Chronic Medical Issues and Multiple Vet Visits

Morris is a sick boy. Morris was suffering from chronic diarrhea, and seemed unable gain or keep weight on. After several trips to the vet, they diagnosed poor Morris with Irritable Bowel Disease (among other conditions) and prescribed medication. Unfortunately, his owners just couldn't manage to medicate him, and returned/surrendered him to Homeward Trails. That was in 2018. 

Morris has been in our care ALL THIS TIME. When he came (back) to us, he was just 4 pounds (roughly half his healthy body weight). Since then, he has been living with his foster, working with folks that have committed themselves to seeing him recover and heal. 

Over the months and years, he has had numerous vet visits and treatments, exams and bloodwork to monitor his conditions and keep him healthy. He is currently on a number of transdermal medications (the only type of medication Morris will tolerate) - which he takes very well!

However, the only way to treat the Irritable Bowel Disease causing him so much discomfort, is by using steroids. These strong steroids, while effective, take a toll on his little body and cause facial sores, like the ones pictured. 

Between his list of medications, his recurring vet visits and treatments, Morris has racked up quite the bill! We are committed to helping this little guy manage his condition and find the best life possible. But we need help covering his ongoing expenses.

PS - Morris is available for adoption! Yes, he has some long-term medical needs. But who doesn't?! In a word, Morris is a CUDDLER! His favorite place to be is in your lap. He may even snooze behind your head while you work from the couch. He is a gentle, loving cat with a lot of life left to live! He is declawed, and just 10 years old. To manage his medical conditions, he get meds 2x a day plus fluids every week and a B-12 shot every 2 weeks. They are easy to give and Morris doesn't fuss about them at all.
