Eintracht Frankfurt striker Michy Batshuayi is facing immense personal grief after his beloved cat, kiyo, passed away following a devastating accident.

In a desperate bid to save his pet, Batshuayi took to Instagram, appealing for urgent blood donations.

Tragically, despite the outpouring of support and the efforts of veterinary professionals, Kiyo did not survive.Batshuayi announced the heartbreaking news on Sunday evening, confirming that his cherished companion passed away at a veterinary clinic.
“Kiyo received several blood transfusions, but regrettably his immune system rejected the foreign blood,” Batshuayi explained, detailing the grim medical battle. “His cells began to fight the foreign blood, which led to serious complications.” The situation was further compounded by an additional infection, which ultimately prevented veterinarians from proceeding with the necessary operation, as the animal’s chances of survival were deemed to be only 20 percent.
Batshuayi and his partner, Amley, remained by Kiyo’s side during his final hours, offering comfort and love. The striker shared a poignant farewell message, expressing his deep sorrow and gratitude:
“He left in our arms, surrounded by love, his heart finally at peace. I asked his forgiveness for not being able to protect him the way I would have wanted. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts,to all the blood donors and to everyone who wanted to help us and Kiyo. Your kindness, your love and your support will forever remain in our hearts. We love you forever, Kiyo. Rest in peace, my darling.”
