Sos cats
On this page, we represent to you animals who are in a very bad emergency situation. They require a special kind of help which we as a team like to be able to give to them.
The situation can be a special kind of life saving operation, special medications or other kind of necessary treatment.
Sometimes, but not always the help these cats or kittens need, is very expensive, but we think they deserve our help.
Because they dont stand a chance without it...
With your donation for an Sos animal, we can give this cat the best possible help and many times save its life!
The first cat we present here as SOS animal is Louisa!

Louisa's situation
This is the story of Louisa 2 who is currently in our care. Louisa is a very very sweet and gentle young girl cat.
She is suffering from "Hernia Diaphragmatica" which is most likely to have been caused by human cruelty, almost certainly a strong kick by persons unknown. She has difficulty breathing, and cannot behave like a normal healthy cat. She has to be very quiet which she instinctively does. She cannot run or play. If she would that would be very dangerous! Louisa needs an urgent but very difficult and complex operation to save her life and make her healthy again.
This operation is expensive and will cost around 1250 Euro.
We have the possibility to fly her to Switzerland in July and to a specialist vet who will make the demanding operation. She also has a forever home waiting in Switzerland.
We would like to fundraise the cost of her operation and aftercare so that she can have the chance to live a long and healthy life.
This situation can be very dangerous and therefor it is important Louisa is treated by a specialist vet. 'Once a tear in the diaphragm is present, abdominal contents such as the stomach, liver, and intestines may enter the chest cavity The abdominal contents compress the lungs and prevent them from fully inflating, , resulting in respiratory distress known as dyspnea. The irritation to the heart muscle often causes abnormal heart rhythms. Fluid may leak into the chest cavity further complicating and worsening cardiopulmonary function.'
What causes a diaphragmatic hernia or rupture?
The most common cause of diaphragmatic hernia is trauma. Pets that fall from high places, are struck by automobiles, are kicked in the abdomen or suffer other forms of blunt trauma are likely to rupture their diaphragm. Congenital diaphragmatic hernias are the other major cause seen in veterinary hospitals.
What are the clinical signs of diaphragmatic hernia?
Clinical signs are dependent on the severity of herniation. With small tears or in cats born with a diaphragmatic hernia, there may be no discernable clinical signs. Many pet owners report mild breathing difficulties, especially when stressed, and periods of mild gastrointestinal upset. In severe or acute cases, there is often respiratory distress, systemic shock, abnormal heart rhythms, and muffled heart and lung sounds. The abdomen may feel empty when palpated.
What is the treatment for diaphragmatic hernia?
Treatment is first directed at stabilizing the patient if trauma has recently occurred. Some patients will require immediate thoracocentesis to remove any fluid that is accumulating in the chest cavity. Once the patient is stabilized and a diagnosis is made, the hernia must be corrected surgically.
