Blessing's vet bill

Today we come to you with a heavy heart, and a reluctant plea for help

We need to pay a big vet bill for a specialist surgery for a kitten ‘Blessing’ who we tried to save but her little body was unable to make it.

A few weeks ago, we were contacted by our partner vet in Limerick about a small 3-month-old kitten who was found in a ditch and had difficulty walking. ‘Blessing’ was the sweetest little thing, so full of love and purrs but also in some pain. Her x-rays showed that she had a double hip fracture which was mostly likely caused by being hit by a car.

The treatment for this was a salvage surgery costing over €1,200 and we were understood that her small size and light weight made her an ideal candidate for this surgery.

So full of hope, CDPA agreed to help. We found an incredible local fosterer who smothered Blessing with so much love and affection until it was time for the operation.

When the vets opened her up, they realised she had a right-side inguinal hernia they had to repair first. However, not long before they started fixing this, Blessing stopped breathing. The vet immediately commenced CPR but despite their best efforts – Blessing passed away.

The shock of losing such a vibrant, happy and adorable kitten has left us devastated. Her loss has hit her fosterer hard, and we are all so very sad.

Unfortunately, Blessing's vet bill still needs to be paid so despite this tragic outcome, we are turning to you for help. We always knew we’d need to do a fundraiser but we never imagined it would be this.

Paying off this vet bill means that we chance on a future cat in need.

Please donate if you can.
