Frappe is a 4 month old Scottish Fold in Miami , FL, who needs $7,000 for Diaphragmatic Hernia.

Frappe is my 4 month old kitten. He is the son of both my cats, Macchiato and Cappuccino. Macchiato and Cappuccino had a litter of 5 kittens. One kitten sadly died during Macchiato’s emergency c-section. Frappe was the third kitten to be born. Frappe has been a fighter since the start. Even with what he has been through, he continues to show how much of a fighter he is and his will to live.

Two days ago I noticed that Frappe’s breathing was becoming very labored and more of a belly breathing. I immediately mande an appointment with our veterinarian (GoodVets). Frappe was diagnosed with a Diaphragmatic hernia. This is when there is a tear in the muscle that separates the chest and abdomen. Due to this tear, his organs are compressing his lungs and heart. We were told he needs surgery

Frappe is important to our entire family. He the kitten of my current adult cats. He’s my 10 year old daughter’s support. My ten year old suffers from panic attacks and we have noticed when Frappe is with her she has less panic attacks. Frappe has a wonderful personality. He’s playful, enjoys being in boxes and loves cuddling with Macchiato (his mom).

This has been an unexpected cost and we are trying everything in our power to give Frappe a fighting chance. The surgery cost is 6000 and he will need after care at an emergency vet. We just recently spent $8000 on Macchiato’s c-section. Any help would be a blessing.
