Elphaba
A Tiny Kitten With a Big Fight Ahead: Help Elphaba
NY, NY • NY Cat Warriors
Elphaba is only about 11 weeks old. He is an active, sweet, affectionate little boy who is eating on his own. But something is clearly very wrong. Elphaba was found alone outside someone's window, with no one knowing how he got there. When he arrived at the Queens ACC, he appeared disoriented and seemed unable to see. He was unsteady on his feet and fell toward his left side. His vision and coordination were not normal, and ACC veterinarians were concerned that he may have suffered a head injury, although other medical causes are possible. They considered his prognosis uncertain. Despite everything he has been through, Elphaba has shown that he is a little fighter. He needs our help, however. NY Cat Warriors has accepted Elphaba into our care from the Queens ACC so that he can receive the veterinary care he needs. His initial medical evaluation and basic care have been completed, including bloodwork, X-rays, parasite treatment, vaccination, and FeLV/FIV testing. He tested negative for FeLV and FIV. But this is only the beginning. Elphaba needs continued veterinary monitoring and further diagnostic testing to determine what is causing his balance problems and possible vision loss and whether it is treatable. Your donation will help pay for Elphaba's: ● Neurology and eye specialist evaluation ● Additional diagnostic testing and imaging, as recommended by his veterinary team ● Medications and supportive care ● Safe medical foster care ● Follow-up treatment based on his diagnosis ● Eventual neuter surgery once he is medically stable Every gift, no matter the size, helps us say yes to a kitten whose medical needs are greater than the resources immediately available to him. He deserves the chance to grow up safe, comfortable, and loved and not to have his future decided before we know what is wrong. Please donate if you can, and share Elphaba’s story. With the right foster home, proper diagnostics, and compassionate veterinary care, this tiny survivor may have a chance to overcome whatever happened to him, find a loving forever home, and live a long, happy life. Help us give Elphaba the answers, care, and future he deserves.
