Tikka is a 5-month-old kitten who likes to cuddle with her sister and play with her foster family. When Tikka grew lethargic and stopped eating, her foster family knew something was not right and brought her into Pieper Memorial Veterinary Center.

There was indeed a problem, Tikka had swallowed a piece of string so thin doctors were barely able to see it on an ultrasound. Fostered through Monkey’s Pack Rescue, a Connecticut non-profit animal rescue, little Tikka was a good candidate for surgery with a great chance for a full recovery. The Pieper Olson Foundation stepped in and offered to help Monkey’s Pack Rescue with the cost of getting Tikka healthy and back home.

Tikka made it through surgery and is on the road to recovery, back home with her sister, ready for adoption by her foster family. At Pieper Olson Foundation, we love hearing stories of pets being able to return to the families that love them and we’re proud of any part we can play in their journey home.
