Help Uncle Jack!

This is Uncle Jack, one of the many cats rescued by Hidden Treasures Adoption Center. He had been living outside as a stray in New Britain, Connecticut, for about a year. He had a number of serious medical issues that were not addressed until he was rescued.

At just five years old, Uncle Jack had a polyp in his ear that ruptured his eardrum, leading to a chronic ear infection which has gone into his skull and the tympanic bulla of his middle ear. He has had a number of vet visits, and is currently on expensive medication to try to get rid of the infection. Uncle Jack will require an ablation surgery (very costly) if the infection does not resolve. He has a limp from an injury to his left elbow, which requires monthly laser treatments to heal. He also has chronic inflammation in his nasal passage due to damage from previous infections, which causes very heavy breathing. Our veterinarian is in the process of trying several different medications to try to resolve the inflammation and improve his breathing. So far, his vet bills have exceeded $2,500, which has been a serious drain on our finances.

Uncle Jack has come a long way, but he still has a lot of upcoming expensive vet appointments to ensure he continues to improve. Hidden Treasures relies solely on donations to give every rescued cat a fighting chance. Please consider donating so we can continue to give Uncle Jack the care he needs.
