To Help with Barrys intensive vetcare and trying to save his eye with possible eye surgery ahead He is putting up a strong fight

Auckland

I(Barry) am only 14 weeks old and loving my new home with my owners .I am their very first pet and am dearly loved.I am vaccinated,wormed,get fed good food and am normally watched like a hawk.However yesterday I went somewhere I had never been before..by the internal garage door.As the door opened I made a fast kitten dash for the outside and got jammed by the

automatic garage door coming down.I have had severe brain swelling and they thought I wasnt going to live. The wonderful specialists have pulled me through , and I am fighting really hard but I have a long road to recovery and may still lose an eye.I have my whole life to live,butterflies to chase ,gardens to explore and have at least 7 lives left.My owners had a months insurance but it finished 1 day before and paperwork was in the process to extend.They are really hard workers and trying really hard to get ahead and face a HUGE bill !!! Any help would be really appreciated Every little helps, Barry xx

Thankyou to family and friends of Barry We were so touched by the kindness of you all in both financial and caring Barry is now back to kittenish behaviour, exploring the vet clinic and playing during the day ,and going home at night His damaged eye remains blind but he has adapted well to compensate with his other eye. There is still swelling present so time will tell if he needs this removed.We are so happy Barry is a happy loving little boy again
