Help Baby Kitty Get Life-Saving Surgery



This is Gigi, better known as Baby Kitty.  She is only 10 months old.  She's a sweet, soft, lovey kitty.  But she is also adventurous, mischievious, and everywhere at once!  Just this past Tuesday, May 20th 2014, I noticed that she was bleeding.  I called around to a couple of clinics trying to get her in that night, because I just knew something was very wrong.  After bloodwork and an x-ray, it  turns out she has an infection in her utuerus, which is causing it to fill with blood and pus.  It's a serious infection that requires a specialized spay surgery which is going to cost at least triple as much as a normal spay.  Because there is infection, numerous antibiotics as well as different anesthesia will need to be used to remove the uterus without getting the infection into her blood or the rest of her body.  She is on amoxicillin right now to keep it at bay until I can afford surgery.
The problem is just a few short months ago, I had to put down another sweet kitten I had adopted.  He was just 7 months old, and his name was Rigby.

He suddently fell ill one Thursday morning, and after lots of diagnostic tests, he was determined to have FIP a fatal disease in cats.  He became increasing anemic despite being given antibiotics and steroids.  He deteriorated rapidly and two weeks later had to be put down.  All of these expenses maxed out my Care Credit card, which totaled over 600 dollars from all of the blood draws, tests, medication, and ultimately euthanization expenses.  I was hearbroken.
Now I am completely without any Care Credit, or any credit cards for that matter and none of the vets are willing to participate in a payment plan for Baby Kitty's surgery and I do not have the lump sum available to me to pay for it.  I can't lose another kitten that I absolutely love, and that my girls absolutely love.  She fits right in with our family, and her siblings Polly and Paws love her too.   She needs this surgery soon so the infection doesn't spread.  Please, we would be so grateful for any help anyone can give to save this sweet little kitten.
