educator with House Rabbit Society, so this call was in a way miraculous. She immediately referred Miss Salty to Dr. Stern, a specialist at Exotic Pet Clinic of Santa Cruz. Miss Salty was admitted for an emergency spay and hospitalization. She survived and is now recovering at home.

Blanquita

Blanquita was literally taken off the streets. She was thin and had injured paws. Her foster mom has provided wonderful loving care, with many trips to the clinic to help Blanquita with her many health issues. She is looking and feeling much better!

Her care is funded by the ARF program, which supports animals under foster care

Max

Max had a broken paw and required surgery. Pictured with his doctor and veterinary technician at Burbank Pet Hospital in the first image, Max recovered fully.

He is a very happy boy now!

Paris

Paris had a large cyst on her neck. Her people qualified for Pet Help, which provides financial assistance. Paris underwent a successful surgery at Silicon Valley Pet Clinic.

“Paris came home and she’s doing fine. Again thank thank you very much!”

Pepper and Salt

Pepper and Salt were both neutered courtesy of the Spay & Neuter program. Their person cleverly designed these “collars” from paper plates, since the kittens were still small!

As you can see, they are happy and healthy!

Lucy

Lucy had a large mammary tumor. The doctor at Ark Veterinary Care did a great job with the operation, and Lucy recovered. Her surgery was approved by the Pet Help program.

Quote: “Thank You again for this. My mother is overjoyed! And grateful, we really thought we would lose Lucy Girl. Thank you soooo Much, and have a Merry Christmas , you’ve definitely helped with this miracle. “

Toby

Toby was admitted to Silicon Valley Pet Clinic with a life-threatening urethral blockage. He received immediate care and recovered. He is now on a prescription diet and specializes in long naps. The Pet Help program provided the financial assistance his people needed.

Mittens

Mittens literally walked out of shrubbery and a kind person scooped her up. PAHS scheduled a same-day appointment for the kitten. She was treated for a severe flea infestation. And, her rescuer kept her! She now lives a happy and safe life indoors.

Shino
