Save our beautiful kitten :'(

This is Tobi. She is a tabby cat and was found as part of a cat litter on the streets. About a year ago, we decided to take one of the kittens for adoption, and since then, Tobi has brought her warmth, excitement and joy into the house. However, in recent months she has been experiencing a heavy amount of seizures. Tobi has been diagnosed with "congenital portosystemic shunt", which has been the cause of her symptoms. The shunt is curable permanently via surgery and short-term medication. Unfortunately the only alternative to surgery is to place her on long-term medication and euthanise her when the toxins and seizures overwhelm her in couple of years. She's only 14 months old right now.

We have spent all our travel savings into treating Tobi's symptoms prior to her diagnosis and is currently facing financial hardship. The vet specialist at Carrington Road in Mt Albert estimated that it will take about $7,500 to treat Tobi of the shunt. We can't afford that at the moment and we need help from the community if we want to see this ball of joy to survive. Her upcoming surgery will provide her with a fresh start and free her from the periodic seizures. Life under this house would not be the same without our adopted fluffy family member.
