Pipsqueak is a 8 month old Mix-Breed in Winsted , CT, who needs $2,000 for Exploratory Surgery to Remove Foreign Matter.

Pipsqueak was a part of a hoarding case with a homeless man that I assisted him with. He tried his best, but was in a situation himself. There were several adults and kittens in some harsh conditions. Pip has always been the smallest. Most of her siblings were adopted. My fosters live in my home with me until placement. This kitten was special. Intelligent, sweet as honey, gentle & a cuddle bug!

I fist took Pip to my vet for bloodwork and fluids/meds. Nothing came back. He thought it was FIP. I started black market meds immediately to try and save her. No changes. I then took her to a specialty vet (Central Hospital for Vet Medicine in N. Haven, CT). They immediately saw a partial obstruction in her intestines. She was operated on the following morning.

This little kitty struggled being the smallest and sickest from the beginning with upper respiratory infections and calici, anemia, dehydration, parasites. She has persevered through some difficult times and still is the sweetest, loving little soul. She knows that she is loved and I will foster fail with her. She has found her forever home.

I am a typical rescuer. I've been involved with rescuing animals in some capacity for over 20 years. The tiny rescue I am a part of does not have the funding to assist with any of the extras or specialty vets. All out of my money. I support myself with my sole income.
