A stray mama cat (Syldra) who visits me gave birth on 3/24/26 to 4 kittens (two girls—Mog and Eiko—and two boys—Kupo and Stiltzkin, all named after FINAL FANTASY IX characters). They all had URI's and eye infections. With help from others, I was able to medicate them for both issues. However, Eiko's eyes retained a cloudy, glazed look. I was able to get her to the vet and they prescribed her some more medicine. However, I can't afford the new medicine and her eyes are getting worse (the infection is coming back—or more likely hadn't cleared up 100% and is now back since I ran out of medicine).
I need help getting her the much-needed medication (Terramycin, Ofloxacin, and Cidofovir Ophthalmic). She also needs a followup visit to the vet on May 4, 2026. I need help paying that as well.
Additionally, Mama Syldra has teeth/gum issues (good chance it's stomatitis which may require medication and/or teeth extraction) and really dirty ears (likely ear mites). She and her babies also need a checkup for FIV, FeLV, etc. and any other issues. Funds for Mama Syldra's care aren't an immediate need but it should still be done soon enough, and any funds that are donated and exceed what is needed for Eiko (and/or her siblings if needed) will go towards caring for her. And of course, getting her and her babies spayed/neutered. But the immediate need is for Eiko's eyes. If not treated, she will lose her vision and may even lose her eyes, or even her life if the eye ruptures or infection spreads.
She's a very sweet girl (they're all sweet) and can get through this easily but we just need the funds for the medication/treatment. Any help is greatly appreciated!
