Helping to raise money to save Gizmo!!! A sick little kitty!!!!

Thanks to everyone who can contribute or share her link......

ALTHOUGH THE LINK SAYS SHE MAY BE RETURNED TO THE KILL SHELTER, THIS IS NOT TRUE ANYMORE!!!! I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CHANGE THE LINK AS I AM NO COMPUTER GENIUS!!!! WE LOVE HER DEARLY AND SHE NEEDS TO GET WELL SO SHE CAN SPEND HER FUREVER HOME WITH US......THE SHELTER WILL JUST PUT HER DOWN AS SICK AS SHE IS...OUR NEXT VET APPOINTMENT IS ON THE 25TH AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER WITH A SPECIALIST THAT DEALS WITH BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS! PLEASE HELP US! We are a one income family who adopted this kitty thinnking she would only need normal kitten stuff like de-worming. vaccinations, spay etc and its turned out to be s much more. I had a career ending injury as a Paramedic so my husband is the breadwinner right now. But we do not throw our sick babies away to be put down..we do not do that to sick kids in group homes because there is no more space for them when they are ill........well I believe animals deserve chacnes as well.....they should make a huge open indoor/outdoor sanctuary for the cats who are healthy so they can run around and play...this will make more room in shelters...there were two shelters like this where I used to live in NY and they all seemed to get along just fine.....

normally we would not ask for financial help from people for a cat we adopted, but we thought she would only need the routine treatments like de-worming, treating for ear mites, vaccinations and spaying which would be affordable.....but then we got this bad news.....

we went back to the on june 19th vet for new blood work and the results were not good.....her white blood cell count actually increased from 20.84 to 27.05 which is very bad, it means she may have a serious infection.. (normal range is 5.5-19.5) Her hemoglobin went from 4.19-4.46 which is worse than what the vet had expected....(normal range is 8.0-15)the vet said it should have increased much more within one week......we go back to the vet for more blood work on june 25th to see where we stand.....the vet thinks she is definitely going to have to see a specialist for a blood transfusion..and this will cost us a couple thousand dollars......the shelter had said there was nothing wrong with her when we adopted her so I am very upset....but my husband and I are keeping her and will get her the treatment she needs.....unfortunately that puts a huge strain on us financially because I cannot work due to a disability so he is our only source of income.......but we do not give our pets back to the shelter just because they are sick....we are only asking for help for expected expensive treatments she will need.....she is very sick.....but WE ARE KEEPING HER!!!!!!!! We have named her Gizmo....she is now on clavamox, clindamycin which are both antibiotics and medicine for the anemia...but the vet said that its a 95 percent chance she will need a blood transfusion....

kitty went back to vet two days ago to repeat her blood work. It actually came back either as worse or as unchanged which means she is not improving.......on june 13th her white blood cell count was 20.84 (normal range is 5.5-19.5) and her hemoglobin was was 4.9 (normal range is 8.0-15) so the vet diagnosed her with severe anemia, skin dermatitis and an upper respiratory infection.....she came home on two meds....
