About this campaign
Amelia is a special kitten with a rare and serious medical condition called pectus excavatum, or "funnel chest." This congenital defect causes a malformed chest wall, leading to difficulty breathing, exercise intolerance, weight loss, and even life-threatening complications. Amelia’s chest was sunken, making it hard for her tiny body to get the oxygen it needed.
Thanks to the incredible team at Blue Pearl, Amelia underwent life-saving surgery on December 30th. A custom fiberglass splint was placed on her chest to reshape her ribcage and give her lungs the room they need to function properly.
Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue was thrilled to share that Amelia responded beautifully to the procedure. Just one day after her surgery, she was already soaking up love from her foster mom. Amelia still has a recovery journey ahead, and the cost of her surgery and care is significant. Your support makes it possible for rescues to help kittens like Amelia not only survive but thrive.
Please consider donating today to give Amelia a full chance at a healthy and happy life. Every dollar truly makes a difference. The smile on her face says it all. Thank you!
