From Healthy Kitten to Critical Condition: Give Danny a Chance to Run Again

Danny was adopted in January 2025 as a healthy 8 month old kitten. He now has severe neurological issues - cannot run or jump and has to shuffle to get around. He also has to have his bladder expressed. Danny was surrendered to us yesterday and immediately went to our vet - his temperature was only 96° and was having mini seizures! He is now at a 24 hour vet and we are trying to save his life.

In the last 24 hours we have done a battery of testing on Danny. His bloodwork and urinalysis was fairly normal. But his neurologic issues are one of the concerns right now - he just started medication for that. The vet is also having a hard time keeping his blood pressure and temperature regulated. Danny’s seizures and tremors have lessened so the seizure medication seems to be helping.

Danny is only 10 months old and was a happy and healthy kitten until he started to have neurologic issues. We are doing everything we can to figure out why he suddenly became this way. He has a sibling Daphne that is missing him so much.

Our rescue continues to take on cats that have been thrown out, abandoned, abused, and/or left to fend for themselves. Many of the cats we take on need significant medical care. Adoption fees never cover routine veterinary care, so a case like Danny is crippling for us.
