Emergency Help for Kiki: A Sick Kitten Fighting to Recover

Nine-month-old Kiki was perfectly healthy just hours before everything suddenly changed.

Out of nowhere, this sweet kitten began vomiting repeatedly, stopped eating, and became extremely lethargic. Her caregivers knew something was terribly wrong and rushed her to the emergency vet for help.

Veterinarians quickly performed X-rays and discovered a serious problem. Kiki’s colon was severely backed up with stool and gas, a painful condition that can quickly become life-threatening if left untreated. When a cat’s intestines stop moving properly, pressure builds in the abdomen, causing intense discomfort, vomiting, and dangerous dehydration.

Right now, Kiki is under the care of the team at South Carolina Community Cat Project and receiving urgent veterinary treatment while doctors work to stabilize her condition.

She is currently being treated with:

• Emergency exam and diagnostic X-rays

• IV fluids to treat dehydration

• Medications for nausea and pain

• Treatments to help relieve the intestinal blockage

• Close monitoring and hospitalization

Veterinarians are working to determine whether medical treatment will be enough or if Kiki may need surgery to fully resolve the obstruction.

Cats with severe gastrointestinal complications can decline very quickly without care. Thanks to quick action, Kiki is now getting the lifesaving treatment she needs—but the medical costs are adding up quickly.

4/14/26 Update: Kiki is better!

We wanted to share one last update on Kiki and close out her Waggle campaign with a full heart.

Kiki has continued to show us just how strong she is. She’s been eating well, gaining strength, and soaking up all the love from her foster family. She especially enjoys being held and doted on, and it’s clear she knows she’s safe now and she feels so much better!
