Domino Has Had a History of Medical Needs, You can Help Make a Difference in His Future

Domino is a young cat whose life has depended on urgent medical care more than once. This resilient baby is one of the sweetest we’ve ever had the privilege to care for. His repeated urinary blockages are only one part of his story, and our goal is to help him live a full life free from this painful condition.

This type of medical emergency can become life-threatening within hours. Domino once lived in a loving home, but the repeated, costly care he required became more than his owner could afford. That is how he came to RBARI. Without immediate hospitalization, Domino would not have survived.

Though this reality is scary, this sweet boy is making progress. His kidney values, once a major concern, have stabilized. His urinary tract is currently unblocked, and he is no longer suffering the intense pain he once endured. These improvements give us hope that the future is bright.

Even with this progress, Domino remains high-risk, especially in a stressful shelter. He currently depends on daily medication, but if his condition worsens, that may not be enough. Specialized surgery could offer a solution, though it is costly and only a last resort.

Due to recurrent issues with blocking, Domino recently went through a specialized PU surgery - painful, but lifesaving. While in recovery, his foster has had nothing but good things to say about him. He's sweet, adventurous, and playful, and loves their chocolate lab! His favorite activities (when not in recovery) are playing with his favorite worm-on-a-string wand toy and "helping" his foster family with their daily chores.

Domino is currently on daily medication to help lessen his stress and pain, and will likely need to stay on medication going forward. He is also on a specialized urinary diet (which he eats like a pro!), which will help support his long-term urinary health.

Domino loves his people and always wants to be around them. He would do best in a home where there will always be someone there for him and where he can run and explore to his heart's content! Thank you for your support!
