Magnificat Cat Rescue and Rehoming, Inc hasn't added a story.
Mego, the friendly little cat rescued from the New York City ACC on the night of July 2, is fighting for his life in the ICU at Brooklyn Veterinary Emergency and Referral (VERG). He arrived in septic shock and so critically ill that the vets told us the humane thing was to euthanize … only when they went to his cage to get him ready for euthanasia, he was sitting up and trying to communicate.
Since then, we have been on a harrowing roller coaster ride. Today, July 4th, he seemed to be rallying in the morning after emergency surgery, only to have his blood pressure come crashing down once again. In just two days at the ICU, we have racked up a bill of $7,519.87. This afternoon, when the vets told us his prognosis was poor, we reluctantly agreed that it was time to say goodbye. But then the same thing happened: his blood pressure rose slightly and the cat that had been laterally recumbent and comatose somehow managed to get on his feet and let us know that he was not done yet.
Young Mego has an extraordinary will to live.
He is astonishing everybody in the ICU.
So long as he is willing to fight, we will fight with him.
We’ve rescued many, many cats, but we’ve never seen a cat with such a tenacious hold on life.
Mego urgently needs your help. Tonight he is getting a plasma transfusion and nasal feeding tube to give him every chance of making it. He is so young, barely a year old.
The new estimate (see picture below) is now $11,648.57 (low end) to $15,196.15 (high end, and we sincerely hope we don’t get there). Thanks to generous donors we have already raised about $2,600 of that, so we are making the fundraiser for $9,000.
Magnificat Cat Rescue is a registered, 501 c 3 nonprofit in NYC. Your donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
