MEET MIKE TYSON — THE FIGHTER WHO WON HIS BIGGEST BATTLE Some animals arrive at the shelter simply needing a new home. Others arrive needing someone to fight for them. Mike Tyson needed an entire community in his corner. When Mike first came into our care, he was feral, injured, terrified, and unsure of the people around him. He wasn’t a cat who immediately understood that hands could be gentle, people could be safe, or that he didn’t have to face everything alone anymore. On top of being frightened, Mike was dealing with a significant injury that ultimately required emergency surgery and extensive aftercare. And that’s when something pretty incredible happened. Our community stepped into the ring with him. When we asked for help covering Mike’s emergency medical expenses, donations started coming in. What made his story even more meaningful wasn’t one or two huge donations that saved the day — it was $3 here, $5 there, and countless people deciding that this little cat they’d never met was worth helping. Those small donations added up. They helped pay for his emergency surgery. They helped provide his aftercare. They helped save Mike Tyson. But medical care was only one part of…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
