Sunny is back home ❤️

But it has taken us a few days to process the heartbreaking reality that, despite everyone’s best efforts, there was no way to surgically fix her leaking and repeated UTIs 😔

All the tests we did on her indicated that a surgical repair should be possible, but as is sometimes the case, imaging can only reveal so much. A full understanding comes when seeing the anatomy firsthand. During the procedure, Dr. Brandan Janssens discovered that Sunny was born without a urethra — her bladder empties directly into her va**na. Because of this extremely rare congenital condition, surgical reconstruction was simply not an option.

While this news is very disappointing, we find comfort in knowing that we explored every possible option for her. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Brandan and his team at Vetscape for their expertise, care, and dedication to helping Sunny.

For now, our focus is on keeping her happy, comfortable, and as healthy as possible. Sunny will stay in her loving foster home, where she is adored by her human and feline family. She has thrived there over the past year, and we know this is where she belongs.

To everyone who donated, shared her story, sent well wishes, and supported her — thank you. We wish we had better news, but please know that Sunny is happy, safe, loved, and being given the best life possible.

With gratitude,
The Luna Cat Rescue Team

SUNNY'S GETTING SURGERY! 💕

It's a big week for Sunny next week. After her tests and procedures in early January, Dr Brandan Janssens at Vetscape Animal Hospital has enough information to operate on Monday and repair her very unusual urinary tract. The urinary tract of a cat is very delicate and fiddly, and he wanted to be absolutely sure this was her best chance at a long and happy life. The tests in January show that it is.

Meanwhile, since her last hospital stay, Sunny has had a relaxing three weeks in her foster home, playing with her foster siblings. She is a strong and healthy girl, with a big personality, and we are so happy she is getting this chance at a long life.

Thank you again to everyone who donated to make this happen, and we'll keep you posted on her surgery and her recovery.
