Stripe is a 1 year old American Shorthair in Springfield, TN, who needs $221 for Initial Consult.

Stripe is from a litter we rescued after their feral mother was hit by a car. He led the procession as they came out of hiding looking for food days after their mom passed away. His eyes had not changed color yet he was so young and I lovingly spent weeks bottle feeding him and his siblings. He just turned 1 year old August 3rd. He lives with his brothers and sister. He is loved unconditionally!

We noticed he was wobbling and took him to the vet, the X-ray is in the photos. He needs to see a specialist to see if we can heal him. Blue Pearl Animal Hospital is a place we have come to trust and it's where he will go. He has a couple vertebrae that are closer together than the rest. His brother had also started wobbling at the same time so we are concerned it may be something more.

Stripe talks to me all the time and is always excited to see me. He loves to play with toys and his brothers. He does not like being alone. He loves to eat and asks for treats. He will lay beside me and nuzzle and hold onto my arm to let me know he cares. He's a curious kitten as shown in the photo of him peeking under the blanket. He is full of love.

Due to my health it's hard for me to make money, but I'm doing what I can. My other half works hard, but with the rise in prices we are barely getting by. It hurts my heart to see Stripe suffer and would mean the world to me and him to have help getting the necessary funds.
