Please help restore our beloved Buddy's quality of life after a most unfortunate accident!

Auckland

This past weekend, tragedy struck my little family. My youngest grand-fur-child, Buddy, was hit by a car in our little, quiet, neighbourhood.

I have a 9 year old daughter who is Mum to 3 beautiful kitty cats. We do not live on a main road and in the many years of having our beloved fur family, none have ever wandered to the nearest main road, and they stay within our normally lovely neighbourhood. So when I found him injured under my bed, I initially thought he must have been in a really bad fight with another animal.

I was beside myself seeing him in the state that he was, so my sister drove us out to the nearest after hours vet. Long story short, it became certain he was actually hit by a car and sustained some serious injuries.

There is good news in all of this…

He has had a successful surgery and is expected to make a full recovery!

Now, not only is the long road of recovery and unexpected possibilities ahead of us, but so is the daunting costs of being able to provide quality of life care for beloved furfam members.

Our cats are me and my daughter’s family. They mean the absolute world to us and we cannot picture our lives without any-one of them.

Please, if you can, any amount whatsoever contributed would be extremely appreciated and used to pay off costs surrounding Buddy’s care so far, and future care as he recovers. Please also share this page! Thank you so much for your time.

Use of funds

Surgery, procedures, medication, follow ups, and necessary equipment.

Joy in the little things  15 December 2024

Buddy’s amputation recovery is going well. He’s as much as a handful as ever, but he wouldn’t be Buddy without being so 😆 We still find joy in the little things together. I love this little go-getter of ours so much
