Small kitten born with devastating disease refuses to give up. He continues to fight and is an inspiration to us all. Read Dobi's story and learn how you can help him fight to survive. 

Dobi was found abandoned with his littermates on the street by a local rescue who took over their care. While his siblings grew stronger and larger, he remained half their size and weak.

It became clear that something was seriously wrong when Dobi developed lameness in his hind legs. He lost all interest in playing and was rushed to a vet to be examined. He continued to decline as tests were performed to try and find the cause.

After months of unclear answers, specialists confirmed advanced metabolic bone disease. Dobi has multiple fractures across his limbs, spinal deformities, and dangerously low calcium levels. His hind legs need to be stabilized with splints, and ongoing hospitalized treatment to give him a fighting chance.

His treatment protocol has changed countless times as his health fluctuated. In addition to his intensive care, he is receiving therapy with active Vitamin D and calcium to help strengthen his bones.

He has a long and costly road to recovery and needs your support. 

Dobi has endured immense pain and suffering, but he continues to fight for his life while making friends with his caretakers. This little kitten needs our help to get the care he needs to survive. Donate today.
