Prayers for my Kitty

I have been so excited about having my first kitty, but today wasn't so exciting. My fiance messaged me at work and let me know something was wrong with the cat. My fiance, his brother and his fiance all rushed my kitty to the Banfield clinic on Shallowford road. They wouldn't see him, despite the fact that he couldn't stand up, nor move one side of his body. So, they drove him to the clinic on Gunbarrel where he had be given fluids, concentrated calories, and a blood transfusion.

He's 8 weeks old today, and I hope it's not his last. We've only had him a week, and while I know people will be skeptical about how attached I am to him, I am very attached already. At the hospital, it went from "it's not good," to "he's dying," to "he's still alive but it's touch-and-go." We did get to see him before we left the clinic, and he was somewhat responsive, but very, very sleepy. I imagine that the ordeal he's had today would make him sleepy, so I doubt that's an indicator of anything.

The vet. isn't really sure what's wrong with him, and we don't notice any big changes in his behavior since we've only had him a week. Our only guess is that he is anemic, and has probably been sick since before we got him.

I almost feel bad coming to God asking him to help my kitty, because I know there are so much more important things in this world. There's war, famine, disease, abuse, and many humans suffering. However, if you would be willing to just take ten seconds out of your day, and say a short, but heartfelt, prayer for my kitty, I'd really appreciate it. If anything, please pray that he knows that I care about him and that although we've had such a short time together, I love him very much.
