The tests showed he sufferes from a rare desease &#8211; <strong>dwarfism<\/strong>. Same as in humans, dwarfism is a lack of a growth hormone that leads to a short stature and that brings along quite a few complications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Willow needs a medicine that is not imported to Bulgaria. It is called <strong>Porcine growth hormone<\/strong> and is not only difficult to get, but also costly. If you could help us by sending us the necssary drug, or donating to us so that we could import it from Italy, Willow will be forever in debt to you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/arsofia.com\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC06370.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-13045\" title=\"DSC06370\" src=\"http:\/\/arsofia.com\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC06370-450x337.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arsofia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC06370-450x337.jpg 450w, https:\/\/arsofia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC06370-245x183.jpg 245w, https:\/\/arsofia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC06370.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Willow with his cat friends at the Bogrov shelter office Willow is a 3-4 month old boy who came to Bogrov with his brothers and sisters from an abandoned litter.
