Tortellini's bones were so underdeveloped they became brittle and broke from malnutrition.

About this campaign
This tiny kitten, now named Tortellini, was found dragging herself through the streets. At just 2.5 pounds at 4 months old, Tortellini should be playing as every kitten deserves. Instead, she had to fight pain just to move. Yet, she still tried to drag herself to safety, never losing her will to live.
Tortellini was brought to Bond Vet in a box. At first, it was feared she had been hit by a car. But after examining her, the devoted veterinary team discovered something even more shocking.
Tortellini is severely malnourished, with multiple old fractures and broken bones throughout her tiny body. Her legs are bowed, having never developed properly, likely due to profound nutritional deficiencies during the most critical stages of her growth.
Her medical team immediately fell in love with this sweet soul, determined to give her the best chance to live, and reached out to A Pathway to Hope for help.
They are urgently arranging advanced testing through Michigan State University and an appointment with an internal medicine specialist to determine what can be done to give this precious girl the chance at the life she's never had.
Please help us give Tortellini the advanced medical care she so desperately needs. Every donation brings her one step closer to healing and one step further from a life of pain and suffering.
Thank you for believing that Tortellini deserves a chance at growing into a healthy, happy adult cat.
