Hello everyone,

You may remember last year me and my sister were feeding a family of 4 cats that had been abandoned by their owner. In this group was my very own Nimue, and her daughter little Delilah. When I took in Nim, my sister took in Deli (the other two cats were taken in by local people). Deli is about a year old.

It was clear from the start that something funky was going on with the cats and we suspected they were all a little inbred, which made Deli twice as inbred as her father is also her uncle.

Deli was recently taken to the vet for a check up and it was discovered that besides her slightly deformed lower jaw, she has a severe (grade 4 out of 6) heart murmur. She also has breathing issues that could be caused by fluid on the lungs, a symptom of the heart murmur.

The heart murmur is severe enough that we're not sure if surgery can help, but would need further investigation to know for sure. But if we do nothing at all there's a high chance that this issue will kill her. So we want to at least see if it's possible.

The vet suggested a specialist consult and ultrasound, however this costs over £700.

The last two years haven't been kind to my family, things keep happening on all fronts, and we're in a position that we can't afford this on our own. This also doesn't include any future surgery if that's an option.

I'm not in a position where I can offer art in exchange which is what I would normally do. And my sister is too unwell herself to offer the same.

If anyone is willing to help us by donating, please do! If not just sharing this information would be a great help to us.
