Taking care of a sick pet can be a scary experience and that’s what’s happening to Washington Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov with their family cat Joy.

We were first aware of the sick cat by reader Kristy Moore. Dmitry and his wife, Varvara Orlova, made posts on their Instagram of their sick cat asking for help. If you were on Instagram and follow Orlov, his wife, or both, you probably saw posts this past week about their cat needing help. The cat was in need of a blood donor.
