JJ is a kitten in Lancaster, SC, who needs $1,000 for pinpointing cause of extreme digestive issues.

JJ was found by one of LSPCA's Board Members. We reported him as found to the county shelter and fostered him for the required 5-day stray hold. At first JJ had a great appetite and seemed healthy. He quickly developed stomach/digestive problems. JJ stands for Jackson, Jr. because just six months prior, the same Board member found an adult orange kitty with severe stomach issues, named Jackson.

When he feels well, JJ is a superior biscuit-maker. He kneads everything and is a super-loving boy. It was easy to tell when he stopped feeling good because his loveable personality was gone. After determining that he did not have any communicable disease, he was paired with a playful kitten in hopes that would help his spirit.

LSPCA has had an extraordinarily expensive year, specifically with extreme medical cases for the dogs and cats in our care. We are 100% volunteers and rely 100% on donations. Any help is appreciated.

JJ is being treated by the local veterinarian. After determining that JJ's issue were not caused by worms or coccidia, they started a series of tests to determine why he is not thriving. they x-rayed his tummy to rule out a blockage. They did a barium series to track things moving through his digestive system. Most recently, they conducted a bile acid test, and we are awaiting results.

JJ loves to be loved on! he wants all the petting, kissing, and chin-scratching. His first priority is affection, while his foster buddy's first priority was playing. Although JJ was much smaller than his foster buddy, he would sometimes have to stand up for himself when his friend got too rambunctious.
