Two more emergencies. Two more beautiful souls who deserve full, happy lives.
Little Quasimodo has already shown us just how strong he is. After his tail amputation, he suffered a serious complication and began hemorrhaging so badly that he required an emergency blood transfusion. The ER team felt euthanasia was the only option, believing his surgical site wouldnāt properly close and could lead to a fatal bleed, with another surgery not possible. But after seeing Quasi stabilizeāand knowing what a determined little fighter he isāwe chose to bring him home and try some unconventional healing methods. Seven days post-transfusion, heās doing well, and while weāre still cautiously optimistic, weāre hopeful heās on the path to a full recovery.
Then thereās Snowstorm, a tiny 5-year-old girl who needed emergency surgery the moment she arrived. According to her previous owner, she had been leaking pus for weeksāa classic sign of pyometra, a life-threatening uterine infection. How she survived that long, we truly donāt know. Snowstorm weighed just 6 lb 12 oz before surgeryā¦ and the infected organ alone weighed nearly a full pound. Thatās about 15% of her body weightāan unimaginable amount of pain and pressure. š¤¢ Sheās now several days post-op, resting (as she absolutely deserves), and is expected to make a full recovery.
These are the cases that remind us why we do thisāwhy every late night, hard decision, and emotional rollercoaster is worth it. Thank you for standing with us as we fight for cats like Quasimodo and Snowstorm. š¾ā¤ļø
We know we just asked for donations, so we're just going to quietly add the fundraiser option here if you feel so inclined. The $3k blood transfusion invoice, as well as pyometra pictures (viewer discretion is advised if you are squeamish with medical stuff), are in comments.
Mostly, we just wanted to share a glimpse into the behind the scenes work we are doing every single day, so that you know that your support is literally saving cats like Quasimodo and Snowstorm.
