this is my 13 year old kitty, mimi.

she was recently diagnosed with feline triaditis, a concurrent inflammation of the pancreas, liver and gall bladder. for the last couple weeks she's been in and out of inpatient treatment.

after being discharged last friday, her condition quickly worsened and she developed hepatic lipidosis. she had to have a feeding tube inserted into her esophagus, which allows me to feed and medicate her with minimal stress at home. this surgery was pretty much our last resort as she will not get better unless she has enough nourishment.

i managed to afford her treatment so far, but she'll still need some expensive medication and food for the next week or two, depending on how fast she starts eating an adequate amount on her own. she'll also have another surgery to remove her feeding tube in a month and some more bloodwork done. this will amount to at least $300, which is more than i can manage alone. i really didn't want to have to do this, but ive spent my savings on her treatment as there is no pet insurance coverage in my area.

please donate or share if you can. any help would be greatly appreciated and a little goes a long way since one dollar equates to almost R$6 in Brazil.

mimi had to be admitted to the hospital again last night, as she was vomiting a lot and very weak. the vet thinks her feeding tube got dislodged due to the vomiting and some of it might have gotten into her lungs.

they're still investigating what is wrong with her, but if the tube really was dislodged she will have to go through surgery again to fix it or remove it.

i'm unsure how long she'll have to stay in the clinic this time and im very very worried about her.

if you could support us in any way, be it by donating, sharing or even sending her some love and positive thinking it would be immensely helpful. thank you so much for your kindness 🩷

mimi passed away yesterday. she was a very sweet and smart kitty who loved chin scratches. she will be terribly missed. i've had her since i was a teenager and the time i had with her was precious, even if i wish i could have a little moment longer.

i'm so grateful to everyone who's kindly helped me through all this. the funds i've raised will be used to pay for her last hospital bill.
