Help Skippy's Medical Bills!

Donation protected
Hello! My name is Rachel and I am Skippy's mama. Skippy was found as a stray kitten that was not walking. Turns out he has some birth defects that have affected his bone growth and what his doctors assume is a type of dwarfism. He is all of 4 lbs fully grown. He has chronic constipation and gas issues that are controlled with medication and a prescription diet. He has a daily regimen of medications to help with inflammation and pain management to keep him as comfortable as possible.

When I took him on as a medical foster, I did not know how long he was going to be with us. We didn't think he'd make it that week. Now, he is almost 2 years old! Unfortunately, as he grew, some of his bones have fused, making his mobility worse. We also try other approaches to improve his quality of life, such as acupuncture, laser therapy, etc.

Even though I work for an animal clinic, his medical bills are stacking up. He gets a prescription diet and a lot of medications and supplements. I don't have anywhere nearby that will help with physical therapy for cats, so I have to purchase some equipment on my own. I would use this funding for Skippy's bills and would love to get things like an Assisi Loop that have been suggested by his doctor. Unfortunately, those are out of my budget right now.

We would be eternally grateful for any amount donated, big or small. It will all go towards Skippy's medical costs. He brings myself and others so much joy and I just want to keep him as comfortable as possible for as long as he is here with me on Earth. Thank you for taking the time to read our story! ❤️
