Lucas was a special kitty. He passed away suddenly on 8/12/2017. He was diagnosed with Hypofibrinogenemia (his blood does NOT clot) when he was a little kitty. This page is to bring awareness to this rare disorder. Lucas was a rescued kitty, he was found outside in a cat colony where they were mass fixing all the cats there. Calling all Cats Rescue took him in, covered in ringworm, loaded with par
asites. We got him all better, he was adopted by one of the members of CACR, & now it was time to be neutered. A very simple procedure that turned into a nightmare. He got neutered, I brought him home, & the next 4 days he continued to spot blood from his incisions, which is not normal. We rushed him to the hospital where they diagnosed him & gave him a 30% chance of living. We were devastated. He also has the rare blood type B in cats, but thankfully the hospital had type B blood. They began plasma & blood transfusions on him. He stayed at the hospital for some time & he made it! He's a fighter. Now Lucas is living the life, he fought every battle that was put in front of him, and of coarse, he will always need special attention that "normal" cats do not need, but you would never know unless told. Lucas is an awesome cat, and I am happy that his life had, and still has meaning, and that all of us who cared about him never stopped fighting to save him! WE LOVE YOU DUKESTER!
