HELP!!!

 

I have (2) kitties that NEED OUT TODAY!!!

 

1.      Chaka Khan A430317 – cat was brought in on 5/23. We did radiographs and realized she has two fractures in her jaw. She is trying to use her tongue, but has not successfully eaten any food on her own. EVERYONE has fallen in love with this cat. Her body looks like she was well taken care of (she is not AT ALL skinny). Our vets believe the injury took place the day she was brought in. The reports state that she was attacked by a dog. She is super loveable and although she has to be experiencing an IMMENSE amount of pain, she is still head-butting all of the clinic staff. Our clinic staff is doing all they can to make sure she isn’t in any pain and is getting some sort of nutrients (they have been force feeding her gently). Chaka Khan is attempting to groom herself and trying to drink water on her own.

2.      Emma A430384 – this kitty was just brought in and has an estimated 1.5 out of 9 for her body condition scoring. She is SUPER skinny. It is very apparent by the smell that she has some serious dental disease going on her in her mouth. It absolutely BREAKS my heart. She was attempting to scarf down the food, but with the dental disease she is only getting about 50% of the food actually in her mouth and down into her tummy. I should not hold this cat – but I figured since I was tapping into my rock star rescues about Chaka Khan, skinny Emma may have a chance too. I just can’t in good conscious not try on her when she is trying SOOOO hard to survive on her own. She has tested combo negative!

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, I am begging you for your help!!! I will have them ready to go in the next 5 minutes if someone can help me!

 

Thank you,
