Help Mantis Get the Eye Care He Needs

Mantis is just a baby kitten, but she has already found himself facing a medical mystery. When she came into the care of Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, our team immediately noticed that something wasn’t right with her eyes. They are enlarged and showing concerning changes, but despite a veterinary evaluation, we still don’t have a clear answer as to what is causing them.

Because Mantis is so young and her symptoms are unusual, his veterinarian has recommended that he see an ophthalmology specialist. This appointment will hopefully help us understand what is happening with her eyes, determine whether there is an underlying condition, and develop the right treatment plan for this little kitten.

One concern is that her symptoms could be related to a serious underlying illness such as ocular FIP, but we need further veterinary evaluation and testing before we can know for sure. For now, Mantis is being treated with that possibility in mind while we work to get him the specialized care she needs.

As a rescue, we know that taking in animals with complicated medical needs can mean facing unexpected expenses. But when a tiny kitten like Mantis needs help, we can't simply turn her away because her care may be more than we anticipated. She deserves the opportunity to get answers and, most importantly, the chance to grow up healthy and comfortable.

Your support will help Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation get Mantis to the eye specialist, pursue the diagnostics she needs, and begin the appropriate treatment based on what her veterinary team discovers.

Please help us give Mantis a chance. Every donation brings this little kitten one step closer to answers, treatment, and the healthy future she deserves.
