Some of you may remember Lulu's story...she was the cat who spent the first two years of her life confined to a box room...
A friendly, chatty and hugely affectionate girl, she was desperate for human contact and attention, and we expected her to find a home quickly and easily.
Sadly, this was not to be, as two weeks ago she was found collapsed in her pen and rushed to our vets. The initial suspicion was FIP, a very serious and dangerous condition for cats, but not all of her symptoms fit and she has since tested negative. Bloodwork and an ultrasound suggested that an issue with her liver was more likely, but it was clear that this was a particularly complex case.
Lulu has now been referred to a specialist vet, and on Tuesday she is booked in for extensive diagnostic tests, including blood screening, urinalysis, neurological exam, abdominal CT and an ultrasound guided percutaneous sampling of the liver.
We have been quoted somewhere in the region of £3800 for these tests, and anywhere up to £7000 should Lulu require surgery.
While this is a huge amount of money, life has not been very kind so far to this lovely little lady, and we feel that she truly deserves the chance to live a full and happy life...so we will do whatever it takes to make that happen, if at all possible!!
So we are appealing to you, our amazing supporters to please, please donate to Lulu's appeal if you can. Every single penny will make an enormous difference, no donation is too small, and if you are unable to pledge any pennies, then please do share Lulu's story with others.
Thank you! 🙏
