Hello everyone,
I am writing this with a heavy but hopeful heart.
My cat Mika, my buddy and family member, has been seriously ill for several days and is currently fighting for his recovery in a specialized veterinary clinic.
It started suddenly: severe vomiting, complete refusal to eat or drink, and extreme weakness. Despite several visits to the vet, it soon became clear that something serious was wrong. Mika was admitted, given an IV, painkillers, and medication for nausea. Blood tests revealed abnormalities in his liver, a compromised immune system (low white blood cell count), and later also a fever.
Because his condition was complex and he was not improving, Mika was referred to a specialized veterinary clinic, where he is still staying.
What Mika is currently going through
- Multiple blood tests (including liver values, immune system, proteins)
- Ultrasounds of the liver, intestines, and other organs
- Admission to IV, with great caution because he also has a heart murmur
- Feeding tube, because he was unable to eat independently for days
- Medication for nausea, infection, and to support his liver
- Additional tests (including urine tests, plasma proteins, toxicology)
- Intensive follow-up, monitoring of fever and general condition
Although some things are improving slightly (he is tolerating feeding via the tube and is starting to lick small amounts voluntarily), there is still no clear diagnosis.
His intestines are barely functioning at the moment, which is a sign that something else is going on in his body. The vets continue to search for the underlying cause, while supporting him as best as they can.
Why I'm asking for help
I'm doing everything I can for Mika. He's currently receiving the best possible care, and he's a true fighter. But the reality is harsh: the costs are skyrocketing.
I don't have pet insurance, so all the costs are entirely out of my own pocket:
- hospitalization costs
- specialized tests
- IVs and tube feeding
- medication
- ultrasounds and lab tests
- possible further tests or long-term treatment
I would do anything for Mika and I will continue to do so, but financially, it's becoming very difficult to bear this alone.
How you can help
With this fundraiser, I hope to:
- cover current medical expenses
- continue to give Mika the chance to recover
- make decisions based on what is medically necessary, not on what is financially feasible
Every contribution, big or small, helps.
Sharing this campaign also means a tremendous amount.
Thank you for taking the time to read Mika's story.
Thank you for any support—financial, practical, or simply sharing your hopes.
With deep gratitude,
Ilham
For Mika
