Give hope to Rescued Kitten Juniper as She Battles a Mysterious Illness
Wellington, FL • Community cat medical fund
Juniper is a tiny kitten with a big spirit. She was trapped at a car shop and brought into rescue through Community Cat Medical Fund to begin her journey toward a better life. After her spay, though, Juniper’s foster quickly realized something was wrong—her temperature spiked to a dangerous 104°. She was rushed to the vet for bloodwork and hospitalization so she could be closely monitored. Despite the care she received, her fever continued to rise and fall unpredictably, with no clear cause. After thorough testing, Juniper was given the difficult diagnosis of fever of unknown origin. This sweet little kitten has already been through so much, and while her vets work hard to stabilize her, the cost of her care has added up quickly. Juniper’s emergency bill poses a heavy financial burden for our small, volunteer-run rescue. Community Cat Medical Fund is committed to ensuring that Juniper gets every chance to recover and grow into the healthy, playful kitten she deserves to be. But we cannot do this without you. Update 10/1/25 After a week at the vet, Juniper was fortunately stabilized enough to go to her foster home—and she hasn't had any other fevers! We have since run further blood work, which thankfully did not show any major concerns. Though Juniper's physical recovery is steadily on the mend, we are desperately trying to recover the funds required for her emergency care—which totaled over $1,050 for over a week spent at the vet. It's not an easy sum for a small rescue, and we could truly use all the help we can get. Every single ounce of support is so very appreciated, by Juniper AND by us. Update 11/12/25 We’re thrilled to share that Juniper has fully recovered! This brave little kitten has come such a long way since her frightening fever and long hospital stay. Her energy is back in full force—she’s playful, curious, and always ready to chase a toy or climb into a cozy lap for snuggles. Juniper’s personality has truly blossomed in her foster home. She loves attention, purrs the moment you pick her up, and adores playing with other cats. After everything she’s overcome, she’s now healthy, happy, and ready to find her forever family!
Sunny
Sunny was rescued from the streets with a mysterious infection- help him heal!
Wellington, FL • Community cat medical fund
Sunny’s rescue journey began when he was trapped at a local car dealership and brought to safety through Community Cat Medical Fund. After his neuter appointment, his foster noticed something was very wrong—his temperature had spiked to 104°. With no visible signs of infection but a dangerously high fever, Sunny was rushed to the emergency vet late at night for fluids and pain relief. By the next morning, his fever was gone, but we were told to keep a close watch. A week later, Sunny’s foster noticed a troubling change—he wasn’t himself. Concerned, we brought him back to the vet. Initial bloodwork looked normal, but his symptoms persisted. X-rays revealed something alarming: Sunny’s spleen was enlarged. To get answers, we approved further testing. The results confirmed a difficult diagnosis: mycoplasma hemofelis, a parasitic infection that attacks the red blood cells. Our vet explained that this condition had likely been brewing quietly, and the stress of surgery triggered it to the surface. Sunny has now begun a 30-day treatment plan with Doxycycline, gabapentin, and steroids. With proper care, he has a strong chance to recover—but the unexpected emergency visits, diagnostics, and ongoing medications have created a heavy financial strain for our small, volunteer-run organization. Update 10/1/5 Sunny is doing really well! He has been getting his daily medications and has been bright and alert. We have a follow-up appointment with the vet coming up where we will see if we can taper him off his medications.
