Last night, Licorice who was laying in my lap, started to tremble and shake. Her temperature shot up in the OMG range and I had no other alternative after three hours of trying to lower her temp (unsuccessfully) to take her to the emergency clinic. She has a “fever of unknown origin” and this beautiful cat who went from spirited to vibrant is now listless and withdrawn and barely eating.

I had to give them $300.00 up front before they would even see her and this left our kitty short by $75.00. I am scrambling on all fronts trying to come up with the money to cover this and falling short. Sometimes, when these cats go into crisis, my brain just doesn’t think about the repercussions of what I am doing until it is to late. If anyone has $5.00 lying around gathering dust and can send it my way- I would be grateful. I will say the staff there went above and beyond in how they treated this black kitten. They have all they need on hand to handle any type of emergency and a beautiful facility to boot.

This morning when I picked Licorice up, she trembled in my lap all the way home. She’s not even a year old, she has already had a litter of kittens and they think the fever is because of an infection (not related to the recent spay). She is in a cage in the living room and seems to have no energy. Her fever went so high there was a fear she might not make it. But she is a fighter.

Thank you for listening
