The Artemis Project hasn't added a story.
Meet Matilda. She's a pretty orange/white cat about 10 years old.
She's spent her life in a basement. Sometimes workmen fed her,
sometimes they abused her, sometimes they just neglected her. They
even kicked her now and then.
Recently, the building got a new owner. He wanted the cat OUT.
Jennifer took pity and brought her in to Artemis. Matilda arrived
skinny and disheveled. She passed much of her physical exam with
flying colors - all but her liver.
Matilda got an ultrasound. Nothing showed up. We did a liver
biopsy.
Matilda had a condition which if left untreated could
result in cancer.
She was put on 3 different liver meds. Trouble is, animal abuse
is
the gift that keeps on giving. Matilda can purr when pet,
then turn
and attack. Staff had a lot of trouble pilling her, so
her meds were put in her food. Since Matilda's liver values continued
to fall, we think maybe she didn't get all the meds. Matilda continued
to be erratic in her behavior - everyone experienced her unpredictable
attacks. Euthanasia was mentioned.
It didn't seem right after all Matilda had suffered that she'd
have to pay the ultimate price for what people had done to her.
Miraculously, a vet tech named Carolyn opened her home to Matilda.
She now shares digs with two other senior cats plus a bunny. If anyone can turn around Matilda, it's Carolyn. However, treatment has been costly. Her stay at LSVH cost $1492. Her current liver meds(5) run $185 per month. Carolyn, Cat Saint that she is, is willing to pay her monthly bills. That would put a hole in most people's budget.
We are thrilled Matilda, finally, has a chance at a good life.
Thanks to Carolyn. We don't think she should have to shoulder the
whole burden. Please help to defray Matilda's medical costs.
