Hi Kitty Kitty

CT scan and treatment for Baby.

*Please make sure your volume is up when you watch the video posted. 




Although this is a tough time for everyone, we are desperate to help make at least one miracle happen this holiday season. Please say hi to Baby, who is the kitty in the video. Baby is a beautiful 1 year old who started her life by being abandoned as a kitten by her family. Like all abandoned cats, Baby deserved better. But, in Baby's case, she has also developed a respiratory problem that has gotten worse over time despite conventional treatment.  Both vets that she has seen are mystified and agree that she needs a CT scan to diagnose and treat whatever is causing her to struggle and fight for every breath. They suspect that she has a polyp in her airway that needs to be located and surgically removed, and the only was to confirm and treat is through a CT scan. She is a beautiful young thing with a will to live, but she won't live to see another year unless we can get her the help she needs. 


Baby is part of the large family of rescues at Hi Kitty Kitty (a 501c3 rescue located in Chicago) I am currently fostering her in my home so I can devote extra time, attention, and daily medical treatment to her while we try to find a way to try to raise the money needed to save Baby's life. I can't describe how heartbreaking it is to hear her struggle to breathe every minute of the day- even when she's sleeping- but seeing this kitten play, and eat, and fight to stay alive makes us committed to doing whatever we can. The videos I’m showing you last only few seconds, imagine that 24 hours a day. Could you imagine that ?


We have reached out to specialists, teaching veterinary colleges, and everywhere we can to try to see who might be able to do this surgery at a discounted rate, since Hi Kitty Kitty is an IRS registered non-for-profit rescue. Unfortunately, the estimates start at $2,200, so we are making this our target goal and hoping that we can work out a payment plan for any shortfall. 


 

I know we all have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, but  It won't take too much to have a positive impact and help this kitty with the medical treatment  if we all help out. Please help us give this kitty a chance of a happy healthy life. 


 EVERY DOLLAR RAISED HERE WILL BE USED FOR HER MEDICAL TREATMENT. 


Thank you kindly.

Hi Kitty Kitty is a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt non profit animal rescue serving the Chicagoland area . You can find more information about the shelter at www.hikittykitty.com. I have been volunteering at the shelter for six years.

In an apartment given for her use by her sister, with help from many volunteers and her boyfriend Tim, and with her own hard-earned money, Jasmine Khan runs the shelter Hi Kitty Kitty for abandoned cats by herself. The shelter is full of well cared-for cats, all healthy and active. The space is small and crowded and it looks very simple. But you immediately feel the love Jasmine has for the cats, the devotion with which she runs the place and you fall victim to its charm. I adopted two wonderful cats Layla and Noah. Jasmine and Tim continue their attention to the cats as they have been by my house several times to bring special food for one of the cats when she would not eat. I have read a lot of negative reviews that seem to have been placed by people who were not allowed to adopt. Jasmine and Tim are very careful and make sure the cats will have a good home, that they will not be declawed or be in harm's way in any manner. So when you go to adopt, please understand that the goal of Hi Kitty Kitty is to find a good home for every cat. Jasmine is ready to keep them for as long as it takes to find a good home for them as it is a no-kill shelter. I wish her all the very best!!
Let us raise some money to help Jasmine continue her selfless work and find homes for more cats.
