Brownie

Brownie, a rescued kitten, was born with her eyes open, which

caused the corneas to pop. She is undergoing eye surgery, courtesy of

the Community Animal Network, to correct her eyelids and regenerate

her sight, said DiAnna Pfaff-Martin, founder of the nonprofit

organization.

Brownie will be available for adoption Thanksgiving weekend.

“Our organization is defined as a vet medical rescue that treats

animals, rather than euthanizing them for curable conditions, which

is unlike most other groups in Orange County,” she said. “This is why

your donations ‘CAN’ make such a difference in a local animal’s

life.”

The organization, which has seen the death of two animals from a

fatal disease, has also witnessed great progress with little

Buttercup, the kitten whose pelvis was fractured.

While recoveries like Buttercup’s are ideal, the goal of the

organization is to give every animal it encounters great care and

love. The organization is in constant need of donations and foster

homes to help them facilitate its rescue mission.
