Hera was sick and starving when the kind old lady found and trapped her. Next door neighbors stepped in to help feed and provide initial vet care. Unused to caring for cats, Matt and his wife asked for help from Mandarin's Retreat. Three days after being trapped, Hera was being seen by our vet and an initial health screening found a starving, dirty lady cat with multiple bad teeth, tummy problems, diarrhea and a positive feline leukemia test.

Her initial bill was a little less than $500 and we expect her dental costs to be in the range of $700. This just gets her prepared for a slow recovery.

Hera is a loving, abandoned older cat who deserves much more than death on the streets. Please help us get her on the road to recovery with a one-time donation to her own support fund - Hera's Life Jacket. You can help keep her head above water until her health improves and she joins the other success stories of Mandarin's Retreat. Help us reach her goal of $1,100!
