Sponsors surgery costs for
Trubby
, one of our rescued feral kittens.
Our rescue kitty Trubby was born of a feral mom, in a feral cat colony. Trubby was found by me on the 4th of July, early in the day.  He was all alone, meowing and meowing with no mom nearby.  I know from experience that often a mom cat will leave her "kids" alone to seek food or roam around a little bit and is usually close to home.  I decided to leave Trubby right there yet decided that when I returned later in the day, before fireworks, that if he was still there alone, if the mom did not return, that I would take him  home.
When I arrived several hours later he was still there, and scooped him up and placed him in the pet carrier.  The white portion of his fur was quite dirty and there were a couple of ticks to be pulled off his tiny body.  You can see in the first photo a wet Trubby after his first bath!
The 2nd photo is after he dried off .  He
washed up rather nicely and started to play.  He followed me around the house playing with my pant legs. He was already a momma's boy!  Plus I let him sleep in the bed and he snuggled up to my neck and fell asleep... until I rolled over.  Then he walked across my back and, well accidentally fell....into the garbage pail!  If a kitten could talk I know he would have said "I felt so silly and hoped she would realize I was gone.  I didn't say a word because I was in a precarious predicament, not wanting to wake her yet needing her to get me out of there! She must have realized I was MIA (missing in action) and turned on the night stand light and she looked right at me sitting in that garbage pail, helpless.  She giggled and I felt soooo embarraasssdd. :-)"
As you can see, Trubby was a a healthy, spunky, adorable kitten.  Fast forward 6 months to the day of his neuter.  When he arrived home he was never the same. He struggled to urinate  immediately after the surgical procedure.  I have TNR'd dozens of cats and this has never happened before. He struggles and strains then urinates only tiny portions mixed with blood.  This continued on and off for several months.  Finally another veterinarian suggested another surgery.  It was a costly surgery called a
Perineal Urethrostomy that supposedly clears blockage or scar tissue from the original surgery.  Unfortunately it didn't work in Trubby's case.  In fact, it only worsened his symptoms: blood stained urine, leakages and constant licking "down there".  I could see the physical discomfort in his face and at times, his kidney's must have shut down because his eye whites would turn yellowish. He vomits water on a regular basis.  It is upsetting that Trubby is straining to pee and then not even be aware that he was leaking droplets.
The one surgical procedure alone cost approximately 0.00!  He had to stay at the vets office over night 3 days in a row.  He was back and forth to the vet several times over two years. Follow up care included  an exam, antibiotics to ward off infection on a fairly regular basis, purchasing special urinary food and having regular blood work performed due to kidney failure after the surgery. :-(  After a very long struggle, Trubby passed. It was incredibly heartbreaking because the surgery we thought would help only hurt him more.  His beautiful life cut too short but at least he is no longer in pain.  He is missed daily.  Please support Trubby and other cats like him.  We appreciate your kindness.
We in in need for donations to cover costs for the hospital stay, surgery, painkillers, anesthesia, antibiotics, and blood work (another over ,100 total) then ongoing vet follow up appointments and two more stays over night for observation.   We can only do what we do with your support!!
