Friends, we have some concerning news about our cat, Jean 🐾

Earlier this month, Jean went outside and didn't return for 10 days. Unfortunately, he came back with a severe spinal injury, which has affected his tail, bladder, and kidneys.

We are currently following the vet’s treatment plan and waiting for a full examination with a neurologist this Thursday. The treatment and recovery process will be long, and we're afraid we won't be able to cover the medical costs on our own.

If you are able and willing to help Jean recover, we would be immensely grateful for any support!

💳 You can support Jean in the "Cats" section on our website (link in bio / description).

We will definitely keep you updated on his health and the results of his appointment. Thank you so much for your warmth and care! ❤️
