Saving Fiona's Life
Donation protected
Fiona stole my family's heart.
We became failed foster parents. Fiona, a beautiful gray tortie, was resident at Senior for Seniors USA , a lovely organization that had to close recently. The rescue scrambled to find adopters, especially for this cat. Fiona is skiddish and anxious, making her unable to live with other pets. Fearing that the 11 year old cat would never get a second chance at a forever home, we decided to take her in with the rescue closing.
Two weeks ago, Fiona was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. Her kidneys are becoming affected from the active thyroid and she has a heart murmur, too. Fiona also has a few teeth that need to be pulled. She will need to remove her thyroid and extract 3 teeth, along with blood work pre-and-post procedure.
Our family is going through some rough times, too, with our own health problems; so money has been tight. Luckily, we have found a "Low Cost, High Quality" Surgery Clinic, which has reduced the price signifcantly. Although this $930 surgery and dental procedure is much more affordable now, we are unable to pay the cost. Due to Fiona's deteriorating health, we are hoping to do the surgery within the next three months to preserve her heart and life (By the end of April 2018).
I cannot begin to describe how much of a Godsent Fiona is to our family. My 86 year old grandmother is wheelchair-bound and going through Phase 4 of Kidney Disease and dialysis. Fiona is her best friend and companion. My single mother has a shadow, Fiona follows her around the house as she works. Me? She's my best friend. I can't imagine my life without her, and it kills me to know that my kitty is suffering and in pain.
Please help us and Fiona. She is part of our family and has a long life ahead of her. She deserves the world. If you can, please donate to our cause to give Fiona the medical care that she needs. Also, if you are a vet or know a vet in MD that could do this procedure for free, let us know!
Thank you and God bless.
