Rey is a DSH kitten in Lutz, FL, who needs $2,000 for an MRI.

Rey and her four brothers were born to an outdoor mama kitty and lived outside until they were scooped up at 5 weeks young. Since then they have been in a foster home, where it was quickly discovered that Rey was very much special needs. She would sometimes get lost and confused in her foster room, unable to find the litter box, staring into space while meowing non-stop.

Rey uses her left paw to feel out the food and water bowls by putting it inside of the bowl before starting to eat or drink. She tends to have a hard time finding her wet food and needs assistance eating. She also always puts that left paw forwards as well when sitting or standing, almost as if she is using it to guide her.

At this time, we desperately need help fundraising for Rey's MRI, which is estimated at $3,700. An MRI would help us confirm, or eliminate some of the potential diagnosis that have come up, such as vestibular issues, or even worse, like a mass.

We have had bloodwork and urinalysis done, which have revealed that Rey has a large amount of protein, blood and crystals in her urine, which is also making her kidney values borderline high. We have started her on prescription food, both dry and wet to hopefully avoid any further issues. Rey has also seen Dr. Levine, a neurologist who is recommending an MRI due to her odd behavior.

Rey has been meowing increasingly more and sometimes no amount of comfort, pets or snuggles helps. She has also started to exhibit very odd behavior by getting on her back feed, swinging back and forth while meowing - video attached. All of these odd behaviors are very concerning and could potentially mean a very serious diagnosis.
