4/25/22 – Janet was found on the streets of Detroit suffering with a sever upper respiratory infection as well as being very emaciated. She was taken to a 24-hour hospital by her rescuer and after considerable cost was released. Before we could help with this bill, the finder was able to get donations and covered the remaining amount. Two weeks later, Jennifer (Janet’s rescuer) took Janet for a follow up visit and Janet was found to have pyometra, a bacterial infection that occurs in the uterus of a cat. Infections occur in sexually intact female cats after they have been in heat. Jennifer said symptoms came quite fast and Janet was immediately taken in for emergency surgery. The surgery entails removal of both the ovaries and uterus. I touched base with Jennifer the other day and Janet is doing great. We were happy to be able to help with the surgery and are also thankful for all of the kind people who also donated to both hospital visits. – diana.
