Save Phoenix

Phoenix was found by a good Samaritan in a pile of garbage. She initially thought that the cat was just covered in caked-on mud but after a closer look and hearing the cat cry out in pain when she picked her up to clean her, she realized that the cat was badly charred. It is suspected that Phoenix was intentionally burned alive, thrown in a pile of garbage, and left to die. How she managed to survive is a mystery but it shows how brave she is and her will to survive.

Phoenix suffered second degree burns on her face and body that have partially healed by the time she was found as the burns look to be between 5 days old to a week old. Second degree burns involve the deeper layers of skin and produces redness, swelling, and blisters on the skin surface. They are painful, at risk of infection, and takes longer to heal. To help with faster healing, ointment is applied on her burns twice a day. Not an easy task because it’s painful for her whenever and wherever she is touched. The tip of her ears were burnt to a crisp, it’s almost as if they will fall off if touched. She is on painkillers and anti-inflammatory to minimize pain and discomfort as much as possible. She is also on antibiotics to fight off the secondary infection, and is on a nebulizer every four hours to help treat her respiratory infection.

Phoenix is also blind in both eyes, possibly due to the way her eyelids healed and attached itself to her eyeballs. Most likely due to the pain, Phoenix is not eating so she is being given fluid therapy. Her fluid intake and electrolyte imbalance, which could pose a potential risk, are also being monitored.

We may never know who committed this horrific act but we are focused on providing Phoenix a second chance so she can rise from the ashes and live a new life.

Phoenix has a long way to go. Her treatment is costly and her confinement and recovery is going to be long. Please keep her in your thoughts as she fights for her life. Any spare change you can afford to donate for her is greatly appreciated.

We will update as often as possible.
