From Stray to Kidney Failure Warrior | Joe’s Story

Inspiring Pet Tails 3 min read

When Sofia found Joe the stray cat facing late stage kidney failure, she refused to give up. Instead, she made a dedicated care plan with a vet and holistic supplements that led to an amazing improvement in his condition.

Read on to see how this brave cat went from lethargic to climbing trees and hunting again!

One Special Kitty – And a Tough Diagnosis

Joe is a very special cat from the UAE. He had been a stray in Sofia’s care for over a year. But one day, she noticed him wandering far from his usual park territory, looking dangerously thin. While she suspected a recurring jaw injury was the cause of his sudden weight loss, blood tests revealed a much more serious diagnosis: late stage kidney failure.

She shares:

I expected it to be a lesion that reopened on his jaw but blood test showed otherwise. He unfortunately has last stage of kidney failure and veterinary medicine doesnt really has much to offer apart from palliative care.

For cats, a kidney failure diagnosis means their body struggles to clear out the toxins that normally pass through his system. And for Joe, this toxic buildup was the reason behind his sudden weight loss and the lethargy Sofia noticed; his body was simply working too hard to work the same.

With the vet offering only palliative care, Joe’s situation seemed impossible to help. However, Sofia wasn’t ready to say goodbye. With a big heart, she stepped up and formed an action plan to support him.

Caring for Joe

Sofia’s plan focused on supporting Joe’s kidneys from multiple angles to keep him comfortable and hydrated. She worked closely with her vet, as kidney failure is very serious.

She started him on subcutaneous fluids to manually flush out toxins, and used other vet recommendation to reduce kidney strain. But one addition came all the way from Canada – NHV Tripsy!

After around 3 weeks of Tripsy, subcut fluids and phosphate binder Joe started gaining weight, he went back to his old hunting habits prowling on mice and birds, he started climbing trees again.. there is definitely something in Tripsy supplement that helped to revive him and from lethargic and not eating. He started living again.

NHV Tripsy is an all-natural, vet-formulated supplement for kidneys and urinary system support. It works by using a blend of seven herbs – including Stone Root, Parsley Piert, and Marshmallow Root – to gently flush toxins from the body. They also help with inflammation and encourage healthy kidney function.

For Joe, it proved to be a helpful addition in managing discomfort and toxic buildup. Even if the disease cannot be cured, vet and holistic care can go a long way to improving quality of life.

Joe’s Update

Joe continues to do well on his journey. He’s back to his old hunting grounds and has even received some impressed comments from his vets.

Additionally, a recent vet visit confirms that his liver values aren’t too bad, and that he has maintained a good weight. Sofia is very impressed with this outcome. It just goes to show what love can do – especially for vulnerable kitties like Joe.
