Feb. 23 UPDATE
-
Thank YOU for helping Mila get to the vet! The funds received thus far covered the first vet visit and a 30-day supply of FIP medicine. The vet visit included an exam, labs and an antibiotic shot.
-
Mila has stomatitis and needs dental work, but first, she must be treated for FIP. We’re expecting medicine for FIP treatment to arrive on Mon. Feb. 24 and will give Mila a first dose immediately.
-
Mila will need more labs in a few weeks to monitor kidney function among other things.
-
Estimated upcoming medical expenses:
Low = $752
High = $1,082
-
Now in foster care with a sweet and attentive foster mom, Mila is est. to be two years old. She arrived sick, in pain, and smelling bad from a dental infection and lack of grooming. We believe mouth pain also caused her to stop grooming herself.

FEB. 12 UPDATE
-
On Sun. Feb. 9, Mila went into foster care with an excellent and caring foster. She is very sweet and friendly! On Mon., we took her to the vet. The vet gave her a Convenia (antibiotic shot). We know she needs dental work and are awaiting lab results. The vet did not want to prescribe pain meds until lab results are in. We are providing soft, smooth wet foods with high nutrition.

FEB. 9 UPDATE
-
Mila has a foster! Her transport is in progress now. We will take her to the vet tomorrow.
-
FEB 8. UPDATE #2
-
Mila needs foster space, either short-term (2 nights) or for the duration of treatment preferably in either Huntington Beach or Pasadena.
-
We have to get Mila to a vet’s office in Huntington Beach at 7:45 am on Monday.
-
Because Mila has had horrible mouth pain for weeks, I went ahead and booked an appointment for her with a Huntington Beach veterinarian and am working on getting her transported from Barstow in advance of the appointment.

FEB. 8 UPDATE #1
-
Thank YOU to everyone that shared Mila and donated toward her care! We have received enough to cover a consult and maybe help with some diagnostics, so I called and got her worked in with a vet on Monday. YOU made this happen! I will update you as soon as I know more. Because she is being worked in, I may not have an update before Monday evening.
-
Barstow, CA. She wants to eat, but SEVERE MOUTH PAIN causes her to pound the floor. FOSTER URGENTLY NEEDED! Temporary fostering is an option (*). RESCUES WELCOME.
-
Mila appeared on a Barstow property and a resident took her inside because Mila was in such poor shape. The resident is on a very limited income and cannot afford the cost of Mila’s support and medical care.
-
YOU can help Mila. She needs: vet care funds, foster care, and later, an adoption venue. Rescues are welcome. Contact Cat Rescue Team.
-
If donations are submitted for Mila and another rescue steps up to treat her, the funds will be forwarded to pay for her care.
-
DONATION INFORMATION IS HERE.

(*) The resident that took Mila inside would prefer that the foster/rescue be able to hold Mila until she is adopted, however, due to Mila's urgent need for medical care, we will accept temporary fostering because we need to bring her to the LA/Pasadena area for care.

Video was provided by the resident that initially took Mila into her home and called us.
