Help Baby Boo Breathe Easier

Rescued as a stray, Baby Boo was taken into foster care through Cathy’s Cats Corporation, where he was finally safe and on his way to finding a loving home. But soon after arriving, it became clear something wasn’t right. Baby Boo began coughing and wheezing severely—episodes that looked frighteningly like choking and left everyone worried about his ability to breathe.

Baby Boo was rushed to the veterinarian for X-rays and diagnostic testing to rule out life-threatening causes such as obstructions or foreign objects. Thankfully, no blockage was found. During this visit, Baby Boo was also neutered so he wouldn’t have to endure additional anesthesia later.

While the tests ruled out the worst possibilities, they revealed that Baby Boo is suffering from a severe upper respiratory infection, which can be especially dangerous for kittens. He has begun a course of antibiotics and supportive care to help him breathe comfortably and recover fully.

Veterinary visits, diagnostics, imaging, anesthesia, and medications add up quickly—especially for a small, volunteer-supported rescue. Cathy’s Cats Corporation relies entirely on donations to provide medical care like Baby Boo’s and to ensure kittens get the treatment they need to survive and thrive.

Baby Boo needs your help to cover the cost of his medical care. Your donation today goes directly toward his X-rays, diagnostics, neuter surgery, medications, and follow-up care. If you’re unable to donate, sharing Baby Boo’s story helps ensure he gets the support he needs.

Because of compassion and quick action, Baby Boo has a chance to breathe easier, heal, and grow into the healthy kitten he deserves to be. Thank you for helping make that possible.
