Soon after sweet Noel came to Homeward Trails from a rural shelter, his foster noticed that he was not eating well. She tried a variety of food to entice him and even spoon fed him. Despite her best efforts, Noel would not eat so he went to the vet for an assessment. At first he was put on IV fluids and monitored. Later X-rays revealed a blockage and possible foreign object in his intestinal tract. Noel underwent exploratory surgery to remove the blockage which turned out to be a hard mass inside of him. After the surgery he spent several more days at the vet for monitoring and supportive care. He has since returned to his foster home where he is recovering and has regained his appetite and weight. Donations towards Noel's surgery and in-patient care help us to rescue other cats in need.
