About Tamale

Tamale is a five-week-old kitten currently battling a severe upper respiratory infection that hasn't improved despite several rounds of medical treatment, including antibiotics, fluid support, and nebulization. Both Tamale and a sibling are struggling, requiring intensive round-the-clock medical and neonatal care to have a fighting chance. Right now, the shelter can't keep up with those demanding needs due to the number of kittens under their care. Tamale needs someone with experience and patience, willing to provide advanced support and constant monitoring through what may be a long road to recovery. This is a tough, high-stakes rescue—one for adopters or fosters who are ready for the reality of intensive kitten care. Your help could give Tamale a real shot at life.
