About this campaign

Meet Loki, a sweet and spirited four-year-old cat who is now fighting for his life after developing a severe urinary obstruction and complications from FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease). What started as a few days of lethargy quickly turned into a heartbreaking medical emergency that no family was prepared for.

Loki’s mom rushed him to the emergency vet after realizing something was terribly wrong. He was diagnosed with a painful urethral obstruction — a condition that can quickly become fatal without immediate treatment. Since then, Loki has already undergone catheterization procedures twice after suffering repeat blockages. Now, veterinarians suspect a urethral tear, and Loki is also battling severe anemia, even after receiving a blood transfusion.

Right now, Loki remains hospitalized under close veterinary supervision. He requires ongoing intensive care, including urinary catheter management, constant monitoring of his PCV levels, medications, and supportive treatment to keep him stable while doctors determine when he will be strong enough for the next step in his care — a lifesaving PU surgery that could prevent future blockages.

The cost of Loki’s emergency hospitalization and continued treatment has already reached $6,289.56, and it continues to grow each day he remains in critical care. Thankfully, Paws 4 A Cure has stepped in with a generous $400 grant, but Loki’s family still urgently needs help raising $2,194 to continue his treatment and give him the chance to recover.

Loki is not just a cat — he is family. His mom has loved him since he was only a tiny kitten. One of their children owned Loki’s father, and the family instantly fell in love with him while helping care for the litter. Since then, Loki has grown into the goofy, clever, lovable companion everyone adores.

True to his name, inspired by the Marvel character Loki, he is sneaky, smart, mischievous, and full of personality. He keeps everyone laughing with his antics and fills their home with joy and love every single day. His family cannot imagine life without him. Now they are doing everything possible to save him — but they cannot do it alone.

Loki still has so much life ahead of him. His veterinarians remain hopeful, but time and continued medical care are critical. Every donation, no matter the size, helps cover his hospitalization, ongoing treatment, and the surgery he desperately needs to survive and avoid future painful blockages.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help Loki continue fighting. If you are unable to donate, sharing his story can make an enormous difference and help this loving family reach more people.
