Still in critical condition!

Update posted 3 years ago

Donatella continues to struggle, clinging to life. Thankfully, her ultrasound was clear and did not find any tumors. She is on a feeding tube, and we are hoping this may help her to stabilize. 


Hospitalization. Feeding tubes. Ultrasounds. Bloodwork. The unfortunate reality is that these lifesaving interventions cost money. A lot of money. And we just can't foot the bill on our own. We will continue to support Donatella and do whatever we can to get her back on her feet. But we can't do it alone!

URGENT!!! Donatella is crashing and we need to act fast! She is in critical condition and desperately needs an ultrasound to diagnose her condition BEFORE THE CLINICS CLOSE for the holiday weekend!!! Time is not on her side. 


The reality is that Donatella may not make it. She seemed to be feeling poorly last week, but took a devastating turn for the worse of the weekend. We rushed her to the vet first thing this morning. Her bloodwork is terrible. Her liver function does not look good.


Before we can even try to help, we need to know what's really going on. We need to get Donatella that ultrasound ASAP! But we can't do that without the money to pay for the procedure. 


With an ultrasound, we will know more about what is happening inside Donatella's little body. We will know what steps to take and what supportive care she may need. In all likelihood, she will need a feeding tube. But even that won't be a guarantee. 


Donatella came to us from a rural shelter in Virginia where there are few positive outcomes for cats. Let alone older cats--let alone a bonded pair! Donatella and her brother Gianni are inseparable. They beat the odds and found her way into our care. We just can't give up on Donatella now. We can't stand to think what Gianni will do if he loses his sister!
