This sweet soul is Miss Tea, a 6-year-old Calico cat. Miss Tea has a mom who is so committed to her and her health, she'll do whatever she can to help her. Miss Tea has severe allergies to different things, food, environment, etc. Her mom has tried just about everything to make Miss Tea comfortable.

A few years ago Miss Tea had a sore on her back end, likely an allergic reaction to something. Over the years she has tried numerous cones to keep her from chewing on the sore, prescription medicines, creams and so on. Miss Tea's mom thought it was better, but the sore is back and her mom's funds have now become exhausted, so she applied for help to get Miss Tea looked at and put on some new medication. 

If you didn’t know, our fur kids (like us) can suffer from allergies. Below is a list of signs and symptoms that may show that you cat or pup may have allergies:

• Diarrhea, vomiting, sneezing, chronic ear infections
• Itchy, runny eyes or constant licking
• Itchiness, hives
• Swelling of the face, ears, lips, eyelids or earflaps  
• Red, inflamed skin

​Other conditions can also cause these symptoms, so it is best to make an appointment with your veterinarian to get an accurate diagnosis so your fur baby can feel better. 

Miss Tea's mom and her new vet have a plan in place and they are hopeful this will help this sweet kitty continue to do better. No matter what is happening with your fur kid, at any stage of life, Fur Kids Foundation encourages you to call your veterinarian sooner rather than later.
