Help Nova the kitten
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Emily. I am doing this fundraiser for my friends Rhian and Ben’s nearly 4 month old kitten. Nova and his brother Spark were rescued from a cat rescue in Manchester 7 weeks ago. They are boisterous boys and love a good play fight. A couple of weeks ago, Rhian and Ben noticed Nova had a wound that he kept scratching. Assuming it was from play fighting, they put a cone on nova and separated them to let the wound heal. When he went to his vets for a check up, they diagnosed ringworm and gave Nova some anti fungal medication. On Sunday 22nd Rhian was awoken by a soggy Nova at 5am. He was covered in blood from a tiny nick in his ear where he’d been trying to get his cone off. After unsuccessfully attempting to stem the bleed, Ben rushed Nova to the out of hours vets. He had the wound dressed and it was hoped that would be the end of it. But by evening, Nova was bleeding through his bandage. Another mad dash to vets and Nova was kept in. He had bled so much he required a blood transfusion and they glued his ear. Now he has managed to catch the other ear which has also bled out despite the fact he was still at the vets. The vets now believe Nova has sarcoptic mange rather than ringworm. We are just waiting to see if Nova is going to be needing another transfusion. The last resort will be having a part of each ear amputated. His insurance only covers to £3000 and has unfortunately been maxed out just with the treatment he’s had already. Please help save this beautiful kitten if you can. We will really appreciate it. I have attached some figures from the vets of what we are looking at currently
