Guardian Angel Fund
The Guardian Angel Fund makes miracles happen. Homeless animals with special needs are too often the ones left behind. The time, cost of care, and resources required can make it very difficult for most shelters to care for the ones who need it the most. SICSA's Guardian Angel Fund specifically helps adoptable animals become adoptable, with the generous help from people like you in our community. These animals are worthy of our help and love, and SICSA gives them another chance at finding a loving, forever home. Your gift provides care for the animals that need it the most.

Midnight's Story
Four-year-old Midnight came to SICSA suffering from intense pain. Dr. Roth, our veterinarian, quickly determined that Midnight had such severe allergies, that he had developed a serious medical condition known as stenotic ear canals. This meant that Midnight’s ears had become inflamed and thickened so much, that it was blocking normal air and fluid flow in and out of his canals. This painful blockage caused Midnight’s ears to fill with bacteria, fungus, yeast, and tissue build up that had spread to his middle ear causing, not just an inner ear infection, but had also totally collapsed his ear canals and ruptured his tender ear drums. This was causing Midnight incredible, unbearable pain in his young life.
The first surgery to repair his right ear took place in July at MedVet, costing $5,024. The surgeon said that “Midnight’s ears (were) the worst” he had ever seen. Midnight’s recovery hasn’t been an easy one. Midnight suffered partial facial paralysis and vertigo due to the nerves near his canal and the regulatory properties of his ears. But with the diligent care of our medical staff, the loving care of his foster, and generous Guardian Angels watching over him; Midnight’s medical concerns are being resolved, and his happily ever after is just a few “pages” away.

Giving SICSA Guardianship of Pets
Many friends of the SICSA Pet Adoption Center who choose to make charitable contributions by bequest to the Center also ask about the possibility of entrusting their pet(s) to the care of SICSA after their death.
While SICSA’s first recommendation is to identify a trusted and willing friend or family member to care for your pet after your death, we recognize that this alternative is not always available. Therefore, the board and management of SICSA have adopted the following guidelines to help pet owners as they prepare their wills and consider their charitable giving.
