Give Paula a Chance to Explore Her World

Tiny Paula is fighting to get the healthy start in life that every kitten deserves.

At just 2 months old, this little stray kitten should be spending her days exploring the world, playing, and growing stronger. Instead, Paula found herself needing urgent veterinary care after becoming unwell with persistent sneezing and concerning nasal and eye discharge.

For such a young kitten, even what may seem like a common illness can quickly become serious. Living on the streets without proper nutrition, shelter, or medical care leaves vulnerable kittens like Paula at much greater risk of infection and complications.

When Paula was brought to the hospital, the veterinary team immediately performed an examination and reviewed her blood work to determine the best course of treatment. She received supportive care, including subcutaneous fluids to help combat dehydration, as well as antibiotics and medications designed to reduce inflammation, support her recovery, and give her tiny body the help it desperately needs.

While Paula is now receiving treatment, her journey isn't over. She has been prescribed ongoing medication that must be continued at home, and she is scheduled to return to the veterinary clinic for a follow-up examination soon. At that appointment, her progress will be assessed and her treatment plan adjusted if necessary to ensure she continues moving in the right direction.

The good news is that Paula was found in time. With proper veterinary care, ongoing treatment, and plenty of love, she has every chance of overcoming this illness and growing into a happy, healthy cat.

Baw Baw Animal Welfare is committed to giving Paula that chance, but every examination, medication, and follow-up visit comes at a cost. We are asking for your support to help cover Paula's veterinary care and recovery. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. If you're unable to donate, sharing Paula's story helps us reach more people who may be able to help.

Paula has already shown how much she wants to keep fighting. Together, we can give this tiny kitten the future she deserves.
