A Tough Start, A Brave Heart: Domino's Fight Through Illness and Abandonment

We were asked to take Domino into our rescue after a social media post was made that his owners abandoned him in an apartment complex with no food or water and the landlord was only giving a couple days to find him a new home :(

Domino has had one issue after another since coming into our care in November. First he had explosive diarrhea that took a few weeks to get under control. Then he developed an upper respiratory infection that turned into pneumonia. He was admitted to an ER vet and placed in oxygen and received IV fluids and antibiotics. Additional tests were done and came back for Bordetella, which is VERY in cats

Domino was thrown outside when his owners were evicted from an apartment complex. Somehow Domino found his way back to the apartment (his sister is still missing :( The landlord put Domino back in the trashed apartment with no food or water and when we found him, he was eating garbage out of the garbage can :( Despite all this, he is the biggest love and just wants to be around people.

We are a very small rescue and have already had so many medical emergencies with cats this year. We are there for these cats when they have been failed by people before us. Domino’s ER visit alone cost $3,241.05 which does not include his previous vet visits.
