I was wondering if anybody out there had any advice on how to revive my shriveling orchid, before she completely dies!

I just rescued her from my moms house, where the cat knocked her over and then everyone forgot about her:(

Is there any chance at survival?
If so, any advice would be greatly greatly appreciated!

Yes it can be saved.
It is some type of Oncidium or a member of the Oncidium group of orchids. The media that the plant is in has broken down. Plus it is too coarse, the individual pieces are too big. When you have a plant like an Oncidium which likes to be moist with a coarse media, those two items do not work together.
If it was mine, I would repot it into a fine mix, particle size 1/8-1/4 ", and use a smaller pot. The part in your picture should be in the middle of the pot because it will grow from there. The part tonthe left, the part that looks the worse should be against the rim of the pot. Keep it in bright light, no sun until new growth starts, then an east window would be nice. Water it once a week in the finer mix.
If kept as is, it wii most likely die.

Wow, thank you for such a prompt and detailed response. I truly appreciate that.

And I wish i knew exactly what kind of orchid this was because I feel like taking care of her would be a little simpler, if only I had that information.

But I will definitely do my best to follow the advice that you give right here.

Just one quick question, do you think that maybe regular(good quality) potting soil mix with , I don't know, maybe sand (or something) would be more suitable?

I had no idea that the growth medium that is labeled as the best suited for orchids, could potentially be bad for certain types of orchids.

You have to understand that almost all orchids CAN NOT grow in potting soil. Their roots are special in that they require copious amounts of oxygen to survive. Potting soil would smother them and they would quickly die.
Orchids are epiphytes, they grow on another plant or object for support.
The best I can tell you is that I think you have some kind of orchid from the Oncidium Alliance. There is very little hope of exactly identifying which one unless when it flowers it turns out to be a species or a widely grown hybrid that some one recognizes. There are easily 3000species in the Alliance and maybe 12,000 hybrids. Out of flower and in poor health there is no possible way to tell what you have!! The best you can do for now is to follow the general care instructions that I gave you.
If you wanted printed instructions you can go to the American Orchid Society website aos.org and under one of the pull downs you will find culture sheets. They are pdf. Files and you can download and print the one on Oncidium care.

Thank you so much for all your advice so far. One last question ..
In your first response you mentioned getting a finer medium "particle size 1/8-1:4 ", do you think you could give me an example of what your talking about when you say that, because I don't understand what that means.
Thank you!

You need a media that each individual piece is on the small side. You know how big a green pea is, well you want the individual pieces that the orchid is growing in to be roughly that size.
Not Lima bean sized, not grape sized pieces, small pieces. Why? Because Oncidium roots are very skinny like uncooked spaghetti. If you use a media that has Lima bean or grape sized pieces, it does not retain enough moisture. It dries out to quickly and the plant suffers. They end up looking like yours does.

Oncidiums only like an hour or two of sun a day, the rest of the time just bright. They like to be moist all the time with the media never drying out for any length of time.

Peas, beans and grapes. I love that analogy

Thanks Ted!
Nowadays some people can't visualize inches or 2/3 or 3/8", so I try to remember to use peas, beans and grapes when I refer to media size. In my basic orchid classes, it often drives my point home!

That analogy definitely made it a lot easier to understand. Thank you Bigbill!!

She's now in her new home. A smaller pot with smaller medium. I'll make sure she doesn't dry out, and keep a close eye on her. Thank you for all of the advice! I appreciate very much!

Very welcome Jenna!
