About this campaign

When NY Cat Warriors rescued Newt, Toast, and Baby Veg from a hoarding situation, all three kittens came into their care with medical issues and in need of help.

Toast, a young tabby, was suffering from severe diarrhea and an upper respiratory infection. One of his eyes was so swollen that it was completely shut, requiring immediate veterinary attention.

Newt, a little black kitten, was also battling an upper respiratory infection and was vomiting when he came into the rescue's care.

Baby Veg, the white and black kitten, was part of the same group rescued from the hoarding situation and, like the others, arrived with medical concerns of his own.

These kittens had already been through far too much at such a young age, but with veterinary treatment and the dedicated care of their foster families, they have been given the chance to recover.

Toast's eye is improving, his appetite has returned, and he is now eating like a champion. Although he remains shy and a little skittish, he continues to show everyone what a brave little boy he is.

Newt has been just as resilient. He may be understandably tired of all the medications and treatment, but he continues taking everything in stride as he works toward feeling better.

Unfortunately, the group recently encountered another medical setback.

As Newt was preparing to go to a foster-to-adopt home, testing revealed that he has coccidia, an intestinal parasite that can cause gastrointestinal illness, particularly in vulnerable young kittens. Because Newt, Toast, and Baby Veg all came from the same hoarding situation, there is concern that the entire group was exposed. NY Cat Warriors is treating the kittens with Albon to address the coccidia and help them continue on the road to recovery.

The good news is that their eye infections are resolving, and these little ones are moving in the right direction. But getting three kittens healthy after such a difficult start takes time, medication, veterinary care, and a lot of hands on support.

Your donation will help NY Cat Warriors cover the veterinary expenses, medications, treatment, and follow up care Newt, Toast, and Baby Veg need as they continue recovering from the medical problems they brought with them from the hoarding situation.

Newt, Toast, and Baby Veg have already made it out of a difficult situation. Now they need help getting through the next part of their journey.

Please consider donating to help NY Cat Warriors give these three kittens the care they need to leave their illnesses behind and move toward the healthy, safe futures they deserve.
