Help Mouse Breathe Easier With Respiratory Treatment

After being dumped at a community cat colony and becoming a mother while she was still incredibly young herself, Mouse finally had the chance to leave life outside behind. Now this sweet girl needs a little help with veterinary care of her own.

Mouse first appeared at a colony her rescuer had been caring for through TNR for years. She wasn't originally part of the colony. Someone had dumped her there, leaving this friendly young cat to fend for herself.

When her rescuer stopped by to feed the colony one day, Mouse came running over, and it was immediately apparent that she was heavily pregnant. Just a few days later, Mouse disappeared. With multiple people feeding cats throughout the area, tracking her down wasn't easy.

Eventually, another trapper helping at the colony sent over a photo of a friendly cat she had found. To everyone's surprise and relief, it was Mouse. She had given birth to another litter of kittens despite being little more than a youngster herself.

Her days as a teenage mom are thankfully behind her. Mouse was brought into Rags to Riches Animal Rescue, fully vetted, and given the opportunity to live safely indoors. Her rescuers quickly discovered what a sweet, gentle, and loving cat had been left behind at that colony.

More recently, Mouse needed additional veterinary attention for respiratory concerns. Her care included anesthesia so her veterinary team could perform a nasal flush, along with nebulization treatment to support her respiratory system. She also received additional diagnostic care, including a urinalysis.

Her recent veterinary bill totaled $480.81, an expense her rescue has already taken on to make sure Mouse received the treatment she needed.

Mouse has already experienced more uncertainty than such a sweet girl ever should have. She was dumped, became a mother while still young herself, and needed rescue to finally give her the security and care she had been missing.

Please consider donating to Mouse's Waggle campaign to help with the cost of her respiratory treatment and veterinary care. Every contribution helps her rescue cover the care they've already provided while continuing to give Mouse the safe, loved life she deserved all along.
