Help Jumba and his recovery

Jumba is a small grey kitten who I originally found dumped in a bush. From the moment I brought him home, he quickly became part of our family and gained so much confidence. He is loving, playful, and has brought so much happiness into our home.

A few days ago, Jumba got out and went missing for two days. When he finally came home, I found him covered in blood. At first, I thought he may have been hit by a car, but after getting him assessed, we were told something much more heartbreaking.

Jumba’s injuries are consistent with someone intentionally hurting him. His tail had been ripped away from his spine, as if he had been violently swung or pulled by the tail. Knowing someone could do this to such a small, innocent animal is devastating.

Jumba is currently at the Animal and Bird Hospital receiving emergency treatment and will need surgery to amputate his tail. Despite everything he has been through, the vets are hopeful and believe he has a very high chance of living a long, happy life after surgery.

I am doing absolutely everything I can to fund his treatment myself, but I am struggling to cover the costs on my own. I never imagined I would be in a position where I needed to ask for help, and I truly do not like asking for handouts, but right now I am out of options.

If anyone is able to help in any way, no matter how small, it would mean the world to us and to Jumba. Even if you are unable to donate, simply sharing this page could make a huge difference.
