Many of them came right to the front of the cage for head boops and attention. Among the group is a mother cat with seven kittens who have already been placed in a foster home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cats received exams from Second Chance Shelter Veterinarian Dr. Jackie Celmer and her team, who began the process of updating vaccinations and identifying those in need of further medical treatment. \u00a0Two underweight kittens and a pregnant mom will also be heading into foster care, while twelve cats are being treated for upper respiratory infections. The rest will soon be scheduled for spay and neuter surgeries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this many cats, the medical care quickly adds up. these cats require hundreds of vaccines, two weeks of medication for upper respiratory infections, and specialized care for underweight and pregnant cats. They also need foster care, food, litter, and daily staff support. Based on initial examinations, the total cost is expected to exceed $18,000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re asking for the <a href=\"https:\/\/givebutter.com\/52cats\">community\u2019s support to defray this large expense<\/a> and also, once they are ready for adoption, to adopt these wonderful cats.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/givebutter.com\/52cats\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44847 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Donate-Now.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"141\" height=\"35\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Donate-Now.png 141w, https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Donate-Now-50x12.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 141px) 100vw, 141px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_53092\" style=\"width: 185px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/givebutter.com\/52cats\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53092\" class=\"wp-image-53092\" src=\"https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250615_083347-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"175\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250615_083347-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250615_083347-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250615_083347-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250615_083347-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250615_083347-38x50.jpg 38w, https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250615_083347-650x867.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250615_083347-1000x1333.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250615_083347-50x67.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.secondchanceanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250615_083347-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 175px) 100vw, 175px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-53092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Puddles, one of the tiniest of the rescue weighing in at just 1.5 lbs, is being treated for a painful abscess.<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contributions can also be made through the Second Chance Facebook page, or by mail to Second Chance, 111 Young Road, East Brookfield, MA 01515.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know this pet owner truly cared for these animals but sometimes compassion alone isn\u2019t enough.
