We aim to enable these owners to access the immediate, lifesaving care their cats need, preventing the need to surrender their pets to local shelters or face the heart-wrenching decision of euthanizing an otherwise healthy animal.

Your donation helps an owner be able to treat their feline fur baby during a very scary, life threatening illness and allows them to keep their cat instead of surrendering to a shelter or in the worst case scenario euthanize them. We are currently only within the Austin area, but hope to grow soon!

What is FLUTD?
Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) is a group of problems associated with the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) of cats. The most serious and life threatening complication of FLUTD is urethral obstruction (UO). The cat is unable to urinate and becomes very ill very rapidly. This is an extremely common emergency seen in cats-approximately 10% of all feline emergencies involves a blocked cat. UO is very treatable, but can be very expensive, as it is a multiple day hospitalization and often surgery. |
