I found Lola when I moved into my house in East Ridge. She is the sweetest, most affectionate kitty, but unfortunately, I'm looking for a new home for her because I can't pay to continue treating her. She has had steroids, antibiotics, and her vaccines, and she showed signs of improvement, but her skin is still scabbing and she sneezes and coughs. The vet couldn't get a proper listen to her lungs because they couldn't get her to stop purring. She is the most precious cat, and I have given her the best life I can, but I'm hoping somebody can save her life. I just want her to be healthy.
