Hi Everyone
Tiny was hand reared by Barbara and is now 6 months old. She desperately needs a heart operation, so she can live a long healthy life. Please forward her plea to all your animal lover contacts.
Barbara urgently needs to take Tiny in for a series of tests that will cost R900.00 and thereafter Tiny will have to have an operation that has been estimated at between R6,000.00 an R8,000.00.
The vet currently attending to Tiny is Dr R Lobetti at Bryanston Veterinary Hospital, 0117066023 (Jenny).
If you are able to contribute anything (no amount is too small) that will help this little girl become an adult, please make a deposit into the bank account attached (the vet didn’t want to take responsibility for funds received and asked us to do it) and send confirmation to 083-6340069 or annita.hendriks@dsa-arch.com.
This is what Barbara writes:
Tiny needs a heart operation which will cost about R6000.00 to R8000.00. I don't have that kind of money and love her so much (and don't want to give her away). However, I will to someone that wants her and can afford the operation, so that she can live a healthy long life. The vet said if she does not have the operation she will only live about 8 months to 1 year and will die a terrible death. The chamber in her heart did not close when she was born, so now her heart beats too fast and she does not get enough oxygen going though her body. Tiny tries to be a kitten, but gets tired and out of breath very quickly. She was so small that she could not reach her mom to feed, so I used to sit on the floor and hold her up to the nipple so she could drink. She fought so hard to live, even with the other kittens pushing her away, she came back fighting. She is a lovely girl and needs a chance to live.
Thanks, Barbara and Tiny

UPDATE:
Hi Everyone
Tiny had her first round of tests and scan on the 3rd of May. Dr Lobetti determined that she has a small hole in her heart between the top two chambers. He wants to run more tests in a few weeks to see whether the hole is getting bigger or smaller, before “fiddling” with her as he put it. In the meantime he has told Barbara to treat her the same as a human with a heart condition – she has to take it easy.
Thank you to everyone for the contributions received to date. We received R1,800.00 so far and have used R900.00 of this for her first scan and tests. She needs to be sterilised as she has gone on heat. This will have to be done through Dr Lobetti, as she needs to be monitored carefully due to her condition. We are waiting for a quote from him.
All the best
Annita, Barbara & Tiny
