Pixie is one of the kittens at #tinykittens , the cat rescue group that I follow and support.

Please send prayers and good thoughts for Pixie and all of the TK staff and Pixie's adoptive family. If you care to donate to help, that would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

TinyKittens HQ on Instagram: "We need your help, as Pixie is unexpectedly fighting for her life. Pixie had complications during her spay today, which resulted in severe swelling that has prevented the removal of her breathing tube. She must remain sedated and on oxygen while the critical care team works to reduce the swelling.   So far, she has not responded to any of the medications that typically reduce swelling. They are now determining if it is possible to place a tracheotomy tube that would allow her to be extubated and still breathe.   Please send all of your positive thoughts, prayers and love her way, as she will need every bit of it.   The initial estimate for her medical care is $8000.  We know this is a lot to ask, but if you are able to donate toward her care, we would be incredibly grateful:  TinyKittens.com/donate We will update this post as we find out more.   Stinkerbelle's spay went well, and she is home and receiving snuggles while we wait for news. 💕"

Updates on Pixie at #TinyKittens from last night and this morning. Please continue to send good thoughts for her.

"UPDATE 10:18am - Pixie did great overnight, and her team is cautiously optimistic they will be able to remove her trach and start testing her breathing on her own. It is possible she could even be home by tonight! She is NOT out of the woods yet, but making encouraging progress.

Once again, I am completely overwhelmed with gratitude that YOU, our #TinyVillage, have stepped up and made it possible to save Pixie's life. She would not be alive today without you.

UPDATE 8:57pm - Pixie was able to be extubated and have a tracheotomy tube placed, which is very encouraging news. This was a very challenging procedure given her tiny size, so we are extremely grateful to her incredibly skilled surgical specialty team,

and to her critical care team for monitoring her constantly to make sure she continues to breathe and continues to process all of the medications she needed to keep fighting to this point.

We are also extremely grateful to our #TinyVillage for making it possible for us to give Pixie the chance to fight her way back from this. She is still in critical condition, but we now have reason to cling to a tiny spark of hope. <3"

Great new update re: Pixie at #TinyKittens -

"UPDATE 3:36pm - Pixie has had her trach removed and is breathing normally!!!! Her team would like to keep her for one more night just to make sure she continues to do well, but we could not be more relieved and grateful that we seem to be getting a not-at-all-tiny miracle!!!"

TinyKittens HQ on Instagram: "YOU GUYS. Stinkerbelle and I just got to visit Pixie... ❤️😭💕 Pixie’s life is nothing less than a miracle, brought about by a massive amount of veterinary magic, incredible nursing care, and our global #TinyVillage rallying to save one tiny but mighty stegosaurus kitten, who refused to give up. As of this evening, her tracheotomy tube has been removed, the swelling has nearly all subsided, and she is breathing normally. She needs one more night of close monitoring, and we are hopeful she will be able to come home tomorrow. Whilst at @bbvsh_langley, Pixie is being extremely spoiled, and even occasionally making good choices! She particularly enjoys playing with her catheter and her sutures. We brought her a snuggle mama so she can cuddle up with something that has a heartbeat when she’s not being cuddled by her excellent team of caregivers. Extra special thanks to Chinouk. ❤️ I am so, so grateful tonight. ❤️ #TinyMiracles"
