Give Jelly a chance at a healthy happy life!

Hi, my name is Shiloh Colon. I recently adopted a sweet senior cat named Jelly from a local animal shelter. She’s 11 years old, born on October 12, 2013, and weighs just under 10 pounds. I brought Jelly home with the hopes of giving her a loving, peaceful life — helping her manage her weight and enjoy her golden years in comfort and care.

Unfortunately, things took a difficult turn almost immediately after adoption.

Within days, Jelly became lethargic, barely eating, and developed chronic diarrhea. She spends most of her time curled up in one spot, only getting up occasionally. I took her to the vet as soon as I could, and the visit revealed heartbreaking news: Jelly is showing signs of early kidney disease. She urgently needs IV fluids, ongoing monitoring, and follow-up care to manage her condition — but these costs are adding up fast.

Her first vet bill was several hundred dollars, which I had to borrow from a friend just to cover. I was told by the shelter that she was in good health and ready for adoption. Sadly, that was not the case — and when I reached out to them for help, they refused to assist in any way.

Despite all of this, I am not giving up on Jelly. She is a sweet, gentle soul who deserves love, safety, and the best possible care in her final years. Giving her back to the shelter is not an option — she deserves better than that.

I’m asking for help to give Jelly a fighting chance. Any donation, no matter how small, will go toward her medical expenses, medications, special food, and the ongoing treatment she needs to feel better. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this post — it truly means the world to both of us.

Thank you for reading and supporting Jelly on her journey to healing. ❤️
