Frito's Surgeries & Other Medical Costs

Frito was born looking a little different.

He is a drastically undersized kitten with a cleft lip who was found outside of a business. Frito's a spunky little guy who loves life, and ACR is committed to helping him thrive.

Frito was doing very well, until he wasn't. He ended up with aspiration pneumonia and needed antibiotics, but then did really well and thrived. He may be tiny, but he is mighty.

However, Frito’s struggles did not end there. He has tremors and falls over a lot. We took him to the vet and he has been diagnosed with cerebellar hypoplasia, or wobbly kitten syndrome.

In order to live happily and pain-free, Frito will probably need several surgeries. His cleft must be fixed to keep him from becoming congested and possibly aspirating; he’s already had two rounds of antibiotics. He will also need his bottom canines removed to prevent them from cutting into the roof of his mouth due to his misaligned jaw. Then this surgery needs to be repeated once his adult teeth come in.

With medical intervention, we see a lot more playing, cuddling, and joy in Frito’s future!
