Pippin, a beautiful five-year-old domestic shorthair feline received a lifesaving blood transfusion when he came to Animal Emergency Hospital Volusia for anemia.
After a successful recovery, his grateful owners John and Robin Marsh have decided to pay it forward by having Pippin become a blood donor to help other pets in need.
As a 24-hour emergency animal hospital, we rely on blood donations from both cats and dogs to help other pets in critical moments. We are currently experiencing a blood shortage, so we are so appreciative of all of our blood donors and looking for even more qualified pets.

We hope Pippin’s story inspired you and your family to think about your pet becoming a blood donor.
