Tigger's Tummy

Tigger's had a rough year. She lost her home when her owner died and was surrendered to a shelter. Things appeared to be turning around when she made her way to DC and took up residence at Crumbs & Whiskers Cat Cafe Experience. But the good times didn't last for long - Tigger stopped eating and started losing weight.

She couldn't be tempted with even the most delicious foods so she ended up at the vet to determine the cause of her appetite loss. She's had blood work, an ultrasound, and an x-ray and the results reinforced what a special kitty she is. She's suffered several broken ribs at some point in her life, has a hernia of her diaphragm and pancreatitis. Most kitties would be depressed facing these challenges. Not Tigger! She's showing the vet her winning personality.

In order to get better (and we believe she can), she has to get over the hump of not eating. We've tried every other option, but Tigger is getting a feeding tube to make sure she doesn't go into liver failure. She can't eat on her own right now, but that's okay - we're going to make sure she gets enough calories so she can turn it around. She has a lot of life left to live, she just needs our help now more than ever. No one wants to tell her we can't afford her medical care - we know together we can do it!
