Wolfie is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Wilmington, NC, who needs $2,000 for Crystalloid Fluid Boluses to Treat Pyothorax.

Wolfie (short for Wolfgang) and his two siblings, Muffy and Birdie, were born in a motel. We retrieved all three kittens with the intention of keeping two but quickly fell in love with them all. They were only 6 weeks old, too young to leave their mom, so they remained very bonded to each other; particularly Wolfie and Birde. Wolfie is still a big baby and especially bonded to his sister Birdie.

Wolfie had an adverse reaction to topical flea treatment and became lethargic and uninterested in his regular activities. It quickly became evident that Wolfie's health was in decline. We rushed him to eastern Carolina Veterinary Referral and discovered Wolfie was in critical condition diagnosed with pyothorax. He remains in critical care, but his prognosis for survival is positive.

Wolfie is the very vocal and must involve himself in all our kitchen activities. We jokingly call him "beggar kitty" because he cannot get enough treats. Our 5-pound chihuahua, Joy has been a mother to Wolfie and his siblings since they came to us. Although Wolfie and his siblings are very big in size, they still allow Joy to scold them when she sees fit and give them baths.

We both became unemployed in the last six months. Our family of 3 is now on government assistance to cover food and health care. When Wolfie became sick we were devastated and heartbroken. We would do anything to help Wolfie live the long and happy life that he so deserves.
