Help raise money for Cashews surgery

Auckland

Hello! Our 8 year old cat has gotten herself into a little mess and now requires surgery on both legs, cashew needs Bilateral cruciate ligament surgery and we were originally quoted around 15k, with cashews original vet visit we paid $2800 and then an additional $350 for specialist consultation. We would like to seek other opinions and options as we know there will be cheaper options available, we should be okay to pay for a couple consultations but help would well and truly be appreciated especially if we decide to go through with surgery.

Cashew has so much life left in her still energetic despite being bed bound, if cashew got the surgery she would also need physio therapy to straighten her legs. It’s hard to figure out what will be the best for cashew as it seems like she doesn’t want to go(other option is euthanasia). Anything in any way will truly be appreciated

Thank you

Ashley, Carissa & Cashew

Update:

Words truly cannot express how grateful we are for everyone’s love and support especially to those who don’t know us personally, it means the world to us. We are seeking other options and opinions and hope to have an update soon

The biggest thank you always ❤️  7 July 2025

Posted by: Carissa Tutu

I truly cannot thank everybody for all their support throughout this time, financially and through words of love. The past 2 months have been so severely stressful, not only managing a semi immobile cat but also fighting with thoughts of "am I really doing the right thing?". We are still awaiting TPLO surgery as I aquire the funds, for the meantime Cashew has truly been doing amazing despite the challenges she's currently facing 🤗. Everyday we have some playtime together with her scratch board, she watches her favourite shows like SpongeBob and Adventure Time, and tries to have a go at the bird shows I put on for her haha.

Here she is from the other night, all relaxed and warm watching her show after dinner 🤗

Lots of love always,

Cashew & Carissa 🤍
