So, life sucks.

On Thursday night my sister's gorgeous cat Zapp got hit by a car. At first look it seemed that Zapp just had a broken leg and a shocked tail. The vet has been taking care of Zapp all weekend and it seems that his kidneys might be failing. He needs to be taken to intensive care and poor Cati (my sister) and Rolf can't afford it. Everyone is very upset cause we really love Zapp.

Cati and Rolf are coming over later today (they didn't say what time). I don't know what they're going to decide. It's not my cat so I can't really push for them to spend the money on the cat. All I know is that he is a painfully beautiful little guy, a real sweetheart and that if he does go, I'm going to miss him like hell cause David (Cati and Rolf's son) would bring him around to visit Rogie and they would both play together.

Here are some pictures of Zapp. He's a beautiful boy and I adore him. If you could send a prayer for him, please do.













ETA: I went to visit him. He's in pain but I can see there's fight in him. They were going to put him down today but they're giving him 24 hours to see if his kidneys are really broke. If he does a good pee then there's hope. So pray - pray for that cat to pee a good pee.

There may be hope, as cats heal ridiculously well. As my cat's surgeon explained it, "put two bones in a room for half an hour, come back and you'll have a cat".

Best wishes and thoughts towards healing.

If they need help with money, put up a paypal account and Sonia and I will donate. (We had to do the same thing when our cat got hit.)

This is so sad. :-(
He's so cute.
I really hope he gets better...

Praying for him

I'll be hoping the best for Zappie and that he pulls through. He's such a beautiful cat and hope he will be around for many more years in your family.

I have a Paypal but I'm going to see how he goes overnight. They're not *entirely* sure how his kidneys are doing. There are elevated enzyme levels and that's a bit alarming but they need to wait to see if they're producing urine or not to be sure whether to put him down or not.

He really is a beautiful cat. Thanks for your thoughts.

Oh goodness, he's beautiful.

*sending good vibes*

He is. Such a sweet little soul, too. Never hurt anyone, never cratched a person, even once. Quiet and sweet and lovely. Thanks. *hugs*

Awwww, poor thing. He's a cutie. I hope he pulls through.

Oh wow.

I hope he's okay. <3

Zapp is really beautiful! I'm not much of a cat girl, but even I can see that.

I hate to see pets suffer. They seem so fragile and I feel completely helpless to do something.

I hope he'll be okay *prays*

I'll donate, Nancy, if it'll help.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I don't know if it will. There's not a lot that can be done if his kidneys have packed it in. I'll probably find out in a couple of hours how he's done.

*hugs* I'm sorry about Zapp, Nancy :(

[sugaryfun.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear that. :( I hope he's okay.

Am thinking good thoughts for him, what a sweet boy he is ♥ Btw, my brother and his girlfriend did end up getting another cat -- she's 7 weeks old, mostly white with a bit of grey. I'll be meeting her tomorrow :-)

Oh what a sweet kitty. He looks a lot like my Tabby (who passed years ago) in the face. The same eyes.
I hope he recovers.

*hugs*
