Yuri is a 5-year-old Siamese Cat in Lake Worth, FL, who needs $2,000 for Hospitalization for High Grade Fever and URI.

Yuri was brought into the rescue with his bonded kitty friend Zelda. They came from a low-income rural area where they were once stray kittens but were brought inside and cared for as best as the person could. However, they had both become sick. Zelda overcame her URI quickly with antibiotics but Yuri rapidly declined and the antibiotics did not resolve his infection.

Yuri is the sweetest boy. He is so loving and will rub up against anyone begging for attention. He and Zelda are so bonded; when his foster took him to the vet for treatment, Zelda was watching from the window, wondering where her best friend was going. They are inseparable and both so loving and sweet.

Yuri and Zelda both are trained to perch on shoulders and will let you walk around with them on your shoulder. Yuri is also such a lap cat and just wants to be with you all the time. He wins over everyone that he meets. They both had a meet and greet with a potential adopter and even though she had seen 6 other cats, Yuri's sweet personality made her want to adopt them!

Zelda had an upper respiratory infection when they were brought into the rescue. After she started treatment with antibiotics, Yuri came down with an upper respiratory infection as well. While the antibiotics worked quickly and completely resolved Zelda's infection, Yuri's continued to worsen and he started running a high grade fever that would not come down with subq fluids.

We have been hit with so many medical bills lately and are unable to keep up financially. We have so many cats and kittens to feed and provide basic care for, and these emergency visits hit us so hard. We need Yuri to get better so he can be adopted.
