Help my beloved cat to get her urgent leg surgeries

$3,250 of $4,900 goal
Given by 113 generous donors in around 4 months

Urgent surgeries needed for Puss Puss, our loving and resilient cat, who was diagnosed with a luxating patella on both legs.

Raglan, Waikato

My beautiful cat, Puss Puss, was diagnosed with a luxating patella on both her back legs three weeks ago and needs her first surgery in just one week.

This news came as a shock since she has always been happy and healthy. Two days before Christmas, she started limping, and the condition hasn't improved. The vet informed me that surgery on both legs is necessary, costing an estimated $5,500.

I rescued Puss Puss 2.5 years ago from the SPCA, and we have developed an incredible bond. From a nervous and shy cat, she has become the most loving, affectionate, and confident friend. She has shown me the purest unconditional love, and I'm determined not to give up on her.

Asking for help hasn't been easy, but I can't afford the surgery alone. I recently graduated from university and am already burdened with debt. I am organising fundraisers to cover as much of the costs as possible, but we still need additional help for Puss Puss's urgent care.

Please join me in supporting Puss Puss's journey to a pain-free life. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference and bring us closer to our goal. If you can't donate, please consider sharing our campaign within your network. Your kindness and generosity will not only help Puss Puss but will forever be cherished by both of us.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering supporting Puss Puss in her time of need.

Use of funds

All funds will go to her vet bills. If we exceed, the remaining funds will go to Paws Awhile Animal Sanctuary in Raglan to help other animals.

Closing our funding page ❤️  10 May 2024

With a heart full of gratitude, I'm closing our page. I've added more photos from the first surgery healing period and a couple from the past few days after her second surgery. I'll be sharing her progression through cage rest for those who wish to continue following her journey (if I can still upload them). I've also included the second invoice for transparency of your generous contributions ❤️
