🐾 IT’S $5 FRIDAY, AND WE NEED HELP — FINANCIALLY AND PHYSICALLY! 🐾

Hey everyone. It has been one LONG week, and I’m exhausted. Today, we’re headed to Houston to pick up some wheelchair ramps for my dad, who has fallen twice in the past couple of weeks. Between worrying about him, everything going on at the rescue, and everything else life has thrown at me lately, I am running on empty.

❤️ I really need to ask for some help today.

Starting in November, we have to begin paying $1,500 EVERY MONTH toward our veterinary pharmacy bill. I absolutely hate that our balance has gotten this high, but when donations weren’t coming in, I had no choice but to rely on our pharmacy account to purchase medications, supplies, and food to keep our cats cared for.

Over the years, I have helped so many people with medications and supplies for their cats, with promises that they would reimburse the rescue for those expenses. Unfortunately, many of those promises were never kept. Those costs added up, and now we’re the ones left struggling to pay the bill.

I also desperately need VOLUNTEERS!

As I shared in my post the other day, I went through some very dark and horrible depression over the past few months. During that time, things around the rescue piled up. I literally begged friends and people I knew to please come help me. So many promised they would, but nobody showed up.

I can’t even find dependable help to feed our cats (except Danara) when we have to be gone without someone expecting to be paid. And I’m talking about some of the same people I’ve gone out of my way to help, who still haven’t reimbursed us for the medications and supplies we provided.

We have an entire shed that a wonderful supporter purchased MONTHS ago that is STILL sitting there waiting to be put together. We need help moving things out of the way, getting the area ready, and assembling it. There are so many projects that I physically and mentally have not been able to tackle alone.

I cannot continue doing everything by myself. I just can’t.

🐾 On a happier note, Jenny is doing well since coming home from LSU! She’s been resting quite a bit because she’s one tired little girl after everything she’s been through, but overall, she’s doing well. ❤️

Today, I’m asking for two things: If you can spare $5 toward our pharmacy bill, PLEASE help. And if you can spare a little time to volunteer, PLEASE reach out. Even a few hours of your time would make an enormous difference.

And please keep our Vice President, Danara, in your prayers. She’s been dealing with some health issues herself lately, and I’m worried about her, too.

I know everyone has their own struggles, and I don’t expect anyone to drop everything for us. But I have spent years helping people and animals, and right now, I’m the one asking for someone to please show up.

Thank you to those who continue supporting us, checking on us, donating, and reminding us that there are still people who care. You have no idea how much it means.

With love, frustration, exhaustion, and a whole lot of hope,

One very, VERY tired President & Director

❤️🐾 JENNY IS HEADED HOME! 🐾❤️

Hey everyone! We are officially on our way home with our sweet Jenny girl!

We are still waiting on the results from her spinal fluid testing, and Dr. Littman will be calling us as soon as those come back. We will also be returning to LSU in a month for a follow-up.

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about our entire experience at LSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital Community Practice. From the students to the doctors and everyone in between, they were absolutely amazing!

But what meant the most to us was that they didn’t want to give up on Jenny. They saw the same sweet, spunky, determined little girl that we see every day, and they wanted to help her. Everyone absolutely fell in love with her, and Dr. Littman even wanted to take her home! 😂❤️

After weeks of worrying, researching, unanswered questions, and fighting to find out what was wrong with our girl, we finally have a diagnosis of COMS (Chiari-like malformation and occipital bone dysplasia).

We still have some things to figure out, especially once her spinal fluid results come back, but at least now we have some answers and a direction to move forward.

I cannot tell you what a relief it is to finally have someone who listened, cared, and was willing to look deeper instead of giving up on her.

We don’t know exactly what the future holds for Jenny, but we do know that she has a whole lot of life, love, and fight left in that little body! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has followed her journey, prayed for her and supported us along the way. And a very special thank-you to Dr. Littman and the entire LSU veterinary team for treating Jenny with so much love and compassion.

Our girl is coming home, and we finally have some hope and answers! 🥹❤️🐾

With love,
Jenny and all her friends at Leeroys Second Chance Cats & TNR Program ❤️

💜💛🐾 JENNY UPDATE FROM LSU! WE FINALLY HAVE SOME ANSWERS! 🐯

Our sweet Jenny has been diagnosed with COMS (Caudal Occipital Malformation Syndrome), also known as a Chiari-like malformation.

So what exactly does that mean?

COMS is a rare neurological condition in cats where the back portion of the skull doesn’t provide enough room for the brain. This causes crowding and pressure near the area where the brain connects to the spinal cord. It can interfere with the normal flow of spinal fluid and potentially cause weakness, difficulty walking, loss of coordination, pain, and other neurological problems.

This could explain many of the symptoms we have been seeing in Jenny, especially the problems with her back legs.

Our girl did GREAT through all of her procedures today! And in true Jenny fashion, she has been SPICY and VERY vocal! 😂 Apparently, Miss Jenny has plenty to say about this whole ordeal!

We will be meeting with her neurologist at 4:00 this afternoon to discuss her MRI findings, find out what her spinal fluid testing reveals, and learn what treatment options we have moving forward.

We still have questions, but after everything this little girl has been through, finally having some answers means so much!

Thank you all for the prayers, encouragement, and love you have shown Jenny. We aren’t giving up on our girl! 💜💛

🐯💜 Jenny Update from LSU! GEAUX TIGERS! 💛🐾

Hey everyone! We just left our appointment at LSU, and let me just say, we are ABSOLUTELY impressed!

The neurologist believes Jenny has a multifocal neurological condition, meaning more than one area of her nervous system is affected. They are leaning more toward something infectious, with FIP still being a strong possibility! It’s possible that we just didn’t have her on the right dosage or treatment protocol.

Our sweet girl is staying overnight for an MRI and spinal fluid testing, and we are hoping to FINALLY get some answers tomorrow!

The students, neurologists, and entire staff were absolutely AMAZING! And get this — the entire visit and testing are at least $5,000 LESS than what Gulf Coast quoted us! LSU’s MRI is only $1,300 compared to the $5,000 we were quoted at Gulf Coast! That speaks volumes to me! These folks genuinely seem to care about helping animals and finding answers, not just making money!

Since Jenny is in excellent hands tonight, and I rarely get to go anywhere, we’re going to enjoy a little Baton Rouge sightseeing, hit the outlet mall, and visit a few of our favorite spots on LSU’s campus!

And yes, we brought little Stormy along for the trip, too! 😂🐾 After all, Stormy is Jenny’s emotional support kitten, and we couldn’t possibly leave home without her little buddy! ❤️

We are feeling hopeful, grateful, and so glad we made this trip! Thank you all for loving our girl and following her journey. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring the answers we’ve been searching so hard for!

GEAUX TIGERS! 🐯💜💛🐾

Hopefully getting some answers for Jenny!
