Meet Noel.

This sweet cat has had a rough start to life and needs your support to heal. She was found emaciated and near death in front of a coffee shop in Greece.

She was brought back to Let’s be S.M.A.R.T., a local cat rescue and sanctuary, to be examined. The team discovered that Noel was suffering from painful mouth ulcers and many necrotic teeth.

They shared with us how dire her condition was when she arrived, “She was skin and bones, pale and her temperature was so low the thermometer couldn’t detect it.”

Noel was too weak to undergo surgery and was immediately started on antibiotics and IV fluids. She remained hospitalized for a couple weeks to regain some of her strength.

Once she was discharged, she needed constant care as she couldn’t eat or drink on her own. “We fed her with a syringe every couple of hours and gave her water the same way. After a few days the miracle happened and Noel started feeling better, gained some strength and was finally able to eat on her own,” recalled her caretakers.

Noel had her rotten teeth removed once she was strong enough and is on the road to recovery. However, it will be a long journey and she needs your help.

Her medical bills continue to accumulate as she developed another sore on her gums and needs another round of antibiotics and medication.
