Hi… my name is Rocco. 🐾
I’m usually a curious, bouncy little kitty. I like to explore everything, chase toys, and get into places I probably shouldn’t. Life is usually fun.
But right now… I feel really, really bad.
My tummy hurts all the time. I keep getting sick, and nothing stays down. I don’t want to eat. I don’t even want to drink. I just lie there, quiet and still, because moving makes everything feel worse. I’m not playing. I’m not purring the same way. I’m just… tired.
My foster family knew something wasn’t right. They took me to the vet, hoping it was something simple. I got medicine, and everyone hoped I would bounce back.
But I didn’t.
By the next morning, I was worse. Sicker. Quieter. More uncomfortable.
So we went back, had an X-ray… and that’s when they found something really scary.
There’s a blockage in my intestine.
That means something is stuck inside me, and my body can’t pass it. It’s causing everything to back up, making me feel sicker and sicker. The vet said this isn’t something that can wait — without surgery, it can become life-threatening very quickly.
I don’t understand all of that… I just know my tummy hurts, and I need help.
The good news is — there is a way to fix this. The vet can remove the blockage with surgery, and if everything goes well, I can go back to being the playful, happy kitten I’m meant to be.
Pet Patrol is already working to schedule my emergency surgery, because they believe I deserve that chance.
But emergency care like this is expensive, especially all at once:
- Exams and X-rays to find the problem
- Surgery to remove the blockage
- Medications, fluids, and aftercare
- Follow-up visits to make sure I heal safely
They didn’t hesitate to help me — even though it’s a lot.
If you’re able to donate or share my story, you’re helping give me that second chance. You’re helping take away this pain and replace it with play, comfort, and a future.
I’m scared… but I’m also hopeful.
Because I know I’m not alone.
Thank you for caring about a little kitten who just wants to feel better again. 💙
With small, hopeful purrs,
Rocco 🐱🐾
