If you can help...
Good afternoon everyone!
We want to take a moment to tell you about a very special girl who has been in our care for a few years now and has had quite the health journey during her time with us – including a very recent procedure.
Reggie was trapped at her colony and brought to Carma in January 2019 as a very scared cat. She was placed in a foster home but after a couple of months she would still not allow the foster care provider to approach her so the volunteer who looks after the foster and adoption program took her home to work with her.
Reggie settled in very quickly, began to allow her foster to pet her, and seemed happy. Her foster mom noticed she seemed to have difficulty breathing sometimes, she was taken to see a vet who diagnosed her with asthma, and she was prescribed an aerosol puffer twice daily, then at one of her subsequent vet visits it was discovered she had an enlarged heart and she was prescribed daily medication for that.
Most recently we discovered she had a mass inside the left side of her mouth as well as dental disease and required surgery. She had surgery to remove the mass and remove all her teeth except her canines on April 28th at South Paw Animal Hospital. She tolerated the surgery well despite her co-morbidities and is recovering at her foster home. We are hopeful the mass removed from her mouth was inflammatory cells, but it was sent away for analysis to be sure.
As a result, we are looking to raise $2,200+ to help cover the cost of the procedure as well as the follow up care (if we are able to raise more than that, the remaining funds will go to the cats in our care, including other medically necessary procedures that come up in future).
