Help Kitty Fight for Her Quality of Life

Kitty is my sweet 14-year-old girl who has been by my side for so many years. She’s still full of love, enjoys her food and treats, and clearly wants to keep fighting—but she needs help.

About three months ago, Kitty started losing strength in her legs occasionally after jumping. We did X-rays and found she has arthritis, so she was given Solensia to help. After her second Solensia shot, everything changed—she could no longer walk normally and was stuck crawling on her front legs. I tried gabapentin to help with pain, but now she’s having trouble controlling her bladder. She is currently on day 10 of prednisolone and still haven't seen any improvement.

The issue seems to be in the middle of her back, but I don’t know if it’s a tumor, a disc problem, or a reaction to the medication. We even visited a neurologist and tried steroids, but they didn’t help. An MRI could give answers, and if possible, I would love to do one—but it costs around $6,000, which is far beyond what I can afford. On top of that, Kitty has renal insufficiency, which makes anesthesia even riskier. My main focus right now is improving her mobility and quality of life. She can still move her legs and tail, and I’m trying to help her regain muscle in her legs through physical therapy and supportive care.

I love my cats deeply and have spent and even borrowed money as we’ve gone back and forth to the vet’s office trying to help her. But now, I need help. I want to try physical therapy and other treatments to give her the best chance. If these efforts don’t work, I want to have funds set aside to let her go peacefully when the time comes. This is about giving her comfort and dignity—because she’s still happy, still eating, and still fighting.

Please consider helping us with this one last fight. Every donation will go toward:

Physical therapy sessions

Medications or supportive care

Emergency euthanasia and aftercare if needed

MRI if enough funds are raised

Anything you can give will make a difference for Kitty. Thank you for reading her story and for caring about her journey.
