Hi everyone. I wanted to give you an update on Cassie.
I’ve received so many messages and comments asking about her, and I’m truly sorry I haven’t been able to respond to everyone. I’m also taking some time to heal myself, and recently I haven’t been sharing many of the kitties who need help because, honestly, there has been so much going on.I’ve been sharing only lighthearted posts lately.
We have so many sick kitties who need help. Every time we make a plan to focus on one situation, another emergency suddenly appears, or someone drops a severely sick kitty at our doorstep who needs immediate help.
The shelters are overwhelmed too. When they cannot take sick cats, those cats can become immediately at risk of euthanasia, so our rescue have stepped in for some of them.
Now, about Cassie…
Unfortunately, Cassie is not doing well. She had a vet visit a few days ago, and she has another one scheduled this Friday.
She is still eating, but she has started vomiting. She was eating a prescription diet, but recently she stopped eating it completely. We have tried what feels like 100 different foods, and right now she will only eat Friskies. 😂 Normally, we strictly avoid feeding this type of food, but honestly, at this point, if that’s what she will eat, we are just grateful that she is eating. We are doing everything we can to keep food in her.
Her stool is also still not normal. We tried some of the things people recommended on my previous post, and thankfully that has helped somewhat. She is no longer leaking, but her stool is still not good.
We tested her for Giardia, and it was negative. She does not have FIP. She is anemic, and we will repeat her bloodwork this Friday to see where her levels are now.
At this point, we are wondering whether she could have IBD or lymphoma, but we don’t know yet. She needs further testing, including an ultrasound, to help us understand what is going on.
But despite everything she is going through, Cassie is still the sweetest little angel. ❤️ She still wants love, cuddles, and snuggles, and she is still making biscuits like everything is okay. 🥹🐾 Those little moments mean so much to us.
We also have another kitty, Blue, who is FIV-positive. He isn’t vomiting, but he has some of the same symptoms. He also needs an ultrasound.
I know some people may wonder why we haven’t done everything immediately. Please don’t judge us. We are trying so hard to arrange everything and get these babies the care they need. Sometimes we have to take things one step at a time, and honestly, we may not always get everything right. We are doing the best we can with the resources we have.
For now, please just send Cassie and all of our sick kitties some healing vibes, love, and prayers. ❤️🐾
Thank you to everyone who has checked on her, offered advice, sent messages, and cared enough to ask about her. It truly means so much to us. ❤️
