Reese is a 2-month-old Domestic Shorthair in Hawthorne, NJ, who needs $2,000 for Emergency Hospitalization.

Kittens are so incredibly fragile, and without the help of A Pathway to Hope, a kitten named Reese would have perished. Reese was found laying in the heat in a flowerpot (as seen in her main photo) for hours, eyes sealed shut, lethargic and fading away – until their team quickly mobilized and rushed her to the hospital.

Reese was covered in fleas, suffering from an upper respiratory infection and so anemic that she required an emergency blood transfusion – and she seemed to bounce back and was released from the hospital. Sadly, Reese quickly deteriorated overnight in foster. She was quickly rushed back to the hospital with lethargy, lack of appetite, and labored breathing concerns.

She was not eating, was put on oxygen, ran a fever, and awaited chest x-rays. Reese also had to repeat bloodwork to determine if she had any red blood cells left to fight off the infection that was overtaking her tiny body. Vets believe Reese’s upper respiratory infection worsened in her lungs, possibly into pneumonia.

This gorgeous, frightened girl is learning to trust and truly has found her second chance at life. A Pathway to Hope could use your support in helping fund her medical care so they can continue their mission of life-saving work.
