Please Help
Hello,
I am in dire need of assistance for both of my cats. I recently
adopted from the SPCA a 10 month old domestic named Lilly. Lilly
began to sneeze after 2 days of being home with me. I took Lilly to
the Vet and she was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection.
Unfortunately, she was around my cat Sasha (who
was also adopted from the pound 2 years ago). Sasha began to get
sick and I took her to the Vet and she too was diagnosed with an
upper respiratory infection which she caught from Lilly. Both were
given antibiotics and quarantined from one another.
Sasha, my two year old has been taken to the Vet 3
times since Wednesday. She will not eat, not drink and she is just
wasting away. The Vet yesterday did give Sasha some meds to help
stimulate her to eat but she still refuses to eat and is lethargic.
I have tried everything from baby food, to the smelliest tuna and
she will not eat. I am terribly concerned that she will develop
fatty liver disease if she does not eat leading to her death. I was
able to give her the best care that I could for now.
The problem is that since both cats have been
sick, I have totally exhausted all the money that I have. I have
spent my whole paycheck on care and would spend any amount if I had
it. My other cat Lilly is now experiencing eye puss with swollen
eyes due to her infection. She is eating and drinking, however she
also needs medical attention for her eyes. I will do anything to
help these two babies and see them well.
My parent's and fianc� have helped as much as they
can but I have no where else to turn. I have no credit card to use
whatsoever due to a financial crisis in my life right now. I just do
not know what to do. I am literally crying as I am writing this. I
just tried to do a good deed by adopting and now both are suffering.
Any information or assistance you could provide
would mean the world to me.

Hi Sherry,
Sorry to hear about your cats! Right now, we don't
have any money, but perhaps we will soon. Also, I've attached a
flyer you can copy (it's below) and a picture you can add to it (or
perhaps a picture of a cat of your choice) to get donations. We try
to get churches to donate, so if you contact some local churches to
talk with the Pastor, they may post it, put it in the bulletin or
take up a collection for us and about 90% will go back to you.
I can also forward your message to others to help
donate if you like.
The SPCA should give you some money to cover the
vet bill of at least the cat they gave you. Isn't that a law that if
you adopt a sick animal that they need to pay for the medical bills?
I would check into that. At least let the SPCA know what they did. I
look forward to hear from you. Sorry we can't help further. I need
to update a list of organizations that helped people, but, I'm
attaching the list. Maybe one may help?

Hello Jan,
Thank you so much for getting back to me. I truly
appreciate your time in writing. Thank you for the suggestion on
contacting the shelter. I am going to do that this morning. They
should have never let the cat be adopted being so sick. Before I
contact them, I am taking her back to the vets this morning because
of her poor eyes. If you would not mind, could you please pray for
my beloved pets. I have not been blessed with children so, they are
like my babies. Thank you once again, and please have a blessed day.
Sherry
P.S. Enclosed is a picture of Sasha my 2 year old.

Hi Sherry,
Please let me know how you do with the SPCA, the
vet and local churches. I don't have children either, and appreciate
your great care for your pets. Sasha is adorable! Let me know if you
want your plea to be circulated and to whom to make out the checks
to and to mail to. It's best to have checks made out to the vet and
sent to you. It's too bad your vet doesn't keep an account for you
and that you depleted all of your funds. Maybe they'll keep an
account for you to be paid off?

Hi Jan,
That would be great if you could do that. I have
had to make a conscience decision to take Lilly back to the SPCA.
She needs care, and I just can not afford to give her that care that
she needs. I had to take Sasha back to the Emergency vet this
morning. She still will not eat and in a day or two we may need to
be much more aggressive with a tube feeding through the nose. Any
help, any would be great. The vet that is now caring for Sasha is
Everhart Animal Hospital. I do believe that I had included the
address of the hospital and the telephone number in my previous
email. Thank you once again. Please keep us in prayer. It is
breaking my heart to take Lilly back, but the Lord laid it on my
heart to do so. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Sorry to hear about Lilly. It sounds like you have
your hands full. Can you write a paragraph condensing everything and
call the vet to be sure they will accept checks from other people?
That would be great. Many thanks.
Blessings,
Jan

Sure Jan. The vet's office is now closed. But I
will ask them in the morning. I think I have just about cried myself
out today. I am exhausted. I will send a brief paragraph in another
email. You have been a great comfort this morning. It's great to
know that people do care in this world. When I do get back on my
feet financially, I will be sure to make a donation to the great
cause your group has.

Hi Sherry,
Does Shasha have cataracts?
I look forward to hear how you do on Monday.
Did you use Nutra (spelling?) cat food? There were emails going
around about it being bad.
Prayers are with you.

Hey Jan,
No,
she doesn't. Maybe the picture I sent appears that she does. Sorry
about that. I feed Sasha Eukanuba. Thanks for the info though about
Nutro. I know a couple of people at work that feed their pets that.
I will keep you posted tomorrow. I have put everything in the Lord's
hands. As they say, "he only gives us as much as we can handle".
Have a great night.
Sherry
