When we got her, we had no clue (like our other special fur babies) what to do in order to help her, but we did know, we wouldn’t let the animal control to kill her because her condition.
Every single day having and feeding Lilly was two sides challenge, hers; painful eating and lack of energy for a young cat, and ours; to make sure she was eating standing otherwise she could aspire and get pneumonia or even chock.
