See the impact your donations have on our rescue animals and follow their recovery journey with us. So many of these wonderful animals are filled with love and hope because of YOU.
Although not every journey is perfect or fully complete, we celebrate every step taken to prove these animals are worthy of their second chance at life. Here are this week’s CUDDLY LIVE Instagram updates.
Albert – Good World Animal Rescue & Protection

Graphic: Gentle Giant Almost Mauled After Humans Exile Him By Beating Him With Bats
Despite the challenges he has faced, Albert continues to make steady strides towards recovery. While his progress may be slow, he is undoubtedly on the right track, and the improvements are becoming more noticeable with each passing day.
Albert’s physical condition is quite far from OK and he’s still extremely weak, his eye is gradually returning to a more natural position. The continuous draining procedures have played a crucial role in improving his appearance and overall well-being. Although there is still some infection remaining, the treatment sessions scheduled ahead will help us further address this issue. We are optimistic that Albert will continue to make positive strides in his healing journey.
In addition to the physical improvements, Albert’s mood is also showing signs of upliftment. He now waggles his tail in excitement whenever the rescue team members come to visit him. Their presence brings him comfort and joy, reminding him that he is surrounded by caring individuals who are committed to his well-being.
Despite these positive developments, it’s important to note that Albert’s treatment and recovery process will still require a significant amount of time. He remains under constant monitoring in the hospital, where his medical team works tirelessly to ensure his stability. Continuous temperature monitoring, administration of IV fluids, provision of antibiotics, and appropriate pain relief are all part of the comprehensive care plan designed to support his recovery.
Please find attached a few pictures of Albert, showcasing the remarkable progress he has made thus far. We hope these images bring a smile to your face and further reinforce the incredible difference your support is making in Albert’s journey towards healing.
Thank you for your unwavering support and compassion!
Kirby – Mutty Paws Rescue

Unseen & Unnoticed—Fading More & More Each Day, Emotionally & Physically
Kirby is still hospitalized but doing as well as expected. He is expected to be discharged by this weekend and will be in need of a foster. A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated towards the emergency surgery they each needed. They are on the road to recovery thanks to YOU. Our village is truly amazing in every single way
Talti – Stray Beautiful

Children Mercilessly Throw Puppy Off Roof of Building
First I want to express my sincerest thank you for your amazing generosity for Tatli! You can’t imagine how much this means to us to be able to give this pup a fighting chance! Your help means more to us then words can express!💖
And we have good news our little Tatli is out of the ICU and eating on his own. His vital signs are all much better and he is standing as well for short periods with help but struggles to get up on his own. He is still very weak and his head is tilted still but we hope this will get better in time.
We won’t know the long term effects of his brain swelling but he is young and strong and we are praying for him to heal! But he will be in the clinic for at least another week. We are praying for no long term effects. Please stay tuned for more updates as I will send as soon as I get them! And please continue to send your prayers for this pup!🙏
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!
Albert – The Opossum’s Pouch Sanctuary, Rescue and Rehabilitation

GRAPHIC: Innocent Life, Almost Stripped Away—Violently Beaten w/ a Shovel
Albert had his last vet visit (we hope) on Friday. Dr. Tope feels the skin that is left a bit loose will slowly heal 😊 He has a little pucker of skin we have to watch in case of food pockets there… we will flush it out.
This is not the best-looking supper, however, Albert finishes every bit of it. He’s a little messy but it doesn’t slow him up. I spent hours cooking different foods, adding some vitamins, and bone broth then whipping them up in a Nutribullet.
His dessert is a choice of healthy yogurts with formula. This is a lot of food but this boy has one healthy appetite. He hasn’t mastered solid foods yet and we are not sure he ever will. However, I’m going to make him different flavors of his main courses so he won’t be bored with them… He’s loved and will always be pampered!
He’s had many vet visits but is always a sweet boy. Now he can settle in and know he has a safe place, never to be harmed again
Momo – Soltis Hope Street Animal Rescue

Baby Monkey Was Almost Sold Off To The Highest Bidder After His Mother Was Likely Murdered
Baby Momo is sooo sweet, he’s like a little human! We are so appreciative of all the love and support we have received so far for Momo. That being said, we still are very much in need of funds and supplies. If you can, please consider donating and sharing. We are especially in need of supplies such as blankets and snuggley toys! Thank you for your consideration and generosity.
Bagel – Good World Animal Rescue & Protection

Innocent Homeless Dog Brutally Attacked While Asleep, Plagued by Deadly Facial Infection
Following extensive testing, urgent care, and a biopsy, the news is both positive and challenging. The biopsy results reveal that Bagel does NOT have cancer, which is a major relief.
His nose however has been severely affected by the infection, and restoring the damaged tissue will require a complicated plastic surgery on both his rotten bone and then tissue. Considering Bagel’s overall health, including his heart condition, the primary veterinarian has advised caution and recommended seeking a second opinion from a specialized clinic. The doctors at recommended clinic have expertise in complex surgical procedures and will assess Bagel’s case thoroughly.
In the meantime, Bagel is receiving antibiotics and intravenous fluids to combat the infection to keep him as comfortable as possible. Our dedicated team is doing everything they can to ensure Bagel receives the best care and attention while gaining some healthy weight for his necessary treatments. Despite his suffering, he remains a tough cookie, and we believe he will overcome this obstacle. Your continued donations are vital in covering the costs of Bagel’s medical treatment, including consultations, medications, and future surgeries.
THANK YOU for your compassion and generosity! More updates to come. Please consider donating. This is a very long medical road for Bagel.
Darcy – ThisisHouston

Five Month Old Has Her Leg Severed Off & Her Body Broken In Horrific Nightmare
Darcy was finally discharged from the ER today!! Her foster mom took her home where all the goodies from her wishlist were waiting for her. She’s getting adjusted to her new environment and then they’ll open all her gifts together.
The first 2-3 weeks will be pretty important, especially in determining her quality of life. She’s not just a tripod — she’s got a fractured humerus in her front leg that was recently repaired but she cannot bend that arm at all, and chances of her regaining full use of it are slim. She’s also got a compression fracture in her back and a potentially torn ACL. The ACL and back fractures are things that can heal over time, but we’ll see how Darcy adjusts to her new life. If it’s obviously too much for her, we will reassess our decision.
We believe lots of good things are in store for Darcy, as long as she’s comfortable and seems like she’s able to adjust to her new life. Thank you all for helping us fund her care and for helping us spoil her. She’s deserving of all the good things!
