Meet five kitties in desperate need of care

01. Hippie 🐾

My name is Hippie and I am a 9-10 week old male kitten. I was a healthy, playful kitten until I took a terrible turn. I came down with an upper respiratory infection that developed into a serious eye infection as well. I have not been able to get back on my feet with any of the antibiotics. My eye is terrible and I need to see an ophthalmologist as well. I am so sick. Estimated initial emergency / ophthalmologist cost $1000. Will you please consider helping me get better? — Furry thanks, Hippie

02. Mitch 🐾

Hi there! My name is Mitch, I am a cute little 7 month old kitten, looking for a new human best friend. As soon as I meet you, I will climb straight into your lap. I enjoy playing and will chase a wand toy around in circles over and over again. My cute little meow is sure to melt your heart. I have a level 3 heart murmur*, and Kitty Connection is setting up this fundraiser for my echocardiogram and blood work which are estimated to cost $875. But this doesn’t stop me from eating, playing and birdwatching like the strong tiny tiger than I am. I would love another kitten best friend in my life too. *A level 3 heart murmur is considered medium-intensity and moderately loud but not palpable. With proper and effective treatment, cats can live for many years. Please consider helping me cover my costs. Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart! — With lots of purrs and kisses, Mitch

03. Snow Owl 🐾

Hi there! My name is Snow Owl and I’m a 2-4 yr old male cat. A nice lady saw me when she was feeding the colony I was in and realized I needed help. She contacted different people to see if someone could help me. KittyConnection saw my photo and wanted to help! I have entropion of the eyes which means my eyelids are growing inside. This is causing me a lot of discomfort. I need to have surgery to correct them and it would be best to do this as soon as possible to relieve my pain. Please, please help me get this surgery and get rid of my discomfort and maybe I can even get adopted after. The total cost is $3500. — With lots of purrs and kisses, Snow Owl

04. Mario

Hi, I’m Mario! I like window seats & trying to chase bees through the window. I came to Kitty Connection with a broken pelvis, but they saved my life by helping me get surgery last month.

When the surgeon opened me up, they said my pelvis was damaged into several pieces… but they were able to maneuver muscles & attach onto my hip joint. Phew! Now I’m in the eight-week process of healing & living in a dog crate… it’s been tough, but I’m a “real trooper.” However, I’ve been limping a bit, and I still need x-rays and additional care, as it looks like bone might be extending. Will you help pay for my hospital visits? — Luv, Mario

05. Hairball 🐾

Hi there! My name is Hairball, I’m a 10-week old kitten and sibling to Hippie, listed at the top of this page. I may look like I’m in better shape than Hippie is… but I’m starting to have problems, too. Thank you in advance for helping me with my eye condition!
