Keke is a 13 year old American Shorthair in Hudson, NC, who needs $500 for Buprenorphine, Mirtazapine, and Fluid Therapy.

KeKe came into your life long before she understood what the word home meant. She is now 13 but came to us as a months old kitten. She was not aware how to eat, so we had to bottle feed her for the first few months. We also taught her how to stay warm and use the litter box. She has proceeded to teach us about love over these 13 years, our first pet together as a married couple.

Keke started acting strange one afternoon and then had an accident while sitting on my wife's lap. She the began to act extremely lethargic and her stomach swelled very large. After arriving at the ER vet the outcome was found the be pancreatitis. The case was so severe she was kept overnight for fluids, medicine, and monitoring at Carolina Animal Specialty & Emergency in Hickory, NC.

KeKe is special in the way only a rescue who grew up loved can be — she carries her history, her quirks, and her gratitude in every little thing she does. KeKe doesn’t just meow; she speaks. Her sounds have meaning — the short chirp when she greets us, the drawn-out meow when she wants attention, the soft trill when she’s excited.

The unfortunate event of her situation being so bad that she had to stay overnight is a major unexpected expense. It would mean relief after days and weeks of worry. That moment when you realize you can breathe again because she’s comfortable.
