Please help save our kittens!
We have 3 cats and we suddenly have to pay an emergency vet bill for all 3 to save their lives after ingesting lilies.
This month has been extremely difficult, our family got covid and we lost both our grandparents to the disease on April 20th. We are trying to handle their affairs and are still grieving and have to pay off their memorial service and other things they left behind.
A well meaning family friend sent us flowers which included lilies and all 3 of our cats got into the vase, ingesting the petals.
For those that don't know lilies are extremely toxic to cats and will cause acute renal (kidney) failure and death if not treated immediately. All 3 are with the vet now but are recommending overnight care for the weekend for all of them so they can continue to monitor their kidney values and give them the care they need.
Unfortunately the bill is too much for us to handle on top of everything else and we desperately need help to save them. The vet estimate came out to $3000 per cat for overnight care for 3 days to monitor them and give supportive care to keep their kidneys from failing.
Elsa is the oldest of our 3, she is a 3 yr old domestic long hair cat that we have had since she was 5 weeks old. We rescued her as a baby with a severe upper respiratory infection when she was running across 3 lanes of busy traffic.
Sophie and Zoe are our youngest, they are siblings from a litter we rescued that was abandoned and starving after their mother disappeared for several days and never returned. They are both about 10 months old and we found them as 2 week old kittens and had to bottle feed them every 2-3 hrs until they were big enough to wean. Sophie is all black and Zoe is black and white.
All 3 cats have been the lights of our lives at home. We can't imagine life without them and can't bare to lose them as well with everything that is going on in our lives. All 3 are amazing and super friendly, they love people and are more like dogs, they follow us everywhere and cuddle with us when we sleep.
Please consider helping us afford to save our babies. Anything would help, if you can't donate please consider sharing.
