Hi, my name is Maple, but when I’m naughty they call me by my full name Miss Maple Bacon. This fundraiser is to support my mom Megan, as she navigates these scary times with my medical bills. 

I was recently adopted and am the sweetest, tiniest 10 week old calico sphynx kitten. The stars seemed to have aligned, it was perfect timing for Megan’s friend Shelby in Phoenix AZ to take care of me for a few weeks until I could fly to Dallas TX to meet my mom. Everything was going great with new bestie Shelby, but then one day I stuck my paw under the bathroom door and got a boo boo from one of her doggies. Accidents happen. After a rushed trip to the ER, I got a fancy paper plate cone and a few sutures. I looked like a grandma in my sweater and peg leg cast…




In the days following, the antibiotics and pain meds made me feel yucky and I started to crash. When they took me back to the hospital my temperature was super low and I was pretty dehydrated. They poked and prodded me, and after initial scares of a possible liver shunt or hyperglycaemia, all were ruled out, and I was ready and healthy enough to go home after 3 days. 

But then I got constipated! And that’s been the latest struggle of me, Maple, the itty bitty shitty kitty. Since then I’ve struggled to poop, have had several enemas, IV’s, overnight stays and X-rays to find out what’s wrong. They don’t know why, and are worried it may be a congenital issue that I may need surgery on. But because of my size and age my options aren’t great. 

I have now been transferred to a different ER vet clinic so that an internal medicine specialist can hopefully help the shit-u-ation. 

Looking at me, I’m still super active, playing with my big brother and purring the day away. Which makes this really hard on my mom, both emotionally and financially.  My mom did say she’s never cried about poop so much in her life before. Which is where I am hoping other people might be able to help, even with small donations, so that my doctors and mom can continue to help me feel better. 

If you are unable to donate, my mom 100% understands and hopes that instead you please feel free to make a wish upon a shooting star, send prayers or happy thoughts our way. Everything is appreciated.
