About this campaign

After a devastating house fire broke out almost two months ago, this sweet 7-year-old cat named Ivory was presumed dead. She was finally found living alone in the ruins of her former home, severely emaciated, weighing only 5.9 pounds, weak, missing her tail, and fighting on her last leg to stay alive. Her elderly owner hasn’t been seen since, and the apartment was condemned.

But miraculously… Ivory survived. She was at a high risk of euthanasia due to her declining health until A Pathway to Hope stepped in. They immediately rushed her to the vet and are getting her the urgent medical care she needs.

She’s currently being syringe-fed baby food and churros, and comes to the kennel door seeking attention, head-bunting and purring. She’s too frightened to eat on her own unless someone is with her, offering love, safety, and encouragement. But once she feels comforted, she eats with a strong appetite. She just needs someone to be there to care.

A Pathway to Hope and generous donors like you are her only hope. With your support, we can give Ivory the second chance she so deeply deserves. Every donation makes a difference and helps her heal and grow stronger each day. Thank you!

4/30/25 Update:

Ivory hasn't been eating well since her rescue, and A Pathway's vet referred her to a specialist. An ultrasound revealed thickening of her GI tract and an enlarged liver and spleen, raising concern for lymphoma. But this is not a death sentence. With your help, we can give Ivory the chance she’s fought so hard to earn.

5/9/25 Update:
Following her visit to a specialist, Ivory began treatment for suspected IBD or lymphoma. With your help, she’s responding well to steroids and B12. Her appetite has improved, her strength is returning, and she’s even made a best friend—her special needs foster buddy, Moose. Thank you for giving her the second chance she so deeply deserved.
