most common stone found in feline kidneys is composed of calcium oxalate. This  type of nephrolith cannot be dissolved and must be removed surgically. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy has not been successful in cats with nephroliths. Feline kidneys are especially sensitive to shock wave lithotripsy treatments. Our only option is surgical removal.
Without surgical removal, the nephrolith will continue to enlarge resulting in reductions in kidney function,
recurring and uncontrollable urinary tract infections, obstruction of urine outflow and eventually premature kidney failure. After all this poor cat has been though and she has such a strong will that we cannot bear the thought of her succumbing to something that together we can fix.

With the state of the economy as it and the influx of "Foreclosure Pets" and other pet surrenders due to harships, our medical budget is exhausted. Any donation towards Amy's desperately needed surgery will be deeply appreciated and may help save this sweet little cat's life.

On behalf of Amy, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
