Sardine is a tiny orange kitten, 5 weeks old and not even 1 lb., who was found lying in the road and dropped off at a local shelter. Staff there noticed that this little boy had no ability to use his rear legs, suggesting a permanent spinal cord injury. We knew that this also meant that Sardine would not be able to urinate on his own, which is an emergency. With the shelter unable to care for him, euthanasia or rescue were the only choices, so we stepped up for him and brought him into foster care. He was emaciated, weak, covered in ticks and flea dirt, and his bladder was painfully full. A vet visit confirmed that Sardine's hind end is permanently paralyzed. His bladder needs to be expressed manually every 6-8 hours. But seeing this little baby starting to get stronger and more and more playful is worth every minute it takes to attend to his special needs. Now we need your help to cover his vet bill and ongoing care! We have other cats in our care that are depending on us for food, litter, medications, and vet care, too. We know everyone has been feeling financial strain lately. But as always, with your support, we can make amazing things happen for the neediest of all like Sardine. Please donate and share his story as you are able to. We couldn't do it without you.
