Sweet Kitty - Mr. Katt - Needs ER Surgery
Tax deductible
Sweet tabby boy Mr. Katt needs emergency surgery. This adorable senior has a history of urinary blockages and is having trouble going to the bathroom. Blockages are very serious and can cause kidney failure and death within 24-48 hours. When this lovable guy needed his family the most, instead of seeking vet care, they dumped him at the ACC-NYC shelter on (Katt #53334).
Due to the urgency of Mr. Katt’s condition, he was immediately placed at risk. With only minutes to spare, Ready For Rescue stepped in and gave this boy a chance.
Mr. Katt was rushed to Queens Animal Health, where he is receiving fluids and antibiotics and is urinating via a temporary catheter. However, this is painful and he is miserable. Considering his blockage history, and to avoid ever having to go through this again, Mr. Katt is scheduled for Perineal Urethrostomy surgery (a.k.a.PU surgery) tomorrow, Wednesday, January 30th. Urinary obstruction has various causes and is oftentimes seen in male cats, especially obese cats (Mr. Katt is a hearty 18 pounds!), since males have a small urethra. PU surgery, simply put, involves opening the urethra to allow more room for urination.
His surgery is estimated to be $2000 and we (and Mr. Katt) need your help. Ready For Rescue routinely takes in cats and dogs from ACC’s Emergency Pleas and At Risk List, animals that would otherwise be euthanized. Many of these animals need extensive medical vetting with high costs. Please help Ready For Rescue help Mr. Katt with his long overdue surgery and aftercare. No amount is too small and all donations are tax deductible and greatly appreciated.
Following Mr. Katt’s surgery, he will also need an experienced and loving cat foster. This boy needs a home where he can both physically and emotionally heal, and where he feels safe and loved again. In his previous home, Mr. Katt was a friendly, affectionate, and confident cat. He greeted strangers, was relaxed and playful with children, and got along with both cats and dogs. At home, he enjoyed catnips toys, played fetch, and slept on his owner’s bed. And despite his urinary issues, he always used his litter box, ever the true gentleman. If you can offer Mr. Katt a foster home, please contact Ready For Rescue at [email redacted] Thank you to everyone for caring and sharing! And Meow from Mr. Katt.
