Problems Never Come Singly

When it rains, it pours… Alethe had her surgery last week and is in dire need of help!

She was brought to the shelter in the summer of 2012, together with her five newborn kittens which were just a couple of days old, after she gave birth in a pizzeria and almost ended up being kicked out into the street. Bone skinny and exhausted at the beginning, she has gained a lot of weight since then and has lived happily for two and a half years, until she began to strain while urinating in February. 

She has been on the Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Urinary SO food since then and receiving antibiotics for weeks now, but her problems had just seemed to grow bigger. Besides losing weight and getting lethargic, she recently started to growl whenever she peed and an UV exam revealed a huge bladder stone that needed to be removed urgently. 

Alethe’s surgery was done a week ago and a big coarse stone around 15 mm long was finally removed. 

It had undoubtedly been causing her horrible pain for quite some time and had even caused a cyst in her bladder where it had been rubbing against the bladder wall. She is looking much more cheerful now, but the costs of the surgery itself, multiple UV scans, antibiotics, pain management medication, post-operative care and regular vet checkups during her recovery will round up to 250 euros. 

Please, help this sweet kitty girl bounce back and make a happy ending possible!
