Motherless, Alone, And Desperately Sick, Sadly It Looks As Though There Is Only One Option Left!

She met the tiny motherless kitten in the summer of 2017. She had been found alone with no Mom to care for her and very very ill. It looked as though euthanasia was to be the only choice for her.

If not for Lindsey, a big-hearted veterinary student in her final year at the University of Florida. She decided to care for the very ill kitten. Smush, as she was named, could not eat on her own, and required round-the-clock care with syringe meals every four hours.

She also had extreme ringworm, along with an upper respiratory infection. She received medication for the infection, with regular baths for the ringworm. The nice thing was Lindsey was able to bring Smush to campus as she was a member of the veterinary college.

Smush’s respiratory infection cleared up, but her ringworm proved difficult to completely clear even with regular baths. It is a common fungal infection in kittens with impaired immune systems and is desperately itchy.

Eventually, the infection cleared, and Smush was eating on her own. She no longer depended on Lindsey for her survival, so she was placed in Foster care. Her story is similar to this kitten who was found abandoned by its Mom in the rain.

A photographer named Shannon Jackson found about Smush’s dire circumstances through a colleague.
