THIS IS THE SAD STORY OF GINGER THE STRAY CAT
On the 30th of April 2019 Ginger was rushed to the vet close to dying in a coma like state..
He was found lying on the floor in Ayia Napa Cyprus, unable to move, and looked as if he was dead. Even more Shocking is the fact that probably hundreds of people passed him by and didn't even give him a second glance, not even to check if he was dead or alive..
nobody knows how long this poor cat was on the floor suffering with unimaginable pain..
Thankfully he was seen by a shopkeeper who was just opening for business but unfortunately couldn't take him to the vet, but quickly alerted people on Facebook about Ginger's situation.
Fortunately Julia Bikova who was visiting Cyprus and a huge cat lover, and had only just arrived a few days ago saw the plea for help and rushed to the aid of the helpless cat, followed by another Animal lover Angelika Chrysostomou who also helps a lot with the cats in Ayia NAPA and fortunately had a car and rushed him to the vet..
This is the sad reality of how a lot of people treat cats in Cyprus. Walk on by and let them die..thank God for the true animal lovers that exist to save them.
The vet's initial reaction was to think the cat had been poisoned as he was also severely dehydrated and unresponsive. but upon examining the cat further he noticed a head injury and concluded the cat had been hit by a car..
Blood tests were done, they came up clear, but after a few days the vet also x-rayed Ginger to find out why he was unable to stand or walk at all.. Sadly they showed he had a broken pelvis which is quite bad, and may need surgery later
For now the vet is giving Ginger a chance to rest for a while hoping that his broken pelvis will heal on its own without Surgery
Also another problem is that he can't pee or poo on his own and this could possibly be nerve damage, but vet isn't sure yet, we are all hoping that in time Ginger will walk again..
But all this treatment is expensive as the vet is currently charging 20 EUROS a day for his stay at the clinic alone, then there is the cost of 2 xrays 2x35 euros, blood tests 85 euros + 8 days in clinic = 160 euros + any medication he needs etc.. this is only up to now.
Ginger is looking at a long stay in the clinic as he has a long road ahead of him to recover and return to good health..if ever?
Julia Bikova has taken over responsibility for Ginger but cannot afford to pay the vet bills which are going to be very high. she is just a visitor in Cyprus who loves and cares for the stray cats while she's there
THIS FUNDRAISER IS TO HELP RAISE THE MONEY NEEDED TO PAY GINGER'S UP TO DATE AND CONTINUED VET TREATMENT WHILE HE REMAINS IN THE CLINIC WHICH IS NOT KNOWN FOR HOW MUCH LONGER SO THE TARGET AMOUNT WILL NEED TO BE ADJUSTED LATER TO COVER ANY INCREASING VET BILLS.
Please Please..we are asking the public to help with Donations to help Julia Bikova pay for Ginger's ongoing vet care..it's impossible for Julia to do this without help
Any amount will be gratefully received, every little amount ads up.
PLEASE DONATE TO HELP GINGER GET WELL AGAIN..Updates will be posted as we go...thank you
