Name: Haim
Home: —
Date of Birth: 2011 (13 years old)
Condition: Stage 3 CKD
From Haim’s Guardian
Haim was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in October 2022.
By that time, one kidney had already lost function, and the other showed signs of advanced CKD.
Despite the challenges, I wanted to make her remaining time as comfortable as possible.
Starting the Routine
In March 2024, I began a new care plan for Haim that included the Dr. Toru Protocol, alongside her existing treatments such as digestive and liver support, omega-3, and periodic stem cell therapy under veterinary guidance.
We also monitored her hydration carefully and maintained a consistent feeding schedule.
Health Observations
Haim began AIM supplementation in March and showed significant improvements in kidney function by April.
| Health Metric | March 2024 | April 2024 | Observation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creatinine (CREA) | 4.6 | 2.9 | Recorded lower reading at follow-up |
| BUN Levels | 99 | 73 | Measured within a reduced range |
| Phosphorus Levels | 5.4 | 6.3 | Slight fluctuation, monitored for balance |
During this period, Haim remained steady in appetite and began moving more comfortably around the house.
Her guardian noted that she seemed more responsive and engaged in her surroundings, enjoying quiet moments together with her family.
Daily Life and Condition
Haim’s condition had once made it difficult for her to walk or use the litter box, but in her later months she was able to move with greater ease.
Her appetite stayed consistent, and she continued to interact with those around her.
Although she eventually passed away due to pulmonary complications unrelated to CKD, she remained alert and affectionate until her final days — a time her guardian remembers with deep gratitu
What I Learned as a Guardian
Caring for a senior cat with advanced kidney disease taught me the importance of patience and observation.
Even small moments of stability felt meaningful, and every extra day of comfort was precious.
It reminded me that care is not just about treatment, but about making each day peaceful and full of love.
Looking Ahead
Haim’s story continues to inspire her guardian to offer the same thoughtful care to other cats in need.
Her memory serves as a reminder that gentle consistency and compassion can make a lasting difference in how we support our cats through chronic illness.
A Gentle Reminder
