Selena is a 1 month old Mix-Breed in Lakewood, CA, who needs $6,000 for ICU Oxygen Chamber & IV Antibiotic Therapy.

Selena came into my life as a 2-week-old vulnerable rescue orphan. I am a volunteer foster mom with Long Beach Animal Care Services, and she was assigned to my care because she needed round-the-clock bottle feeding to survive. We have been together for just a short, intense couple of weeks, but when you are waking up every few hours to feed a tiny baby, you form a deep, maternal bond.

Hospital: VCA Advanced Animal Hospital.Status: Selena is a 6wk orphan foster with severe aspiration pneumonia. She survived cardiac arrest and a coma at 2 AM. X-rays show lung consolidation. She is awake and stable but relies on an ICU chamber at 40% oxygen to breathe. She requires IV antibiotics, fluids, and a 2nd night in ICU to safely wean down to room air.

Selena is a miracle colorpoint kitten who survived a coma and cardiac arrest through pure fighting spirit. She forms an instant, deep maternal bond with her human, communicating with a beautiful, vocal personality. Despite her tiny size, she loves to pounce, explore, and play with toys, bringing immense joy and a bright light to her foster home

As a volunteer foster mom, I’m facing a sudden, devastating $6,000 emergency bill alone. Selena is currently improving, and the second day is absolutely critical to her chances of growing up!
