Sometimes you beat the odds, only to find yourself fighting again.
Meet Cierra- a beautiful, vivacious tortoiseshell colored kitten who has already fought a battle with PanLeukopenia (kitty Parvo) and won, but the effects of it are now ravaging her body and she is beginning a whole new fight.
Cierra (and her sister, Amy) came to us as many kittens do- found alone, outside, skinny and afraid. They immediately battled upper respiratory infection and won. When the girls began vomiting, and having loose stool, it was found they carried an often deadly virus- PanLeuk. Again, they fought vigilantly and won. But now, perfect Cierra, is suffering with potentially lasting effects of kitten parvo- irreversible cerebellar disease.
It started with a slight head tilt and loss of balance. She was quickly assessed with bloodwork and xrays- all normal. But yesterday, her back end started to sway, and we feared the worst. After 3 fantastic Vets got together and confirmed today, we are likely looking at a kitten that will have lifelong wobbles from fighting as hard as she has.
Sometimes life is simply unfair. A 3 month old kitten should have never had to beat the odds as many as she has, but we’re here to fight with her as long as she keeps her strong spirits. We’re starting a trial of medications to see if improvements can be made, and will tweak as necessary. As long as she is happy, not in pain, and keeps meeting us with the same tenacious will to carry on, we’re in her corner. But we need our amazing support system to cheer for her, too. And that can be done through donations, shares, and prayers!
Our donations have been critically low this season, but the need seems to continue growing. With almost 100 animals in our care at any given time, we truly cannot do what we do without the support of our community. If you can find it in your heart to help us continue to help them, we would be grateful 🩷
