About this campaign
Rescuer MyBellaTNR contacted me with a desperate plea to send sweet, friendly 6 month old Ventana to the ER where I started a Community Medical Fund for ownerless cats/dogs to get life saving medical care. She'd suddenly stopped eating, vomited, & wasn't herself. It was dire. Something was seriously wrong. Shortly after admission, we found out what that something was. Parvo. Aka paneleukemia
Poor Ventana is fighting for her life due to Parvo in the isolation room at Connecticut Veterinary Center, West Hartford. She's on IV fluids, multiple strong antibiotics to treat UTI, diarrhea. vomiting. Her white blood cells are virtually non existent & her temperature hit 106 at its highest. Despite her disease, she appears bright & alert, meowing for attention & love She's being syringe fed
Ventana came to the rescuers attention when she heard that she was climbing up windows of people's homes in Hartford. Trying to get in. So she got the name Ventana ("Window" in Spanish). She's sweet. Friendly. Loves attention and petting. And didn't deserve this life threatening illness. Only 20-25% of kittens survive Parvo. My community medical fund gives strays a chance for life-saving care
Ventana is in the care of MyBellaTNR rescue. They sought the help of my Community Medical Fund because they are drowning in vet bills & couldn't afford to treat Ventana without my fund. She needs supportive care in the ICU until she's out of the woods. Could be weeks.
Urgent: Donations still needed for Ventana. Ventana beat the odds and survived Parvo as a kitten, but is now experiencing severe diarrhea from Coccidia, most likely from an opportunistic infection from Parvo ravaging her GI tract. The added costs due to meds for diarrhea, fecal samples and recheck of fecal in 2 weeks to ensure the meds are working- have made her balance difficult to pay off. We're close and could really use your help! She was recently well enough to be spayed which was also very important! Thank you for your support.
