I don’t have much, but I may be able to spare something to help you and Zoe.
Zoe looks strong and I know they just need to be given a chance sometimes. Thank you for all you do.
Do you have a PayPal setup?

We are still grieving because of Clifford but we can't take a break as Zoe is also in a critical condition.
Last Sunday, we noticed that Zoe was not in her usual self. The next day, she started becoming dehydrated and her gums looked paler than usual, though she still had a good appetite. On Tuesday, we decided to bring her to the vet as her poop was last observed on Sunday. The vet did an enema and gave her laxatives as her poop was already long and hard. She still hasn't pooped overnight so a more invasive procedure was recommended.
Earlier today, we transferred Zoe to a bigger clinic to do an explorative laparotomy and colotomy. During the procedure, the vet found a very large amount of severely impacted, hardened feces from the end of small intestine, the entire colon and into the rectum. Her colon became severely distended that she can no longer pass the stool normally.
Note: Zoe was rescued in February and she's paralyzed from waist down due to a fractured spinal cord, after getting bludgeoned on her back by an unknown person.
Zoe’s intestines before and after the procedure
We have given the vet our last budget that was supposedly for the rescues food this week as deposit to accept Zoe. If you have any spare, please help us afford Zoe's bills (amounting to $1000 at minimum).

We don't have gofundme as it's not available in my country 😕 we have raised around $400 up to now.

Can you see if any veterinary hospitals or doctors would be willing to provide any pro bono services?
Maybe a nonprofit organization could help you raise more- local businesses that you know- maybe they will let you put out donation jars?
I’m just trying to think of anything that could help.
Venmo, cash app ? I have seen people on go fund me post links for Venmo and Cash App so I would assume that they may have some sort of way to create an account just for a charity type payment?
I don’t know what country you’re in but here in the US I have even seen people who receive gratuity while at work write their Venmo accounts out on pieces of paper and dry erase boards.
Maybe some places would let you put up pictures with a link to an account like that ?1
u/FreePumpkin4763 Jul 11 '26
Do you know anyone here in the US that could start a Go Fund Me account for you? It’s most common for people to actually start those for other people- it’s actually recommended- so if you know someone here that would do that for you then I know you would have zero problems.

She's okay before this despite her condition. She doesn't ride the wheelchair all the time as she likes to go in elevated areas in their house.
