TX DFPS - Hays County

Catalaya is an adorable little one! She was brought into care shortly after her birth. She was born underweight and drug exposed, spending some time in NICU before being placed in her foster home. Her favorite activities include sleeping, eating, looking cute, cuddling, and taking morning strolls with her caregivers. There have been some medical concerns regarding Catalaya's weight gain, so she attends weekly doctor appointments to monitor her progress. Since being placed in her foster home, she has started to gain a little weight, albeit just an ounce at a time. She loves to babble and is becoming more aware every day!

Catalaya is an infant in foster care. She was born underweight and exposed to drugs, spending some time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) before being placed in her foster home. Due to concerns about her weight gain, Catalaya attends weekly doctor appointments for monitoring. She requires feedings every two hours with prescription formula. Given the number of appointments she has and the long distances traveled for parent-child visits, the foster family is seeking assistance in obtaining a portable travel bottle warmer. This warmer would make it easier and more efficient to feed Catalaya while traveling, which occurs multiple times a week.
