Help Us Cover Life-Saving Care for Momo

Momo, a sweet 8-month old kitten, was found abandoned in a basket at just 3 pounds, freezing, starving, and infected with parasites. When we first found him, we weren’t sure he was going to make it through the night, but he was determined to live and our rescue was just as determined to save him.

After Momo’s initial recovery, we began noticing concerning new symptoms—rapid, labored breathing, along with focal seizures that we initially thought might be related to PTSD from his traumatic past. In an effort to find answers, we had him tested for a range of conditions, including FIP, a liver shunt, heart issues, and lung diseases. Thankfully, all of these were ruled out, but this still left us without a clear explanation for his symptoms and of course, lots of vet bills.

Momo’s primary vet recommended we take him to a neurologist for further evaluation, but after a thorough exam and more diagnostics, she also wasn't able to make a clear diagnosis or explanation for his symptoms. Unfortunately, a few weeks later, he starting having grand mal seizures, and despite a prescription for daily Keppra, he was soon having them in clusters and had to be admitted to the hospital.

During this stay, he was prescribed Phenobarbital, in hopes of better managing his seizures and while he hasn't had a grand mal seizure in a couple weeks, the focal seizures continue.

While Momo's health has been a rollercoaster, and the expenses more than we can manage, he is so lucky to be in a safe and loving foster home with two amazing foster moms who care for him around the clock. Despite this, he still needs critical care to manage his seizures, so that we can get him healthy enough for adoption.

Cat rescue is 100% volunteer-based, and the only way we can save lives like Momo’s is with the help of compassionate people like you. Thank you from the bottom of our heart for being part of Momo's story and his recovery. We are so grateful for your generosity!

We will continue to update you on Momo’s journey as he recovers. Your kindness and support make all the difference, and every donation, no matter the size, helps us get one step closer to Momo’s full recovery.
