If your cat gets a new kidney, you must agree to adopt the donor cat from whom the kidney is taken. A tissue match isn t necessary in cats, says Doctor Clare Gregory, and organ rejection problems are easily overcome. If your cat s kidneys fail because of poison, kidney dialysis may be an option. Treatment takes three to four weeks though it s expensive. Check with your veterinarian to see if this is an option.
