🐾 Help Little Collette Get Her Second Chance 🐾
Collette is only 1 pound. She should be busy being a baby kitten—playing, cuddling, and causing a little trouble. Instead, this tiny girl was attacked by a dog and suffered a traumatic hernia so severe that her bladder was displaced into the hernia.
Yes… this 1-pound baby was trying to survive with her bladder where it absolutely should not be. 💔
One of our veterinary partners reached out to us and asked if we could help Collette. We said YES.
Because she is so incredibly tiny, surgery is not without risk. The original plan was to wait until she reached at least 2 pounds before repairing the hernia. But with her bladder trapped in the hernia and the risks of waiting, that plan quickly became less ideal.
Thankfully, Atlas Pet Vets in Frisco immediately made room for Collette and is prepared to perform the surgery she needs.
Now this tiny girl needs a steady hand from Dr. Lauren and a strong little body to get her through it. ❤️🩹
Collette has already survived being attacked. Now she needs us to help her heal.
Her surgery and medical care are going to be expensive, and we need your help to give this 1-pound baby the chance she deserves.

Our tiny girl Collette is doing wonderfully! Her first major surgery went well, and she's healing beautifully with the help of her very special medical foster.
It's hard to believe how much this little girl has already been through, but she's proving to be one tough little kitten!
Collette is still just a tiny baby, so she has some growing and healing left to do before she's ready for her forever home. We expect she'll be available for adoption in about 4–6 weeks!
In the meantime, please keep this sweet girl in your thoughts as she continues to grow stronger and heal a little more every day. She's come so far, and we can't wait to see what her future holds!
