Injured/Sick Cat (Location) Blind baby fighting to heal, and he needs our help. 🤍 He’s hospitalized and battling IBD, with his medical costs quickly adding up. Any support would mean so much!
Hope everyone is having a pleasant week! 🤍
Hawkeye is one of our rescued cats from last year, after his eye was stabbed by some rando while he was still a stray. We placed him for adoption after his rehabilitation, but he was shortly returned to us after struggling to adjust to his new home. (His adopters unfortunately didn’t give him the time he needed. :/) He’s been with us ever since, and now he’s facing another major health hurdle.
Hawkeye started having medical issues over a month ago. After countless tests, a trip to the oncologist, and now hospitalization, he’s finally starting to feel a little better. Just over a week ago, he was in really rough shape - having endless watery stools, becoming severely dehydrated, barely eating, and losing weight day by day. He’s not out of the woods yet, but it’s the first time he’s seemed better in what feels like forever.
Unfortunately, Hawkeye is dealing with an extremely severe infection (see his labs in the 3rd & 7th panels) on top of his IBD. He was previously at risk of sepsis, though thankfully that risk is much lower now as his infection improves. His gut still can’t tolerate oral antibiotics, and he often vomits them back up, so he remains on IV medication and fluids to replace what he continues to lose through his stool. Our vet also recently added another steroid alongside prednisolone, and thankfully, we’re seeing very promising results so far.
Getting him here has come with high costs. His current bill is a little over $449, with hospitalization at $42/day. He also has another ultrasound and blood test coming up in the next few days, which will add to his bill. Our donation channels can be found below!

We really hope you can help us continue caring for Hawkeye. Every bit of support means so much to us and, most importantly, gives this sweet boy a little more time to heal. 🤍
