Shayn is a Stray in Flushing , NY, who needs $800 for an eye infection, upper respiratory infection, feline virus & needs to be fixed, vaccinated and de-wormed.

I moved into a new apartment a couple of months ago. Upon seeing the place, the first thing I noticed before even going inside, was a stray female cat that looked to be around 3-4. The landlord then told me she is a stray who she feeds, so she hangs around in the backyard. She also told me that she just gave birth & has 2 new born kittens, one being little Shayn, who is suddenly very sick.

After moving into this place, my boyfriend & I took responsibility of feeding them regularly each day. Because of this, they don’t wonder too far from home. It’s been amazing watching the little ones grow. Shayn and the rest of them usually run when trying to be pet , but since he has not been feeling well, he has let me hold him. He is such a sweetheart and deserves so much better.

I’m asking for help because due to COVID I’m struggling as it is to make ends meet. I would do absolutely anything for this little guy to recover, but I don’t have the funds. I’m so heartbroken & want to save him. I wouldn’t ask for help if it wasn’t absolutely necessary.

My goal was at first to get them all fixed, vaccinated, de-wormed & to be brought back to me. I ordered them an outdoor shelter since the weather is getting cold & the beds I have outside for them aren’t enough. But with Shayn being so sick, I’m doing everything in my power to speed his process along & get him medical attention. It could be a virus or URI & I need to act fast.

I knew I was going to become attached to these guys one way or another. I grew especially attached to Shayn. He was fine until last Sunday morning, when he showed up with his eyes so runny they glued shut, along with his nasal airways. I cleaned him up the following day, but he was still breathing heavy, not wanting to move & not eating. He NEEDS help!
