Starr is an 8-9 year old cat who our rescue, No Kitten Left Behind-MN, rescued from our Annandale colony a while back due to health issues. He's been staying with a foster and has been doing pretty well since he's been indoors...until now. Recently, he has been having litter box issues -- making frequent trips to the litter box, etc. Within the past few days, he's stopped eating and has gotten considerably worse, crying and acting lethargic.
On Friday, February 13th, Starr was taken to the vet on an emergency basis. The vet stated that Starr had a full blockage and could have died had he not brought him in when we did. They did blood work to check his kidney and liver functions and an x-ray to check for stones. His Kidney levels were VERY high and his potassium levels were also elevated. Fortunately, his liver test was normal and there were no stones in his bladder. They put a catheter in and hooked him up to an IV during the day. The IV was suspended overnight and they gave him more fluids on Saturday morning. They also removed the catheter in the morning to see if he could pee on his own.
We're praying for full health and unfortunately they couldn't put the catheter in more than typical as they close at Noon on Saturdays. It's a shorter stay then they like to see but we're hoping that it will be enough for him.
To our dismay (and hence this fundraiser), the bill estimate was going to be more than $520! This amount does not take into the fact Starr will need another visit to assess the kidney levels by ways of a blood test. We are raising money to try and help provide for his care and accumulating vet bill that we had not planned for.
We need your prayers as well that will be the last medical needed for the foster cats for a long time..... Starr is a great cat who has been through so much in his short life and deserves a prosperous future.
Thank you!
