A sad update about Alex…
After more than two months in the hospital, we had to make a decision we never wanted to make.
We had to bring Alex back to the shelter.
Not because he is better.
Not because he no longer needs medical care.
But because we simply could not afford to keep him hospitalized any longer.
The few donations we received for Alex helped us cover some of his old bills, and we are incredibly grateful for that. But they were nowhere near enough to cover his ongoing hospitalization, the new procedures he needs, and the mounting costs ahead.
Alex’s recovery is very slow.
Being FIV positive means his body struggles to heal. His condition is neurological, his mouth is severely damaged, and now he has a feeding tube because eating normally is simply too painful for him.
We know many of you have been seeing updates about Alex for weeks. We understand that after two months, people may feel there is nothing new to say.
But for Alex, every day is still a battle.
Now he is at APC, and we are doing everything ourselves. We administer his food through the feeding tube, give his medications, clean and monitor him, and try our best to provide the care he still desperately needs.
He needs feeding around the clock, and honestly, it is terrifying. We have cared for animals with feeding tubes before, but never a case as fragile as Alex’s. We are constantly worried about making a mistake, but we have no other choice.
We promised Alex we would not give up on him.
So we are asking again, for Alex.
Please help us continue his treatment. Help us buy his food, medications, and cover the enormous veterinary bills he has already accumulated.
Because despite everything he has endured, Alex is still fighting.
And so are we💔
