💔🐾 Good Morning Everyone. Happy Saturday. 🐾💔
We wanted to give everyone an update on little 🖤 Van Gogh 🖤 — the tiny kitten with half of his face missing and his ear hanging. 😭
From what the vets are seeing, it appears this poor baby was attacked by something and literally torn apart. 💔
Van Gogh only weighs 1.7 pounds. He is not even 2 pounds yet. Imagine the pain and suffering this tiny kitten had to endure all alone outside. It is absolutely heartbreaking. 😭
We are so thankful someone found him and brought him to the shelter because honestly… he likely would have died slowly out there suffering. 💔
Right now there is:🐾 Severe inflammation🐾 Severe infection🐾 Extensive trauma to his face and ear
He will likely need major reconstructive surgery to try and put everything back together… but at this moment there are no guarantees if surgery will work or even what the outcome will be. 😞
We will have more answers Monday once Dr. Rick is able to fully assess everything further. Right now the most important thing is:❤️ Keeping him comfortable❤️ Controlling his pain❤️ Letting the inflammation go down❤️ Slowly and gently cleaning the wounds
Despite everything this baby has endured… he is alert, eating, drinking, and fighting. 😭🐾
Please continue praying for Van Gogh. We are hoping euthanasia does NOT become the only option for this little fighter. 💔
And yes… I know many people say:“Take a break.”“Stop taking cases.”“Say no.”
Trust me… I know. 😞
Our vet bill is extremely high and every time we raise money, another critical cat comes needing help. The bill never fully goes down because the emergencies never stop.
But when you look at a tiny baby like this facing euthanasia… it is so hard to walk away. My heart just cannot do it. 😭
I know eventually I will need to step back and breathe because emotionally, physically, mentally, and financially… I am exhausted. I truly have nothing left to give of myself right now. 💔
But for today… we are fighting for Van Gogh. 🖤
Please continue:🐾 Sharing his story🐾 Donating if you can🐾 Commenting for engagement🐾 Keeping him in your prayers
If surgery is possible, it is going to be extremely expensive and we desperately need help.
