✨Senior Pet Spotlight✨
Meet Ollie, a 17 year young kitty who you may have seen a photo of on the wall of our lobby! Ollie was found injured as a kitten in rural Nebraska, and taken in by a young animal lover who got him medical care and a permanent home.
Throughout the years Ollie has faced a few medical complications, including the loss of his eye when he was around 10 years old (a long term complication from his prior injuries). When he was around 12, routine bloodwork showed the beginning stages of kidney failure, which is very common in older kitties.
Ollie receives regular subcutaneous fluids to supplement hydration, which in turn helps the kidneys function properly, as well as medications that are used to support kidney detoxification to improve overall wellbeing.
With this TLC, Ollie’s years have been extended, as well as a marked improvement in his quality of life. At 17, he still plays with the other cats in his home, terrorizes the dogs in his home, and gives the best snuggles to his human companions. We are so happy to be able to continue his care for as long as he needs.
