Help Blondie get Dental Care!

On April 23, 2025, the person who had been feeding Blondie for 17 years made the choice to have a local TNR volunteer bring her cat into a local veterinary clinic to be euthanized. It was said that Blondie had had litters of kittens every year that would die or be born deceased.

Upon arrival, Blondie was determined to have pyometra and advanced gingivitis. She was not a candidate for euthanasia, so her caretaker decided to relinquish ownership. Blondie was provided with a life-saving spay that day and recovered overnight with a volunteer, who promised her a better life from here on.

Pyometra is a serious infection of the uterus that can be prevented by spaying female cats and dogs. Left untreated, pyometra will rupture and send the body into sepsis, leading to death. Treatment for pyometra is always a spay.

It was determined that Blondie has no teeth, except two canines, which are infected and will need to be removed. We have tested Blondie for Heartworm, FIV, and FeLV and she was negative for all three. We also provided Blondie with a full senior bloodwork panel (CBC, Chem 15, TT4), which showed an elevated white blood cell count, which was to be expected.

We expect Blondie to make a full recovery, but we need a little help from our community to provide her with much needed dental care and paying off $140 in invoices from bloodwork on her intake day.

We are fully committed to giving Blondie the life she deserves, even if she had to wait for 17 years.

You can also donate directly to Blondie by calling Alter Clinic Animal Care at [phone redacted].
